The device, which comes with aluminum casing, is available in two colours – Moonlight Silver and Titanium Grey.
Huawei said: “It bridges the gap between a smartwatch and a fitness tracker, with a 
stylish design and standard band sizes so you can easily swap for a customized look.”
The tracker automatically senses when the wearer is walking, running and sleeping, and monitors these activities.
It can record the number of steps, distance, calories burned and duration of sleep of the users.
The Huawei Wear app enables users to set goals and the Huawei Fit will track progress throughout the day.
For accurate heart rate measurements, the device incorporates unique skin color detection algorithms to account for different skin tones.
During exercise and training modes, the watch will display five heart rate zones in real time.
These zones are divided according to the activity: warm up, fat burning, aerobic endurance, anaerobic endurance and maximum effort.
The watch will vibrate to alert the user whenever the heart rate approaches the maximum effort zone.
Huawei said: “Paired with the Huawei Wear app, users can review a daily heart rate curve, including minimum and maximum rates and resting heart rate. It can also provide a health assessment based on heart rate statistics over time.”
It supports multiple forms of exercise, including walking, running, cycling, treadmill workouts and swimming, with different modes monitoring different data.
Featuring technology from FirstBeat, Huawei Fit can design running plans, give real time guidance during a session, and export reports upon session completion.
The Huawei Fit has an 80mAh battery that lasts for six days with normal use and up to 30 days in standby mode.
