The Watch 5 Lite supports Bluetooth calling alongside a speaker and dual microphones with environmental noise cancellation (ENC) technology, aimed at delivering clear call quality in various environments.
As for the fitness features, there is a heart rate sensor, complemented by support for over 150 indoor and outdoor sports modes. The device’s versatility extends to aquatic activities, with 5 ATM water resistance enabling accurate swimming performance tracking.
Additional features include a multi-functional side button for easy navigation, built-in GPS for accurate location tracking, and a SpO2 sensor for blood oxygen monitoring. The smartwatch also incorporates Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity.
