Sometimes I meet a product that almost immediately improves my life.
The Huawei Watch D2 is such a product. In a very short period of time, he convinced me to wear only my favorite smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 10, during activities associated with greater wear (think, a sport or intense gardening).
The reason for my enthusiasm? This smartwatch can do something that no other laptop can do, including £ 799 / $ 799 Apple Watch Ultra 2: measure my blood pressure.

We are not talking about a configuration like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 here, where you must first calibrate it with a cuff monitor.
No, it is a complete blood pressure monitor in its own right, with an integrated swollen cuff. Although this is not quite the position of the upper stallion on the upper hand, the tests in our full examination suggested an impressive precision.
As Appareil Huawei, the D2 watch is not available in the United States. But British buyers can buy one on Amazon for £ 349.99 – an impressive price when you consider technology on board.
And the importance of keeping an eye on your blood pressure cannot be overestimated. High blood pressure is one of the largest risk factors when it comes to our long -term health. It is crucial to recognize the changes that occur during our lives.
Ingeniously simple blood pressure measures
The watch takes on the measure completely discreetly. The measurement of blood pressure is calm and only takes a few seconds. I don't have to unpack and put a blood pressure monitor, but I just hold my smartwatch mounted on the wrist on my heart.
It is ingeniously simple and discreet. And in fact relatively precise!

When our Sister PC-Welt site tested the Huawei Watch D, which uses the same technology as the D2, they cited a German cardiologist who said he had used the watch in private and was “satisfied” with the results.
Although this is not a medical device, the D2 watch is a great way to keep an eye on your blood pressure without needing to use a dedicated device all the time.
The D2 watch can even monitor blood pressure 24 hours a day and register it automatically at night, without you having to do anything.
This ABPM (ambulatory blood pressure monitoring) measure provides an objective image of my blood pressure which is not distorted by short -term influences. It works very impressive. I feel really good the next day when I look at the readings of the blood pressure from the previous night and I know that my blood pressure is in the normal beach.

Excellent battery life
Brassard swelling naturally consumes the power of the battery. But even if I measure my blood pressure several times a day and take an ABPM measure of 24 hours twice a week, a full load easily lasts an entire week. This is something that Apple Watch users cannot even dream.
In addition, the battery can be charged relatively quickly. We went from 0 to 100% in just under an hour.
that. And the durable battery can also be loaded very quickly.
To make sure that my Huawei D2 watch really offers a realistic value, I regularly take comparative measurements with high quality blood pressure monitors to Beurer.

It turns out that the D2 watch generally displays slightly different values. But this is not a problem because, first, I can memorize the difference in the values of the blood pressure monitor from the top of the butter arm and, secondly, the values of the Huawei D2 watch are close enough to reliably assess my blood pressure.
Whether I have 117 to 81 or 122 to 77 is not important. It is just important to know that this is not 140 to 90 or even more. And unlike the top measurement device from the top of the arm, the night measurement during sleep gives me values that are not affected by stress or acute excitement.
