The FetchYourBody2020 hashtag, inspired by the Huawei Watch Fit, has been trending for most of 2020. It showed that South Africans’ determination to stay fit despite lockdown and the general state of the world.

Many were unable to attend the gym this year and not everyone was fortunate enough to have a home gym. If you weren’t able to return to the gym since the recent opening, we have good news.

Huawei’s latest wearable – the Watch Fit – may prove to be the perfect companion they need. In short, it’s a personal trainer on your wrist if you are striving for fitness.

HUAWEI WATCH FIT: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

FITNESS MOTIVATION WHEN YOU NEED

The journey to fitness can be rewarding and frustrating at the same time. If you don’t go about it the right way, you’ll be met with nothing but impatience and disappointment.

A lack of dedication or motivation can also hinder the process. If you’re doing this workout and fitness journey on your own, Huawei’s smart fitness watch will keep you on the right track.

Huawei introduced the Watch Fit to the South African audience back in September 2020. It has more than 90 workout modes. That includes 11 professional modes and 85 general workout modes.

The Watch Fit is specifically designed to give consumers all the motivation and information they need to excel in their fitness endeavours, and the battery will last a whopping ten days.

TRACK YOUR FITNESS JOURNEY

You will be able to track almost all elements of your health, from heart rate and heart rate zone right through to calories, exercise time, workout data and sleep patterns.

“The device goes even further than that and is able to record your daily activities including steps, medium and high-intensity exercises, and the hours of standing to measure activity level. After that, the device is able to provide a progress chart to encourage user’s to keep active, and keep moving”.

Worried about injuring yourself? Huawei has that covered too. The Watch Fit is equipped with more than 40 different posture demonstrations.

This gives you a visual illustration of the exact form you should be following to avoid any injury or over-exertion. At the end of your workout, the Watch Fit generates valuable data.

This includes but is not limited to speed per kilometre and heart rate distribution to help improve future workouts and performance.

INTELLIGENT SLEEP MONITORING

We all know that sleep is important for our wellbeing, especially when our workout sessions include running or lifting weights. Your body and muscles need time to recover.

If you skimp on your sleep, you’d end up with unwanted side effects such as sustained physical fatigue, a lack of motivation and impaired immune system functioning.

Enter the Huawei Watch Fit’s scientific sleep stage tracking, the TruSleep™ 2.0. It is “deeply optimised to track sleep stage monitoring, real-time heart rate monitoring, sleep respiration quality and big data analysis to score sleep quality”.

“The device provides scientific suggestions on how to address the identified sleep issue, such as early waking or light sleep”.
