Huawei launches Watch Fit sports smartwatch, to retail for Dhs399

Huawei has added a sports watch to its smartwatch line-up, with the rectangular, 1.64-inch Huawei Watch Fit.

Features include Huawei TruSleep 2.0 which offers sleep stage monitoring, heart rate monitoring, sleep respiration quality analysis. The watch recognises when the user falls asleep and wakes up, using this data to present sleep analysis which shows the different stages such as light sleep, deep sleep, REM and wakefulness. Huawei says the watch uses AI to identify six typical sleep problems including difficulty falling asleep, light sleeping, restlessness, early awakening, too many dreams, and irregular work and rest schedule. Using data analysis, the Fit can provide sleep improvement suggestions.

Huawei’s TruSeen 4.0 heart rate monitoring technology offers background heart rate monitoring, displaying users’ current resting heart rate in addition to an infographic showing how their heart rate changed over the last 24 hours. It also provides an abnormal heart rate alert function, which notifies users when their continuous resting heart rate is too high or too low.
