Huawei has unveiled four new wearables – the Watch 4, GT 3 SE, Fit SE and Band 8.
With a number of other tech companies also planning to release wearables in July, Huawei has a tough market to compete in as consumers weigh their options in a saturated and difficult economic climate.
Huawei wearables
The launch of Huawei’s wearables in collaboration with SuperSport United FC and Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) coincided with the announcement of the TUT Matsatsantsa Ladies FC team, to highlight the significance of women’s football.
Watch 4
The Watch 4 is equipped with an upgraded version of the eSIM, which supports standalone communication to let users make calls and send messages without the need of a smartphone.
It also packs health management features such as heart rate readings, ECG, SpO2 measurements and more.
Powered by TruSeen 5.0+, TruSleep 3.0 sleep monitoring algorithm, users can rack their body vitals, whether they are active or training, or not.
