HUAWEI launches highly-anticipated smartwatch with up to 10-day battery life
Whether you're an avid gym goer or simply want to track your daily steps, there's no better way to ace your fitness goals than with a smartwatch.
If you're in the market for a new model with all the tech-savvy features, HUAWEI just launched its latest model; the FIT 4 Pro Smartwatch, with a surprisingly affordable price tag.
A one-stop shop for tracking daily activities, monitoring sleep, taking calls and receiving notifications from your smartphone, it's noticeably light to wear at just 27g, with a comfortable band and incredible 10-day battery life.
HUAWEI makes it easier than ever to track all kinds of movement, including pro-level outdoor sports like freediving, trail runs and even golf (it can map out an entire course and help you fine-tune your swing).
Compatible with most iOS and Android devices, get set to ace any kind of fitness goal with the latest HUAWEI model as your motivator.
Retailing for just $469 at Amazon Australia — it's currently $150 cheaper than the latest Apple Watch 2025 model.
Shoppers are embracing active lifestyles more than ever (say hello to ever-growing run clubs), with studies showing that over 19 million Aussies have a love for sports and the outdoors.
Of that sky-high number, running, swimming and golf are all big players, with thousands choosing to take the tracks, courses and water.
That's why HUAWEI tailored the FIT 4 Pro to appeal to the masses, offering extensive tracking features across the most popular sports and outdoor activities.
Thanks to the tech-savvy smartwatch, you can now track performance on the trail, precision at the golf course and endurance in the water up to 40 meters.
At just 27 grams, the WATCH FIT 4 is slim and smooth, perfect for everyday wear, including during the night to enable sleep monitoring.
It also features an advanced heart rate and blood oxygen (SpO₂) monitoring, delivering precise, real-time insights into cardiovascular performance and respiratory health.
The newly-launched device also offers enhanced Menstrual Cycle Management tools, allowing shoppers to track symptoms and notice any irregularities.
Tried & Tested
7News' tech-wizard Sonny Loudon got his hands on the new arrival to see if it lives up the highly-anticipated hype.
Cost
With a smartphone already in my back pocket and a laptop and headphones in my bag it was always a hard sell the idea of forking out more money for ANOTHER device.
But as technology has moved in leaps and bounds you don't need to spend an arm and a leg anymore to have a smartwatch with all the bells and whistles — this watch, priced under $500, is a case in point.
Battery Life
There isn't anything more frustrating than realising you forgot to charge your devices overnight and being left with a dead piece of aluminium and glass that you can't use.
This was a major factor in me not becoming an early adopter of smart watches, but with up to 10 days of battery life it hasn't materialised as a real concern or even a factor in deciding whether or not to throw the smartwatch on my wrist everyday.
The biggest selling point for me in any new piece of tech is how well it disappears. Daily driving the Watch Fit 4 Pro I can honestly say I forgot I was wearing a smart watch! It's lightweight, low profile and only the notifications I want to come through make it to my wrist.

TARIFF UPDATE US president Donald Trump's tariffs are making headlines again today after hitting a bit of a road bump. It's been a back and forth battle in the world of US Tariffs. A tariff is a tax, or an extra cost, that governments put on products that come from another country. The idea is to encourage companies make their products locally. So how did we get here? At the start of April President Trump announced he'd be using his power as president to put tariffs on all imports to the US from around the world. But just yesterday the U.S. Court of International Trade said nope, because the president wasn't allowed to do that without approval from congress. The next day, the president's team appealed the court decision and won, which means for now the tariffs are still tariffing at least for now. The new court decision just puts a pause on the old court decision, so things could change again. COVID STRAIN Experts are worried about a new strain of COVID-19 that's spreading across the country. The NB.1.8.1 variant was first identified in January and health authorities think it could spread faster and more easily. So, they're urging Aussies to get a COVID-19 booster vaccine. STATE OF ORIGIN The State of Origin women's series has ended on a bit of a sour note for New South Wales. Despite winning the series after dominating in the first two games, Queensland came up trumps in game 3 last night to deny the Blues a clean sweep. DINO SCHOOL Now to rural Queensland, where a school found out that a rock sitting in its foyer is 200 million years old and covered in dinosaur footprints. About twenty years ago, this school in Biloela was given a slab of rock from a nearby mine. Then it just kind of sat in the foyer. But then one day, the school's head teacher decided to take a closer look and called in an expert. Dr Romilio then chucked some silicon on it to make a copy so he could study it and discovered it's covered in real dinosaur footprints. He reckons it was probably a shallow river-bed that a small two legged dinosaur, called an Ornithischian, used like a road, or more like a highway because there's so many footprints! 66 of them across 13 different tracks, making this two-hundred-million year old rock a very rare piece our country's dinosaur past. FAKE SAUSAGE ROLL First up, to a real sausage roll. A real fake one. Yes, this is a very realistic wax model, painstakingly created by the team at Madame Tussauds. After making a mould of the clay sculpture, they cast a copy using wax, and spent a long time painting it to get it looking just right. It'll go on display in London ahead of their national sausage roll day on the 5th of June. REPLICA SHIP Now, staying in London, where another real replica is on display. This is a copy of the ship on which famous explorer Christopher Columbus sailed when he reached the Americas back in the 15th century. Arguably one of the most famous ships in all of history, this replica is kitted out with period-accurate cannons and journals. It's open to the public to explore before it sets off again next month. CROCODILE CLASS At a crocodile park in Morocco, young people are learning the important role reptiles – including crocs – play in the wild. It's part of a special program run by the park, which says it's really important to teach the next generation all about the environment.

Are Aussies finally jumping on board the futuristic luxury of smart toilets?
They're one of the most used seats in the house, but it's fair to say Aussies haven't given much thought to the good ole dunny, let alone high-tech versions. In nations such as Japan however, smart toilets aren't viewed as a futuristic luxury, but a part of modern living. The idea of needing more than a basic toilet may have raised eyebrows on our shores in the past, but perceptions are rapidly shifting. Australians are getting a taste of the luxury, with the Japan National Tourism Organization reporting that travel to the tech-driven nation was up 42 per cent between January and September 2024, compared to the same period in 2019. Daniela Santilli, Reece Bathrooms and Kitchen merchandising leader says with advancements in temperature technology, water efficiency and hygiene, smart toilets are now more than just comfort, they're also about sustainability and wellbeing. "As Australians continue to invest in wellness-inspired living, the trend towards investing in luxury bathroom features, like smart toilets, shows no signs of slowing down," Santilli said. As Australians become more tech-savvy and conscious of environmental impact and personal health, the adoption of smart toilets is gaining momentum. While there are many features available, there are five game-changers you should know: 1. Heated seats ensure you never have to endure cold seats in the morning. This advanced heating technology provides a warm and cosy throne, allowing users to adjust the temperature to their preference. 2. Next-level technology (such as the Roca In-Wash Inspira Smart Toilet and the Roca In-Wash Inspira In-Tank Smart Toilet), redefine bathroom luxury with innovative features such as adjustable pressure and temperature, cisternless technologies, hygienic bowl treatments and elegant aesthetics. 3. Spa-like vibes transform your bathroom into a wellness retreat, elevating overall hygiene and comfort. 4. Self-cleaning magic makes cleaning your toilet easier, with features including a self-cleaning nozzle, rimless designs, removable seats and added protective bowl treatments. 5. Using less water for each flush makes smart toilets more eco-friendly. The only question left is: are we ready to flush away the old ways and embrace the future?
