Huawei smartwatches are set for a big moment, with at least three new models expected to launch at the brand’s 15 May event in Berlin.
Huawei has officially teased what looks like two new devices — but if the leaks are to be believed, three smartwatches will be unveiled: the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4, FIT 4 Pro, and the long-rumoured HUAWEI WATCH 5. All signs point to a smartwatch refresh that blends fitness-focused upgrades with some bold new hardware experiments. And maybe, just maybe, Huawei’s wearables are ready to shake off their reputation as niche.
The FIT series gets sleeker — and smarter
Huawei’s WATCH FIT line has always been about minimalism and movement: think long battery life, lightweight design, and an easy on-ramp into the world of wearables. From the company’s recent social teasers, the FIT 4 Series doesn’t appear to stray from that formula.
But the design looks slightly more refined — slimmer bezels, a sleeker square profile, and colour options that appear better suited for people who don’t want their wrist tech screaming “gym rat.” In other words, very 2025.
And the specs? A few are starting to slip through. The FIT 4 Pro could introduce a built-in air pressure sensor for elevation data, a Golf Course Mode for casual (but competitive) players, and even water-based route tracking. You know, for the weekend paddleboarder who also tracks their VO2 Max.
Meanwhile, the WATCH 5 sounds… wild
Where the FIT Series keeps things light, the leaked HUAWEI WATCH 5 sounds like something entirely new. The standout feature? A pressure-sensitive fingertip sensor located on the side of the watch.
That sensor isn’t just for touch — it’s reportedly able to detect different levels of pressure and gestures. The idea, according to sources, is layered haptic feedback and new input methods. You might squeeze, tap, or press-and-hold your way through workouts, messages, and menus — all with a single button.
There’s also talk of Huawei’s upgraded TruSense health system, which combines that fingertip sensor with existing wrist-based sensors to create a more precise, context-aware data model. The goal? More accurate health readings, fewer false alerts, and maybe even early detection features we haven’t seen yet.
All signs point to a big launch
Huawei hasn’t confirmed the WATCH 5 outright, but with two models already teased and a flood of leaks lining up, the 15 May launch event in Berlin is shaping up to be one of the company’s most interesting wearable reveals in years.
And with rivals like Samsung and Apple focusing heavily on AI health features and predictive wellness, Huawei might be trying to leapfrog ahead with hardware-centric innovation instead.
Reframed will be on the ground in Berlin to bring you full coverage of the Huawei smartwatches reveal on 15 May. Expect live updates, first impressions, and a deep dive into how these devices stack up against the competition.
🔍 What the rumours say
- The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 and FIT 4 Pro are expected to run on HarmonyOS, with extended battery life and deeper integration into Huawei’s Health app.
- The FIT 4 Series could also feature updated workout modes, including support for new water sports, based on code spotted in recent firmware updates.
- The WATCH 5 might include a new “Super-Sensing Module” — part of Huawei’s distributed sensor system — combining real-time fingertip and wrist data.
- Price leaks suggest the FIT 4 could start around $99 (±R1,850) and the Pro around $139 (±R2,600). The WATCH 5, if it exists, may breach the $250+ mark.
