Huawei launched a variety of new wearables and tablets globally today, with the Watch D2 being a notable highlight. This new model succeeds the popular Watch D and features built-in blood pressure monitoring. Here’s an overview of what the Watch D2 offers.
Watch D2 Features and Design
The original Watch D gained attention for its capability to measure blood pressure directly using a built-in micropump, which delivered more precise readings than competitors such as the Apple Watch Series 10 and Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. Huawei asserts that the Watch D2 enhances this functionality with better accuracy and a more refined design. A key feature is the Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM), allowing users to track their blood pressure continuously throughout the day.
The Watch D2 is equipped with an inflatable wrist strap, resembling traditional blood pressure cuffs, which allows for more dependable blood pressure measurements compared to devices that rely on optical sensors. The internal airbag can inflate and take readings at predetermined intervals, providing smart reminders and tracking sleep metrics at night. It is capable of measuring in various positions—standing, sitting, or semi-lying—and conducts automatic internal measurements during sleep.
Regulatory Approval and Health Monitoring
This device has received approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in China and the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) in Europe for its blood pressure monitoring capabilities. Beyond blood pressure, the Watch D2 features Beat-by-Beat ECG Analysis, SpO2, Heart Rate, Stress Level, and Skin Temperature monitoring, all powered by the Huawei TruSense system. Users can measure nine body indicators with a single tap and view the results in a Health Overview report.
The nine indicators include heart rate, blood pressure, SpO2, stress, skin temperature, ECG, vascular elasticity, respiratory health, and sleep breathing awareness. Notably, it is the first Huawei smartwatch to incorporate blood pressure analysis within its Health Overview.
Display, Colors, and Pricing
The front of the Watch D2 is equipped with a 1.82-inch AMOLED display featuring a 2.5D floating design. It also includes GPS functionality to view routes directly on the screen. The watch will be available in Black and Gold options, with choices of a fluoroelastomer strap or a cream leather strap for an elegant appearance.
Despite these enhancements, the Watch D2 is priced the same as its predecessor in Europe, launching at €399 (about $444). Customers who purchase the smartwatch from today until October 22nd will receive a complimentary pair of Huawei FreeBuds 5i.
