Controlling music playback on your HUAWEI watch
 
  • Music syncing to watch is unavailable when your watch is paired with an iPhone. If your watch has not been restored to its factory settings, it is recommended that you connect your watch to an Android phone first for music transfer, and then link your watch with an iPhone for music playback controls (provided that the same HUAWEI ID is used to log in to the Huawei Health app on all of the used phones).
  • When your watch is connected to an iPhone, you won't be able to play on your watch the songs available to HUAWEI Music members only that have been synced to your watch using an Android or HarmonyOS phone.
  • To use this feature, make sure that your watch is properly linked with Huawei Health.

Controlling phone music playback

There's no need to set the Control phone music switch in Huawei Health if you're using an iPhone.

  • On your phone, open Huawei Health, navigate to the device details screen, touch Music, and toggle on Control phone music.
  • Open a phone music app and start the playback.
  • On your watch, swipe right on the home screen to enter the HUAWEI Assistant·TODAY screen, and touch the Music card. From there you can pause playback, switch between tracks, and adjust the volume. (If the Music card is nowhere to be found, it indicates that this feature is not supported on your watch.)

Syncing music to your watch

  1. Open Huawei Health and navigate to the device details screen.
  2. Go to Music > Manage music > Add songs, and select songs to be synced.
     
    • If there is no Music card on the device details screen, it indicates that this feature is not supported on your watch.
    • Non-encrypted music files that are supported by your watch and have been downloaded on your phone, can be synced to your watch via Huawei Health, and can be played even without Internet access.
    • Refer to Unable to sync to my watch the songs that have been downloaded on my phone if applicable.

  3. When you're done, touch in the upper right corner of the screen.
  4. Access the music management screen, touch New playlist, create a name for the playlist, and add songs to suit your desires. You can also categorize tracks that have been uploaded to your watch for easier management. You can update an existing playlist at any time by touching in the upper right corner of the playlist screen and then Add songs.

 
  • To delete an added song, enter Huawei Health, navigate to the device details screen, go to Music > Manage music, find the target song in the list, touch the icon next to it, and then touch Delete.
  • The synchronization of certain songs requires the Premium PLUS membership of HUAWEI Music.
