Starting a workout in the Huawei Health app

1. Double-check that your wearable device is linked with Huawei Health, and wear your device snugly on your wrist.

   Then in Huawei Health, for example, go to Exercise > Outdoor run and touch the running icon to start your run.

2. Controls via Huawei Health during workouts: Touch to pause the workout, touch to resume, or touch and hold to end the workout. Your wearable device will pause, resume, or end the workout accordingly.

 

• During a workout, data such as the workout duration and distance will display both in the Huawei Health app and on your wearable screen.
• If the workout distance or duration is too short, the record won't be saved.
• After a workout ends, you can view your workout data (collected from both your phone and wearable device) in the Huawei Health app. Such data will not be displayed on your wearable device.

Workout settings

On your wearable device, touch the Settings icon to the right of a workout mode to set Goal, Reminders, Auto-pause, Interval training, Smart Companion, and Data display. You can also choose to Remove the workout. (Available options may vary by device model and workout mode. If there's no such icon, it indicates that such settings are unavailable on your device.)

• Audio reminders

  Touch Reminders and set Interval by Distance or by Time. You can also toggle the switch for Heart rate on or off.

  

  Audio reminders are currently available in certain languages only, such as Italian and German. To use this feature, first update your wearable device to the latest version, reconnect it to your phone, and then download the required language package as prompted by your phone. Please note that the download may take a long while if you're using an iPhone.

• Mistouch prevention

  Touch Mistouch prevention and toggle the switches for Auto-lock Crown and Auto-lock screen on or off.

• Auto-pause

  Toggle on the switch for Auto-pause to have your wearable device automatically pause the workout when it detects that you have stopped, and resume the workout when you start again. Toggle off the switch if you don't need it.

• Interval training

  Interval training is a form of exercise during which high-intensity training and rest are performed alternately. It's a highly effective way of boosting your cardiopulmonary fitness and muscle strength, as well as improving your workout performance. Some workout modes (such as running and cycling) on your wearable device support interval training. To start such a session, touch the Settings icon to the right of a workout mode, touch Interval training, and set the parameters suited to your needs.
