Third-party reviews

What we like about Huawei Watch Fit 5 Pro

  • Certified for diving to 40 m.
  • ECG and passive irregular-heartbeat detection are built in.
  • The 3000 nits screen stays readable in full sunlight.
  • Titanium bezel and sapphire glass resist scratches.
  • Weighs 30.4 g without strap, so it is barely noticeable overnight.
  • Heart rate readings come close to a chest strap on hard efforts.

What we don't like about Huawei Watch Fit 5 Pro

  • Always-on display cuts battery to about 3.5 to 4 days.
  • The charger ends in USB-A rather than USB-C.
  • Heart rate readings drop out in pool swimming.
  • Google Maps, Spotify and WhatsApp have no watch apps.
  • There is no native Strava sync, so activities are uploaded by hand.

Verdict

Diving to 40 m and an ECG sensor set the Huawei Watch Fit 5 Pro apart from the standard Fit 5. The 1.92-inch screen reaches 3000 nits, so it stays readable in direct sunlight, and the titanium bezel and sapphire glass resist scratches. At 30.4 g without strap, it is barely noticeable overnight, and ECG plus passive irregular-heartbeat detection run in the background. The battery is rated at 10 days and lasts five to eight days in real use, while GPS runs for 25 h. The trade-off is that payments run only through Curve Pay, and there is no Google Play Store. It suits someone who wants ECG, diving and a bright screen in a light everyday watch, and who does not need Google services.
