It was only a few weeks ago that we have learned of its existence, so we are quite surprised when Huawei announced that it will release the new Watch Fit in Malaysia this month. Once it arrives here, it will become the company’s most affordable fitness watch with built-in GPS in our market.

Built with a 1.64-inch AMOLED touch display that is enclosed inside a textured matte plastic body, the watch also apparently comes with six always-on watch faces. Users can also choose to customise the watch face on Watch Fit by downloading additional faces from the Watch Face Store or create it themselves by using photos from their phone.

Alongside the ability to withstand water depth of up to 50 meters, the Watch Fit also offers 96 workout modes together with 12 sets of animated quick workouts. As you might expect, it is also equipped with a heart rate and oxygen saturation sensor together with sleep monitoring capability.

When paired with an Android phone, users are also able to utilise Watch Fit’s stress tracking feature. Huawei claimed that the Watch Fit has a battery life of up to 10 days and supports quick charge technology that allows the watch to function for one whole day with just 5 minutes of charging time.

Pricewise, the new Huawei Watch Fit will be made available in Malaysia for RM 499 on 9 September as per MatePad WiFi and MatePad T10. In conjunction with its release in our market, Huawei is also offering RM 100 instant discount to customers that purchase two units of the new fitness watch while stocks last.
