Huawei’s Watch Fit 5 Pro is officially global, and costs £250. The watch comes in orange, white and black colors. In the box, you’ll get the watch, a nice orange fabric strap (in our case), and the universal wireless charging puck (though sadly that still ends up at a USB-A port).
The design of the lineup is very similar to Apple’s Watch and Watch Ultra, but this year we’re starting to see more differences. The front no longer has a flat glass surface like the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro, and instead, the glass has a noticeable 2.5D curve. It’s still a sapphire crystal glass, so you don’t have to worry about scratches.
The new Huawei Watch Fit 5 Pro is slightly larger than the 4 Pro, and this may be noticeable to those who wore the previous model for long periods of time. Weight-wise, they’re similar, which is impressive considering the new model also has a larger battery.
Compared to Watch Fit 4 Pro
While the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro already had a solid 400mAh battery, the Watch Fit 5 Pro has a 12% larger 471mAh power pack, which is a higher-silicon stacked battery. Huawei claims 7 days of normal usage and 10 days of light usage.
Our model is orange, and has orange accents on the front. The cover is matte and has a light golden color. A special wear-resistant coating is applied to the surface of the white model. Huawei claims that it improves scratch resistance by 15%, surface hardness by 130% and wear resistance by 100%.
Health-wise, the Huawei Watch 5 Pro has added arterial stiffness detection to ECG and atrial fibrillation tracking. It also includes tracking of basic heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO2), skin temperature and stress.
Sleep tracking has been improved with a new, more accurate algorithm and nap detection.
