Huawei Watch D3 brings cuff-based blood pressure tracking to Europe

Huawei’s Watch D3 is now available in Europe, bringing blood-pressure monitoring by an inflatable cuff built into the smartwatch’s strap. The device also offers 24-hour ambulatory monitoring, which can take readings during the day and overnight, though daytime measurements may require the wearer to stop and position an arm correctly. The cuff-based design distinguishes the D3 from watches that estimate blood pressure using optical sensors. The strap’s airbag tightens around the wrist to take a reading, and the watch can record blood pressure before and after some exercise. Huawei’s Health app can display longer-term trends alongside sleep and activity data, and generate a report to share with a doctor, according to reviewers. The watch is listed at about £400 in the UK and €449 in Germany, with retailer prices and launch offers varying by market. European sales include offers such as a free Huawei Scale 3 in the UK through Huawei’s online store, according to reported listings. The available offers differ by retailer and country.
