The HUAWEI Watch Fit 5 Pro launched in April 2026, sitting comfortably between a basic fitness band and a premium smartwatch.
At around £249, it targets users who want reliable health and fitness tracking without spending top-tier prices.

After two weeks of use, the watch proves to be a refined upgrade over its predecessor, the Fit 4 Pro.
The improvements are most noticeable in design and build quality.
Design and Display
The Fit 5 Pro retains the rectangular shape familiar to the series.
It measures 44.5 × 40.8 × 9.5 mm and weighs about 30 grams without the strap, making it light enough for all-day and sleep wear.
A standout detail is the default sports strap.
The bright orange option uses the same breathable nylon material found on the HUAWEI Watch GT Runner 2.
It feels comfortable, allows sweat to evaporate, and is gentle on the skin.
The watch features a titanium alloy bezel and aluminum body. The screen is protected by 2.5D sapphire crystal glass, which resists scratches better than regular glass.
The display is a 1.92-inch AMOLED panel with 480 × 408 resolution. Peak brightness reaches 3,000 nits, ensuring readability in direct sunlight.
Bezels are thin at 1.8 mm and equal on all sides, giving a modern look.
A notable design element is the brilliant ring set into the bezel, created using an oil-filling technique. This makes the watch stand out from other HUAWEI models.
A rotating crown on the side allows menu scrolling, with a button below for quick access to workouts.
Straps attach via a lug-style connector, making swaps easier than the pin system on cheaper models. Color options include orange, white, and black.
Features and Software
The watch runs HarmonyOS 6.
Basic functions include answering calls via Bluetooth, receiving notifications, storing music for offline listening, and acting as a remote camera shutter.
An NFC chip supports payments, depending on bank compatibility in your region.
For sports tracking, the Fit 5 Pro inherits advanced features from higher-end HUAWEI watches.
