Huawei’s new Watch D3 adds CE-certified medical-device blood pressure tracking, including 24-hour ambulatory monitoring that works during the day and while sleeping.
A wrist-worn mechanical airbag enables the watch to take repeated compression-based readings, aiming to deliver a fuller picture than one-off checks at a clinic or pharmacy.
The device also supports pre- and post-exercise blood pressure measurements, with data syncing to the Huawei Health app for tailored reports that users can share with healthcare providers.
Priced from £399.99, the smartwatch also includes heart-rate and rhythm tracking, sleep and readiness metrics, more than 100 sport modes, six-day battery life, and Android and iOS compatibility.
Huawei is pitching the D3 at a crowded wearables market by tying health features to hypertension prevention, a major cardiovascular risk that experts say benefits from continuous monitoring.
