Huawei Fit Activity Tracker Launched

Its latest fitness/exercise tracker looks just like a watch, and a nice looking one at that. So you got a convenient excuse ready when seen wearing it. But it still works beautifully hard at what it does. Which are:tracking your steps, monitoring your heart rate, counting the bounteous calories and gauging your sleep quality and pattern.You can take it jogging and even skinny dipping since it has a water resistant rating of IP68. Just don’t expect your swimming and fishy exploits to be recorded though, least not till a software update arrives on a canoe sometime next year.

The beautifully round screen is a 1.04 inches LCD touchscreen display with a resolution of 208 x 208, which is incidentally exceptionally bright and clear. So, outdoor usability and readability should not be a problem. The battery is a tiny 80 mAh that should last for around 30 days on standby and six days of normal use. Charging time for the device is around 2 hours.

Its additional features are a 6-axis motion sensor, a capacitive sensor that automatically detects when you wear it, an ambient light sensor, a micro USB 2.0 port, a four-pin magnetic charging port and Bluetooth. You can also conveniently pair the device with a smartphone and receive notifications for calls and messages.
