The smartwatch equips a 1.39-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, which is protected with Gorilla Glass. The panel reaches a peak brightness of 350 nits.

Asus VivoWatch comes with blood pressure monitoring and ECG support and equips ASUS Blood Pressure and ASUS ECG apps. In addition to that, it can measure body composition, and sleep quality, as well as a Relaxation Index. The watch comes equipped with two sets of medical-grade ECG and PPG sensors. The outer ring of the VivoWatch 6 features a bioelectrical impedance (BIA) sensor to measure body composition.

Placing the thumb and index finger on the watch face sensor also reveals the body fat and skeletal muscle percentages, water content, and basal metabolic rate. This watch can monitor the activity of the autonomic nervous system and uses heart rate variability (HRV) as the basis to calculate the Relaxation Index. This is how it can detect a sudden or unusual increase in the stress level. There is another feature called the Body Harmony Analysis, which tracks the user’s emotional status over a week and presents it in a seven-grid chart.

The VivoWatch 6 also features dual-band GPS and up to 14 days of battery life. “Leveraging cutting-edge innovations and years of medical expertise, ASUS VivoWatch 6 is designed to help users keep track of their long-term health goals easily, allowing them to monitor vital health stats anytime, anywhere to truly achieve preventive healthcare,” said Sharon Pan, senior director of Smart Health Product Planning at ASUS.

The ASUS HealthConnect app offers the user all the tracked health parameters at a glance. The app also includes the Care Track cloud-based service which allows family members to view the user’s location and health status in real time.

Pricing and availability:

Asus didn’t confirm when the VivoWatch 6 will be available for purchase. However, the company did reveal the pricing of the new watch – £110 / €130 / $140./ 1020 Yuan.

Asus seems to be gearing up for the release of a new smartwatch, possibly the VivoWatch 6, as a follow-up to the VivoWatch 5 from 2022. A hint towards this impending launch comes from the Bluetooth SIG certification obtained by the new device.

The next smartwatch from Asus has been spotted in the Bluetooth SIG database under the name “VivoWatch 6” and model number HC-D06. However, the listing doesn’t offer any insights into the specifications of the new Asus smartwatch. So, details about its features remain unknown for now.

For a quick recap, the Asus VivoWatch 5 features a 1.3-inch circular LCD display and offers customizable watch faces. The watch strap utilizes a quick-release design for convenient changes.

The VivoWatch 5 incorporates both ECG and PPG sensors for health and wellness. These sensors enable the watch to monitor various health metrics, including pulse-transit time (PTT), heart rate, body harmony index, de-stress level, sleep patterns, and activity levels.

It also has the capacity to measure blood-oxygen (SpO2) levels and skin temperature. ASUS claims the VivoWatch 5 has a battery life of up to 14 days.

Additionally, it has a 5ATM water-resistance rating, indicating suitability for use in water up to a depth of 50 meters.

The ASUS HealthConnect app works in conjunction with the VivoWatch 5. This app allows users to manage data like blood pressure, heart rate, and female menstrual cycles.

It’s speculated that the upcoming VivoWatch 6 might feature an AMOLED panel, potentially offering more options for customizing watch faces compared to the 1.3-inch LCD screen of its predecessor. With that said, we’ll be keeping an eye out for any updates on this new wearable from Asus.
