In December 2021, Huawei unveiled the Watch D, its first smartwatch with blood pressure monitoring. The wearable was not anticipated to be released outside of the home market, but it did so in May 2022.
There was no arrival date provided; however, the price was set at €449. The exact same information was presented by Huawei during its IFA 2022 keynote in Berlin, but now the company has finally made the Watch D’s October 12 arrival in Germany public.
Given that the Huawei wristwatch has a built-in blood pressure monitor, it costs more than the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro at this price point. Additionally, it has a skin temperature sensor, an electrocardiogram (ECG), a heart rate monitor, and a SpO2 sensor that can measure blood oxygen levels.
The high-hardness aviation aluminum body of the Huawei Watch D was specially manufactured for it to be more durable and scratch-resistant. It has a 1.64-inch HD display with a pixel density of 326PPI. The device has an IP68 classification for water and dust protection, making it the first watch with blood pressure monitoring capabilities to have such a grade in the industry.
Additionally, it enables heart rate detection using an eight-channel, highly sensitive optical sensor and has support for more than 70 different sports. When using all of the features, the manufacturer claims that the gadget should last for seven days on a single charge. The smartwatch also supports wireless charging.
