The Huawei Watch D3 is an improvement on the D2, but I’m still left wanting more

The Huawei Watch D3 delivers blood pressure monitoring and a range of other health reporting. Unfortunately the trade-off is a bulkier strap.

The Huawei Watch D3 is an improvement on the D2, but I’m still left wanting more

The Huawei Watch D3 is an upgraded version of the D2, introduced by the Chinese tech giant to offer enhanced features. With a focus on medical reporting, the watch boasts a blood pressure monitoring capability, which is its standout feature. It takes less than a minute to take an ambulatory blood pressure reading using a mechanical airbag and pressure sensor attached to the strap.

The watch also offers pulse wave arrhythmia analysis, beat-by-beat ECG, and other health tracking metrics. However, the D3 isn't as comfortable or lightweight as many other smartwatches due to its mechanical components. Despite being bulkier and more expensive than its predecessor, the D3 provides a host of smart features, including Bluetooth calling, NFC payments, and voice note recording.

While it may not be the best fitness tracker or running watch, the D3 caters to a niche market of individuals concerned about their blood pressure, making it a valuable companion for tracking medical health metrics.
