Huawei Watch D Blood Pressure smartwatch gets its first system update

Jed John Ikoba — Tue, 25 Jan 2022 20:32:09 +0000

Huawei released the Watch D last December and one of the major highlights of the smartwatch is the presence of a blood pressure monitor that puts the smartwatch in a select class, as there are only a few devices currently with such feature. The Watch D is a versatile smart wearable that offers an array of functions to satisfy both the health and fitness needs of its user. Huawei has now rolled out its first system update for the Watch D. The system update will improve the overall performance of the Watch D, as well as its software system.

The new system update for the Huawei Watch D brings system stability and optimization for the smartphone. The first set of customers to receive the update are those in Huawei’s home market of China, while other places will receive the update subsequently. It is understood that the update will be in batches but will cover all the Watch D devices already produced irrespective of their current locations. There are however no significant improvements from what was released last year.

The Watch D is a bold statement by Huawei, as it continues to pick up from the debilitating effects of the United States sanction regime against it. The Huawei Watch D has a lot of impressive health and fitness sensors including its standout blood pressure monitoring capability. Users can download the latest update by connecting to their Huawei Health app and choosing the update option.

Huawei Watch D launched with blood pressure, ECG monitoring and aviation aluminum body

Zohaib Ahmed — Thu, 23 Dec 2021 09:39:15 +0000

Huawei held a product launch event today, lifting the curtains on multiple devices, with the P50 Pocket and Watch D stealing most of the limelight. We’ll be talking about the latter here and have given all that you need to know about the smartwatch below.

Starting with the design, the Huawei Watch D is made up of a custom-made high hardness aviation aluminum with improved durability and scratch resistance. The display is a squarish one with a size of 1.64-inches and has an HD resolution providing 326 PPI retina-level clarity. The weight has been claimed to be a sixth of a traditional blood pressure monitor.

Huawei also stated that rigorous airtightness testing has granted the Huawei Watch D IP68 water and dust resistance, making it the industry’s first watch with blood pressure monitoring support to come with such a rating. Heart rate detection will be done through an eight-channel high-sensitivity optical sensor and support for 70+ sports modes has been provided.

But it’s the blood pressure monitoring feature that’s undoubtedly the main highlight of the smartwatch. A micropump with a size equal to a dime and with a compression capability of 40kPa has been fitted inside, allowing accurate 40mmHg to 230mmHg blood pressure measurement.

A self-developed hybrid measurement algorithm that makes use of powerful AI computing has also been used to further improve the detection capabilities of the watch. The BP monitoring feature was said to meet standards of the pharmaceutical industry with an extremely small margin for error in measurement.

Blood pressure monitoring has been paired with ECG measurement, which is basically a test to check your heart’s rhythm and electrical activity. Huawei says 6 BP and 5 ECG measurements per day still will grant you up to 7 days of battery life. Filling the watch up again is simple enough through a wireless charging function.

Last but not least, Huawei is also offering professional doctor services covering diet, sleep, and exercise using which you can directly share your health data with doctors, who will then provide a health management plan accordingly. It’s possible that this service will be limited to China alone, where it will be costing 599 Yuan or around $94.

The Huawei Watch D is available in Classic Black and Elegant Titanium color options and will cost you 2,988 Yuan or around $469. It will be going on sale from Christmas (December 25th).

Jed John Ikoba — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 18:07:42 +0000

The exciting Huawei Watch D has been the subject of some speculations and leaks, mainly fueled by its innovative blood pressure monitoring capability. There are indeed only a few devices that offer blood pressure monitoring, and the Huawei Watch D is in this class. The device is expected to be officially unveiled on December 23 during Huawei’s flagship launch conference. A video has now surfaced that showcases all the key features relating to its blood pressure measurement capabilities.

The hands-on video leak reveals the unboxing of the Huawei Watch D from its retail box and the unpacking reveals a sturdy black strap for the Watch D. The video also shows the rectangular display and large bezels on the corner of the Huawei flagship smartwatch. The inner display of the watch is bigger than its predecessors, thus providing a more enhanced experience using the smartwatch.

A demonstration of the blood pressure monitoring feature was also shown in the video. The user kept the smartwatch on his wrist in a straight position. The sturdy strap ensures a firm grip on the wrists to guarantee better blood pressure measurements.

There are several sensors on the back of the Huawei Watch D and two buttons on the right side. The user interface of the Watch D shows that the device features blood pressure levels consisting of high and low pressure, as well as pulse.

Huawei Watch D uses understrap airbag to measure blood pressure: leaked specs, pricing and color variant

Sudhanshu — Sat, 18 Dec 2021 13:06:32 +0000

Huawei‘s upcoming Watch D has been a hot topic as of late due to its blood pressure tracking capabilities, but people have been curious as to how the device will achieve this feat. Now, new leaks have surfaced featuring a video guide on how to use Watch D’s blood pressure monitoring features.

The known tipster 看山的叔叔 took to Weibo (a Chinese microblogging site) and leaked a whole host of information about the upcoming Watch D, including accessories, memory and RAM configurations, a silver color variant as well as a video guide on how to use Watch D’s blood pressure monitoring features (via).

From the pictures, it is apparent that the Huawei WATCH D will come with multiple accessories, including the body of the watch, different sizes of straps, different sizes of airbags, as well as the ruler for measuring your wrist’s circumference, a charger, user guide, etc.

According to the Huawei Watch D user guide video, It appears that the Watch D will come equipped with an airbag to measure the user’s blood pressure. The airbag appears to be removable and has to be attached under the watch strap and connected with the watch D via a small pin to enable the blood pressure monitoring capabilities.

The WATCH D user will need to measure wrist circumference to match the size of the strap and the airbag. After the measurement, you can adjust the strap according to the scale, and you can also change different sizes of straps and airbags.

When measuring blood pressure, the user can initiate the measurement by double-clicking a physical button on the smartwatch. A timer will pop up indicating that the blood pressure check is about to start. It is necessary to stay in a relaxed position, keep the wrist (with the device on) at the heart level with your palms on the shoulder, and support the elbow with your other hand.

The tipster revealed that the Huawei Watch D will feature 32 MB of RAM and 4 GB internal storage, akin to the Huawei Watch GT 3, and can be connected to Bluetooth headphones. Additionally, a silver color variant of the Watch D was revealed via these leaks alongside its expected price of 2998 Yuan ($470).

The watch D, which is currently available for registration, is expected to launch on December 23rd at Huawei’s winter product launch conference.

Looking at a recently leaked live image of the device, we can see that it has a squarish dial with a large screen that’s slightly curved on the edges. It also houses what appears to be a “Health” and “Home” function based physical buttons. As of right now, Huawei has currently opened registration for the Watch D on its official website in China, which basically confirms that it is launching on December 23.

For those unaware, the company is gearing up to launch a number of new products during its December 23 event. This includes the Watch D, Watch Fit mini, Sound Joy Speakers, and more. Today, the brand had even announced that it will be launching the Huawei P50 Pocket foldable smartphone as well during this event, which is set to be the latest flagship device.

The watch supports a number of new and highly advanced tracking features like blood pressure monitoring and ECG (electrocardiogram) measurement. A blogger recently revealed that the watch allegedly comes with a pressurized bag inside to simulate the actual blood pressure measurement process and provide extremely accurate data. The feature has already obtained a Class II medical device registration certificate from the National Medical Products Administration of China.

Other than this, the Huawei Watch D will run the company’s self-developed HarmonyOS system. It will also likely support the Huawei Health app, which would provide users with various fitness features like step tracking, calorie measurement, sleep cycle tracking, weight tracking, and much more.

He Gang, president of Huawei’s mobile business, earlier this year announced that Huawei had made a breakthrough in the research of wearable blood pressure measurement technology on the wrist. The Huawei Watch D seems to be a product of that.

Sean — Mon, 13 Dec 2021 07:20:49 +0000

Over the last couple of weeks, several sources and reports have suggested that Huawei will be holding its latest 2021 product launch conference on December 23. Now, a new report has revealed the list of a few of these new products that we can expect to be announced later this month.

Keep in mind that the company has yet to officially confirm this upcoming December 23 launch event. So take this report with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more updates.

Sudhanshu — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 14:15:55 +0000

The Chinese tech giant, Huawei, has been rumored to be working on a new smartwatch, the Huawei Watch D. Now, it looks like the device might see a launch as images of the Watch D packaging box have surfaced online.

According to ItHome, the Weibo user @菊厂影业Fans recently posted pictures of the Huawei Watch D packaging box on the Chinese microblogging website.

The main attraction of the smartwatch is its blood pressure monitoring capabilities, a feature that is only available on a few smartwatch devices around the world. This feature on the smartwatch is expected to provide reasonably accurate blood pressure measurements as it has obtained a Class II medical device registration certificate from the National Medical Products Administration of China. The device also features convenient blood pressure reminders to help you monitor your blood pressure throughout the day.

Other than that, the packaging reveals that the smartwatch will run on Huawei’s Harmony OS, making for easy integration with Huawei’s ecosystem.

Notably, the smartwatch will likely support the Huawei Health app, which would provide users with various fitness and health features like tracking their steps, total time they are physically active, total calories burned, sleep cycle tracking, weight tracking and much more.

Huawei Watch D may launch on Dec 23 with precise blood pressure tracking

Sean — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 08:08:46 +0000

Huawei is gearing up for an upcoming event, which is scheduled for 23 December 2021. The event would likely have the company launching a number of new products, one of which may includes the Watch D smartwatch.

According to an XDADevelopers report, the Chinese tech giant is planning on launching a new wearable later this month during the December 23 event. Apart from the usual features that modern day smartwatches offer, the new Watch D will even feature precise blood pressure monitoring as well. This feature is similar to the one that is currently offered by the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, which was the first to introduce this technology on wearables.

Although, the Watch D is expected to be released for a price lower than the Galaxy Watch 4 series. Notably, the smartwatch will likely support Huawei Health app as well, which would allow users to keep and track a detailed history of their blood pressure results and monitor any changes. Unfortunately, not much information is known regarding this device apart from its highlighting feature as of right now. However, the December 23 launch is in line with our previous report regarding a December release timeline for the Watch D. So stay tuned for more updates.

Huawei to reportedly launch new products next month; some support blood pressure monitoring

Jeet — Tue, 23 Nov 2021 06:45:25 +0000

Huawei, in its effort to regain some lost market share, is planning to host a product launch event in December where the Chinese giant will be unveiling a number of devices, including a flip-type foldable smartphone named Huawei Mate V.

Although the exact launch date has not been known yet, a new report coming from a tipster on Weibo (via ITHome) claims that the company could be launching smartwatches, ink screens, Bluetooth glasses, and some other products with support for blood pressure monitoring at this upcoming event.

So far, among all these types of products, names of only two products are known — Huawei Mate V for the flip folding smartphone and Huawei Watch D for the smartwatch.

The specifications of the Mate V as well as details of its design are currently unknown. It was previously reported that Huawei is working on a foldable phone with a clamshell design similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3. However, there is no link connecting this clamshell foldable to the Mate V expected to launch next quarter. Time will tell if they are one and the same or two different devices.

On the other hand, coming to the Huawei Watch D, there’s no information about what the “D” in the device’s name indicates. Huawei previously launched a smartwatch named Watch GT where the GT stands for “Gran Turismo.” It may be that Huawei is rebranding its devices and thus, opted for a simpler name for the upcoming product.

This new smartwatch is expected to come with many health and fitness-related features, including a heart rate monitor, blood pressure monitor, and body fat monitor. If this turns out to be true, then it will be the first smartwatch from the company to come with support for blood pressure monitoring.

Huawei Watch D with blood pressure monitoring could soon get launched

Jeet — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 08:58:29 +0000

Huawei, the China-based technology giant, has been struggling to maintain its presence in the smartphone market but the company has several other product categories and seems to have shifted its focus to other products.

The company has launched several wearable devices so far and now the China-based giant is gearing up to launch a new smartwatch. Huawei hasn’t actually confirmed this but a new trademark from the brand indicates this.

It is believed that the upcoming smartwatch, which is reportedly named Huawei Watch D, will come with many health and fitness-related features, including a heart rate monitor, blood pressure monitor, and body fat monitor.

As of now, there’s no information about what the “D” in the device’s name indicates. The company has previously launched a smartwatch named Watch GT where the GT stands for “Gran Turismo.” It may be that Huawei is rebranding its devices and thus, opted for a simpler name for the upcoming product.

Whatever be the case behind the naming, we should get to know more about it in the coming weeks. What’s interesting is that this new smartwatch will be the first one from the company to come with support for blood pressure monitoring.

Huawei is reportedly testing this new smartwatch and a previously leaked image of the same indicates that it looks similar to the Watch Fit. We expect to know more about this new smartwatch in the coming days or weeks. The company has scheduled a global launch event for P50 series smartphones on 21st October so maybe the company could announce or reveal more about the device at the same event.
