Huawei Watch Fit 2 First Run Review: Fitbit Charge 5 rival with big running features

We know there are some runners that don't want a full fat running watch or smartwatch, and quite like the idea of a fitness tracker with a colour screen that can do a good job tracking your indoor and outdoor run time.
The Huawei Watch Fit 2 is a cross between a fitness tracker and a smartwatch and at £130, offers a surprisingly large array of features that should appeal to runners. That includes dual-band, five-system GNSS to offer more accurate outdoor tracking, the ability to import and follow routes, training programs, an interval training mode and running and training analysis features from Huawei's impressive GT Runner watch.
Testers Mike and Nick were out in Milan for the official unveiling of the Watch Fit 2 and Mike managed to grab one to test out to see whether the Huawei Watch Fit 2 could be one to keep your eye on.

[@graphi-t1949]

Will I be able to buy it before the 8th of June

[@shivankbansal2261]

Adidas ultra boost 22 vs vomero 16/17(to be realesed soon)?

[@menezesadv]

This device can detect and use data from heart rate straps (like Polar H10 or Garmin HRM) during workouts?

[@nanascho3]

I'd recognize that wristband anywhere...Are you the reviewer for wareable? I love that site! Looking forward to this watch and its US release date. It's on my shortlist of options after Pixel Watch disappointed me with its massive bezel.

[@wangouthangout]

Can this watch do navigation without being paired to phone? I mean leaving phone at home after uploading the route.

[@taniuta8562]

I'm wondering this too...

[@rayanahamed7855]

Huawei band 7 video plzzz

[@tousifbachne]

[@Saixtanwar]

Any Strava connectivity yet ?

yes, huawei health now support strava connect on both android and ios, which means every huawei/honor wearable devices in the past and future will be able to upload result to strava

[@randomarmy8541]

i didnt know the strap for huawei watch fit cannot be used on huawei watch fit 2... i bought straps but cant use it. i hope huawei cleared that up.

[@ironraharjo1920]

I think it’s because in the watch fit 2 you have a more wider

[@deandrake2723]

Does this have a camera shutter?

[@adrianjuniorForever]

Yes if you use huawei phone

[@deandrake2723]

@@adrianjuniorForever awesome

[@kophotography895]

Very expensive, when you compare to other Sports wearables on the market, I used to like Huawei as a budget option, nowadays prices put it well out of reach, sub £100 it may of been an option.

[@TedThomasTT]

If you pre-order it it's £109

[@xalzor740]

But this is basically a smart watch not a smart band so its easily worth the 100 euro price... With a smart band you cant even do half of the things and not to mention most other bands doesnt have good sensors.

[@Hotsauceonmy]

Chinese tracking device lol

[@xalzor740]

All device track you anyway doesnt matter if its Chinese or US

[@davemeredith6964]

Believe me. The USA would be worse when it comes to tracking. Facebook, Google...need I say more...
