As I listened to a presentation a couple of weeks ago by Rico Zhang, Huawei’s President of Smart Wearable and Health Product Line, in Shenzhen, China, I came to the realisation that even though the company isn’t shouting about it from the rooftops, it has built one of the most robust (and proactive) wearable health systems in the world.
I can’t say I was surprised to learn this, as I’ve been reviewing Huawei smartwatches for years, and the innovation has always been apparent in almost all of the brand’s products. However, once considered a rising global force in mobile and wearable tech, Huawei found itself sidelined by Western markets after the US trade ban in 2019, which must have been a massive blow, and not just financially.
