SHENZHEN, China — June 16, 2025:
Huawei has emerged as the world’s top wristwatch brand in the first quarter of 2025, according to the latest IDC Worldwide Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker. This milestone marks a major achievement for the Shenzhen-based technology giant, which also surpassed 200 million cumulative wearable shipments as of June 5, 2025.
Huawei’s continued ascent in the global wearables market is underpinned by its five strategically developed product lines designed to meet diverse user needs—ranging from high-performance sports tracking and health diagnostics to fashion-forward everyday wear.
Leading the portfolio is the HUAWEI WATCH series, offering standalone calling, smart vehicle control, and the newly launched HUAWEI WATCH 5, which features X-TAP multi-sensor technology for advanced tactile and health monitoring. Meanwhile, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT series caters to users looking for ultra-light design and fitness versatility, while the WATCH GT line combines long battery life with professional-grade sports and health features.
For adventure seekers and extreme condition users, Huawei’s WATCH Ultimate series delivers rugged reliability with 100-meter diving support, expedition modes, and golf course analytics. The WATCH D series, meanwhile, pioneers wrist-based blood pressure monitoring, offering users 24-hour dynamic tracking—already certified as a Class II medical device in China and integrated into national hypertension guidelines.
Huawei’s dedication to research and innovation has played a pivotal role in this success. The company operates three global health labs and collaborates with more than 160 institutions across 300+ health research initiatives. Its TruSense digital health system, updated in 2025, now enables fingertip and wrist-based detection for faster, more accurate physiological data monitoring—including 10-second blood oxygen measurements and tracking across 17 key health indicators.
Beyond hardware, Huawei's influence extends into lifestyle transformation. Since launching the “Light Up Your Rings” campaign in 2023, which attracted over 6 million participants and recorded 300 million ring activations, the brand has deepened user engagement with the 2025 rollout of the “Active Rings” initiative. Encouraging joyful movement worldwide, the program has already launched in Germany, Spain, and China, with upcoming expansions across the Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East.
With over 1,000 smart wearable patents and regulatory certifications across 13 countries, Huawei continues to lead the convergence of smart living and precision health monitoring. Its first-quarter dominance in 2025 not only reaffirms its market leadership but sets a new standard for what wearables can deliver to global consumers.
