Summary

  • Huawei used IFA 2026 in Berlin to launch the Watch 6, Watch 6 Pro, Watch GT 7, GT 7 Pro and Watch D3, with the Watch 6 series reaching the UK on Sept. 23 from £399.99.
  • Two Watch 6 lines span four sizes—42mm and 46mm for the standard model, 43mm and 46mm for the Pro—and add Arcglow Design, EasyCross straps and a 43mm Ceramic Edition with 18K gold accents.
  • HarmonyOS powers the Watch 6 instead of Google’s Wear OS, while Huawei is pitching X-Tap health checks across 11 metrics, wrist-rotation gestures, eSIM, Curve Pay and AI-driven workout analysis.
  • The broader launch sharpens Huawei’s challenge to the Pixel Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 9, with the Watch D3 adding built-in blood pressure monitoring and preorders before Oct. 26 getting £50 off.
