Huawei launched the HUAWEI Watch D2 in September 2024, following the original Watch D and building on it with advanced 24-hour health monitoring tools, including blood pressure and ECG capabilities, all right from your wrist. With a bright 1.82-inch AMOLED display, sleek aluminium design, and support for over 80 workout modes, it blends professional health tools with the convenience of a modern smartwatch. Whether you want to keep an eye on your heart health, track fitness goals, or simply enjoy smart features like Bluetooth calling and NFC payments, the Watch D2 is designed to fit both your lifestyle and health needs.
This is not the first time I’m writing about a Huawei product; I have previously written about the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ulta, which is a flagship smartphone. Feel free to check this one out for your reference.

Huawei officially launched the Watch D2 in Europe with a price tag of €399, which is roughly ₹38,000, and major retailers and Huawei’s official stores already offer it. In the UK, the price of this smartwatch at around £349.99 and customers can purchase it online and in stores. However, in India, the Watch D2 has not yet been officially released, though reports suggest an imminent launch with an expected price of around ₹34,999. A recent listing spotted on Amazon India indicates that availability is coming soon, but for now, it remains marked as “currently unavailable.” This means customers in Europe and the UK can buy it right away from the Amazon UK store, while Indian buyers may need to wait a little longer. You can see how it measures the blood pressure in the video below.
