Huawei Watch Fit 5 Series Launches Globally with New Displays and Sensors

Huawei has launched the Watch Fit 5 and Watch Fit 5 Pro smartwatches in the global market. The company made both models available for order directly from its online store. This release brings the fitness-focused wearable series to a wider audience beyond its initial Chinese launch.

The new smartwatches feature advanced health sensors, LTPO AMOLED screens, and up to ten days of battery life on the Pro model.

The Watch Fit 5 Pro features a 1.92-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a screen-to-body ratio of 83 percent. The screen reaches a peak brightness of 3,000 cd/m². Huawei constructed the Pro model with an aluminum frame, a titanium bezel, and sapphire glass protection. It houses a 471 mAh battery and supports free diving to depths of up to 40 meters. The device includes advanced health sensors for ECG, pulse wave analysis, and arterial stiffness detection.

The standard Watch Fit 5 model utilizes a slightly smaller 1.82-inch AMOLED display. This screen achieves a maximum brightness of 2,500 cd/m². The base model uses a case made from 100 percent recycled aluminum and lithium-aluminum-silicate glass. It shares the same 471 mAh battery capacity as the Pro variant. Huawei priced the Watch Fit 5 at 199 EUR (about $233) and the Watch Fit 5 Pro at 299 EUR (about $350).

Both watches support contactless payments via Curved Pay and offer over 100 sports modes. A new Mini Workouts feature provides 30 short exercise routines for both devices.
