The definitive guide to the new Huawei Watch GT 5 Series, the Watch D2 and the green Huawei Watch Ultimate!

Much similar to what Apple did with its new color option for the Apple Watch Ultra 2, Huawei presents the Huawei Watch Ultimate Green Edition. It's got the new Advanced Golf Course features and the enhanced Expedition Mode, accompanied by a new green color option that merges top technology with innovative craftsmanship, capturing the "Adventure Forward" spirit for those with an adventurous soul.

The Huawei Watch Ultimate continues to introduce cutting-edge features, including a zirconium-based liquid metal case for enhanced durability. It is the first Huawei smartwatch to offer true submersion at depths of up to 100 meters, meeting the ISO 22810:2010 standard and EN13319 certification for diving accessories, with a battery life of up to 14 days.

The watch comes with a variety of strap options, including the new dual-color integrated woven strap in the green edition, as well as HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Rubber) and premium titanium alternatives. The woven strap is crafted with an advanced weaving technique to ensure consistency in thickness and softness, while also being antibacterial, water-resistant, and breathable.



No users are left behind, as Huawei's wearables are compatible with both Android and iOS devices, ensuring that the latest health technology and sports tracking features are accessible to all.

The latest update for Huawei Watch Ultimate introduces the advanced Golf Course Mode, offering access to maps of over 15,000 global golf courses directly on the wrist. It features an optimized 3D course view for clear layouts of obstacles and terrain.

With precision dual-frequency GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems), the watch provides custom distance measurements and a "Plays-Like" function, adjusting for slope to give accurate shot distances. Additional features like wind speed, wind direction, and green slope data further enhance the golfing experience.



The AI Caddie suggests optimal clubs and shot strategies based on terrain and shot distance. The watch also automatically detects and displays shot distances using GNSS, helping users improve their game. Scorecard and trajectory analysis features in the Huawei Health app offer rich data sharing and analysis.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the enhanced Expedition Mode includes offline contour map downloads, route import capabilities, and advanced health monitoring, including ECG analysis, providing comprehensive support for both adventure and wellness tracking.

Huawei Watch D2

We don't yet have R2-D2 from Star Wars from any brand out there, but here's the Huawei Watch D2!

This is Huawei’s next-generation medically certified wrist-based ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) device.

The Huawei Watch D2 delivers 24-hour blood pressure measurement that's claimed to be accurate by Huawei itself, and is powered by the all new Huawei TruSense System for faster and more accurate results.

Daily factors like work stress, lifestyle pressures, and diet can trigger emotional shifts that affect blood pressure, making continuous monitoring essential to detect potential hypertension risks.



That's why it's very important to keep an eye on your blood pressure!

Leading hypertension guidelines, such as those from ISH, ACC/AHA, and ESC/ESH, recommend ABPM (ambulatory blood pressure monitoring) as a key tool for diagnosing and treating hypertension, with ABPM considered the gold standard. To address the challenges of traditional ABPM devices, Huawei has partnered with global hypertension experts and invested years of research and development to enhance blood pressure technology.

It's pretty impressive that the Huawei Watch D2 brings 24-hour blood pressure monitoring to your wrists.

The device uses a physical airbag to inflate and take blood pressure readings at set intervals, offering smart reminders during the day and sleep measurements at night. It supports various positions, including standing, sitting, or semi-lying, and performs automatic internal measurements while you sleep.

The Huawei Watch D2 is the world’s first wrist-based ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) device approved by NMPA and MDR. Developed through collaboration with global experts and a decade of research, it features the Huawei TruSense System and includes a high-precision pressure sensor, mini pump, and inflatable airbag for accurate blood pressure and vital signs monitoring.

The Watch D2 offers Beat-by-Beat ECG Analysis, SpO2 Monitoring, Heart Rate, Stress Level, and Skin Temperature, providing comprehensive health management. Users can measure nine body indicators with a single tap and receive a Health Overview report, including metrics like heart rate, blood pressure, SpO2, stress, skin temperature, ECG, vascular elasticity, respiratory health, and sleep breathing awareness. It is also the first Huawei smartwatch to include blood pressure analysis in its Health Overview.

The watch supports over 80 exercise modes and tracks daily activities related to exercise, diet, sleep, weight, and stress, promoting a healthy lifestyle. It is compact and lightweight, featuring a 1.82-inch screen with a colorful user interface and a 2.5D floating design. The device is significantly smaller and lighter than traditional upper-arm blood pressure monitors, with an ultra-narrow airbag of just 26.5mm.

Available in Black and Gold, the watch comes with a fluoroelastomer strap (a special-purpose fluorocarbon-based synthetic rubber) for comfort or a cream leather strap for a stylish look.

The Huawei Watch D2 is compatible with both iOS and Android devices, making it accessible to a wide range of users.

Price and availability

The new Huawei Watch D2 launches internationally (including UK and Europe) from September 19, 2024, priced at £349.99 (approximately $463).

Customers ordering from the UK Huawei Store and Amazon between September 19 and October 22 will also be rewarded with a free pair of Huawei FreeBuds 5i earbuds. The Watch D2 will also be available at Currys and Argos.
