Huawei Watch Fit 2 is the other watch destined for our shores announced at the company’s Flagship Product Launch. While Watch GT3 Pro grabbed the headlines, Watch Fit 2 is more than worth a look for its price proposition.
Our review units haven’t arrived but from our suite of promo images, Huawei Watch Fit 2 maintains the sort of aesthetic quality you expect from the company. A 72.2% screen-to-body ratio helps the face pop.
The oblong screen boasts an impressive 1.76″ AMOLED display at a resolution of 336 x 480. We expect a crisp, colourful and bright output from the display, whether it’s the same panel quality as the more expensive Watch 3 Series remains to be seen.
Fitness Sense
A fitness and wellbeing focused suite of sensors offers all-day heart rate, SpO2 and stress tracking as well as activity tracking for 97 sports modes. TruSleep, steps, water intake and sitting alarm round an impressive line-up.
Watch Fit 2 offers three tiers of the device. Active at €149, Classic at €199 and Elegant at €249.
Active Edition comes with silicone strap and all-polymer case. Elegant and Classic Editions come with metal and leather strap respectively, both feature an aluminium front case with a polymer rear.
Quick Call
Huawei Watch Fit 2 comes with a built-in speaker as well as a mic for full Bluetooth-enabled calling. The device also features the built-in music player for a standalone groove for your standalone workout. Watch Fit 2 also sports solo GPS tracking.
The device is a waifish 10.8mm thick and just 33.5mm despite that huge 1.76″ display. Impressively, the slender device boasts a maximum 10-day battery life.
Marathon
Impressively, the slender device promises a maximum 10-day battery life with a use-case given by Huawei that they say will deliver that figure. For more regular users, your mileage will vary.
My own mileage is a week of consistent use with an Always-On Display from previous watches that promised a maximum 14 days. Five days from Huawei Watch Fit 2 with a similar use-profile would be impressive.
Chessboard Launcher rejigs the Harmony OS for Watch experience for better usability in its rectangular form.
