Step into the future of wearables with HUAWEI, where wearables aren't just smart; they're your personal health revolutionaries. As a key player in the global market, HUAWEI's commitment to research and development has fuelled business growth and significantly contributed to advancing global health management solutions.

Through a blend of modern and edgy design and revolutionary technology, HUAWEI is shaping the future of wearable devices, making comprehensive health management a reality for people everywhere.

A Decade of Innovation and Excellence

HUAWEI has been a powerhouse in the smart wearable industry for over ten years, marked by the development of its proprietary TruSeen™ vital sign monitoring technology. This innovation has seen five generations of upgrades in just eight years, showcasing HUAWEI's relentless pursuit of excellence.

In 2024, HUAWEI has set its sights on conquering three industry challenges: sleep, blood pressure, and mental health management, aiming to provide even more professional and comprehensive health management solutions globally.

The Growth Engine: Smart Wearables

Smart wearables have emerged as a critical growth driver within HUAWEI's Consumer Business Group (CBG) global business. With a notable 56% year-on-year increase in smartwatch shipments in Q3 2023, HUAWEI has solidified its position in the worldwide market, boasting a remarkable 14% market share.

This success is underpinned by a commitment to innovation, as evidenced by the opening of HUAWEI's largest Health Lab outside the Chinese mainland, in Finland. This lab leads the way in researching smart wearable technologies, offering users more intelligent fitness and health features globally.

Bridging the Health Information Gap

HUAWEI's latest European Health Survey highlights a crucial gap in the market: consumers are increasingly health-conscious but lack access to timely health information. Smart wearables, mainly HUAWEI's range of products, play a pivotal role in bridging this gap.

With features like Health Glance on the HUAWEI WATCH 4 Series and TruSeen™ 5.5+ health indicator monitoring on the HUAWEI WATCH GT 4 Series, HUAWEI offers users valuable insights into their health, promoting proactive management and healthier lifestyles.

Comprehensive Health Management

HUAWEI's wearable devices have various features tailored to meet diverse health management needs. From the Stay Fit app's comprehensive calorie control and weight management support to HUAWEI WATCH D's pioneering blood pressure measurement technology, HUAWEI wearables cater to various health indicators. This comprehensive approach to health management is a testament to HUAWEI's commitment to making advanced health monitoring accessible to all.

Recognising the importance of physical exercise in overall health, HUAWEI has made fitness more accessible through engaging courses, activities, and pro-level workouts. Initiatives like the "Light Up Your Rings" activity encourage users to lead more active lifestyles, while the introduction of TruSport™ technology supports over 100 workout modes, ensuring there's something for everyone.

Looking Ahead: Prioritising Health Challenges

As we move into 2024, HUAWEI remains focused on addressing key health challenges, with sleep, blood pressure, and mental health management at the top of its agenda. By prioritising these areas, HUAWEI is not just innovating for the sake of technology but is deeply committed to enhancing the well-being of its users worldwide.

HUAWEI's journey in the smart wearable industry is a testament to its dedication to innovation, quality, and user-centric design. By focusing on critical health challenges and leveraging cutting-edge technology, HUAWEI is not just leading the way in smart wearables but also profoundly impacting global health management.

As HUAWEI continues to push the boundaries of what's possible, its wearables are set to become an integral part of people's lives, empowering them to lead healthier, more informed lifestyles.
