Today, smartwatches and TWS earbuds are increasingly becoming must-have products for consumers on the go. However, both smartwatches and earbuds are often considered as two separate devices. Embodying the spirit of innovation, Huawei created the industry’s first smartwatch with a magnetic pop-up cover design, which hosts a pair of TWS earbuds within it. The HUAWEI WATCH Buds adopts a highly cohesive structural design, using custom miniaturised precision components and advanced manufacturing processes to bring a new and convenient experience.

The dazzling diamond-facet button with a 710 Clous de Paris pattern presents a unique metallic luster with a delicate texture. It comes with a Full-grain leather strap[ If the skin on your wrist becomes irritated while you are wearing the product, please stop wearing and consult with a doctor.] made from top-layer calfskin, softly milled with exquisite textures and subtle luster adding an elegant and stylish touch.

As a first-of-its kind smartwatch designed with earbuds, the HUAWEI WATCH Buds’ innovative pop-up design allows the watch cover to instantly pop up like a pocket watch with a simple push, and the two earbuds will be found attached to the other side of the dial. This simple yet elegant idea combines technology and products together starting a new journey. To ensure an excellent product experience, Huawei WATCH Buds uses an ultra-miniature precision rotating shaft, which is designed to open and close smoothly with concave and convex wheels and has undergone 100,000 times of opening and closing, a 5kg stress test and other harsh tests, making it robust and durable.

Other than listening to music, taking calls is another essential part of owning earbuds. HUAWEI WATCH Buds are small yet mighty – built with dual microphones with audio pickup and a bone conduction sensor. The two microphones can pick up both vocals and ambient sound while the bone conduction sensor accurately identifies sounds through reverberations in the user’s bones and absorbs their voice, distinguishing it clearly from ambient noises. This is then processed by a deep neural network call (DNN) noise reduction algorithm that effectively cancels noise and enhances vocals to deliver clear calls.

In terms of sound quality, The HUAWEI WATCH Buds earbuds are equipped with a quad-magnetic full-Range Planar Diaphragm drive, enabling the small unit to deliver powerful, full-frequency, and high-resolution audio, allowing users to listen to rich sound details. In addition, HUAWEI WATCH Buds earbuds also support Triple Adaptive EQ. The sound is optimised in real-time according to the differences in ear canal structure, wearing status, and volume level, customising the sound to achieve the best full-frequency listening experience for the users. Moreover, the HUAWEI WATCH Buds also support ANC to reduce ambient noise and provide an immersive experience be it for listening to music or taking calls.

As a new smartwatch with its own earbuds, in addition to having full-featured TWS headphones, the HUAWEI WATCH Buds remains excellent in terms of functionality and experience as a watch. The smartwatch supports continuous heart rate, SpO2[ Oxygen saturation (SpO2) is the percentage of the total hemoglobin volume bound to oxygen in the blood, i.e. the concentration of blood oxygen in the blood. Automatically detects oxygen saturation at rest. This product is not a medical device, and the monitoring data and results are for information purposes only and are not intended for diagnostic or medical use.], and sleep monitoring. With the powers of Huawei’s self-designed TruSleepTM technology, the smartwatch can keep track of your sleep health and habits and also record snoring.

The earbuds come in a lightweight octagonal cylindrical design with dimensions of 21.8×10.3×10.3mm. The weight of each earbud is roughly 4g[ A single earbud weighs about 4.0 grams, data is obtained by HUAWEI labs. The weight of the earbuds can be affected by product configuration and manufacturing process, please refer to the actual product weight. Earbuds are small and the antenna may be blocked during wear. Please refer to the “Wearing Guide” on the official website.]. It is easy to wear and can be seamlessly placed back into the watch. With their cylindrical design, the earbuds provide a comfortable audio experience.

At the same time, the earbuds adopt an in-ear design without any ear handles. Compared with traditional earbuds, the gravity center of the HUAWEI WATCH Buds earbuds is closer to the ear canal making it more stable and will not be accidentally knocked off, making it the perfect fit for daily use, and exercising. In addition to Adaptive Identification Technology, HUAWEI WATCH Buds’ headphones also support new Wide-Area Auricle Touch Controls.

Wide-area auricle touch controls, covering the earbuds, auricle, and area in front of the ears, allow users to access multiple functions by just tapping their ears, enabling a wider range and more accurate touch recognition. Double tap to answer or reject a call, or play or pause a song. Triple tap to enable or disable noise cancellation. It also supports customisation, enabling users to program what they need with just a tap away.

When wearing the earbuds, HUAWEI WATCH Buds activates the Adaptive Identification Technology equipped in both left and right earbuds to measure the acceleration angular velocity based on the user’s motion through the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensor, allowing HUAWEI WATCH Buds to recognise the orientation of the earbuds worn during normal conditions. If worn in the wrong orientation, the earbuds will intelligently auto-correct the left and right audio channels, getting rid of the rigid design where left and right earbuds have to be worn and stored in a certain way. In addition, for each user’s different ear canal structure, HUAWEI WATCH Buds earbuds are also equipped with Ear Canal Adaptive technology.

The HUAWEI WATCH Buds inherits the sports and fitness technology present in Huawei’s long-running line of AI-powered wearables. It comes with 80 Sports Modes, among which are 10 professional sports modes: outdoor running, indoor running, outdoor walking, indoor walking, outdoor cycling, indoor cycling, rope skipping, elliptical machines, rowing machines, and free training. Moreover, the HUAWEI WATCH Buds allows users to manually add over 70 sports (excluding water sports).

Users can also enjoy other features such as one-click sharing of fitness records, running performance index, smart running coach, sports mode voice assistant, customisable sports accessories, customisable personal activity plans, and more.

Users can download the HUAWEI Health App, which is compatible with different operating systems, such as iOS, Android, etc., and pair it with the smartwatch for health monitoring. The HUAWEI Health App also supports other professional fitness courses such as yoga, fitness, and strength training, so you can even enjoy the HUAWEI WATCH Buds when hitting the gym or winding down while listening to meditative music.

As a smart wearable device, the HUAWEI WATCH Buds has a wealth of application scenarios. Users can slip on an earbud to answer a call, without having to fiddle around on the screen, synchronise text messages from their connected smartphones, as well as quickly reply with text messages and emojis for ease of use and convenience. The HUAWEI WATCH Buds has also expanded its usage boundaries, enabling access to a wide array of apps via Watch AppGallery.
