Huawei Watch D2 with blood pressure cuff rumored to launch in late September

All smart wearables tout a variety of health tracking features, but most only measure the basics. Then there are devices like the Huawei Watch D, which works as a wrist-mounted blood pressure cuff (it has an inflatable wristband) in addition to offering ECG tracking. In our tests, we found that while the accuracy of the blood pressure measurements wasn’t 100%, it was good enough to track your overall health.

The second generation model might do even better, but it’s been a few years since the original Watch D launched with no replacement in sight. This should change in September as Weibo user @UncleKanshan reports that the Huawei Watch D2 is likely to be unveiled on September 24.

Huawei has officially scheduled a product launch for September – the star of the show will be a triple foldable device. That event might bring the Huawei Watch D2 as well. Unfortunately, the tipsters don’t have any info on what features will be added or improved in the second generation watch.

Blood pressure measurement is a rare feature on smartwatches and it’s even rarer to see it done with an inflatable cuff. This is what made the Huawei Watch D special and it should remain the headlining feature of the D2.
