£249 Huawei Watch Fit 5 Pro won a strongly positive Android Central review, which said the fitness-focused wearable is a better buy than Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch 8 for many users.
A 471mAh battery lasting about seven days and a 1.92-inch OLED display peaking at 3,000 nits were highlighted as standout advantages, alongside LTPO efficiency and a lightweight aluminum-and-titanium design.
Huawei’s new TruSense sensor system, dual-band GPS and support for more than 100 workout modes helped the watch deliver fitness metrics the reviewer said were consistent with an Apple Watch.
Software trade-offs remain: Huawei’s platform is less extensible than watchOS or Wear OS, though calls, notifications and NFC payments via Curve Pay are available in some markets including the U.K.
