Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

On May 18, at the launch of Huawei's new summer products, the new generation of flagship smartwatch Huawei WATCH 4 Planet Series was officially launched, starting at 2699 yuan.

This product was first unveiled at Huawei's German launch on May 9, and now the "industry's most powerful intellectual health guardian expert" has officially arrived in the domestic market.

On the basis of the original health monitoring function and professional health research, Huawei WATCH 4 Planet Series initially supports hyperglycemia risk assessment, vascular age detection and cardiovascular risk screening, as well as health trend report and "micro-physical examination" function. In terms of system interaction, Huawei WATCH 4 Planet Series has also been upgraded to the new HarmonyOS 3.1 system, which not only has the independent communication capability of eSIM, but also realizes the independent sending and receiving of information.

Next, CTOnews.com will bring a detailed evaluation experience around the new product of Huawei WATCH 4 Pro.

Part one: design according to the official description, Huawei WATCH 4 planet series is inspired by the stars of the universe, the universe is vast and infinite, it represents our vision and reverie of the unknown, and behind it is human awe and exploration of the unknown.

The dome is a symbol of the universe, so the Huawei design team took the circular dome as the design concept and created the sapphire glass lens in the spherical shape of Huawei WATCH 4 Pro after more than 30 processes.

When I saw the watch at first glance, I was attracted by this spherical curved mirror. Different from the traditional 2.5D glass design, this is a whole curved glass design, seen from the side, like a round sea surface seen from the plane porthole at high altitude. Very beautiful.

At the same time, the mirror uses sapphire glass, which is extremely hard and has a strong protective effect on the screen, while in the light, the sapphire glass will show natural light and shadow changes, with a more transparent visual experience.

In order to better cater to the "universe" theme, Huawei WATCH 4 planet series has also added a new dial of exploration series, including star theme, starry sky theme, nature theme and so on. Take the planetary exploration theme as an example, it has seven display themes, namely, Earth, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn and Moon, to explore the mysteries of the universe on the wrist.

Huawei WATCH 4 Pro has a 1.5-inch LTPO AMOLED display screen, which supports all-weather display of AOD and intelligent dynamic switching of 1Hz or 60Hz.

In version, Huawei WATCH 4 planet series launched a total of 6 models, including Pro, Jupiter brown (Pro), Mars titanium (Pro), Venus white, Saturn brown, and fantasy moon black. CTOnews.com got the Martian titanium (Pro) version.

In the detail design, the crown adopts an inverted trapezoid design, which echoes with the shape of the case, with fine tooth lines and exquisite lines, and a red circle is embellished on the crown; a circle of highlight chamfering is used at the connection between the case and the mirror, which is more exquisite in the light.

It is worth mentioning that this time Huawei WATCH 4 Pro also uses a lighter and tougher titanium alloy TC4, it is understood that this material is often used in the aerospace field of key components, Huawei WATCH 4 Pro Martian titanium alloy strap with H-shaped design, each H-shaped strap grain has a cross-section brushed design, high-end texture and elegant style can be seen.

In terms of weight, officials say the weight of Huawei WATCH 4 Pro is 11.1% lower than that of the previous generation, and the thickness is reduced by 10.3%. The measured weight of Huawei WATCH 4 Pro Martian titanium experienced by CTOnews.com is about 110g, which is not light, and it still has a certain "foreign body feeling" to wear it. If you are used to wearing it at night, then I suggest buying an extra leather or fabric strap. Huawei WATCH 4 Pro supports the watch strap quick disassembly design, which is also convenient for disassembly and disassembly.

Of course, weight is not a problem for an all-metal watch with high-end workmanship. After all, "if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight". Some traditional high-end, luxurious metal mechanical watches can even weigh more than 150g, and Huawei's WATCH 4 Planet Series has more smart features.

Part II: health experience for a long time, Huawei insists on innovation and deep cultivation in the field of health, and is committed to bringing more professional health services to users through smart wear, and helping users achieve more professional and active health management.

He Gang has said many times in public that a good smartwatch should not only provide health data, but also provide professional health services.

So while competitors' wearable products are still focused on basic functions such as simply recording heart rates, Huawei is the first to work with medical institutions to launch heart health research to help users manage and understand the daily health of the heart. Subsequently, they successively launched watches for ECG ECG, smartwatches that can measure blood pressure, and authoritative medical institutions also launched vascular health research, respiratory health research, blood pressure health, and so on.

"Science and technology serve people and protect consumer health with science and technology" is also the concept that Huawei has long adhered to in the field of smart wearable health.

This time, on the basis of the original health monitoring function and professional health research, the brand new Huawei WATCH 4 Planet series first supports the hyperglycemia risk assessment study, which is jointly sponsored by Nanjing Gulou Hospital, Peking Union Medical College Hospital and China Association for the Promotion of International Healthcare.

It must be emphasized that the significance of this function is not to really replace professional medical devices, but to identify potential risk groups in a timely manner through hyperglycemia risk assessment study, so as to prevent it. More bluntly, the purpose of this technology is not to monitor the specific data of blood sugar, but to put more emphasis on the word "prevention". Through wearing assessment, we can screen out people who are at risk of hyperglycemia at present and in the future. Control the risk of hyperglycemia before onset.

So how does Huawei WATCH 4 Pro come true?

Based on Huawei's TruSeen TM5.0 + monitoring technology and high-performance sensors, Huawei has created a fractal algorithm for hyperglycemia, which can be worn for at least two hours during the day and at least four hours at night, and finally conducts a hyperglycemia risk assessment study based on a continuous 7-14-day analysis, according to official data.

The results of hyperglycemia risk assessment study are high-risk, medium-risk and low-risk, low-risk recommendations to continue to maintain a regular schedule, medium-risk recommendations to wear a professional blood glucose meter for numerical testing, high-risk recommendations for timely medical testing.

According to the requirements, the author wore it continuously for about a week, and the final test results showed "medium risk". Considering the author's overweight and long-term eating habits of heavy oil and salt, there is indeed this risk. Now wearing a watch for a new assessment, if you continue to show medium risk, you really need to go to the hospital to see.

The second major health feature of Huawei's WATCH 4 Planet series is "micro-physical examination".

Through the "Micro physical examination", users can quickly monitor and risk assessment of 10 items of health data, quickly detect heart rate, blood oxygen, pressure, body temperature, ECG, vascular elasticity, vascular risk screening, lung function assessment, COPD risk screening, pulmonary infection risk screening, and generate a microphysical report on both the watch and the App side in about 60 seconds.

If the micro-physical examination results are abnormal, you can read the online micro-physical examination report through Huawei Sports Health App. The professional doctors of JD.com Health Internet Hospital will respond and provide professional report interpretation services (this project is a third-party paid business).

It should also be emphasized that the application of micro-physical examination does not replace the traditional routine physical examination, but its industry significance is to turn the "physical examination" into a convenient, simple and low-cost thing, so that everyone can report the "physical examination" anytime and anywhere, know their own health data anytime and anywhere, and find out the physical problems in time and treat them in time.

Of course, don't complain, if we can have a micro-physical examination today, maybe one day we will be able to have a real physical examination on a smartwatch? After all, technology is implemented step by step.

The third health upgrade of Huawei's WATCH 4 Planet series is the addition of the Health trend report, which will monitor trend changes in sign data based on the medium-and long-term (the past 30 cycles and 180 days).

In the exercise health App, users can view the trend analysis reports of resting heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep and stress, understand the subtle changes in physical indicators, and develop a good lifestyle through continuous data accumulation.

The next health ability includes ECG ECG analysis, heart health research and vascular health research, respiratory health research and so on. It is worth mentioning that this time Huawei WATCH 4 Planet Series is equipped with standard ECG functions, including the standard version of WATCH 4.

Huawei integrates all the above health research functions into Huawei's innovative research App, eliminating the need to download a separate health research App. At the same time, Huawei has added a separate innovative research App to Huawei's WATCH 4 Pro system, and it can also quickly monitor a health study through its watch.

In terms of cardiovascular health, Huawei WATCH 4 Planet Series supports ECG ECG analysis, which can indicate sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation, ventricular extrasystole and atrial extrasystole in adults. In addition, Huawei ECG analysis software obtained the second-class medical device registration certificate of the Drug Administration.

Cardiovascular health services also include heart health research and vascular health research, which are also familiar to Huawei wearers.

For example, the Heart Health study was launched by 301 Hospital, which was officially launched in 2018 and had about 5 million participants as of March 1, 2023.

Heart health research supports arrhythmia screening and 24-hour intelligent monitoring to achieve fine classification and identification of atrial fibrillation, premature beats and no abnormalities. For people with a history of atrial fibrillation, the risk of atrial fibrillation can be predicted in real time.

Vascular health research: jointly initiated by China Association for the Promotion of International Exchange of Medical Care and Tongji Hospital affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Huawei WATCH 4 Planet Series supports vascular age detection and cardiovascular disease risk screening for the first time.

By detecting vascular elasticity and blood flow velocity, screening vascular status and aging, detecting the physiological age of blood vessels anytime and anywhere, accurately screening the risk of arteriosclerosis.

In terms of respiratory health, Huawei WATCH 4 Planet Series also supports respiratory health research and adds lung function assessment and COPD risk screening on the basis of pulmonary infection risk screening.

In terms of sleep monitoring, HUAWEI TruSleep ™3.0Sleep Monitoring Technology of Huawei WATCH 4 Planet Series can effectively improve the accuracy of sleep entry and exit and reduce the misrecognition rate of sleep monitoring. After waking up every morning, the watch will immediately promote sleep data, including sleep score, sleep duration, sleep staging chart such as deep sleep and light sleep, and time for deep sleep and light sleep.

Huawei's WATCH 4 Planet series also supports sleep apnea research.

Tell me a real case.

Since the author has serious snoring during sleep, it has been more than two years since I joined the sleep apnea study. In March this year, the author again received a call from the customer service of Hospital 301. The customer service told me on the phone that through the monitoring of the watch I was wearing, I found that I had high-frequency apnea when I slept at night. I asked about my health, and suggested sleeping on my side and going to the hospital for a check. If you don't have time to go, you can apply for free home diagnosis equipment through the "Heart Butler" service in App.

Again, Huawei's so-called "wearing a watch is wearing health" is not a gimmick, behind the cold parameters is a set of omni-directional health protection.

The purpose of Huawei WATCH 4 Planet Series is not to replace professional medical equipment, and the test results can not be used as professional clinical diagnostic data, but to help users understand their physical condition continuously in the lowest cost and most efficient way, focusing on "prevention" and timely detection and treatment.

In addition, in terms of health, there is one thing to add-Huawei's WATCH 4 Planet series of micro-physical functions currently support smartphones on a variety of systems, including Apple's iOS system. In addition, the above series of health studies also support third-party Android phones, and for Android users who are not Huawei phones, the health ecology will not be incomplete when used with Huawei WATCH watches.

Part III: intelligent interaction and sports experience are different from the GT series. Huawei WATCH digital series focuses on the "smart" track. Huawei WATCH 4 Planet Series is equipped with the brand-new HarmonyOS 3.1 system, which brings a true intelligent experience independent of mobile phones.

The first is the upgrade of eSIM independent communication capability. Huawei WATCH 3 series supports eSIM independent communication, but it is limited to the sending and receiving of phones. This time Huawei WATCH 4 Planet Series has added independent message sending and receiving function, which means that you can really use this smartwatch without your phone.

In terms of interaction, Huawei WATCH 4 Planet series has added new functions such as negative one screen, universal card and floating mission ball.

Click the crown to enter the App interface, and rotate the crown up and down to adjust the size of the icon:

In the interface of the planetary dial, rotate the crown and interact with the planet:

Thanks to the HarmonyOS 3.1 system, Huawei's WATCH 4 Planet series first supports independent navigation application Petal Maps, which can be achieved through Petal Maps on the watch side. And, click the "taxi" button in the lower left corner, you can complete a series of operations on the watch, such as recommended boarding point selection, destination search, model selection, itinerary information reminder and so on.

Huawei WATCH 4 Planet Series also supports independent payments, including convenient payment with Alipay / Wechat QR code, as well as Huawei wallet Huawei Pay touch payment.

As for the watch-end Wechat that everyone is most concerned about, Huawei's WATCH 4 Planet Series is also supported, including support for replying to messages and sending voice messages.

In terms of application ecology, Huawei WATCH 4 Planet Series supports 80 + third-party App, such as NetEase Music, KuGou Music, Sina News, lazy people listening to books, Himalayas, Tencent Sports, perpetual calendar and so on. Of course, these App are more meaningful to achieve the extension of the big screen content of the smartphone. After all, it is too suffocating to poke dots on the small screen of the watch.

Some third-party App screenshots can be downloaded from mobile and watch app stores to download the intelligence emphasized by Huawei's WATCH 4 Planet Series, and it is more about interconnection with other smart devices, such as the whole house smart, cars, mobile phones, headphones, fitness devices and other devices; for example, remote control of cars through AITO App.

Finally, I briefly mention the sports upgrade of Huawei WATCH 4 Planet series, including the newly designed vitality three rings, as well as three professional sports modes of golf, free diving and mountaineering. During outdoor adventures such as mountaineering and hiking, the trajectory can generate a map and return through the map track offline.

In terms of charging, Huawei WATCH 4 Pro uses wireless charging mode, and the battery life in all-round mode is also increased to 4.5 days. In ultra-long battery mode, it can be used for up to 21 days.

As far as the author's actual experience is concerned, without turning on eSIM, the medium-intensity use of Huawei WATCH 4 Pro is basically about 3-4 days. Although the battery life can not be compared with its own GT series, it is a real smartwatch after all, and the result is basically satisfactory.

In the end: according to the research data from the fourth quarter report of China's wearable Market released by Canalys, Huawei firmly occupies a dominant position with a market share of 26%. The reason why Huawei smart wear can achieve this result can not be separated from Huawei's innovation around product form, production process, health services and intelligent interaction.

Over the past period of time, Huawei has brought many innovative and revolutionary products in the field of smart wear, such as Huawei WATCH D, which supports blood pressure monitoring, Huawei WATCH Buds, which combines TWS headphones and smartwatch, and Huawei WATCH GT Cyber, a "modified" smart tide watch with flash shell. There are also a series of products, such as the Huawei WATCH GT series, which opened the sports health and long-range race track, and the Huawei WATCH Ultimate extraordinary Master, which launched the Beidou satellite news in the industry, which fully demonstrate Huawei's strength in smart wear form innovation and experience innovation.

In the new Huawei WATCH 4 Planet series, Huawei users' health needs-based, product technology-driven innovation, continue to create and improve a healthy ecology, whether it is the hyperglycemia risk assessment research, or the "micro-physical examination" function, all fully interpret Huawei's long-standing concept of "wearing a watch is wearing health".

So, if you need a smartwatch with a strong health service, then Huawei WATCH 4 Planet Series display is your best choice.

Some sigh that a few years ago, both smartwatches and smart bracelets were nothing more than supporting sleep and heart rate tests in terms of health, but in just a few years, now on a small smartwatch, it is surprising that so many health monitoring and health research services can be achieved.

No technology can be achieved overnight. Today, in Huawei WATCH 4 Pro, we can achieve previously unimagined hyperglycemia risk assessment and "micro-examination", so we can also look forward to what health services Huawei will bring in the future. Imagine it. It's only a matter of time.

Price Information: Huawei WATCH 4 starts at 2699 yuan and Huawei WATCH 4 Pro starts at 3399 yuan. Pre-sale will start at 21:08 on May 18 and officially go on sale at 10:08 on May 30. For details, please contact Huawei Mall, authorized e-commerce, Huawei experience store and authorized retailer.
