Huawei’s Apple Watch-like rectangular clock is getting better. Bigger screen, Bluetooth calls: The Watch Fit 2 offers a lot for half the price of its Californian competitor. At the cost of some limitations, though.
Simple and pleasant to use, the Huawei Watch Fit 2 offers good overall performance. Without excelling in one particular area, he turns out to be homogeneous and also quite capable when it comes to practicing sports – if you don’t expect extreme precision from him. Too bad its software ecosystem is no longer complete.
Highlights
- Clearly legible rectangular AMOLED screen.
- Light.
- Heart rate monitoring generally satisfactory.
- Good battery life and fast charging.
- Make calls via Bluetooth.
Weaknesses
- Few compatible apps.
- Limited interactions with third-party services (music streaming, Strava, etc.).
- Voice assistant only compatible with Huawei smartphones.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the day’s lowest price with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with safety rules to exclude prices from shops whose VAT policy does not is clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of Chinese imports).
An alternative
The Xiaomi Mi Watch is a good connected watch, suitable for moderate sports thanks to its integrated GPS. It benefits from a circular format, but is actually more imposing than the previously tested Lite version. This format gives it the advantage of giving the illusion of a “real” watch, even if its plastic design quickly reminds it of its status as a technological product without any real charm. Its minimalistic interface is practical to manage on a daily basis. It is helped by the two physical buttons and a comfortable AMOLED screen. Finally, its two-week battery life is clearly its best asset.
