Built for Mzanzi life: The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series does it all

Built for Mzanzi life: The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series does it all

From early commutes and late-night study sessions to weekend braais, gym goals, and everything in between, South Africans need devices that work as hard as they do. The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series has landed, and it's built for real life. Whether you choose the accessible HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 or the premium-grade HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro, you're getting a smart companion that tracks your health, keeps you motivated, and lets you express your style, without breaking the bank.
Available immediately, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 comes in black, purple, white, and grey from R2 999.00, or you can add it to your Vodacom, Telkom or CellC plan from just R99 per month over 36 months. The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro is available in iconic green, black and blue from R4 999.00, or from only R149 per month over 36 months on the same networks. T's & C's apply.
No matter what your day holds, both models feel great on the wrist. The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 is sleek at just 27 grams and 9.5mm thin, featuring a lightweight glass and aluminium frame that pairs effortlessly with gym gear or casual wear.
The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro is slightly more robust at 30.4 grams and 9.3mm thin, crafted from aviation-grade aluminium with a titanium alloy bezel and sapphire glass for added durability, which is perfect if your weekends involve hiking, road trips or a little more adventure.
We know it's bright outside, and these displays are ready for it. Both watches feature a large 1.82-inch AMOLED screen, but the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro takes brightness all the way up to 3,000 nits (versus 2,000 on the WATCH FIT 4). That means your data, messages and motivation stay visible whether you're running in midday heat or catching an evening outdoor workout.
The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 helps you move more, sleep better and stress less, with intelligent tracking that's easy to use. With new sport modes (including trail running, climbing and snow sports), improved GPS accuracy and heart rate variability monitoring, it's a strong entry point for anyone starting a health journey.
You'll also love the Emotional Wellbeing Assistant. A gentle, mood-aware feature that tracks your stress levels and helps you build better habits.
The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro brings it all, from Advanced Terrain Map Tracking and offline trail maps to route navigation and dedicated sports modes. Whether you're into cycling, golf, diving, or running, this is a performance-focused wearable that can handle the elements while delivering pinpoint metrics.
Features like Diving Mode (up to 40m), Golf Course Mode (15,000+ mapped courses), and Breath-Hold Training show how far Huawei has gone to make the WATCH FIT 4 Pro a serious tool for active users.
At the core of the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro is Huawei's TruSense System, a next-gen sensor platform that tracks everything from ECG and blood oxygen to breathing, sleep quality and stress.
For women, there's temperature-based menstrual cycle tracking on the Pro, while both models include symptom logging and calendar-style views via the HUAWEI Health app.
You can't always plug in, and with up to 10 days of battery life on a single charge, you won't need to. The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 charges in 75 minutes, and the WATCH FIT 4 Pro in just 60. That's ideal for weekends away, long workdays, or just avoiding yet another charger in your life.
Customise your watch face with stickers, photos, and performance widgets. Choose from colours that suit your vibe. Whether you're at varsity, on the school run, or prepping for your next 5KM's, this is a watch that fits you, your goals, your look, and your lifestyle.
Available now from R2 999.00 for the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 and R4 999.00 for the FIT 4 Pro at the HUAWEI online store, or add it to your Vodacom, Telkom, or CellC plan from just R99 per month or R149 per month, respectively, over 36 months. T's & C's apply.

Foldable Truths in 2025: What South Africans Really Want from Their Next Smartphone

Staff Reporter | Published 1 hour ago In South Africa, Foldable phones are no longer a novelty. They've matured beyond their early teething problems, shifting from futuristic flex to functional form. Many global players are entering the market with sleeker designs, improved hinges and bigger promises, but beneath the hype, consumers are increasingly asking smarter questions. Beyond the Hype: Foldables Face Their Reality Check There's no shortage of headlines promising 'the most powerful' or 'the thinnest' foldable phone. The real test is clearer for South Africans Will it last a full day without a charge? Can it handle two SIMs? Does it work outside under our sun, not just inside a launch demo? Foldable smartphones are no longer just a flex. They're talked about as everyday technology, still cutting edge, but with more expectations built in – tech that has to prove itself practically. This means addressing real-life pain points such as battery life, durability, multitasking, and day-to-day usability across different networks and apps. The reality is, though, many of the most talked-about devices still appear to compromise with trade-offs. What most users want to avoid is: Short battery endurance Bulky designs that don't fold flat Fragile hinge mechanics over time Limited SIM flexibility Software ecosystems that limit choice For South African users, who often rely on dual-SIM setups, experience power cuts, and move across multiple apps and languages in a day, these trade-offs aren't just inconvenient. They're deal-breakers. This is where the HONOR Magic V5 arrives with a quieter, but more meaningful kind of innovation, addressing the challenges directly. Instead of headline chasing, HONOR has focused on folding function back into form, with a foldable that's thin, yes, but also powerful, durable and considerate of how people live. 'We didn't build the Magic V5 to win a spec sheet,' says Fred Zhou, CEO of HONOR South Africa. 'We built it to win long-term trust.' The Magic V5 comes in at just 6.43mm thin when unfolded, with a reinforced titanium hinge, up to 5,820mAh battery, as well as dual nano-SIM support. Its AMOLED display is glare-resistant, designed for use under bright skies, not just in glossy press events. Importantly, it doesn't force users into a closed app or ecosystem environment. It plays well with others, including the full Google-native suite. Industry-leading 8.8 mm thickness Super Steel Hinge IP58 & IP59 Dust and Water Resistance Magic Portal 2.0 (which is shareable with iOS & MacOS) Dual SIM cards are available And it includes an impressive up to 5820mAh battery Mzansi moves fast, from entrepreneurs to students, content creators to lovers of the latest tech, we expect devices that adapt. Now, battery endurance, app flexibility, multi-SIM support and durability aren't just nice-to-haves. They're non-negotiables. 'A phone should adapt to your life, not the other way around,' says Zhou. 'That's the philosophy behind every part of the Magic V5. It's premium but also practical. Smart but real.' HONOR's Magic V5 introduces smarter software, power-saving modes built for unpredictable loadshedding, and a screen that survives in real bags, not just velvet-lined demo boxes. In 2025 and beyond, South Africans don't want louder launches. They want phones that last longer, work harder - devices don't get in the way, but walk the journey with you. The HONOR Magic V5 isn't trying to out-shout its competition. It's quietly raising the standard and folding the noise out. HONOR is a leading global provider of smart devices. It is dedicated to becoming a global iconic technology brand and creating a new intelligent world for everyone through its powerful products and services. With an unwavering focus on R&D, it is committed to developing technology that empowers people around the globe to go beyond, giving them the freedom to achieve and do more. Offering a range of high-quality smartphones, tablets, laptops and wearables to suit every budget, HONOR's portfolio of innovative, premium and reliable products enables people to become a better version of themselves.
