Huawei launches its Watch D3 — its latest iteration of its mechanized blood pressure cuff watch — that aims to outstrip Apple and Google's achievements with LED tech

A slimmer, sleeker version of Huawei's once-boxy Watch D series still uses its innovative blood pressure cuff strap — eschewing LED-based measurements used by the likes of Apple and Google.

Huawei launches its Watch D3 — its latest iteration of its mechanized blood pressure cuff watch — that aims to outstrip Apple and Google's achievements with LED tech

Huawei has unveiled its latest blood pressure-focused smartwatch, the Watch D3, which aims to surpass the achievements of Apple, Google, and other smart ring startups. The Watch D3 features an inflatable cuff that allows for 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, enabling users to track blood pressure trends throughout the day and night.

The slim design of the Watch D3, measuring just 11.3mm thick and weighing 40g, makes it comfortable to wear during both daytime and nighttime activities. This iteration of the Watch D series boasts improved design and functionality compared to its predecessors, as the inflatable band has been made more narrow, allowing for increased comfort during prolonged use.

The smartwatch also includes other standard smartwatch features, such as GPS, outdoor route navigation, running analytics, and the ability for family members to view each other's stats via the Health Community feature. Unfortunately, the Watch D3 is unavailable in the US due to the ongoing Huawei telecoms tech ban. However, users in the US can explore alternative blood pressure-measuring wearables, such as Apple's Hypertension feature, Google Pixel Watch 5's Blood Pressure Detection feature, and the cuffless smart ring from Signal Ring.
