Health insights and daily tracking
Health Insights and Body Readiness provide information about physical recovery and daily condition. The watches also track diet, sleep, exercise and stress or mood management as part of their daily health goals.
An AI model analyzes health and activity data, including diet, daily behavior, sleep and workout metrics, to identify trends and provide recommendations. HUAWEI Health services include three months of membership covering workout training, diet management, sleep improvement and stress or mood regulation.
HarmonyOS 7.0 and Celia
HarmonyOS 7.0 brings Celia voice assistance to both watches. Users can issue voice commands for tasks such as controlling home appliances, setting medication reminders, translating conversations, navigating to locations, topping up mobile credit and getting information.
Celia can also answer questions about workout suitability and sleep analysis, while converting complex textual information into visual charts. Celia Suggestions can provide traffic information and schedule reminders, with task management syncing with Huawei smartphones.
