The Huawei Watch Fit 5 Pro is the most advanced model in Huawei’s Fit range, combining a large AMOLED display with built-in GPS, contactless payments and an ECG function. It promises more comprehensive health tracking than the standard Watch Fit 5 within a similar lightweight design. But are the extra features worth paying for? We sent it to our labs to find out how it performed.

How we test screen quality

Because you'll be using your smartwatch in a range of conditions - including outdoors in bright sunlight, at home during the day and at night-time - we rate the quality, brightness, contrast and visibility of the display. We also rate how scratch resistant it is.

Smart notifications

Overall

Messaging

How we test smart notifications

Rates the smartwatch’s ability to handle calls, messages (including SMS and Whatsapp messages) and notifications. The phone calls rating is based on the calls features of the watch and the sound quality of the speaker/microphone where applicable. Notifications ratings include message and social media notifications. The App rating is based on the availability of apps for receiving notifications and how useful and actionable these notifications are.

How we test health tracking

Individual ratings include the accuracy of tracking for each metric (steps, distance, calories), plus the consistency of tracking between sessions. Only smartwatches with built-in GPS or a heart-rate monitor are tested for these
