Beijing: Chinese tech giant Huawei has launched ‘Watch D’ smartwatch made up of a custom-made high hardness aviation aluminium with improved durability and scratch resistance. Recognising over 70 exercises, the Watch D offers features including heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and the ECG and blood pressure features we mentioned previously.

Heart rate detection will be done through an eight-channel high-sensitivity optical sensor, reports GizmoChina. It will go on sale in China on 25 December 2021 and cost 2988 Yuan.
The smartwatch features a squarish 1.64-inch display and has an HD resolution providing 326 PPI retina-level clarity. On the app, users can monitor their results for improvements. The feature seems to be similar to the one available in the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4.
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.
As per the website, “of course, such a smartwatch will never replace a real BP monitor but it works and can give you an idea about your health and condition. It can be for quick or everyday use”.
