Huawei’s Watch Fit series has recently entered its fifth generation. The Watch Fit 5 and Watch Fit 5 Pro were announced at Huawei’s big launch event today, which also saw the debut of the Pura X Max foldable, Pura 90 Pro series, as well as the Watch Buds 2 and Watch Ultimate Star Diamond Edition.
Both members of the Fit 5 Watch bring familiar-looking designs, although the Fit 5 Pro has thinner bezels, allowing Huawei to fit a larger 1.92-inch AMOLED touchscreen this time. The Pro features 2.5D sapphire glass and 3,000 nits peak local brightness.
The non-Pro Fit 5 gets a 1.82-inch AMOLED with 2,500 nits brightness. Both versions still support the Always-On Display (AOD) watch face and come with two buttons – a digital crown and a shortcut button, both located on the right side.

Both watches have aluminum midframes, but the Watch Fit 5 Pro also has a sleek titanium bezel.
The Watch Fit 5th generation also gets an updated 6 LED and 6 PPG optical heart rate module as well as a temperature sensor, although the Pro variant adds ECG and depth sensing capabilities. Both watches are rated at 5 ATM, so you can take them swimming, but only the Pro model is certified for freediving to a depth of 40 meters.
In terms of activity tracking, you get the usual mix of sports modes along with an updated cycling mode, which feels similar to the one offered on the Watch GT 6 Pro. You also get dual-band GNSS positioning on both versions sold in China, which feature NFC and Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity. Hopefully, all three will be carried over to global models.
You still get an onboard microphone and speaker, and Huawei has also added a recorder so you can record meetings or thoughts from your wrist.
In terms of battery endurance, Huawei claims you can expect a full week (7 days) with normal usage or up to 10 days with light workflow. In AOD mode you should have 4 days for each. Charging is done via a proprietary magnetic puck charger.
