Huawei unveiled the Watch Fit 5 series with prices starting at £159.99 for the standard model and £249.99 for the Pro, adding health tracking, contactless payments and a virtual panda workout assistant.
TruSense sensors deliver 15% better accuracy than previous models, tracking blood oxygen, stress, heart rate and sleep, while cardio monitoring flags irregularities and nap tracking feeds into recovery scores.
The lineup also targets everyday use with 10-day battery life, Curve Pay support, compatibility with iOS and Android, and more than 100 workout modes including cycling, trail running and golf on the Pro.
Huawei is pitching the devices as an antidote to rigid fitness regimens, emphasizing flexible, data-backed wellness; launch offers run until June 21 with £40 off the Fit 5 and £50 off the Pro.
