Huawei has officially opened pre-orders for the HUAWEI WATCH 5, marking a new chapter in its legacy of wearable innovation. Priced at AED 1,599, the new smartwatch will be available for pre-order starting today via Huawei’s official website. With its pioneering X-TAP multi-sensing technology, advanced health monitoring features, intuitive gesture controls, and precision craftsmanship, the HUAWEI WATCH 5 continues to set new benchmarks in the global smartwatch industry.
Game-Changing X-TAP Technology for Health and Interaction
At the core of the HUAWEI WATCH 5 is the revolutionary Multi-sensing X-TAP system. This industry-first integration of ECG, PPG, and tactile sensors allows for fingertip-based health readings—far surpassing conventional wrist-based tracking. Users can activate “Health Glance” with a 3-second fingertip press, accessing a full report across 11 health metrics, including heart rate variability (HRV), emotional status, and SpO2 levels—all delivered in just 60 seconds.
The standout feature is the smartwatch’s fingertip blood oxygen monitoring, which delivers accurate readings in under 10 seconds thanks to the superior vascular sensitivity of fingertip skin. This leap in health tech ensures better data precision, faster analysis, and more personalised health insights.
Aerospace-Inspired Design Meets Luxurious Materials
Inspired by the Kármán Line, the HUAWEI WATCH 5’s design reflects the boundary between Earth and space—fusing minimalism with technical elegance. Available in 42mm and 46mm sizes, the series offers a variety of luxury materials:
-
42mm: Crafted from 904L stainless steel, available in Sand Gold and Beige.
-
46mm: Made with aerospace-grade titanium, 45% lighter yet nearly twice as strong as stainless steel, in Purple.
-
Both models also offer versions in 316L stainless steel for a clean, minimalist look.
Each edition features durable spherical sapphire glass and is paired with one of three premium straps—titanium, fluoroelastomer, or a new composite material that mimics leather while being waterproof, stain-resistant, and odour-free.
Enhanced Usability with Intuitive Gestures and Connectivity
The HUAWEI WATCH 5 is also redefining smartwatch interaction with gesture-based controls. The Double Tap and Double Slide functions allow users to take calls, control music, and operate smartphone cameras—ideal for hands-free moments or when interacting directly with the screen is inconvenient.
The smartwatch supports eSIM connectivity, allowing users to stay connected without their phone. It also features a dual-mode battery system, offering:
-
Up to 4.5 days (46mm) or 3 days (42mm) in Standard Mode
-
Extended life of 11 days (46mm) or 7 days (42mm) in Battery Saver Mode
With these improvements, Huawei continues to merge technology, wellness, and aesthetics, reinforcing its leadership in the wearable space and enabling users to take greater control of their health and lifestyle.
