This is genius by Huawei!


The obvious reason for them to do this is that they can get a huge amount of data and then use that to calibrate their new sensor. They most likely already have an non invasive sensor / algoritm ready to be fitted on their watches. Or its already there reading it as we speak.


They just need these other sensors to make sure the readings from their smartwatches is matching.


If all goes correct then they will have it approved and available in no time. Without the use of an external sensor.

I'd say this is a win. Out of everything they offer, Huawei's smartwatches are their best products imo. HarmonyOS works best as a smartwatch OS for sure.

I've never had a problem with smart devices from Chinese OEMs considering that I have used the xiaomi band before moving on to smartwatches.

This is great. Huawei continues to bring innovative products to the industry, and products that can aid the masses, despite outside pressures. HarmonyOS works great on many form factors, including wearables, smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices.

The primary critical flaw for HarmonyOS in wearables, which also applies to their other devices, is the lack of meaningful developer support. While it is true that more capable devices, such as the Garmin line of wearables, do not run Wear OS, Garmin markets itself as a smart fitness watch rather than a general-purpose smartwatch like the Apple Watch or the Pixel Watch. Without developer support, even the most advanced features will not save a platform from obscurity. That is simply my objective and nonbiased assessment.

No one that does not have knowledge or experience with an operating system can make AI created statements about critical flaws or lack of developer support. It's evident that the below doesn't have a clue on the developer support of said products, as it is only making its false accusations based on what is popular in the west. That is simply my objective and nonbiased assessment.
