Huawei Technologies unveiled its latest generation of wearable devices and audio equipment at a major European launch event in Munich, according to reporting by TechRadar. The hardware rollout brings advanced sport-tracking capabilities, medical-grade health monitoring, and new audio hardware to international markets, led by the Huawei Watch GT 7 series and FreeBuds Neo earphones.
Huawei Watch GT 7 and GT 7 Pro Bring Advanced Cycling and Skiing Metrics
The flagship Huawei Watch GT 7 and Watch GT 7 Pro expand on the brand’s traditional blend of classic watch aesthetics and specialized athletic functions, based on TechRadar’s hands-on coverage. The standard GT 7 model comes in 41 mm and 46 mm sizes, whereas the Pro variant incorporates a titanium alloy case and a nanoceramic frame alongside IP69 ingress protection. According to Huawei’s presentation specifications cited by TechRadar, the Watch GT 7 Pro delivers up to 21 days of battery life under light usage conditions and 12 days under normal daily operation.
For cyclists, the Watch GT 7 Pro introduces Sharp Turn Alert functionality to notify riders of upcoming tight bends, alongside upcoming climb analysis and route reminders. The wearable also estimates rider power output directly from the wrist without requiring a separate power meter—a capability carried over from previous generations—while adding AI-powered training insights and fall detection, as reported by TechRadar.
Pro Tip: Cyclists utilizing unfamiliar routes can pair the Watch GT 7 Pro’s wrist-based navigation and Sharp Turn Alerts to preemptively manage steep descents and sudden hairpin turns.
Detailed Winter Sports Tracking and Ski Maps
Winter sports enthusiasts receive dedicated tracking upgrades in the Watch GT 7 series, which Huawei characterizes as the first smartwatches capable of wrist-based registration for both turns and G-forces during skiing sessions. TechRadar notes that the devices track run trajectories and slope difficulty levels alongside real-time G-force metrics.
Out of the box, the software includes pre-loaded maps for over 3 000 ski resorts, a new indoor skiing tracking mode, and route-filtering tools. According to TechRadar, these additions represent a significant expansion of winter sports utility compared to previous iterations in the GT product family.
Health Monitoring and Blood Pressure Tracking with Watch D3
Beyond fitness metrics, the Watch GT 7 lineup incorporates Huawei’s TruSense monitoring architecture and Sunflower Positioning System, feeding data into upgraded day-form analysis tools. The watches are offered in six color configurations, while the Pro model comes in three colors and features the new EasyCross strap design, which tucks the loose end beneath the main band.
Simultaneously, Huawei announced the medical-grade Watch D3, building on the framework of the D2 model evaluated by TechRadar. The Watch D3 introduces pre- and post-workout blood pressure measurements executed via a physical air cushion embedded in the strap, plus continuous 24-hour monitoring. The device holds a medical CE certification under the European Union Medical Device Regulation (MDR).
FreeBuds Neo Wireless Earphones and Swedish Pricing
The audio category expansion is anchored by the Huawei FreeBuds Neo, utilizing an adaptive noise cancellation system that adjusts automatically to ambient surroundings driven by Huawei’s proprietary Turbo Driver hardware. TechRadar reports that the earbuds support a 10 Hz to 48 kHz frequency range, LDAC codec compatibility for lossless audio transmission up to 2.3 Mbps, and spatial audio.
The FreeBuds Neo deliver up to 30 dB of noise cancellation across the frequency spectrum and provide a total battery life of 40 hours when combined with the charging case. Supporting simultaneous multi-device pairing across multiple operating systems, the earbuds launch in silver, white, and black.
Pricing and Availability in Sweden
In the Swedish market, the Huawei Watch GT 7 carries a recommended retail price of 3 199 kronor, while the Watch GT 7 Pro is priced at 4 699 kronor, with a domestic release scheduled for September 21, according to TechRadar. Introductory promotional discounts of 400 SEK on the standard model and 700 SEK on the Pro variant run through October 18.

The Watch D3 will be available in white and light brown variants, both featuring a gold-toned casing. TechRadar notes that while the Watch 6 series and MatePad Pro 12 tablet were also displayed in Munich, Huawei has not yet confirmed Swedish release timelines for those specific products.
Did you know? The Huawei Watch D3 utilizes a physical inflatable air cushion built directly into the wristband to take accurate blood pressure readings before and after physical exertion.
