It's worth starting with the fact that Huawei Fit looks like a smart watch, but in fact it is not. This is quite a familiar fitness tracker packed in a round case. Huawei Fit monitors physical activity, warns about incoming calls and messages, analyzes sleep, and also measures heart rate. So what's the trick? The main advantages are long-term operation without recharging and moisture resistance.
Huawei Fit is equipped with an 80 mAh battery, which is enough for six days of normal use and a whole month in standby mode thanks to a black-and-white LCD touchscreen with the ability to remember. Its size is 1.04 inches. The device is marked IP68, that is, it can be immersed to a depth of up to 50 meters.
The design of Huawei Fit repeats many other 39.5mm watches. The case of the gadget is made of aluminum. Silicone straps measuring 18 and 20 millimeters are made in black, blue and orange colors. They can be replaced with a metallic version with a gray or titanium shade.
By the way, synchronization with the phone significantly expands the capabilities of the fitness tracker. So, with the help of a mobile application, you can set goals and monitor the effectiveness of training. In real time, the tracker will tell you about the most up-to-date information, for example, about the value of VO2 Max.
It should be noted that Huawei Fit pays special attention to running. Chinese engineers have worked closely with Firstbeat and developed several training series that will help users run their first 5 or 10 kilometers, a half marathon or a marathon. It is noteworthy that the smart assistant adjusts the pace right while running. Competitors usually ask for money for such tips.
The heart rate sensor is unremarkable. It automatically takes readings during exercises and displays the value on the smartphone screen. At the same time, you can set periodic measurements throughout the day or more frequent for a couple of hours.
The pulse zones have not gone anywhere: warm-up, fat-burning, aerobic, anaerobic, maximum load. Vibration will make it clear that it's time to stop or slow down. Moreover, over time, the gadget will study the heart rate of its owner and will begin to assess the current state of health.
Again, Huawei Fit has only primitive functions of a smartwatch. For example, by connecting the phone via Bluetooth, you can reject a call or see an incoming message, but no more. It won't work to upload songs either, since the size of the device's internal memory is only 16 MB.
Huawei Fit is sold on American online platforms for $ 130.
