Reading duration: Approximately 8 minutes
Over the years I have tested many devices. Today I will share my experience with the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro , which has quickly become an essential part of my gear. As cyclists, we care about certain parameters during training or tours. These are key to improving our performance and maintaining our health.
Elisa Scarlatta
My name is Elisa Scarlatta. I'm based in Biella, a small town in Northern Italy surrounded by hills and mountains: the perfect setting for a cyclist. I mainly ride on the road, but I also enjoy taking my mountain bike out from time to time, especially when I want to disconnect and spend time in nature. Cycling has always been part of my life, not just in a competitive sense, but as something that grounds me, keeps me active, and brings me together with others.

1.How to Choose the Right Smartwatch for Cycling
Below are the most important features every cyclist should look for in a smartwatch. The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro has them all.

Accurate GPS is crucial for navigation, especially when exploring unfamiliar roads. With the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro, you can view offline maps, download your route in advance and follow guided directions with ease. The watch is compatible with popular cycling apps like Komoot and Strava. GPS also allows you to track your speed with precision.
b) Heart Rate Monitoring
Real-time heart rate monitoring helps you stay in control of your heart rate during workouts. This data is vital for optimizing performance and keeping an eye on your health. I love being able to check my stats during climbs and compare them with my fellow cyclists. It is a great conversation starter and a helpful tool in training.
c) Water Resistance
Weather conditions can change quickly. What starts as a sunny ride may end in a rain shower. With the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro, you do not have to worry. It is water resistant and continues to operate reliably even in wet conditions. All your ride data will be recorded without interruption.

e) Lightweight and Comfortable
Cycling can be physically demanding, and it is important to wear gear that feels light and comfortable. At only 32 grams, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro is one of the lightest smartwatches I ever had. Its elegant and minimalist design, combined with a soft silicone strap, makes it ideal for long rides.
f) Wide Compatibility
The smartwatch works, according to the manufacturer, with both iOS and Android and integrates seamlessly with fitness platforms such as Komoot and Strava. Through the HUAWEI Health App , I created personalized training plans and monitor my progress with ease. As an iOS user, I didn't experience any connection issues at all during the past few weeks. Everything ran smoothly.
g) Smart Notifications and Calling
During rides, I stay connected to my friends and family through the watch. I receive notifications and calls directly on the smartwatch, without needing to stop and check my phone. The audio quality is good, even in windy conditions. This feature is not only convenient, it also adds a layer of safety because I don't need to take my phone out of my pocket to see who's calling.
h) Training and Recovery Insights
The HUAWEI Health App doesn't just help you track your performance; it also keeps an eye on your recovery. I've been using the cycling and fitness training plans regularly, and the detailed sleep monitoring has been surprisingly insightful, especially the way it detects breathing interruptions. From my experience, quality rest is key to making progress, and this smartwatch has really helped me understand and improve both my training and how well I recover.

2.Is It Just for Amateurs?
Definitely not. I've seen professional cyclists use smartwatches like the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro to keep an eye on everything from speed and distance to calorie burn and heart rate, whether they are out on the road or training indoors on rollers during the winter. One feature I've really come to appreciate is the built-in Sunflower GPS. It provides reliable navigation with colourful offline maps and strong satellite connection, even in remote areas. And with up to 3000 nits of display brightness, I've had no issues seeing the screen, whether it's early morning shade or blazing midday sun.

3.Smart Tools That Support My Ride
One of the features I've found genuinely helpful is VO₂ Max tracking. It gives athletes a clear picture of how my endurance is evolving. This metric shows how much oxygen your body can use during intense activity. The higher your VO₂ Max, the better your endurance and ability to maintain high speeds over time. It is an excellent indicator for anyone looking to improve performance.
The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro also includes cycle tracking and an ovulation calendar. As a female athlete, I've learned how important it is to listen to my body – and tools like this make it easier to adjust my training to how I feel during different phases of the cycle.
4.Do I Still Need a Cyclocomputer?
Cyclocomputers are great, but limited to the bike. The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro offers the same core features, plus much more. You can wear it all day at work, in the gym or while running errands. It is a 24/7 device that supports your entire lifestyle.
5.Pro Tip: Pair It with the FreeBuds 6
To enjoy the full experience, I recommend pairing the smartwatch with the HUAWEI FreeBuds 6 . I've been using them on my rides and they're surprisingly light and compact. One day I realized I had forgotten to charge them, five minutes later, they were ready to go. The sound is clear and stable, even when I'm riding fast or there's wind, and they're small enough to slip into any jersey pocket without noticing.
Conclusion
If you are a cyclist or just starting your journey on two wheels, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro is a great companion. For me it brings together everything I need in one device. It offers performance tracking, health monitoring, smart connectivity and a sense of safety on the road. It is lightweight, easy to use and has become a natural part of my training routine.
Of course, it does not belong on the race track. But for everything before and everything after, from structured training, recovery and daily use, it fits in perfectly.
