A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

Many complained about the smart alarm clock, like it's not smart. For me it works well. For example, there is an alarm clock at 9 am + a smart interval of 30 minutes, but the clock does not wake me up at 8:30, as many have complained, namely that in the interval where I will have a faster and easier awakening, or at 9:00, if no such interval was found (it could be 8:40 or 8:47, etc.).
Only 1 smart alarm can be enabled. I don’t know how necessary it is, so I didn’t write in the shortcomings.

In these hours, I swam in the lake, washed under the tap, went to the mountains, rode a bicycle. By the way, when we went to the mountains, on the passes, the watch thought that I was rowing (my wife has a Samsung watch, so they thought that she was on a bicycle).
We recently added auto-detection of some activities (only walking works for me so far, since I haven’t done anything else). This is implemented as follows: after 10 minutes of something, the watch offers to turn on the workout. It would be nice if they turned it on themselves, like Samsung, but maybe in the future it will.

They say that functions are limited for 2022 (no cloud, no medals, few dials), so I installed Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) separately, created an account in France - and I have all this, so what is there and how is it for 2022 - I don't know.

To get sleep in SHealth you need
1. Install Google Fit
2. Pair Huawei Health and Google Fit
3. Put Health Sync
4. Set up data collection via Sync from Fit to SHealth
5. You can only send data manually from Health
﻿

Pros

- 7-10 days without charging (depending on usage scenarios) - fast charging from 10% to 100% (approximately 60-75 minutes) - beautiful, stylish look on the hand - you can download watch faces, of which there are many in the store - steps are measured very accurately - 2 straps included: silicone, like a sport, and steel, like a business - indestructible glass (many times I met the wall with the dial, the puppy constantly bites with its sharp teeth - not a single scratch) - a smart alarm clock that wakes up at the interval set in the settings (maximum 30 minutes from the alarm time) - a beautiful workout map, if you start a workout: route, stress, pulse, can be exported

Cons

There were a couple of times that counted daytime naps when I was awake. But for such a long period, a couple of times is nothing. Since I have a Samsung phone and before that the watch was from Samsung, I'm used to SHealth, and with this watch it's not so easy to get data in SHealth (and even then, Samsung has now disabled the ability to download steps, so the competition is all in the forest). There is no full integration with the phone (on my Samsung watch, the alarm clock worked when I turned it on on the phone, it was also enough to turn on the sleep mode only on the phone to forget about notifications - this is not the case here). Smart Alarm can only be enabled in the Huawei Health app.
