The case measures 45.9 x 45.9 mm with a thickness of 10.5 mm and a total volume of 22.121505 cm³, keeping the overall weight at a light 44 g. Built for water exposure, it carries a 5 ATM waterproof rating with a depth tolerance of 50 m. The watch band is replaceable, though the display does not feature branded damage-resistant glass or sapphire glass protection, and the device is not intended for use by children.

The Honor Watch GS 4 includes a solid range of onboard sensors, covering a heart rate monitor, a pulse oximeter for blood oxygenation tracking, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a compass, and a barometer, alongside built-in GPS for location and route data. It does not include a body temperature sensor, a cadence sensor, or a perspiration monitor.

The Honor Watch GS 4 covers a broad set of everyday activity tracking needs, including steps, distance, pace, elevation, and route logging, while also offering automatic activity detection and exercise tagging for hands-free workout recognition. Sleep tracking is supported along with detailed sleep reports, and calorie intake can also be logged directly. On the other hand, the watch does not include a multi-sport mode, a swim stroke counter, and is not designed for diving or golf.

The Honor Watch GS 4 connects to smartphones via Bluetooth 5 and is compatible with both iOS and Android devices. It also supports Galileo satellite navigation alongside its onboard GPS. The watch does not include a cellular module, Wi-Fi, NFC, or ANT+ support.

The Honor Watch GS 4 is equipped with a 451 mAh rechargeable battery rated for up to 14 days of use on a single charge, and it supports wireless charging for cable-free top-ups. The battery is not removable, and the watch does not incorporate solar charging.

The Honor Watch GS 4 measures resting heart rate and delivers fast/slow heart rate notifications, though it does not offer HRV tracking, irregular heart rate warnings, ECG, or a readiness and recovery score. On the convenience side, it supports wrist notifications, call control, voice commands, a silent alarm, vibrating alerts, a stopwatch, and a phone-finding function, while a built-in camera remote shutter adds a handy extra. It does not include a smart alarm or fall detection, and there is no front camera on the watch itself. Under the hood, the device carries 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage, and it does not feature fast GPS lock acquisition. A one-year warranty is included, and the watch lacks a fast GPS lock capability.

The companion app for the Honor Watch GS 4 is free and ad-free, and an account is required to use it. It covers a solid range of health and fitness management tools, including activity reports, calorie burn tracking, water intake, weight tracking, an exercise diary, goal setting, inactivity alerts, and achievements, while also supporting widgets and app personalisation. Coaching, temperature tracking, route support, calendar sync, and email export are not available, and the app does not include a barcode scanner.

The Honor Watch GS 4 includes a battery level indicator so remaining charge is always visible at a glance. Beyond that, the miscellaneous feature set is notably limited: the watch does not support a passcode, auto-pause during workouts, or connection to external heart rate monitors, and there is no external memory slot or 3.5 mm audio jack. The companion software is not available on PC and is not compatible with Windows or Mac OS X.
