A new update has arrived for the Huawei Watch D2. This release adds a blood pressure-related tool, alongside improvements for the smartwatch’s heart rate app. Plus, there is a new watch face centred around health metrics and the wearable’s health check functionality.

Huawei is rolling out a new global update for the Watch D2 smartwatch. Software version 6.0.0.12 (C00M06) is bringing several new features to users of the original version of this wearable, so it matches the recently released Watch D2 Blue Edition (curr. €349 at Amazon DE).

The release notes for software version 6.0.0.12, as reported by Huaweiblog.de, state that all Watch D2 users can now get a reminder to take a one-off blood pressure measurement. You will receive the alert at your chosen time, with the company suggesting that it will help users to establish a routine. There is another improvement linked to the heart rate app; here, you can now view heart rate variability (HRV) data, as well as a log of historical workout and recovery heart rate data. There are also said to be optimizations to the user interface.

In the change log, Huawei indicates that there is a new HealthMate watch face. This option provides your latest health metrics, as well as a shortcut to start a new health check to collect new data. On top of this, there are said to be general improvements to system stability. Software version 6.0.0.12 appears to be rolling out to users of the Huawei Watch D2 in phases. When it is available, you will be able to download it via the Huawei Health app.
