Like most electric devices, there are few options of smart wearable that really cares female users with fine design and exclusive features beyond tech things. But recently a latest HUAWEI smart watch caught my eyes, the HUAWEI Watch Fit Elegant Edition. As a female user, it’s my pleasure to give you a picture how the watch performs from a female perspective, after seeing most review works were done by non-female peers.

Design

The very first good detail of the Watch Fit is the rectangular 2.5D curved display. And it truly means that the dial is curved with a beautiful arc to fit the surface of my wrist, which smartly makes it not to bump up too much over your wrist. Personally, a big display is really not necessary as it is unavoidable to have a bigger size of dial. It generally looks strange when those full-size wearables occur to my thin wrist. Wearing the Watch Fit (1.64-inch display) I didn’t have this concern. The Watch Fit (size: 46mm×30mm×10.7mm; weight: 27g) is lighter and thinner than most full-function smartwatches that I’ve ever tried.

The included off-white strap with the polished golden watch frame looks pretty stylish for female users. And more importantly, it didn’t make me spend much time again thinking about how to match my clothes with a smart wearable. Casual, formal or sports dress with this watch is very suitable, and it wouldn’t be abrupt or even too distracting.

Water-proofness

Another feature that saved my life is the so called 5ATM water-proofness. The official explanation says the watch could be used for shallow-water activities like swimming. For me, it’s a greatly release that I didn’t need to take down the watch as I’m cooking at home, where I relied much on the watch features like timer and stopwatch. The dial didn’t leave a little water stain after drenching.

Sports & Health tracking

At the beginning, I thought like the other watches, it would provide the similar sports modes with good sport data collection and display. However, it offers more than what I expected. Besides the 96 workout modes with reliable sport tracking, it can work like a private trainer by offering 12 kinds of animated fitness courses (Exercise at Work, Neck & shoulder Relaxation, Burn Fat Fast, etc.) these animated courses includes 44 standard movement demonstrations which perfectly guides your workout without any equipment.

And the other lasted wearable fitness trackers like the build-in GPS sensor, all-time heartrate monitoring and Blood oxygen saturation monitoring are all included in the Watch Fit. Furthermore, it’s so warm that the watch features a Period-cycle tracking specially for female users. With this feature on, the watch kept tracking the cycle and estimated ovulation date for me, and sent me reminders to let me know the special days coming. I’ve used several phone APPs that have the similar functions, but a wearable product is definitely more convenient to keep me better informed.

Battery

By far I’m satisfied with its battery standby. With almost all important functions on, the watch has lasted for one week without charging. HUAWEI officially claimed it can last for 10 days and can collect back the power for a whole day with only a 5-minute fast charge. The official claim sounds good but I didn’t really care much about it since I only required it to give me a continuous use for the whole week.

Conclusion

I used to complain with my friends about why most tech-thing producers do not seriously think about forms and functions of their products from the perspective of women. But now it seems someone is reviewing their products seriously. The HUAWEI Watch Fit is likely to be the first few products thinking about it seriously.

The new technology is not necessary to come with some kinds of ‘technological sense’, but more importantly, when transforming it into products for all human uses, I think it should be more humane and warmer. Fortunately, at least on the Watch Fit, I saw their efforts.

In August last year, Huawei had announced the Watch Fit, a fashion-focused fitness band designed like a smartwatch. The company later launched the smartwatch in China around December last year and there were speculations of a special edition coming. Huawei has now launched the Watch Fit Elegant. The new model adds two new colour options to the mix as well as some design tweaks.

The Huawei Watch Fit Elegant utilizes a polished stainless steel watch frame and the strap is also made from a soft fluoroelastomer material. This is in contrast with the plastic frame and silicone strap that is used on the regular Watch Fit. The smartwatch will only be available in Frosty White with golden accents and Midnight Black option tweaked with silver buckle and frame.

The soft fluoroelastomer strap used on this model has better resistance to heat, oil, moisture, and stretching. Although they are a bit more expensive than silicone straps, they afford users a more durable option and one which won’t likely cause any allergic reaction with the skin.

The Huawei Watch Fit Elegant retains the internal specifications of the Watch Fit. This includes a rectangular  1.64-inch AMOLED display with 2.5D curved glass on top. The watch has an HD resolution of 280 x 456 pixels, 326PPI, and a 70% screen-to-body ratio. The display supports full-screen input and the watch has a dimension of 46 x 30 x 10.7mm.

On the left side, there is a single button that acts as the power button and that can also be used to wake up the device. The watch equally comes with support for six new Always-on Display watch faces that will show information even when your watch is inactive.

The smartwatch also features a built-in GPS sensor, 5ATM water/dust protection, AI heart rate algorithm, a 6-axis IMU sensor (Accelerometer sensor, Gyroscope sensor), Optical heart rate sensor, capacitive sensor, and ambient light sensor.

Other features onboard include 24-hour heart rate monitoring, SpO2 blood oxygen saturation detection, menstruation cycle trackers, Huawei TruSleep 2.0 for better sleep tracking, and TruRelax to keep track of your stress meter.

The watch is powered by a Kirin A1 chipset and runs on Huawei’s LiteOS. The battery can last fr up to 12 days on standby. We expect that to reduce when features like GPS are in use. It also has reminders for SMS messages, incoming calls, calendar events, and other social media Apps. Also, it comes with all the necessary apps and widgets to take better control over music playback, snap a photo, find your phone, as well as other features such as weather, alarm, timer, stopwatch, and a flashlight.

The Watch Fit Elegant carries a price tag of £110 and will go on sale in the UK on March 26 via Huawei Store and selected retailers.
