Huawei recently unveiled the Watch Fit New in China with impressive features like blood oxygen monitoring, NFC payments, and up to 97 sports modes. Now, the Huawei Watch Fit New seems to be heading to Europe as a popular tipster has shared an explicit launch date of its European arrival.

According to Roland Quandt, the Huawei Watch Fit New will launch next month in Europe. The tipster reveals that it may launch on October 18 featuring the NFC feature. Well, to give the tip some weight, Huawei has already created a landing page for the smartwatch on its Germany portal.

Furthermore, the tipster suggests that the smartwatch will cost EUR 129. If this is to be believed then it will be similar to the Chinese pricing of CNY 799(~$124). In China, it has four colour variants namely Obsidian Black, Grapefruit Red, Island Blue, and Pink Cherry. We expect these colour options to also arrive in European markets.

The Huawei Watch Fit New is a successor to the last year’s Watch Fit and it comes with more sports modes. The Watch Fit New has a 1.64-inch AMOLED display with a 280 x 456 pixels resolution. It has 300 watch faces and 97 sports modes. The new addition to the existing sports modes is the Jump rope counter.

It has a 24/7 heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring sensor, stress monitoring sensor, and has menstrual tracking. The smartwatch supports the NFC payments feature and gets call and SMS alerts.

The Huawei Watch Fit was announced more than a year ago, rocking a stand-out design and packing some pretty nice features for a fitness tracker. Since its launch, we have seen more manufacturers adopt a similar design for their fitness trackers. Today, a new model of the wearable was announced and it will be sold as the Huawei Watch Fit New.

Agreed, adding “New” to a product just to distinguish it from an older model is odd. Going with a year as the suffix is a much better way to tell them apart even if the differences are minimal as is the case with the Huawei Watch Fit and the Huawei Watch Fit New.

The Huawei Watch Fit New has the same 1.64-inch 280 x 456 AMOLED display as the original. Physically, there are no differences save for the new model launching in new colorways. It also comes with 300 different dials users can choose from.

Where they differ slightly is in their features. The Huawei Watch Fit New has support for 97 sports modes, one more than the 2020 model. That new sport mode is jump rope which surprisingly isn’t available out of the box but will be added via an OTA update.

The new fitness tracker has all of the features you love from last year’s model such as animated workouts, automatic identification of swimming styles, SWOLF score, and many more. The Huawei Watch Fit New has 24/7 heart rate monitoring, 24/7 blood oxygen monitoring, sleep tracking, menstrual tracking, and stress monitoring. It also supports call notifications, app alerts, music playback control, NFC payment, and can also control compatible smart home appliances.

The Huawei Watch Fit New will sell for ¥799 (~$124), the same price as its predecessor. It is available in Grapefruit Red, Island Blue, Pink Cherry, and Obsidian Black.
