HUAWEI WATCH FIT - Watch This Before Buying! (3 Month Review)

Huawei Watch Fit has been a cheap and cheerful fitness smartwatch to use however despite the pros, there have been a few things I wasn't expecting.
In this 3 month review of the smartwatch, I will go through all the features, how they have worked out in real-world use, and then wrap up with final thoughts, pros and cons.
This Huawei smartwatch features an animated fitness coach, long battery life, 1.64 inch AMOLED display, 96 workout modes, scientific workout guidance, full-health monitoring (including heart monitoring, stress monitoring and SPO2 monitoring), built in GPS and 5ATM water resistance.

Do you own a smart watch or would you consider buying one?

[@Robin007George]

Those are only good for fitness freaks...also unless its approved by FDA....is it really reliable?

[@krollpeter]

@@Robin007George The SPO2 level and the heartbeat are surprisingly good. So is the stepcounter. Exercise detection is close to perfect for me. The sleep pattern is accurate in terms of total sleep, the conclusions of that app not so. I'd prefer it had some summary of the Heartbeat+SPO2 level findings instead. The stress level is mostly gimmicky. The graphic presentations of constant-on SPO2 and heartbeat could be done better, but this tiny watch has it, while most others in this price range do not. It's always useful for seeing a trend. Therefore, the watch is good for exercise, but also for people who want to watch for possible heartneat issues, or for those with breathing problems. Overall it's really good for the asking price. Marlon's review is actually accurate. The auto-screen brightness tends to be too dimm.The standby screens lack a 100 % sparse version, but the standby function by itself is good. It is one of the few smartwatches you can actually use "always on". And about the other points I agree with him - good and bad, too.

[@krollpeter]

On top of the said let me add another important feature: Most other smartwatches are simply too big and heavy for wearing at night, during sleep. This here is a smartwatch which can be worn during sleep.

[@Robin007George]

@@krollpeter Thanks for the reply....I find it amusing that people sleep in still manner at all...my hands keep flailing around 🤣 I can't imagine wearing anything breakable at all Stress level is basically blood pressure based i suppose

[@krollpeter]

@@Robin007George My hands usually want to go next to me where the female is ... It does not have any capability to measure blood pressure. Stress Level is based on certain heartbeat patterns detected. That's what Marlon was trying to express. The watch show stress, yet it might not be stress for me, but for example the pattern might be the result of something I do, and I find exciting ...

[@aywlam6721]

Fair & comprehensive review. Thanks

[@painfulltruth5551]

Good job, I like a comprehensive review ,I don't care how long it takes I like to get as much info as possible before I buy something. Thanks for your effort.

[@MarlonKingShow]

Thanks for your feedback and for taking the time to leave a comment, really helps me understand how useful my content is. All the best from the UK.

[@itsalcyj]

I was thinking about buying band 6 or fit smartwatch. Compared to these two watches, I feel like I should buy fit smartwatch after watching this review because of the larger screen. At first, I thought these two watches were the same but considering the price of fit smartwatch costs a little more expensive, I explored youtube to find a review, now i knew the difference. Thanks to marlon king, it's very helpful. I've bought a fit smartwatch hihi :)

Great review! Non-Biased and it felt honest. Thanks for that.

[@MarlonKingShow]

Many thanks 🙏🏻

[@ExploringWithTeo]

Great review. Anyway did you find that when you turn on the display (either by rotation or by button) the heart rate suddenly goes up by 20/30 beats and then returns to the correct measurement? This thing this only happens when you turn on the display, it does not happen when you keep it active or during workouts. I have had this problem with the Watch Fit Elegant, but huawei support told me they all do this sort of bug.

[@ExploringWithTeo]

@Maximum Ninjutsu Power really i don't know, huawei support told me regular had this problem too... but i'm not sure.

[@eburneentertainment9903]

@@MarlonKingShow I'm using it with a Huawei Mate 20 Pro, it didn't even occur to me that this might be a factor!

[@MarlonKingShow]

@@eburneentertainment9903 yeah, I may be wrong, but I believe it is because Huawei phone has access to everything, where as on a Samsung phone, and most other phones running android these days, it will be restricted due to the rules put in place by US etc. last year closing access to google. Its good to know they do work on Huawei phones, but yeah a bit of a shame it doesnt work with non-Hauwei ones.

[@essah4161]

I have the Watch Fit and the Gps is good enough. It is probably around 5% at most off.

will this be suitable for gym workout tracking and reps counting.. etc?

[@cocobanu1048]

I used to have a Fitbit and the advantage of that was the community group challenges and the virtual trails .. which may have been removed of late. But with huawei I don’t know of any such apps thst connect with this huawei watch Fit and I don’t have many friends who have huawei watch to be able to add them to be able to compete. If anyone knows of a walking virtual walk app that actually connects to this then let me know thanks

[@steve1983alford]

Could I ask, what does the calendar notifications look like on the Fit? It looks like you have sync with the Huawei app on your phone, and show notifications to the watch, but I would like to know how they look?

[@MarlonKingShow]

HI Steven, it comes through looking like a basic text message, I don't believe it gives you the time and date, just the title of the calendar event.

[@syedk632]

Dopes it auto detect sleep? or do you need to turn that on

[@MarlonKingShow]

It auto detects. I've never had to do anything other than check it syncs the data with my phone the next morning to see how well I slept.

[@krollpeter]

Although the sleep tracking does not work well. Beginning and end of sleep are ok, but the rest ... naaaa

[@cmlosaria]

does it track sleep breathing oxygen saturation like on miband 6?

[@MarlonKingShow]

It tracks SPO2 and it does track sleeping, I have not used the miband to compare but it will chart both your sleeping pattern from a light, deep sleep perspective and the spo2 is on a separate chart.

How to answer calls on my watch fit

[@slowlyvibe934]

Can i pickup or disconnect my call from the watch? Please i need some information. Thank u in advance

[@MarlonKingShow]

You will get call alerts, and you can reject the call from the watch. But the watch does not have speakers or microphone so will not answer the call or have anything to do with the call after pickup. Hope that helps.

Have you try it under water ? Its having swiming program...? Mine works on a samsung a52 to change muzic on KZbin... i only use yt

[@MarlonKingShow]

Heya, yes I use it for lane swimming at the swimming pool, works very well but you have to make sure you go right to the end otherwise it won't count the length. I have not tried it super deep but for normal swimming works great. 😀

[@AlexDinca2003]

@@MarlonKingShow i am thinking to give it back and look for a better one...when I work out în gym its not showing right bpm i was high on bpm like 160 170 and the cllock was saing 120 130 i have test my bpm on the tredmill and was 160... and I was felling like high bpm....so its not so good for wheight lifting... I change his pozițion thight etc

[@MarlonKingShow]

@@AlexDinca2003 you may find you need to position it slightly different on your wrist, not too low or high. But ultimately if it still doesn't work then agree its best to change it for one that works best. In general it has worked fine for me, a few times it has slide further up or down my wrist as I wear it loose and it has not read accurately but when I moved back it worked fine.

[@mr.tbagsxm4523]

i don't get it every time i check my huawei watch gt2 pro my stress markers are always bright orange or yellow but whenever i see these youtubers show their stress level they are always more blue than anything else and i don't feel as if i am stressed out any way i had to get the watch fit new i will compare waiting on it's arrival nice vid

[@MarlonKingShow]

Thabk you, I'm not sure exactly how the stress levels are calculated, do you have a high resting bpm? Sounds silly but is the watch resting in the right part of your wrist? I notice it becomes less accurate if its to high or low on my wrist. Would be interested to see how the new watch works for you. If you don't feel stressed then defo don't let your watch stress you out lol. Good luck.

YThanks. What a nice shirt, where can I get one?

Thanks Jorge, I actually bought this in Hong Kong believe it or not 😆. Made a few videos while I was out there on this channel if you are interested. Not sure you can buy them else where, at least wouldn't be the same as this has some hand stitched parts. But if you ever go to HK, I bought it at Victoria peak.

[@MasterKoala777]

I just ordered this as my first fitness tracker, and then found out that it doesn’t have tap-to-wake. Even the cheaper Huawei Band 6 and 7 have this feature, but weirdly absent in the Watch Fit. Have you ever felt the need for it?

[@MarlonKingShow]

I've never felt like I need it, probably helps with battery by not accidentally turning on, I just either twist my wrist, or push the button on the side.

[@MasterKoala777]

@@MarlonKingShow Update: I'm glad I didn't cancel my order. Really enjoying the watch and I don't miss tap to wake as the raise to wake feature is particularly good (except when lying down in bed, on my side). GPS takes maybe 10 secs to get a lock (not as long as I feared based on some other reviews). Thanks for your review and reply. 🙂

Can you change the strap on the huawei watch fit elegant?

[@krollpeter]

Yes, easy. Aliexpress has hundreds.

[@aravindmnair_]

I wonder why does this watch has got 4gb storage and mic and that too not useable for anything

[@nyk8]

Good review but have you checked the steps count accuracy and heart rate BPM? They are worse. I wore Fitbit, MI band 5, apple, and Huawei band 6 on both my wrist. Huawei turned out to be worse, it showed 200 extra steps count on every 2500 steps and the heart BPM keeps changing often, it stays often above 80, even while you are resting. I had to return this product twice. Now please tell me they have fixed this issue. Note : This is known issue in all huawei and honor watch.

[@MarlonKingShow]

Thanks man, I haven't been able to compare step count as currently only have the one smart watch. I find if you have the strap to loose or in the wrong place on the arm the bpm will not adjust correctly, you may have found this issue by having multiple devices on the same arm for testing, but I find just moving the position by an inch can solve this. What I will say is I used it swimming the other day and it was bang on with the number of lengths I did (in distance) which was reassuring. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. However I understand if you are going for up most accuracy you may have to do further checks or seek higher priced devices potentially.

[@Martin-pr6ps]

Does this watch connect to your phone

[@MarlonKingShow]

Yes, it connects via Bluetooth

[@TheDagyman]

It's compatible with Googlefit?

[@MarlonKingShow]

You have to use the huawei health app. I haven't tried Google fit but it won't work with my Samsung health app, so may well be the same.

[@Astra_Z17]

This or the huawei band 6?

[@MarlonKingShow]

The band 6 is a bit cheaper, but if you can find the watch fit in a deal, there is not much difference in price and you get a slightly bigger and more usable screen alongside GPS tracking which is great for if you do lots of walks or running. If you want smaller or dont need GPS, save your money and get the band 6

You ate your own words.. Who buys a fitband to keep it on.. standby.. Heheeeeeeeee..Battery last 3 to 4 days at most if you use it, with sleep monitor, blood pressure and Oxygen on.. Or choose to use for exercise.. All in all is a decent band , but nothing special. It is good for huawei phones. Otherwise...

[@MarlonKingShow]

This is by no means on standby....I have all 3 monitoring switched permanently on and still get 7 days out of it, including a fitness session or two a week and tracking walks. I dont think the cheaper fitness bands have the same level of monitoring or as decent screen. This is about double the price of a cheap fitness band, but half the price of a smart watch so I think its in the right place for the money. Hope you found the video helpful 😎

[@simdencard]

This band is really good for fitness to say its only £60 I can't think of any band that's better for the price due to the First Beat analytics and accuracy as well as real 24/7 heart rate monitoring and 24/7 spo2 monitoring.

[@marflo121]

More over the sleep monitoring is a joke. It was charging over night, around 5am i placed it on my wrist and i had another 2h of sleep. When I woke up the sleep report said my sleep has a 83 score for more than 8h of sleep.. Ridiculous.

What's the best way to smash this watch to pieces? ....what way would give you the most satisfaction? Thanks in advance. I hate everyone here haha

[@MarlonKingShow]

Probably suggest a sledge hammer if you want big impact. Alternative option is to hold it by the end of one of the straps and smash repeatedly against the corner of a desk, note, in this option, more frustration may come if a) the strap breaks before total destruction or b) the watch damages thes desk in the process. Good luck.
