스마트워치와 관련하여 Apple 워치 시리즈 10 은 오늘날 이용 가능한 다양한 견고한 옵션 중 하나의 경쟁자에 불과합니다.
새로운 HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro가 곧 시장을 뒤흔들며, Apple의 최신 제품과 직접 경쟁하는 기능 풍부한 대안을 제공합니다.
피트니스 추적 및 심박수 모니터링 (ECG 기능 포함), GPS 기반 워터 스포츠 추적, 스마트 알림 등 모든 기능을 통해 두 시계 모두 원활하고 고성능의 경험을 제공합니다.
핵심 차이점은 무엇일까요? HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro 는 이 모든 기능을 훨씬 더 경쟁력 있는 가격에 제공하며, 어떤 면에서는 Apple 워치를 능가할 수도 있습니다.따라서 이번 비교에서는 두 제품이 서로 어떻게 경쟁하는지 살펴보고, HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro가 귀하의 손목에 더 현명한 선택이 될지 확인해 보겠습니다.지금 바로 시작해 보겠습니다!
디자인, 구축 및 디스플레이
디자인부터 시작해, 둘 다 각자의 방식으로 매우 인상적입니다.
두 스마트워치 모두 오른쪽에 회전형 크라운과 사이드 버튼이 있고 왼쪽에는 스피커 그릴이 있어 레이아웃이 유사합니다. 다만 흥미로운 점은 HUAWEI WATCH의 강조된 회전형 크라운인데, ours는 스트랩과 잘 어울리는 녹색으로 되어 있습니다.
우리가 가지고 있는 Apple Watch Series 10은 플루오로엘라스토머 소재의 블랙 스포츠 밴드가 포함된 42mm 변형 모델입니다. 이 제품은 알루미늄 합금 케이스와 매끄럽게 이어지는 1.78인치 LTPO3 OLED 디스플레이를 탑재하고 있습니다.
케이스 크기가 더 커졌음에도 불구하고 HUAWEI WATCH 는 Apple 워치가 9.7 mm 두께인 반면, 9.4 mm 로 오히려 더 얇아졌습니다. 두 시계 모두 상대적으로 가벼워 각각 32g과 30g의 무게를 자랑합니다.
두 모델 모두 5 ATM 방수 등급을 받았지만, HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro 는 40 미터 자유 수중 다이빙을 지원합니다. 또한 보호 측면에서 HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro 의 디스플레이는 상단에 사파이어 글라스가 적용되어 스크래치에 더 강합니다.
Apple 워치 시리즈 10은 소위 "이온-X 글래스"로 인해 어느 정도의 스크래치 저항성을 갖추고 있지만, HUAWEI WATCH의 사파이어 글래스만큼 강력하지는 않습니다.
디스플레이 부문에서 Apple 워치는 여전히 상대적으로 밝아 최대 2000 니트의 피크 밝기를 자랑합니다. 그러나 혹독한 햇빛 아래에서는 HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro 가 최대 3000 니트의 피크 밝기로 더 나은 시인성을 제공하여 야외에서 더욱 사용자 친화적입니다.
건강 기능
이제 디자인 측면은 그만하고, 이 스마트워치의 핵심 이점인 건강 및 피트니스 추적에 대해 이야기해 보겠습니다.
HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro와 Apple 시리즈 10 모두 심박수 모니터링, 수면 추적, 활동 추적 및 스트레스 모니터링을 포함한 필수 기능을 갖추고 있습니다.
ECG 또는 PPG 기반의 심박 모니터링은 심박수, 맥파 부정맥, 동맥 경직도, SpO2 수치 및 피부 온도를 자동으로 추적합니다.
언급할 만한 점은 HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro가 심방세동, 심실 조기 수축 및 심방 조기 수축의 위험을 감지할 수 있는 ECG 분석 기능을 제공한다는 것입니다.
For example, the emotional wellbeing on the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro measures my emotions and stress levels automatically and notifies me periodically about my emotional state.
With this feature, you’d get recommendations to help manage negative emotions, including guided breathing exercises and meditation, available directly on the watch.
On the Apple Watch, there’s a "Mindfulness" app where I need to manually log their current state of mind, which can be more of a hassle and counter-intuitive in my opinion.
Both watches offer sleep tracking, but I appreciate the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro’s approach more in this regard. In addition to tracking my sleep cycles, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro also monitors my respiratory rate or breathing. Essentially, it includes sleep apnea detection, requiring just one night to record and analyze your breathing conditions while you sleep.
The HUAWEI WATCH even provides a sleep score and offers recommendations for improving your sleep quality.
In contrast, the Apple Watch takes up to 10 days to detect abnormalities in my breathing while sleeping. In fact, as of writing the script for this video, the Apple Watch still needs four more nights to assess my overnight vitals.
On top of all these health metrics, both watches also track daily activities such as how many steps I’ve taken for the day, how often I stood up, and they even give a regular reminder to stand if I’ve been sitting for too long.
Of course, these watches can also track exercises, which we’ll talk about next.
Fitness Tracking
As expected, both the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro and the Apple Watch Series 10 come with exercise tracking from outdoor walk, run, and cycling to all kinds of sports and activities you could think of.
The HUAWEI WATCH itself contains over a hundred sports modes such as Golf mode which is exclusively available on this watch. It supports over 15,000 golf courses globally, with 111 of these courses located within the Philippines.
Meanwhile, the Apple Watch offers over 80 workout modes which is still decent.
One notable addition to the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro is its enhanced water sport tracking. It’s the first-ever model to get this feature which is made possible by a new depth sensor that measures elevation, and dual-band GPS for more accurate location tracking.
And thanks to Huawei’s so-called Sunflower System, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro offers better trajectory, distance, and pace tracking compared to the Apple Watch Series 10, which outperforms single-band GPS in terms of precision and reliability.
The watch also provides route tracking for outdoor runs or walks, which I was able to turn into a dynamic video for easy sharing to social media. There are also preset routes available in certain areas of Manila, Cebu, and Davao.
These features are similar to Strava which has been gaining a lot of traction lately. But the best is you don’t need a paid subscription to do so, as it’s available within the HUAWEI Health app itself. Neat!
But if you’ve been a Strava user, I’m glad to report that the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro is also compatible with it and can sync your watch data over to Strava. So, there’s no need to build your fitness data all over again.
Compatibility and User Experience
Compatibility
Speaking of compatibility, as you would’ve already guessed, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro is compatible with every smartphone out there, Android or iOS alike, offering wider compatibility.
All I needed to do was to install the HUAWEI Health app, and it worked like a charm on my non-Huawei device. This gives it a clear advantage, especially considering the Apple Watch Series 10 is limited to iPhone users only.
Watch and app usage
My experience was solid for both watches. Yeah, I’d give the smooth animations and sleek visuals to the Apple Watch, but I dig the more comprehensive and helpful health insights from the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro.
Case in point, the HUAWEI WATCH can provide a daily summary of my health metrics with brief descriptions that are easier to understand.
As for the Apple Watch, it does have a dedicated Summary page, but it looks like it’s giving me an information overload as I scroll through my health metrics. Thankfully, you can pin your most important health metrics to the top of the page, but that’s about it.
Notably, there’s this HUAWEI Health+ that goes beyond just health and fitness tracking. As the name implies, it’s a paid subscription containing premium content such as VIP video courses for staying fit and healthy.
If you want to improve your core, there are lots of exercises to see here such as Standing and Lying Flat Stomach, both of which can be done in under 10 minutes, without the need of any equipment.
HUAWEI Health also introduces Health Community where users can pay more attention to their loved ones by being able to cross share health data.
This lets the user receive important health reminders for their friends and family who are members of the Health community. Notably, the Apple Watch also has a similar Health Sharing feature.
Other nifty features
Now, let’s talk about other convenient features that both watches have.
Both give easy control for media players and Spotify with no third-party apps needed. Both also have the ability to do smart and customized replies for message notifications, and both with virtual keyboard and voice-to-text functionality for convenience.
However, such voice-to-text feature for the HUAWEI WATCH is limited to EMUI devices only. The watch has its own microphone, so I can't quite see the reason why Huawei would limit this feature to their own smartphones. It kind of defeats the purpose of being "compatible" to all devices methinks.
On the software side though, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro has more features up its sleeve. You can save access cards to open NFC-enabled doors via HUAWEI Wallet which is found inside the HUAWEI Health app.
A really nifty feature is the ability to do a cashless payment via QR code thanks to the new GCash Tap to Pay feature. Simply link you GCash account and the watch generates unique QR codes regularly.
For more personalization, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro also offers a large catalog of watch faces, unlike the Apple Watch here that has limited options, and not to mention, the HUAWEI Health app even has a watch faces store (albeit the really good watch faces come with a small price).
I do like the more fluid and dynamic watch faces on the Apple Watch, perhaps making the device look more alive than Huawei's.
Lastly, you can send over screenshots directly from the HUAWEI WATCH through your phone by just pressing both the digital crown and the side button.
Battery Life
Now, one of the most important aspects in this comparison is the battery life, and to my surprise, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro significantly lasted longer in my experience.
During my use, the HUAWEI WATCH is still going after five days on a single charge, from 100% to 38%. That usage included doing outdoor walks with the GPS tracking enabled and daily activities, health monitoring, and sleep tracking all turned on.
As advertised, it could even go up to 10 days of runtime at minimal usage.
On the other hand, the Apple Watch Series 10 lasted me for less than 24 hours. It could go on for longer on low power mode, but I’d rather get all the health and fitness tracking features up and running throughout my use. So, that’s a bit of a bummer.
Charging it won’t take long though as it can reach 80% of battery in under 30 minutes via a magnetic wireless charging and fully charge by 60 minutes.
The same goes for the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro, and mind you, this is the first HUAWEI WATCH FIT Series model to get magnetic wireless charging. And it only took less than an hour to fully charge the smart watch.
Verdict
After comparing the two, it’s clear that the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro stands strong against the Apple Watch Series 10. It offers all the essential health and fitness tracking features you’d expect, along with the convenience and versatility of a modern smartwatch.
Packed with everything you need at a fraction of the cost, this watch is truly THE smarter choice.
Indeed, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro is the thinnest, lightest, all-around smartwatch with Pro-level sports and health tracking. And with its unbeatable price-to-performance ratio, you're getting far more value for your money compared to the competition.
Wrapping this up, let’s answer the question, who is the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro for? Well, it’s in the name, HUAWEI WATCH FIT for (4) Pros! Athletes can definitely make use of this watch for their intensive training as it offers comprehensive and accurate health data.
But it’s not just for athletes, university students, those into fashion, and fitness enthusiasts alike will appreciate the style and functionality the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro brings to the table.
Whether you're into sports or just need a smartwatch for everyday use, this one delivers for all types of users.
As of writing, there’s no official price yet for the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro, but the brand does promise a more competitive pricing. Stay tuned for official news about its availability and pricing info.
