The Huawei Watch Fit 5 smartwatch is the latest generation of the brand's signature athletically focused wearable that targets the modern user with a penchant for physical activity. The smartwatch comes in the Watch Fit 5 and Watch Fit 5 Pro models, which are both crafted with an aluminum mid-frame while the Pro model is accented by a titanium bezel to help set it apart. The Pro model puts a 1.92-inch AMOLED touchscreen in focus, while the non-Pro model has a 1.82-inch AMOLED with both models offering an always-on display and two physical buttons.
The Huawei Watch Fit 5 smartwatch is rated to support up to seven days of normal use per charge or as long as 10 days when not being heavily used.
What's Driving This Trend
