HarmonyOS 6.1 global update has now reached the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro with many new customizations and UI changes. The company also improved certain existing functionalities of the wearable, making them easier to use and more convenient.
Watch Fit 4 Pro debuted last year in May. It is the first “Pro” variant in the Watch FIT series’ history with a bold look and more fascinating features than the vanilla version.
In the past few weeks, Huawei has released the HarmonyOS 6.1 smartwatch upgrade to many global models. Watch 5, Ultimate 2, and GT 6 series have already gained new capabilities. Now it’s time for the Watch Fit 4 Pro users to get the new update.
The company is rolling out the HarmonyOS 6.1 global update for the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro with the 6.1.0.117 SP20 version. The firmware brings several custom features for the UI, enhancing the home screen and lock screen interaction.
Huawei has added new watch faces like Sweet companions, Bubble Aura, Nap Summary, and a Recorder app. Users can also customize ringtones for calls and mute incoming calls through the cover screen.
