Huawei Watch GT 4 gets new health features in beta update

A new beta update is bringing more health-related features to the Huawei Watch GT 4 in China. Software version 4.2.0.521(C00M07) is a HarmonyOS 4.2 release, 322 MB in size. The change log only states that users can expect a “trendy interface style” with smoother animations and improved effects.

However, Weibo user @看山的叔叔 reported several new health measuring tools, such as fat loss, body shape and health trend analysis. There also appears to be a National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) approved heart rate arrhythmia detection tool and a wrist-based running form tool. Plus, there is a new menstrual cycle tracking calendar with a monthly view.

On top of this, the 46mm or standard variant of the Watch GT 4 is said to have the new Huawei Sunflower Positioning System, as seen on the Watch GT 5, which launched in Europe in September. It remains to be seen when a stable update containing these new health features will be released to customers in China. It is also unclear when these new features will reach global users of the Huawei Watch GT 4 (curr. €194.99 at Amazon).
