HUAWEI announced in China the smartwatch "HUAWEI WATCH Buds'' like spy goods that can open the display and incorporate earphones. The price is 2988 yuan (about $430 dollars), and it is already on sale.
The HUAWEI WATCH Buds aren't the first pair of smartwatches and earphones, and several products such as WearbudsWatch have already been released.
In addition, HUAWEI itself was working on the TalkBand series, which is normally used as a smartwatch but can be used as a headset when removed from the belt.
HUAWEI WATCH Buds is a smartwatch that can be said to be an advanced form of them, and it looks very similar to the HUAWEI WATCH GT 3 series.
It has a 47mm case diameter and a 1.43-inch AMOLED display. The optical heart rate sensor not only measures heart rate in real time but also supports blood oxygen saturation and stress measurement. It can also detect arrhythmia and predict atrial fibrillation. It also supports sleep measurement and sleeps apnea detection with HUAWEI TruSleep 3.0.
Up to this point, it is the same as a normal smartwatch, but the main feature of HUAWEI WATCH Buds is that it has built-in earphones.
When the display is opened, a small earphone is stored and can be used for music playback and calling.
4g and small and lightweight earphones do not distinguish between left and right, and automatically detect whether they are worn on the left or right.
It supports touch operation, but you don't need to touch the earphone itself. Double-tap or triple-tap the ear or cheek to recognize it and perform operations such as play/stop and answer incoming calls.
It also supports active noise reduction. It also has a pass-through mode that allows you to hear the surrounding sounds.
The thickness of the smartwatch is 14.99mm to incorporate this earphone. It is a little thicker than the HUAWEI WATCH GT 3 Pro (10.9mm).
Also, the battery capacity is 410mAh, which is less than the HUAWEI WATCH GT 3 Pro's 790mAh, and the battery life is about 3 days. The earphone itself can play music continuously for up to 4 hours.
HUAWEI WATCH Buds is a maniac product, but it also feels practical. So far, it has not been announced that it will be released outside of China.
