boAt is gearing up for the launch of a new product in India. The company had recently launched the Watch Vertex in the region, and now, it is planning on releasing the Watch Zenit as well.

The popular smart wearables and hearables maker’s upcoming smartwatch has just been spotted on Amazon India. It sports a 1.3 inch circular IPS display that sports two crown buttons on the side for navigation. This wearable is a budget smartwatch and could even be classified as a fitness tracker as well. Although, it still offers features that are common in modern day smartwatches like an SpO2 blood oxygen tracking, heart rate sensor, and even sleep monitoring.

Furthermore, the Watch Zenit offers more than 100 watch faces and also arrives with support for sports and activity tracking like walking, running, cycling, skipping, badminton, basketball, and football. Notably, the device even features a built in video game called Young Bird, which is quite similar to the flappy bird. In a single full charge, the smartwatch can last for up to seven days.

For protection, it even features IP67 certification for dust and water resistance while we can also see that the smartwatch is listed in three color variants. This includes Black, Silver, and Blue color options. Unfortunately, it is unknown when exactly the product is set to be released in the market, with its pricing also being unlisted as of right now. So stay with us as we will be covering its upcoming launch.

Huawei Band 4 launched last October in China for 199 Yuan ($28). It later landed the Indian shores in late January for the same price tag of ₹1,999 ($28). Now, the fitness tracker is receiving a new firmware update, which enables the idle SpO2 sensor present on this wearable.

The Huawei Band 4 shares all of its specs with Honor Band 5i that launched around the same time. The only difference between them is the design of the capacitive home button.

These fitness trackers feature SpO2 sensor to monitor blood oxygen levels. But the sensor comes disabled out of the box. The Honor Band 5i received a firmware update in March to enable this sensor. Now, the Huawei Band is also getting a similar treatment.

The new 5.46MB update for Huawei Band 4 bumps up the firmware version to 1.0.2.96. It brings the following changes to the fitness tracker.

Huawei Band 4 Firmware v1.0.2.96 Changelog

• Enables SpO2 sensor
• Optimizes user experience
• Optimizes the workout experience
• Optimizes the Alarm feature
• Fixes some display issues

The update is being rolled out in batches and Huawei asks users to only update when the tracker has at least 20% battery. As per the company, the update will take about 20 minutes to install.

UMIDIGI announces a new smartwatch called UFit with SpO2 sensor, which is usually not found on smartwatches including the popular Apple Watch. Priced at $29.99, it is currently the cheapest wearable to come with this sensor on board.

In case you do not know, SpO2 sensors are used to measure blood oxygen levels. A normal healthy person usually has blood oxygen levels in the range of 95-100 percent. Lower than this level, even less than 90 percent is considered unhealthy. In addition to this sensor, the UMIDIGI UFit also features a heart rate sensor, which is found on almost all the wearables out there in the market.

The UFit comes with a 1.3-inch color display surrounded by stainless steel chassis. It has all the features a wearable must have such as 24 x 7 heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, fitness tracking, music playback controls, and more. This smart device is also water-resistant up to  50 meters and hence users can take it for swims without any hassle.

The UMIDIGI UFit will go on sale for the first time from 27th March for only $29.99 from AliExpress. Celebrating the launch, the brand is also giving away 15 units of the UFit along with 5 units of its newly launched F2 smartphone with a punch-hole display on its official website.
