The Huawei Watch 5 introduces an innovative side sensor utilizing multi-sensing X-TAP technology to enhance health tracking by measuring metrics from the fingertip, including EKGs and blood oxygen. This approach significantly improves signal quality, allowing for quicker readings. Users can perform a comprehensive 60-second health check and monitor various health metrics. Although the Watch 5 offers incremental updates in functionality and design, the breakthrough in its sensor technology sets it apart in the smartwatch market, despite limited availability in the U.S.
Huawei claims that this leads to a 10 to 50 times improvement in signal quality, which may not be completely baseless.
The fingertip is often considered to be a great area for obtaining heart rate data because it has a lot of capillaries and good blood perfusion.
