Huawei Fit – The Stylish & Water Resistant Fitness Smartwatch
Huawei’s new Fit is lightweight, comfortable, and has a battery that can last for at least a week. With the water resistant feature, it can be worn while going for a swim or in the shower. The thing that sets Huawei Fit’s design apart from other fitness wearables is that it has no physical buttons on the watch i.e. no mode selector or power button.
Stylish, Slim, Metal Design
The Huawei Fit has got a 1.6-inch circular aluminum face and a slim metal body. It’s circular design is refreshingly simple and stylish, which is different from many of the other square-shaped fitness trackers.
The plastic wristband of the fitness tracker is smooth on the top and has tender ridges on the bottom. Huawei Fit’s working relies on touchscreen interaction. You can swipe up and down to select options, tap to confirm, and swipe right to step back in the interface.
Monochrome Display with Gorilla Glass
Huawei Fit’s display has a Memory LCD Touchscreen and covered with a Corning Gorilla 3 Glass. The monochrome graphics on Fit’s screen allows it to really excel in critical areas. With the help of the reflective nature of the LCD touchscreen, you will never be in a situation where you have trouble reading the display in bright sunlight. Actually, the direct sun illumination makes it easier to read.
Fit has an automatic backlight for low-light conditions. A brightness sensor has been embedded at the 12 o’clock position to detect whenever extra light is needed. It only lights up when you raise your arm to check the time, that way, it won’t be wasting power on it.
