Huawei Watch Fit, a fitness tracker from the Chinese company which was first launched last year, has been updated when the company launched its successor, dubbed as Huawei Watch Fit New. Recently, it was revealed that the device will soon debut in India.

The Huawei Watch Fit New will be offered in four color options in India — Distilled Blue, Graphite Black, Pomelo Red, and Sakura Pink. As of now, the pricing and availability details of the wearable product for the Indian market aren’t known.

We expect the device to be similar to the model launched in China.

It comes with 300 different dials users can choose from.

It has support for 97 sports modes as the company has now added support for jump rope. It also comes with features like animated workouts, automatic identification of swimming styles, SWOLF score, and many more.

Huawei has taken the wraps off the new Watch GT 3 smartwatch in the U.K. The new watch packs lots of features, some of which have been carried over from the Huawei Watch GT 2 released in 2019.

The Huawei Watch GT 3 is available in 42mm and 46mm sizes and four variants: Active, Classic, Elite, and Elegant. The 46mm version has a 1.43-inch 466 x 466 AMOLED display and a case that’s 11mm thick while the 42mm version has a 1.32-inch display with the same resolution and a 10.2mm case. Due to the smaller size, the 42mm version uses 20mm straps while the 46mm version uses a 22mm strap. For those who want to know, the case is stainless steel but the underside is plastic on both watches.

Huawei says the Watch GT 3 has a new PPG 5.0 module for heart rate and blood oxygen level detection includes 8 photodiodes and two sets of light sources. There is also a curved glass lens that makes the watch more comfortable to wear and prevents external light interference. It also says that the AI algorithm has been upgraded to filter out noisy signals and record more accurate data even in fast-changing cases such as when swimming, sprinting, or skipping.

There is TrueSleep 5.0 for sleep tracking and TruSeen 5.0+ for health and fitness monitoring. The watch has support for 100+ workout modes including 18 professional modes and 12 outdoor workouts such as golf and skiing. There is an AI Running Coach that helps create a professional running plan based on your running data. It will also use a feature called Running Ability Index (RAI) to analyze the running performance after each training to help owners understand their progress and improvements.

The Huawei Watch GT 3 has 4GB of ROM and 32MB of RAM. It has an accelerometer, gyroscope, geomagnetic sensor, barometer, dual-band 5-system GNSS, and a temperature sensor. Other features are a built-in assistant, a microphone and speaker for Bluetooth calling, and the ability to sync with compatible sports machines.

Battle For Your Wrist: Huawei Watch Fit New vs OPPO Watch Free

Habeeb Onawole — Tue, 28 Sep 2021 13:29:57 +0000

The Huawei Watch Fit New and the OPPO Watch Free are two new fitness trackers that were announced recently in China. Both wearables share a similar design, one that was actually pioneered by the Huawei Watch Fit released in 2020. Apart from looking alike, the two devices also have identical features but try to differ in their own unique ways.

If you are planning to pick up a fitness tracker, there is a chance these two are on your shortlist. To know which one is better, here is a comparison pitting them against each other.

Design

The two smartwatches are very similar in their appearance with subtle differences. For instance, the Huawei Watch Fit New has a physical button on the side of its frame for operation alongside support for touch input. While both are made from similar materials – a plastic frame and silicone straps – Huawei’s watch has the advantage of being available in more colors than the OPPO Watch Free. However, the latter’s leather-like silicone strap may be more appealing to buyers.

1 of 2

Another factor to be considered under design is weight. Both are pretty light but the OPPO Watch Free is the lighter one at 32.6 grams (NFC version is 33 grams) while the Huawei Watch Fit New weighs 34 grams. Most people will not be able to tell the difference seeing as the difference is very minute.

Technically, this category should be a tie, but Huawei gets an extra point for coming up with the design.

Display

Both fitness trackers have the same 1.64-inch 280 x 456 AMOLED display with 2.5D glass on top. Neither of the two fitness trackers mentions having protection for the display but we believe there should be a degree of protection against scratches.

OPPO Watch Free AI Watch Face feature gives you a watch face that matches your outfit

Users will be able to choose from more than 300 different dials on the Huawei Watch Fit New while OPPO says there are more than 100 dials to choose from. While that is fewer than what Huawei offers, OPPO adds the option to generate a custom dial for your watch using a photo of your outfit.

Activity Tracking

The Huawei Watch Fit New has 97 sports modes while OPPO says the Watch Free can track more than 100 different physical activities with support for automatic detection when running, walking, or working out using a rowing machine or elliptical bike. OPPO’s fitness tracker can also track jump rope workout, a mode Huawei plans to add to its wearable via an OTA update.

1 of 2

Both fitness trackers have built-in running coaches but the Huawei Watch Fit New has the upper hand with its built-in GPS and animated workouts that show you how to perform certain exercises.

Health Tracking

The two fitness trackers have a heart rate sensor for 24 hours heart rate monitoring, a SpO2 sensor for blood-oxygen-level monitoring, and sleep tracking. OPPO also adds snoring detection which is an important metric to determine how well a user sleeps. Huawei, on the other hand, includes stress tracking along with guided breathing exercises to help you relax. There is also a menstrual cycle reminder on the Huawei Watch Fit New that will estimate menstruation and ovulation dates.

Other Features

The Huawei Watch Fit New has NFC and thus can be used to make payments and also for commuting (bus and subway pass). There is also a built-in AI assistant for controlling compatible smart home appliances.

The standard version of the OPPO Watch Free doesn’t have NFC but has support for Alipay and WeChat payment. There is a version with NFC that will let you add your bank, bus, and subway cards for contactless payments. It also has the Breeno AI assistant built-in with support for an offline mode.

Both fitness trackers support app alerts, music playback control, call and message alerts, and have a find-my-phone feature. OPPO adds a special eSports Mode that automatically redirects notifications to the wearable when playing a game on compatible phones such as the Find X3 series and Reno6 series.

Huawei Watch Fit has a 10-day battery life

Battery life

The OPPO Watch Free has a 230mAh battery capacity that OPPO claims will last up to 14 days depending on the usage. Huawei’s fitness tracker has a 180mAh battery capacity of and its battery life is stated to be 10 days in typical usage mode.

Price

The Huawei Watch Fit New is priced at ¥799 (~$124) while the OPPO Watch Free is priced at ¥549 (~$85) for the standard version and ¥599 (~$93) for the NFC version.

Conclusion

The two fitness trackers are not only similar in terms of design but also have corresponding features. However, differentiating ones such as the eSports mode on the OPPO Watch Free and the animated workouts as well as built-in GPS on the Huawei Watch Fit New can sway buyers to choose one over the other.

Another major difference is the price tag. The Huawei Watch Fit New costs about $30 more than the OPPO Watch Free NFC version, and for folks who are on a tight budget, they will prefer to pick up OPPO’s fitness tracker.

One advantage Huawei has is experience in the wearable space, an area OPPO can still be considered a greenhorn. Huawei has been making smartwatches and fitness trackers for years and has been able to fine-tune features across models. We should expect better tracking on the Huawei Watch Fit New in addition to having a companion app that is well put together. Bearing this in mind, only a usage-based comparison can tell which fitness tracker provides the better experience.

Huawei Watch Fit New is a slight refresh to the original, adds jump rope tracking

Habeeb Onawole — Thu, 23 Sep 2021 19:55:22 +0000

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.
