Huawei's high-end smartwatch collection has become significantly more luxurious thanks to an all-ceramic design combined with 18K gold details.
Huawei made a significant announcement today, rolling out a comprehensive range of hardware upgrades across its wearable lineup. The company introduced the health-centric Watch D3, which features medical-grade blood pressure monitoring, along with the premium Watch 6 series, the outdoor-oriented Watch GT 7 series, and a pair of affordable ANC earbuds.
The Huawei Watch 6 series sets a new standard for premium smartwatches.
Highlighting today’s event is the Huawei Watch 6 series. Positioned as the mainstream flagship smartwatch for Huawei, prices start at £399.99 (~$540) for the standard Watch 6 and reach £599.99 (~$809) for the high-end Watch 6 Pro.
The standard Watch 6 is available in 42mm and 46mm versions, with the 42mm model measuring just 10.2mm thick and weighing 38g, making it the lightest option in this lineup. It boasts a fresh Arcglow design and an EasyCross strap system that enhances breathability.
For those desiring premium materials, the Watch 6 Pro offers an upgrade. In addition to a 46mm Space Edition with a black ceramic bezel and gold accents, Huawei has introduced its first all-ceramic watch, the 43mm Ceramic Edition, which features a nano-tech ceramic case, matching ceramic straps, and 18K gold details.
Functionally, the Watch 6 series introduces new wrist rotation gestures for one-handed menu navigation and includes eSIM support. Health capabilities receive a significant upgrade thanks to the enhanced X-Tap sensor array, expanding the Health Glance feature to 11 metrics that cover cardiovascular, endocrine, and respiratory tracking.
Huawei's Watch GT 7 series is designed for endurance and winter sports.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the new Watch GT 7 series offers robust durability and specialized tracking features. The base model starts at £279.99 (~$377) and the GT 7 Pro reaches £379.99 (~$512). The Pro version includes a scratch-resistant nano-tech ceramic bezel and a titanium alloy frame, with the 46mm variant boasting up to 21 days of battery life.
A notable addition to the GT 7 lineup is a selection of models tailored for indoor and outdoor snow sports. The watch can automatically track skiing or snowboarding metrics like elevation, distance, and posture without requiring active GPS, even eliminating downtime during ski lift waits. For outdoor runs, it maps over 3,000 ski resorts globally and tracks technical parameters like turn radius, counts, and centrifugal G-Force during sharp turns. Cyclists also benefit from features like Climb Panning, real-time gradient updates, and haptic alerts for sharp turns.
Huawei FreeBuds Neo offer affordable adaptive ANC and seamless integration with watches.
Completing the lineup are the FreeBuds Neo, Huawei’s newest true wireless earbuds priced at £119.99 (~$160). They feature a Light Mini Stem design, weigh only 4.8g per earbud, and promise comfort throughout the day due to their ergonomic, pressure-relieving fit.
Despite the budget-friendly price, the earbuds provide dynamic adaptive noise cancellation, reducing ambient noise by up to 30dB. The FreeBuds Neo support wideband audio through a new Turbo driver unit, device-agnostic spatial audio, and high-resolution lossless audio transmission with compatible Huawei devices. They also integrate with Huawei's smartwatch ecosystem, allowing users to switch ANC modes, modify sound profiles, or locate lost earbuds via the Audio Connect app on supported Huawei watches.
