Huawei manufactures and sells a good range of smartphones, smartwatches, and smart fitness trackers including the Watch GT2e and more devices manufactured under the sub-brand Honor. However, in recent times there was a change in how to connect these wearables to your smartphone and this made the prospect of owning and using these devices a little less appealing.

The process was rather simple before with a streamlined flow, the current process requires the users to download as many as three apps on the Android phone and the worst part is that not all of these apps are available on the Google Play Store.
This small change certainly does make other companies and their offerings more tempting for many users as people are generally looking for extreme convenience while buying these wearables and these additional steps do add to the discomfort and length of the setup process.
If you already own a Huawei smartwatch or fitness tracker and intend to use it for the near future, then you are forced to go through this tedious process for setup.

How to Connect Huawei Smartwatch or Fitness Tracker to Smartphone
The first step involves that you have the wearable and phone in hand, head to the Google Play Store on the smartphone, and download the Huawei Health app. While most fitness trackers and smartwatches just require one client app on the smartphone, this is just the beginning of the ordeal if you are dealing with a Huawei smartwatch.
- Once you have the Huawei Health app installed you will need to download Huawei Mobile Services for it to work, you can luckily find this app on the Google Play Store. Unfortunately, this variant of the Huawei Mobile Services doesn’t work completely well and the only reasonable way to get it to work is by downloading a third app on your smartphone
- This third app is the Huawei AppGallery and this application is not available on the Google Play Store. This app is essentially a replacement for the Google Play Store on their smartphones given the Huawei ban restricts the company from using Google Play Store on their smartphones. You will need this app to download other apps on a Huawei smartphone and this app will also be needed to connect your smartwatch or fitness tracker from Huawei.
