[REVIEW] Huawei's Watch Fit 4 Pro an Apple watch killer?
The wearables offer strong value, with class-leading tracking and health features for the price. The Huawei Watch Fit 4 series, for the first time, includes a Pro version. The standard variant offers a minor update over its predecessor, but the Pro takes a big step forward, The brand new Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro, looks like a mini Apple Watch Ultra, but the price is also mini in comparison. Key features Some key details of the device include the watch being made of Titanium/aerospace aluminium and weighing just 30.4 grams. The Fit 4 Pro is the thinnest Fit to date, measuring just 9.3 mm, and features the Huawei TruSense System sensors. In fact, it's thinner than an Oreo cookie The first thing that caught my attention is the screen – the Watch Fit 4 Pro is built around a 1.82″ AMOLED display that is incredibly bright, with excellent legibility even in direct sunlight. Huawei claims an impressive peak brightness of 3,000 nits, matching the far more premium Watch 5 wearable. The pixel density is better than the Apple Watch Series 9's 45 mm's 326 PPI, and its peak brightness is also 33% higher than that of the much more expensive series. ALSO READ: Huawei unveils new Watch Fit 4 series and Watch 5 in Berlin Sensors The Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro ticks a lot of boxes and comes with an impressive set of sensors and features rivalling more premium and high-end models both in Huawei's own GT series and also among the company's competitors It uses Huawei's TruSense System, which features upgraded sensors and new algorithms to measure 60 different health indicators across six body systems. The Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro comes with deep health tracking capabilities, such as ECG, arterial stiffness detection, SpO2 measurements, sleep tracking, and temperature readings. Golf It also has over 1,500 golf courses, deep-sea diving modes, over 100 sports modes, and offline maps with contour lines, among other features. Huawei's tried and tested Sunflower GPS pairs with reliable health and fitness tracking to round out the experience. The Green version comes with a matching nylon woven strap, but you can get additional straps – like the ones from the Black and Blue versions. These straps are made from fluoroelastomer and come with a traditional clasp. As someone with hairy wrists, I appreciated that the Pro's digital crown didn't tug at my arm hair. ALSO READ: Smartwatch market expands as Huawei sets date for Berlin launch [VIDEO] Software and charging The Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro runs on HarmonyOS version 5.1. It requires the Huawei Health app, but it will work with both Android- and iOS-based phones once you have the app installed. The pairing process is simple enough; you scan a QR code with your phone and follow the steps afterwards. The battery inside the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro is rated at 400 mAh. Huawei advertises seven days on a single charge with regular use and up to ten days max, but you can get more with conservative use. I got about ten days and there was still 29% juice left, which could last another day., Charging speeds are solid, with the Watch Fit 4 Pro charging slightly faster than the standard model. After 20 minutes of charge time, the battery hit about 35%, and reached 90% within an hour, with a full charge taking just slightly longer. Verdict Both the Watch Fit 4 and Watch Fit 4 Pro pack a lot into two undeniably Apple Watch–inspired bodies. The entry-level Watch Fit 4 is a lightweight, affordable fitness tracker with excellent battery life, while the pricier Pro adds a more durable titanium alloy frame, sapphire glass, and an aluminium alloy body. It also unlocks advanced health and fitness features, including ECG support, diving, and golf sports modes. The Watch Fit 4 Pro's inclusion of ECG support helps justify its higher price. Syncing with third-party services can be limited, there's no real third-party app ecosystem, and features like mobile payments or a voice assistant are missing, but none of these feel like a dealbreaker. Availability and pricing The wearables offer strong value, with class-leading tracking and health features for the price. Both the Watch Fit 4 and Watch Fit 4 Pro are expected to go on sale in South Africa on 2nd June. The Watch Fit 4 is available in Black, Grey, Purple, and White, while the Pro comes in Black, Blue, and Green, with Grey and Green options As for recommended pricing, the Watch Fit 4 will go for R2 999, while the Watch Fit 4 Pro will cost R4 999.

Whether you're into Francophone authors, French films ('The Count of Monte Cristo,' 'Linda veut du poulet!'), concerts, family workshops, or even digital art in November, this festival's basically a year-round cultural playlist. Right now, the French Film Festival is rolling through: Kuala Lumpur: until 25th May Penang: 22nd May to 1st June Johor Bahru: 29th May to 1st June Laurent Elisio Bordier of AFKL says this spread-out format helps each programme shine and ties in with ocean conservation ahead of the UN conference in Nice.

Shoppers can bag free earbuds by ditching Apple and Samsung
Amazon is throwing in a pair of earbuds with Huawei's new smartwatch that works with Apple iOS and Android phones Amazon shoppers in the market for a new smartwatch can bag a pair of earbuds if they ditch Apple and Samsung models. The retail giant is currently offering the new Huawei Watch Fit 4 with a pair of FreeBuds SE 2 for £149.99 – a saving of £39.99. A similar deal is available direct from Huawei, which will knock off an extra £20 with the coupon code AFIT420OFF, but does not include the free buds. The alternative to the Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch ranges works with both iOS and Android devices, offering a much more cost-effective option than these premium brands. The Apple Watch Series 10 and the Galaxy Watch7 would set Amazon customers back £329 and £294 respectively. The Huawei model comes in a choice of six colours including black, blue, green and silver, each boasting an 'ultra-slim' 9.5mm design and 1.8' AMOLED display. It offers a variety of health and fitness tools, including tracking for different workouts, from mountain climbing and hiking, to skiing and trail running, plus monitoring of sleep, heart rate, steps and more. Other basic functions include Bluetooth calls and real-time notifications from texts and social media. The Fit 4 has a powerful battery capable of running for up to 10 days, with a quick 10-minute charge providing a day of power, depending on usage. It can also be customised with countless watch faces, but it's worth noting that the watch strap cannot be removed from the body and therefore can't be changed. Shoppers seeking a more premium option without hurting the wallet may want to opt for Sky Mobile's smartwatch deals, where models like the Apple Watch SE and Samsung Galaxy Watch7 are available for £7 and £9 respectively. To get these prices means committing to a 36-month contract, but there's no upfront cost with either watch. The jury's out on how the Huawei Watch Fit 4 compares to its rivals. As a new product, it has only received one review, but that user awarded it a perfect five-stars. They said: 'It's packed with smart features and really impressed me more than I expected. The screen is so bright and clear, it really looks and feels premium. The design is sleek and minimal, it's incredibly light and thin, and both the watch and the app are really easy to use. 'What truly sold me was the promised 10-day battery life. Coming from an Apple Watch, I didn't think that was even possible, but the Huawei Fit 4 actually delivers on that. One of my favourite features [is] the warm-up guidance before workouts [which] walks me through stretches and prep so I don't injure myself, which I've never had on a watch before. 'Plus, the support for up to 100 different workout modes is insane. I'm still exploring them all.'
