Huawei has recently launched its latest smartwatch line-up, with the Watch 5 and Watch Fit 4 series, and you may be considering whether to invest.
As Huawei smartwatches run on the Android operating system, it can be unclear whether the devices are compatible with iOS. If you’re an iPhone user and debating purchasing a Huawei smartwatch then you’ve come to the right place.
Before you make the purchase, we explain whether it is possible to pair a Huawei watch with an iPhone, and how this works. We also explain whether it’s possible to pair an Apple Watch with a Huawei phone too.
Remember, although Huawei smartwatches run on Android OS, they don’t offer access to the Google Play Store or some Google apps, making them different to the likes of Fitbit and Apple Watch. If you want something more versatile then make sure you visit our best smartwatch list.
Can a Huawei watch work with an iPhone?
Put simply, yes, Huawei watches work with any model of iPhone running iOS 13 or newer. Considering we’re on iOS 18 now, we’d recommend updating your software to the latest possible.
While pairing a Huawei watch with an iPhone isn’t quite as seamless as pairing an Apple Watch, it really isn’t too difficult and should take a matter of minutes to get yourself set up.
How to pair a Huawei watch with an iPhone
To begin, you’ll need to download the Huawei Health app on your iPhone and then log in with your Huawei ID. From here, ensure your Huawei watch is switched on and within range of your iPhone and tap Add device on the Huawei Health app. Your smartwatch should then appear on screen, ready to be paired with your iPhone.
Can I use Huawei Health on my iPhone?
Yes, Huawei Health is available on both iOS and Android phones, including the best iPhones and best Android smartphones.
Huawei Health is a health and fitness app that allows users to track their workouts recorded on their accompanying Huawei smartwatch and keep an eye on their health data too.
Can Apple Watch pair with Huawei?
If you’re sporting one of the best Apple Watches and are tempted to pair it with a Huawei smartphone, then unfortunately we have bad news. Apple Watches are designed only to pair with iPhones, so you won’t be able to pair them with a Huawei smartphone.
While there are workarounds to this, and it is technically possible to connect your Apple Watch to an Android smartphone via Bluetooth, some of its features simply will not work.
