Huawei has made its Watch Fit smart sports watch available to Australian consumers this week, following the global announcement at the recent Huawei Developer Conference.
Featuring a rounded rectangular face with a large 1.64 AMOLED display, the Huawei Watch Fit offers a variety of animated fitness courses, workout modes and scientific health tracking features that can be shared directly with the Huawei Health app to accurately record the latest data and performance in real time, and help plan exercise regimes.
Huawei Australia managing director for consumer business, Larking Huang said the Watch Fit boasts an impressive 10 days battery life, built-in animated personal trainer and the ability to track and monitor workouts, heart rate, sleep, stress levels and blood oxygen saturation.
“With an ultra slim and light design, the watch can barely be felt on the wrist – great for playing sports, in the office or even sleeping. It truly is the perfect all-day companion. A personal highlight for me is the auto-brightness adjustment, which offers better viewing in sunlight – a feature that will be great in the summer months,” he said.
This is Huawei’s first smartwatch to support an animated personal trainer covering 12 workout courses, including 44 posture demonstrations. The individually animated fitness courses provide users with free one-on-one personal training without the need for a smartphone or any other device. Bite-sized strength training, abdominal workouts and other exercises are designed for time-poor consumers and ‘stand up reminders’ nudge users to stay active when sitting for prolonged periods.
To track performance in detail, the Watch Fit supports 96 workout modes with advanced data tracking. There are 11 professional workout modes which cover the most popular exercise types, including running, walking, cycling, and swimming, and a further 85 workout modes, including fitness training, dancing, ball games, water sports, winter sports and extreme sports.
Huawei’s proprietary TruSeen 4.0 heart rate monitoring technology allows the Watch Fit to support intelligent background heart rate monitoring, displaying users’ current resting heart rate, in addition to an infographic showing how their heart rate changed over the last 24 hours. It also provides an abnormal heart rate alert function when a continuous resting heart rate is too high or too low.
Huawei TruSleep 2.0 delivers sleep stage monitoring, real-time heart rate monitoring, sleep respiration quality and big data analysis. The watch intelligently recognises when the user falls asleep and wakes up, using this data to present a comprehensive sleep analysis which shows the different sleep stages. Harnessing Huawei’s AI technology, it can accurately identify six typical sleep problems including difficulty falling asleep, light sleeping, restlessness, early awakening, too many dreams, and an irregular work and rest schedule.
Rounding off the comprehensive health tracking features is SpO2 monitoring that helps keep track of blood oxygen saturation, while stress level monitoring offers breathing exercises and menstrual cycle management helps female users accurately grasp their physical wellbeing and predict their menstrual cycle.
On-trend wrist strap colour options including mint green, sakura pink, and graphite black, are complemented by over 130 different watch face design options through Huawei’s Watch Face Store. Users can personalise their watch faces with their own photo albums synced directly from their smartphones, and choose which data is on display.
The Huawei Watch Fit is now available for RRP $249 from JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, The Good Guys, Amazon, Mobileciti, Kogan and Huawei Authorised Experience Store.
