Huawei keeps expanding its wearable portfolio, with the latest addition being the Watch Fit Mini. It has a rectangular screen, but the body is slightly taller and narrower, as well as lighter than any other Watch Fit wearable so far. The Mini variant has a smaller screen, lighter body, but retains all the features from its bigger sibling, as well as long battery life and physical button on the side.
The rectangular display is a 1.47” AMOLED
with support for touch and slide gestures. The resolution is 368 x 194 pixels,
which is 282 ppi. The body weighs 20 grams and there are three options for a
strap - Frosty White, and Mocha Brown made out of leather, or Taro Purple which
is a fluoroelastomer strap. There is a six-axis IMU sensor that is used as a
gyroscope and an accelerometer on board as well as a heart rate sensor on the
back. It also handles SpO2 metering - that’s the level of oxygen in the blood,
and when the result is under 80%, the Watch Fit Mini will immediately suggest
you to see a medical specialist.
The battery capacity is 180mAh and it is
advertised to last 14 days of typical usage on a single charge, while power
users should expect to go 10 days between charges. Women will appreciate the
new feature Huawei’s Lite OS brings, called Cycle Calendar. They will receive
discreet timely reminders when their period is coming and the accompanying
Huawei Health app has a neat calendar to keep track of.
There are 96 different indoor and outdoor
exercise modes, and the wearable can track daily and nightly activity,
including sleep through the well-known TruSleep 2.0 feature that reportedly
offers details about sleep quality with up to 96% accuracy. The Huawei Watch
Fit Mini is already available for purchase in some European countries like
Germany and Italy. It is priced at € 99 (US$ 115) and the company
throws a free scale (originally between € 40 and € 70), as well as Runtastic
Premium membership (€ 10) for one month.
