Huawei has introduced its heart failure risk assessment tool for the Watch GT 6 Pro, bringing advanced health monitoring to the premium smartwatch.
The feature, initially launched with the Watch Ultimate 2 in January, is now expanding to the Watch GT 6 Pro model. This allows users to evaluate their risk of coronary heart failure directly from their wrist.
Currently, the functionality remains exclusive to users in China.
Premium Build and Display
The Watch GT 6 Pro sits at the top of Huawei’s smartwatch lineup. It features a durable construction with sapphire glass and aerospace-grade titanium alloy.
The device sports a 1.47-inch AMOLED display capable of reaching 3000 nits peak brightness. This ensures clear visibility even under direct sunlight.
Battery and Software
Battery life remains a strong suit for the model. With typical usage, the watch lasts up to two weeks. In maximum power-saving mode, it extends to 21 days.
The Watch GT 6 series was the first to ship with HarmonyOS 6 out of the box. It offers exclusive watch faces and a range of health tracking tools.
New Health Assessment Feature
The latest upgrade arrives via HarmonyOS version 6.0.0.188. It adds the coronary heart failure risk assessment capability.
To use the feature, users must enrol in the coronary heart failure campaign through the Huawei Innovation Research app on their paired device. The watch collects vital health data under different conditions during both day and night.
After a monitoring period of three to four days, users receive a coronary heart failure risk assessment result. Huawei has confirmed that this feature is currently restricted to Chinese models only.
