The Huawei Watch Fit doesn't revolutionise the fitness tracking market, but by getting most of the basics right it sets itself up as a solid option for casual and newbies who are only just getting started working out.

Intuitive UI; Free guided workouts are useful to beginners; Decent battery life; Bright; colourful display

No real app support; No local music

Light weight, comfy and feature-packed, the Watch Fit is an affordable and simplified fitness tracker that will appeal to anyone wanting to kickstart or maintain an active lifestyle, but serious athletes will want to look for something more fully-fledged.

Great value for money; Lightweight and comfortable; Easy to use

Finicky phone pairing; Straps aren’t interchangeable

The Huawei Watch Fit looks like an Apple Watch but does most of what Huawei's more expensive smartwatches do for a lot less....

Good AMOLED display Reliable fitness tracking Affordable price tag 10-day battery life

Unoriginal design Screen can be a little pokey Limited Lite OS software Worrisome strap mechanism

The Huawei Watch Fit is a fitness tracker with the design of an everyday watch and a unique virtual personal trainer - but the companion Health app needs some work

An excellent watch for 2020

The Huawei Watch Fit is a surprisingly nice wearable to live with. We grew to like the not quite smartwatch-sized screen and it pulls some of the best things we like about Huawei's smartwatches.

Likeable design; Packed with features; Animated workouts a nice addition

As a great all-round smartwatch disguised as a compact fitness band, the Huawei Watch Fit is an ideal wrist gadget for those wanting to keep track of their daily activities and fitness goals without overwhelming with unnecessary data sets.

Excellent value for money; Compact yet handsome design; Great feature set for the price and size

One-size band is a restrictive; Doesn’t support third-party straps; Not ideal for more serious fitness fanatics

The Huawei Watch Fit is essentially a lightweight smartwatch, with a bunch of fitness-oriented features.

Extremely comfortable to wear; Lightweight; Curved glass; Perfect size; Great performance with no lag; Outstanding battery life; Tons of fitness options

Proprietary strap connectors; Notification system could use some work; Software could be better

The Huawei Watch Fit is one of the best, cheap smartwatches you can get in the market, bar none. While you’re losing small options like interchangeable straps, the vastly lower price and robust features more than make up for it.

Very affordable for a smartwatch; AMOLED display is bright and readable even under the sun; More or less the same features you get from Huawei’s more expensive smartwatches; Incredible battery life

Lite OS is light on features; GPS takes a few minutes to lock on; Watch straps are not replaceable

The Huawei Watch Fit is an affordable fitness tracker that looks good and has some great fitness capabilities, but there are some kinks that need ironing out.

Sleek everyday design; Virtual built-in workouts; Great battery life;

Companion app has issues; Auto-detect workouts; Heart monitoring unreliable in water;
