Feel the pressure
Smartwatches and fitness bands are great at measuring your heart rate and counting how many steps you’ve taken, but they’ve been less reliable at gauging more complicated medical data such as blood pressure. This watch from Chinese manufacturer Huawei changes that. The company has focused on making blood-pressure measurement a primary feature and has developed wrist-mounted technology that brings medical-level monitoring to the device.
To perform this feat, the Watch D2 has an airbag strip that runs along the inside of the strap. At first we thought this might feel uncomfortable and get in the way, but it sits unobtrusively under the strap and, if anything, provides an extra layer of cushioning.
