The well known brand, Huawei announced the Watch 4 and Watch 4 Pro last week in China. The new pair of wearables with HarmonyOS 2 support about 100 workout modes and feature a 1.5-inch AMOLED display with sapphire glass coating. Besides this, the Huawei Watch 4 and Watch 4 Pro also come with an innovative blood sugar assessment feature that helps people with diabetes to monitor their glucose levels. Huawei has informed that the smartwatch will detect the level and risk of high blood sugar or hyperglycemia and alert the wearer accordingly. Apple and Samsung are yet to bring this innovation to their wearables.
The new Huawei Watch 4 and Huawei Watch 4 Pro come with a blood sugar risk assessment function. Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei’s consumer unit, had recently a video on Weibo showcasing how the new feature works. He claimed that Huawei Watch 4 series is the industry’s first smartwatch that supports high blood sugar risk assessment research. As derived from the video, when a wearer has high blood sugar, the smartwatch will display this text — “excessive intake of high-sugar high-oil and high-fat diets may lead to increased risk of high blood sugar”. The price of the watch starts from CNY 2,649 (roughly Rs. 31,000), while the Huawei Watch 4 Pro has a starting price of CNY 3,349 (roughly Rs. 40,000). The vanilla model comes in Moon Black, Venus White, and Saturn Brown shades while the Pro model is offered in Azure Earth, Jupiter Brown, and Mars Titanium colour options.
