Third-party reviews

What we like about Huawei Watch Fit 5

  • Weighs 27 g, so it is easy to forget on the wrist.
  • The screen reaches 2500 nits and stays readable in direct sun.
  • A pulse wave check looks for signs of atrial fibrillation without an ECG sensor.
  • Over 100 sport modes cover running, swimming, yoga and more.
  • Wireless charging means no cable to fiddle with at night.
  • Fall detection and offline maps suit hikers.

What we don't like about Huawei Watch Fit 5

  • Battery lasts about 7 days in tests, short of the claimed 10.
  • The watch has no app store of its own.
  • iPhone users lose out on wallet, message replies and some health features.
  • Golf, pickleball and tennis rely on third-party apps.
  • Heart rate readings lag and differ from a chest strap by about 5 bpm.

Verdict

Light enough to forget, the Huawei Watch Fit 5 weighs 27 g and is easy to wear at night. The 1.82-inch AMOLED screen reaches 2500 nits, stays readable in bright sun and refreshes from 1 to 60 Hz. Battery lasts about 7 days in real use, against a claimed 10 days, and a full charge takes 75 min. There are over 100 sport modes, and a pulse wave check looks for signs of atrial fibrillation without an ECG sensor. The trade-off is software: there is no app store on the watch, and it cannot write or read SMS from the wrist. It suits someone who wants a light, everyday tracker with good sleep and heart data, and who does not need an ECG or golf.
