Huawei Watch 5 set to bring smarter health features to your fingertips

Huawei Watch 5 is coming, and it will surely impress users with its smarter health features. Why smarter? Well, this time, the company is taking the wearable innovation beyond imagination with a unique finger touch sensor technology.

The company has started sharing Watch 5’s partial look on X. Even though the teaser didn’t reveal major details, they shared a significant insight of the new wearable.

After the launch confirmation, the first promotional clip reflected that the Huawei Watch 5 will be the first wearable to feature finger touch sensors. In case you are confusing it with fingerprint sensors, then you can be wrong.

A finger touch sensor refers to a common sensor that detects any physical contact (specifically a finger) on the surface. Such sensors use capacitance, pressure, and other ways to identify the finger and turn on certain operations right away.

Simply put, a finger touch sensor will let you interact with the device via any buttons or the screen. But the case is even more interesting when it comes to Watch 5!

Teasers reveal that the Huawei Watch 5 may enable users to access health features more smartly and conveniently than ever before. A simple touch on the sensor can let you unlock a whole new monitoring experience.

Watch 5 could bring a “quick health check-in” capability that will let users look after their temperature, heart rate, ECG, SpO2, and some other tools without even unlocking the watch or scrolling through apps and assessments.

Based on the finger touch sensors, the smartwatch may further allow users to get faster and more accurate outcomes of the health assessments every time.

Apart from health features access, the finger touch sensors let you perform tap, slow touch, and tap + hold gestures to quickly finish tasks without opting for a lengthy process. One can also see an indicator for these gestures.

And who knows, Huawei may introduce Harmony Intelligence features with the Watch 5 wearables, making the health experience the best for its users.

Huawei Watch 5 is on the way, and it will launch on the consumer stage on 15 May. By that time, we can gather more details about the beautiful top-end wearable.
