      Introduction & Recommendation


      Huawei smartwatches are popular and have many features, but integration with third-party apps - including Move Republic - can be limited (mainly due to political restrictions between the US and China). Since we cannot connect directly to Huawei Health, we use a "data bridge" at the system level.

      On Android → this bridge is Health Sync

      On iOS → it is Apple Health

      Our recommendation if you are an Android user with a Huawei watch


      ➡️ We recommend using the Move Republic pedometer on your phone to track steps and Strava to track cycling.

      Why?

      • Both options are free (Health Sync is chargeable!)
      • They work more reliably and require fewer apps
      • We can help you set them up directly
      • You avoid additional steps and paid intermediaries
