Huawei takes on Apple Watch Ultra with cheaper “Pro” wearable

Smartwatches may be a crowded space, but there’s always room for good price competition. That’s the aim of Huawei, launching its Watch Fit 4 and Watch Fit 4 Pro wearables in Australia, taking on the top end of town.

It’s easy to baulk at the premium entries when you see the $1,399 Apple Watch Ultra and the $1,299 Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. Both are great watches, albeit limited to those who can afford them. At $469 locally, the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro is cheaper than both competitors’ mid-range wearables, while the $299 non-pro version is even less punishing on wallets.

Compatible with both iOS and Android devices, the Watch Fit 4 Pro is Huawei’s more durable smartwatch. It lasts up to 10 days on a single charge, using a 1.82-inch AMOLED display that cranks up to 3,000 nits of brightness.

As you’d expect of modern wearables, the watch includes more than a hundred workout types, GPS and heart-rate tracking, and the ability to automatically detect when you’re working out. Huawei positions the Watch Fit 4 Pro as a golfer’s companion too, supporting local and overseas course data while tracking the distance of your shots.

There are a few differences between the Pro and non-pro versions of Huawei’s watch, from both a design and features perspective. For starters, the Pro’s bezel uses a titanium alloy, while the base model is entirely made from an aluminium alloy. Huawei’s standard model is also dimmer (2,000 nits) and doesn’t support diving like the Pro. Other Pro-exclusive features per the spec sheet include temperature, ECG, and depth sensors.

Pre-orders are open now for both watches, including a launch offer from JB Hi-Fi. Pre-ordering the standard Fit 4 comes with a $50 gift card from JB, while the Pro model includes a $100 gift card.
