According to reports, Huawei is expected to launch a new Mate V foldable phone and the Watch D, the latter of which will support blood pressure monitoring for the first time in Huawei’s history.
Recently, a Weibo blogger shared hands-on photos of the Huawei Watch D. The blogger said the photos were taken at Huawei’s annual fan event. He personally tested this smartwatch, and the results showed that its accuracy is quite reliable.
The hands-on photos show that the new Watch D features a square dial with slightly curved edges on the screen. The right side of the dial has two physical buttons, labeled Home and Health.
As mentioned earlier, the core function of this watch is to measure the wearer’s blood pressure and pulse. According to sources, the watch integrates an internal pressurized bag to simulate the actual blood pressure measurement process, thereby improving measurement accuracy.
In addition, this watch also features an electrocardiogram function and supports all standard health monitoring features, including heart rate, electrocardiogram, and blood pressure measurements.
At Huawei’s Fans Annual Event (2021), He Gang, President of Huawei’s Consumer Business Mobile Product Line, stated that Huawei is currently developing wearable blood pressure monitoring devices and will collaborate with renowned institutions to launch hypertension management research, exploring a full-process solution from screening to early intervention.
In May 2021, Huawei announced a breakthrough in wearable blood pressure measurement technology research, and its first blood pressure measurement device (smartwatch) had passed medical device registration testing.
