We don’t yet have R2-D2 from Star Wars from any brand out there, but here’s the Huawei Watch D2!
This is Huawei’s next-generation medically certified wrist-based ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) device.
The Huawei Watch D2 delivers 24-hour blood pressure measurement that’s claimed to be accurate by Huawei itself, and is powered by the all new Huawei TruSense System for faster and more accurate results.
Daily factors like work stress, lifestyle pressures, and diet can trigger emotional shifts that affect blood pressure, making continuous monitoring essential to detect potential hypertension risks.

That’s why it’s very important to keep an eye on your blood pressure!
Leading hypertension guidelines, such as those from ISH, ACC/AHA, and ESC/ESH, recommend ABPM (ambulatory blood pressure monitoring) as a key tool for diagnosing and treating hypertension, with ABPM considered the gold standard. To address the challenges of traditional ABPM devices, Huawei has partnered with global hypertension experts and invested years of research and development to enhance blood pressure technology.
It’s pretty impressive that the Huawei Watch D2 brings 24-hour blood pressure monitoring to your wrists.
The device uses a physical airbag to inflate and take blood pressure readings at set intervals, offering smart reminders during the day and sleep measurements at night. It supports various positions, including standing, sitting, or semi-lying, and performs automatic internal measurements while you sleep.
The Huawei Watch D2 is the world’s first wrist-based ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) device approved by NMPA and MDR. Developed through collaboration with global experts and a decade of research, it features the Huawei TruSense System and includes a high-precision pressure sensor, mini pump, and inflatable airbag for accurate blood pressure and vital signs monitoring.

The Watch D2 offers Beat-by-Beat ECG Analysis, SpO2 Monitoring, Heart Rate, Stress Level, and Skin Temperature, providing comprehensive health management. Users can measure nine body indicators with a single tap and receive a Health Overview report, including metrics like heart rate, blood pressure, SpO2, stress, skin temperature, ECG, vascular elasticity, respiratory health, and sleep breathing awareness. It is also the first Huawei smartwatch to include blood pressure analysis in its Health Overview.
The watch supports over 80 exercise modes and tracks daily activities related to exercise, diet, sleep, weight, and stress, promoting a healthy lifestyle. It is compact and lightweight, featuring a 1.82-inch screen with a colorful user interface and a 2.5D floating design. The device is significantly smaller and lighter than traditional upper-arm blood pressure monitors, with an ultra-narrow airbag of just 26.5mm.
Available in Black and Gold, the watch comes with a fluoroelastomer strap (a special-purpose fluorocarbon-based synthetic rubber) for comfort or a cream leather strap for a stylish look.
The Huawei Watch D2 is compatible with both iOS and Android devices, making it accessible to a wide range of users.
