Huawei Watch 6, Watch GT 7 and Watch D3: What to Expect in Munich

Huawei plans to introduce the Watch 6, Watch GT 7 and Watch D3 at an event in Munich on 2 September. The nova 16s Pro smartphone and FreeBuds Neo earbuds are also expected.

The new watches are intended for different groups of users. The Watch GT 7 is positioned as a flagship model, while the Watch D3 follows a health-focused range with blood pressure monitoring. The Watch 6 is expected to focus on comfort, health sensors and sports features.

Watch D3: Following a watch with a blood pressure cuff

The predecessor, the Watch D2, uses an inflatable cuff to measure blood pressure. It is certified as a medical device and also offers ECG, arrhythmia analysis and tracking of other health metrics.

The Watch D3 is expected to retain its predecessor’s health features while introducing a thinner body, a larger display with slimmer bezels and softer straps. These changes could make it more comfortable to wear during the day and at night.

For comparison, the Watch D2 weighs approximately 40 grams without its strap and lasts up to six days on a charge. With intensive blood pressure monitoring, its stated battery life is approximately one day. More frequent measurements therefore mean more frequent charging, although the available information does not explain the exact conditions behind that figure.

Health data from a watch can help users track changes, but it does not replace an examination or advice from a doctor. Anyone experiencing symptoms or seeing unusual results should consult a healthcare professional.

Watch 6: More comfortable wear and sports analysis

The Watch 6 is expected to be lighter and more comfortable for everyday wear. That is particularly useful for tracking health data throughout the day and night. Improved sensors are expected to provide more comprehensive measurements of vital signs, including heart rhythm.

The watch is also expected to use artificial intelligence to analyse sports activities. Assessing training data could help users track their fitness and manage their training more effectively.

The current Watch 5 provides some context. Its X-TAP multisensor can measure blood oxygen saturation in approximately ten seconds. The Health Glance feature summarises ten health indicators in one minute, including ECG, stress and heart rate variability.

The Watch 5 also has eSIM support, more than 100 sports modes, an LTPO AMOLED display and up to 4.5 days of battery life. eSIM enables a mobile connection without a physical SIM card, while sports modes help record different activities. These are Watch 5 specifications, not confirmed specifications for the Watch 6.

nova 16s Pro and FreeBuds Neo

The nova 16s Pro smartphone is expected to have a 200MP main camera with an RYYB colour filter. The same type of filter is expected on the selfie camera. The main sensor’s resolution provides a large number of pixels, but that alone does not guarantee the quality of the resulting photograph.

The FreeBuds Neo earbuds are also expected at the Munich event. They would complement the phone and watches for everyday communication and media listening. Full specifications and prices for the new products are expected at the presentation.
