If a five years behind Huawei disputed Apple the throne on smartphonesthe United States block has made it must be adapted and the Chinese manufacturer has changed its direction to focus on audio sectors and smart watches. And he has done so well that The Apple Watch has lost the throne in the hands (in this case dolls) of Huawei, which has become the brand that sells the most smart watches in the world.
Proof of this is that every year he launches at least two new smart watches and has already begun 2025 with two new examples: the 5 and Watch Fit 4 Watch, both available in Spain from € 449 and € 169 respectively.
Although clearly different, Both share a DNA: greater precision in measurements, a more intuitive control, more thorough health monitoring, control of hundreds of sports and connectivity with the most current daily life… as payments with the clock. The two can be used to answer messages, record voice notes, make payments with third -party applications … but we go in parts.
The Watch Fit series update maintains its rectangular profile and its pen weight (just 27 grams) in model 4. But that is almost the only thing that has not changed. The Watch Fit 4 arrives with new colors, new tones straps, A barometer compatible with seven new sports modes (such as climbing or skiing), a 30% improvement in the global navigation system (GNSS) which gives greater precision when it comes to following routes and more accurate monitoring of cardiac parameters. In a nutshell: if I had a slightly larger screen (essential to see the variables), it would be a serious candidate to compete with the choirs or the Amazfit that populate long -distance sports competitions. Its screen is 1.82 inches AMOLED.
Of autonomy is left over (up to 10 days) as well as fast charging: in an hour it is already fulfilling again. It is true that there is a pro version that, as the name implies, adds more onerous finishes such as the sapphire crystal on the screen, titanium alloy and a body with aeronautical degree aluminum, without losing its lightness: just 3 grams more than its younger brother.
The two models have a new positioning system called Huawei Gunshot. This works with two L1+L5 antennas (the use of both bands not only improves accuracy, they also reduce the reflected signals and increase resistance to interruptions), all allows to increase the accuracy of the GPS signal by 56% compared to the previous generation.
The pro model is not only submersible up to 40 meters, but when using the diving option we receive safety alerts linked to our oxygen in blood and heart rate. To this adds offline maps and browsing by routes with control points, route back and diversion alerts. That said, A very interesting competitor in the sports sector that until now was the exclusive kingdom of choirs or Amazfit.
Health -centered, Huawei shows that reaching the throne of the watches has allowed him to refine metrics and control the sensors with greater precision. To the usual heart rate, blood oxygen levels or sleep quality, adds monitoring of the menstrual cycle and The interesting function Sleep Breathing Awareness (awareness of breathing during sleep)which detects night respiratory interruptions. And the pro also includes an ECG measurement sensor.
The older brother, meanwhile, is the huawei Watch 5 that also maintains a profile similar to the previous versions: it is a clock for those who like watches and appreciate materials and design, as much as functions. But it has adapted to the new technological times. To show a button: it is enough to support the finger yolk to measure oxygen in the blood. Your X-Tap sensor is an aggregate to imitate. If we keep it pressed for three seconds, we access a comprehensive health report that includes 7 metric keys. Important: it is not a medical device, it only gives certain data, but does not replace a healthcare professional.
It has three types of straps: titanium (the one with the greatest abolengo), fluoroelastomer and compound materials. The latter mimics the texture of the leather, but without smells, it is water resistant and the spots. To facilitate daily interactions, Watch 5 presents intuitive gestural controls such as double and double touch sliding. With them we can Manage calls (has Esim, allowing the phone independence)control music and even remotely activate the smartphone camera.
To this adds the incorporation of a double way battery system, which allows alternating between standard mode and savings mode. In the 46 mm model, autonomy reaches up to 4.5 days in standard mode and up to 11 days in savings mode. In the 42 mm model, the duration is up to 3 days and 7 days respectively. We will submit them to an in -depth exam, but everything indicates that the throne is assured.
