Speaking of sleep, this little beauty has shown me that I might not be getting as much quality shut-eye as I thought. It breaks down your sleep into different stages and gives you a score. I have become a teensy bit obsessed with bumping up that score night after night. What can I say, I’m competitive!

The first thing I do when I wake up is check my sleep score. The watch tracks and provides all the data on my nightly snooze. This data can be checked on the watch when I wake up but I also like to open the Huawei Health app which gives a more detailed analysis of my sleep stages, as well as comparing it to other users on the app. This analysis shows how long I spent in light, deep, and REM sleep stages – along with a sleep score that rates the overall quality of my rest. It also tells me how many times in the night I have woken up. Often times, we don’t even realise when this happens, and it affects us more than we think it does, as it presents itself in ways such as lack of emotional control and coordination. This sleep analysis greatly helps me understand if I’m getting enough restorative sleep, which is crucial for recovery and overall well-being.

Sleep is especially important for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. As we work out and push our bodies to be stronger, the tissues in our body undergo wear and tear. Sleep plays an integral role in repairing our muscles in the night when we rest, therefore making us less likely to be injured when using those muscles again. Not only do we become wearier when we sleep less, we also have slower reaction times and decreased accuracy.

Now, let's talk about fitness tracking, the feature most people are interested in when buying a smartwatch. As a former rugby player, staying active is in my blood. This watch counts my steps, monitors my workouts, and even calculates the calories I've burned. It's like having a full body check without the awkward paper gown and cold stethoscope!

I do a lot of different workouts and have many ways of keeping my fitness up. I love walking and weightlifting whereas running and I aren’t the best of friends. But no matter what type of workout I go for that day, I use the detailed analysis from my HUAWEI WATCH 4 Pro Space Edition to make sure I’m hitting my goals. The metrics are really great for tracking my progress and making adjustments to my training routine. They also allow me the peace of mind to keep pushing my limits safely. I also like to make sure that I’m not overextending myself and risking any injuries, and the watch keeps me in check so that I am pushing myself in a consistent and healthy manner.

One feature that's really impressed me is the stress monitor. It uses some clever tech to measure your stress levels throughout the day. Trust me, when you're juggling a business, public speaking, and trying to maintain some semblance of a social life, keeping an eye on your stress is crucial. It's all part of that overall wellness package, isn't it?

Just last week, I noticed I was feeling a bit off. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but something didn’t feel right. I immediately checked my HUAWEI WATCH 4 Pro Space Edition and saw that my stress indicators had been creeping up. The watch’s stress monitoring feature had labeled my stress level as higher than usual, making me realise that, yes, I did feel more stressed than I had the previous week.

Seeing this data right in front of me was a wake-up call. I decided to take action and did a session of yoga, which I’ve recently gotten into. The change was immediate! After my yoga session, I felt calmer, more centered, and focused. I checked my watch again and was pleased to see that my heart rate had lowered, confirming that the yoga session had helped me relax a bit.

This experience highlighted how invaluable the stress monitor can be. It not only made me aware of my rising stress levels but also guided me toward taking action to manage my stress. It’s these kinds of real-time insights that make the HUAWEI WATCH 4 Pro Space Edition an essential tool for anyone serious about their health and well-being.

Oh, and for those of you watching your figure (no judgment here, we've all been there), this Huawei watch can help you keep track of your BMI and maintain a healthy weight. It's not about looking like a superhero, it's about feeling good in your own skin.

When our clients start with us, the first thing we ask them to do is to increase their daily step count. This is the first step (pun intended!) towards improving their BMI and overall health. I love the step counter on the Huawei watch, it’s very intuitive and easy to read the data! From here, my clients can even try out a customized plan for more efficient weight loss that includes targeted exercise and weekly reports. This makes it much easier for clients who I don’t see in person so often, or manage remotely. The weekly reports give a more detailed analysis to improve efficiency in the weight loss plan.
