Huawei Watch Fit 5 Pro Tops Review at $280 as 10-Day Battery Outlasts Apple Watch Rivals

$280 Watch Fit 5 Pro and $160 Fit 5 emerged from testing as strong fitness-smartwatch alternatives, with premium build, bright displays, accurate tracking and battery life that beat many Wear OS and Apple Watch models.
10-day claimed endurance translated to about 8 days in testing with health tracking enabled, while the Pro added titanium, sapphire glass, ECG, skin temperature, arterial stiffness analysis, golf mode and 40-meter dive support.
3,000-nit peak brightness on the Pro, dual-band GNSS and heart-rate readings close to a Polar H10 chest strap helped the series stand out, alongside detailed sleep analysis and support for more than 100 sports.
U.S. trade restrictions still blunt the experience: Huawei Health is absent from Google Play, AppGallery app choices remain limited, iPhone users face reduced notification features, and NFC payments rely on Curved instead of Apple Pay or Google Pay.
