Huawei Watch 5 and Watch Fit 4 unveiled in Berlin alongside new earbuds & tablet
Huawei has taken the wraps off its new range of wearables including a flagship smartwatch available in two sizes and eight colours to suit every stylish need. The pioneering Chinese tech firm also announced a new fitness wearable, new earphones and a cutting-edge tablet to take on Apple iPad Pro just like last year's MatePad Pro which we tested and found had the best display tech on any tablet you can buy. The new wearables join the company's Watch D2 which late last year became the world's first certified wrist-based ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) device. Huawei's summer 2025 wearables follow the company's long standing tradition of being compatible with both iOS and Android devices and deliver at least week-long battery life and are among the most powerful health and fitness trackers you can buy. You can make or take phone calls on them and keep in touch with your smartphone notifications as much or as little as you like. Here's everything you need to know about the four products Huawei launched for summer 2025… The latest flagship Huawei wearable comes in two sizes, 42mm and 46mm, and eight colours including two new hues, purple and sand gold. The stylish smartwatch comes with aerospace-grade titanium, a premium stainless steel casing, spherical sapphire glass, with the promise of exceptional corrosion and wear resistance. Previous Huawei watches I tested have all been super durable. Tech on board Watch 5 includes the firm's TruSense System which integrates a new multi-sensing set-up that enables users to perform health monitoring effortlessly with fingertip measurements that the company said results in more accurate and comprehensive health insights. Gesture controls on the wearable have been enhanced too. Huawei's main fitness wearable Watch Fit 4 comes in two options, one covering essential needs, with a Pro model adding offline contour maps, checkpoint navigation and a professional trail running mode. The series also introduces water sports tracking and a new air pressure sensor that the company said boosts outdoor sports data measurement accuracy. The Pro model also introduces high-end materials such as sapphire glass and aviation-grade aluminium casings with titanium alloy bezels. Featuring an ultra-thin and comfortable build, the Watch Fit 4 Pro is just 9.3mm thin. It supports advanced sports modes such as diving to a depth of up to 40 metres and pro-level golfing. Like all Huawei wearables, the new devices ensure you suffer no daily recharging anxiety as they all come with incredible stamina. This means they are perfect for travel, long training sessions or weekend getaways. The company's new open-fit earbuds Freebuds 6 are equipped with a dual-driver audio system, delivering strong, punchy bass, sweet trebles and support for high-resolution formats. Huawei said features like Stable and Clear Calls mean users will get fuss-free communication. One of the biggest selling points of the new earphones is the sleek, ergonomic droplet design that the firm said is a perfect balance between comfort and style. Hot on the heels of last year's incredible tablet is another 12.2in tablet boasting the supreme Tandem OLED PaperMatte Display to boost screen brightness while enhancing anti-glare and anti-reflection capabilities. The included Huawei Glide Keyboard delivers a PC-standard typing and carrying experience, and comes with a handy charging compartment that can store the stylus. Huawei Watch 5 is available now from the Huawei Store, with prices starting from €499.99 for both the 42mm and 46mm models. Huawei Watch Fit 4 costs €169.99 and Watch Fit 4 Pro costs €279.99.

Huawei Boosts Smartwatch Sales by Registering Them as Medical Devices
Huawei Technologies Co. has found an unlikely way to boost sales of its latest smartwatches in the face of sluggish consumer spending in China: by registering them as medical devices. After the launch of Huawei's new Watch D2 smartwatch in November, buyers discovered they can charge it to their medical insurance rather than paying for it themselves. Since then, the watch has proven so popular at Chinese pharmacies that some have required customers to pre-order, while others have seen stock quickly sold out, according to media reports and social media posts.
