characteristics, price and technical file

We believed that at this point innovate in the field of smart watches it was complicated, but Huawei has given a pleasant and promising surprise with its new Huawei Watch 5.

These new smart watches not only mimate users who prefer more compact models, but also introduce A new technology called X-Tap in which there are new sensors to improve the precision of monitoring. The curious thing is where these sensors are located and how they are used. Let’s discover them.

Huawei Watch 5 Technical Card 5

A design that now fits those who love smaller watches

During the presentation event of these devices those responsible for Huawei commented how consumers had protested because their watches were too large.

The solution has been clear: the new Huawei Watch 5 will be available in two sizes: the traditional version With 46 mm diameter box, and the new 42 mm. The new model also releases narrower bezels and a better screen/body ratio.

The housing of these devices is stainless steel, while the surfaces are polished with an ultra -resistant scratch steel. That, they say in Huawei, guarantees high durability, but there are more: they will offer titanium versions for those looking for an even more resistant design.

The Watch 5 screen stands out for its 3,000 maximum brightness nits and its LTPO 2.0 technology. In addition, watches enjoy Wi-Fi 6 for faster and faster Internet access.

Huawei has improved map support. If we are connected, we can enjoy route planning, navigation and correction of real time. Besides We will have maps without connectionthat we can use, for example, in non -telephone activities in sport modes such as cycling, for example.

To improve Huawei autonomy, it offers a change system between ultra -granted functioning modes. Thus, we can change between standard mode and battery savings mode in just two seconds. According to the manufacturer, the 42 mm Watch 5 achieves three days of autonomy in standard mode and seven days in battery savings mode. The 46 mm extends that autonomy to 4.5 and 11 days respectively.

X-TAP: more precise health measurements using the finger yolk

The most interesting novelty of these watches comes from the health side. The Huawei Watch 5 are the first smart watches of the brand with X-TAP technology. Those responsible for Huawei stressed that with it new signal collection options are opened: the sensors are not limited to the wrist, and the new ones focus especially on precision.

In fact, on the sides of the clock is where we find those additional sensors that allow you to enjoy new touch functions, but also better precision both in the electrocardiogram (ECG) and in the photopletismography (PPG, to measure heart rate, blood oxygen levels and even stress levels).

Those new sensors for example allow a measurement of the spo2 with the finger yolkand also do it more quickly, in real time and more precisely.

According to Huawei, a measurement of this type is completed in less than 10 seconds, 33% faster than in the Huawei Watch 4. The clock in fact offers the ability to show a health report with seven different parameters in just a minute of making use of these sensors.

There is also a new VFC measurement (heart rate variability) that, for example, is interesting to measure sleep quality, exercise load) or our emotional health.

The novelties also reach the interface control software, especially in the form of “intelligent gestures.” With them a new way of navigating between the clock options is opened.

Thus, we can Configure gestures such as double touch (In the air, with the thumb and index) or the double slip (sliding the thumb from the middle of the index finger to the tip) to answer or reject calls and to control the reproduction of audio, the alarms or the remote control options of other devices (such as activating the camera of our smartphone).
