Huawei is refining one of its most unique health-focused wearables, and the teaser suggests some real comfort upgrades ahead of a big European launch.

Several HarmonyOS-powered models are getting updates in early September 2026. One of the devices set to be officially unveiled is the Huawei Watch D3, which will join the global Huawei Watch GT7 series and Huawei Watch 6 at a launch event in Munich on September 2.

Unlike the more sporty Watch and Watch GT series, the Watch D line has always been about one specific health feature. It uses an inflatable cuff on the wrist to take relatively reliable blood pressure readings when you follow the proper guidelines. A new teaser video just dropped and gives the first look at how the 2026 model is evolving that idea.

The Watch D3 brings new color options, a noticeably slimmer case, and a larger display thanks to thinner bezels. Huawei is also calling out softer, more comfortable wristbands compared to the ones on the Watch D2. The goal seems to be making a device that’s already unique for its medical-style blood pressure monitoring feel better for everyday wear. Full details on any extra hardware or software features are still under wraps until the Munich event.

For context, the current Watch D2 is built around its standout ambulatory blood pressure monitoring feature: it uses a slim 26.5 mm inflatable airbag cuff on the strap to take relatively accurate readings (including scheduled 24-hour monitoring) and is even CE-MDR certified as a medical device. Beyond that, it packs a 1.82″ AMOLED display, Health Glance that pulls up to 10 key indicators with one tap, ECG, pulse wave arrhythmia analysis, comprehensive sleep tracking, stress and SpO₂ monitoring, plus around 80 workout modes.

The Watch D2 is fairly light at about 40 g without the strap, offers up to 6 days of battery life in typical use (or about a day with continuous blood-pressure monitoring on), and comes in a few classic colors with interchangeable straps.

The upcoming launch will also introduce new earbuds called FreeBuds Neo, which show up in multiple colors in a separate teaser. Altogether, the announcements show Huawei is still pushing hard in wearables and audio, especially in regions where its ecosystem remains competitive. More complete specs and pricing for the Watch D3 should land on September 2.
