Both models offer better sleep tracking, atrial fibrillation (a-fib) analysis, and standard health features. The Pro model adds ECG and arterial stiffness detection, plus women’s health management with a temperature sensor that tracks wrist temperature and predicts periods, ovulation, and cycles.
The smartwatch also includes built-in GPS and Bluetooth calling. It runs on Huawei’s HarmonyOS and works with both Android and iOS devices.
