Ever since the launch of the Huawei Watch D, many China-based manufacturers have launched their own versions of smartwatches capable of blood pressure and ECG monitoring. They cost a fraction of the price of the Watch D, but in turn, their accuracy cannot be taken as gospel when it comes to features like blood pressure monitoring.
North Edge has launched one such smartwatch called the North Edge ECG smartwatch. It claims to have a built-in ECG heart rate monitor, which can be used to measure heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen levels. The company also claims that there is a body temperature sensor onboard. Other than these features, the device has sleep tracking and 11 sports modes available.
Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity allows you to use the watch’s calling feature as well as message notifications, a remote camera, and music controls on your smartphone. The watch also has a timer, an alarm, and reminders to stand up. A 1.65-inch display with a 240 x 280-pixel resolution is included on the ECG smartwatch. The watch body is 40 g and 10.7 mm (0.4 in) thick. Given that the device is rated as IP65 waterproof, it should be able to survive perspiration and light rain.
With a two-hour charge time, a 170 mAh lithium polymer battery can last up to seven days. The device is available in black or pink and includes a variety of watch faces. The North Edge ECG smartwatch is currently 50% off at US$39; the MSRP of the wearable is US$78. The device ships from China, with delivery to the United States scheduled for mid-January.
