The recent Huawei event included the launch of their newest foldable phone the Mate Xs 2. The company also introduced two new wearables the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro and the Huawei Band 7. This idea needs some unpacking, so let’s start from the beginning.
Huawei stuns the world by launching multiple assets
Huawei Band 7 specs and features
The successor to the Band 6, the new wearable is only 9.99 mm thick and only weighs 16 grams. It features a 1.47-inch AMOLED display with 194 x 368 pixels resolution. With an AMOLED display, the watch has access to the Always-On feature without expending a lot of energy.
It has a power button on the right edge and has input functions such as turning it on or off and sensors such as an accelerometer, gyro sensor, and heart rate sensor. It also houses a SpO2 sensor that can help you to detect signs of sleep apnea. Along with menstrual cycle notifications, the Huawei band 7 features reminders for naps and sun protection.
The smart wearable features 96 sports modes available, including swimming and calorie tracking for workouts and physical activities.
The smart band is waterproof to 5ATM and is able to endure dives to 50 meters below the surface. Although it comes with a 50-meter warranty and lasts up to 14 days when completely charged, with frequent use of the Always-On function, the battery will run out of power more quickly. There are over 7000 watch faces in addition to an NFC-enabled version.
Huawei Band 7 pricing & availability
You can purchase two variants of the Band 7 – a Standard Band 7 and an NFC variant that allows you to make payments through the Band. The standard version is priced at around ¥269 (~$40 USD) and would be an excellent fitness tracker for those in the market. In order to have these devices, it is now available for pre-order in China at select retailers. However, it is not yet known whether Huawei Band 7 will be available outside of China.
