Do you own a smartwatch? If so, is it purely a matching accessory for your smartphone? Depending on the make and model, the modern wearable is overflowing with advanced features that make it a must-have device. Popular options are typically from Apple, Samsung, Garmin, and Google. If you want a medical-grade unit, the Watch D3 is the latest version to hit the market.

Unfortunately, due to hardware restrictions in select countries, interested buyers must import this SKU. Is it worth the hassle? Depending on what you need from a smartwatch, there’s practically no direct competitor that can match what this bad boy can do. As the third-generation outing, expect a sleek and stylish design to go along with precision health monitoring capabilities.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) function was the unique selling point of flagship smartwatches a few years back. However, Huawei outpaces its rivals with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. It’s remarkable how a 46.5 mm x 41 mm x 11.3 mm wearable manages to incorporate an innovative mechanical airbag and high-precision pressure sensor.

According to Huawei, the system relies on the oscillometric method and TrueSense technology. Therefore, it can “accurately detect pulse pressure changes and provide precise blood pressure readings.” If your doctor asks you to keep track of these health metric, the Watch D3 will surely come in handy.

Other useful functions include pulse wave arrhythmia analysis, beat-by-beat ECG, coronary heart disease risk study, diabetes risk study, and other standard health monitoring insights. Since it runs on proprietary software, a full charge lasts up to six days. Until other leading consumer electronics brands release something on par with Huawei’s Watch D3, we can safely say it’s worth the extra to import.
