NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
Simple and pleasant to use, the Huawei Watch Fit 2 offers good general benefits. Without excelling in any particular area, it proves to be homogeneous and even quite capable when it comes to practicing sporting activities – if extreme precision is not expected of it. It’s a shame that its software ecosystem is not more complete.
