I am looking to switch over to XA2 as my primary phone. Can I able to connect to Honor band 4 via the Huawei Health app so that I can view the stats in the app?

In short, no.

Android apps do not have bluetooth "access" on sailfish. On the native wearable side there is an app by piggz that connects to amazfit bip wristbands. Also pebbles still work with Rockpool. AsteroidOS is waiting for Jolla to solve a BTLE issue so asteroidOS watches can have a working client.

For the Honor band to be usable, someone would need to code a native app accordingly. Or Jolla could look into BT Android support. But as of now, it is not possible.

What BTLE issue there is that AsteroidOS waits to resolve? Doesn't amazfish already use BTLE?

Tried to look it up exactly but it is not in the issues to the client app sadly. https://github.com/AsteroidOS/starfish It was discussed on IRC mainly. AFAIR AsteroidOS would need authentication over BTLE where amazfish/amazfits do not.
