>>> Asus Adol Bluetooth Speaker Launches in China with RGB Lighting and IPX7 Waterproofing
These include freediving tracking up to 40 meters, a golf mode with course maps, pro-level trail running options with checkpoints and destination markers, and new cycling metrics such as virtual power and real-time grade.
A new mini-workout mode offers short exercises driven by a fun panda-themed watch face. This encourages light activity throughout the day.
Third-party fitness apps like Strava are available, but the app selection is limited. iPhone users face restrictions, such as the inability to reply to messages from the watch.
The device is clearly optimized for Android users, especially those with HUAWEI phones. However, health and fitness features work well with both platforms through the HUAWEI Health app.
Health Monitoring
The Fit 5 Pro excels in health tracking for its price. It uses the latest Trusense sensor to monitor heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO2), stress levels, and sleep.
Sleep tracking automatically detects naps and breaks down sleep stages. It accurately records even short 20-minute naps, which is useful for afternoon energy management.
An ECG sensor can detect signs of atrial fibrillation. The watch also measures arterial stiffness and analyzes pulse wave for arrhythmia.
These features are typically found on more expensive devices.
Additional tools include a diabetes risk assessment and sleep breathing monitoring. The sleep breathing awareness feature helps identify potential sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome risk.
The diabetes risk assessment is part of a Huawei Research study and appears after continuous wear. While not a medical diagnostic tool, it provides a useful reference.
Health data is presented clearly in the HUAWEI Health app.
Sports Modes
The watch supports over 100 sports modes. Core modes include running, cycling, swimming, and walking.
For running and cycling, GPS uses dual-band positioning (L1+L5) with multiple satellite systems. This improves accuracy in urban areas with tall buildings or tree cover.
Cyclists get power estimates, cadence readings, and FTP data when using external sensors. The watch auto-pauses at stops and resumes when moving.
Trail runners benefit from route navigation with offline maps and capacity assessment metrics. The watch alerts if you go off course.
