Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s Consumer Business, announced on Weibo that Huawei’s wearable devices have risen to the top spot in global market share. At the same time, the new Xi’an Sports and Health Laboratory has officially opened. Huawei also plans to build another Sports and Health Laboratory in Songshan Lake, Dongguan.
Yu introduced the Huawei Sports and Health Science Laboratory on Weibo. This lab brings together more than 40 researchers and developers with professional backgrounds in fields such as computer software, engineering, physics, mathematics, and sports science. They collaboratively develop more innovative research methods to help more people exercise scientifically and live healthier lives. As is widely known, Huawei’s smart wearable products feature an impressive two-week battery life, 17 professional sports modes including running, swimming, and skiing, and support professional health monitoring functions such as heart rate, ECG, and sleep tracking. All these scientific experiences originate from the Huawei Sports and Health Laboratory.
Richard Yu stated that in the future, we will test more smart wearable products here, and only those that pass the tests will be launched to the market. At the same time, we will integrate Huawei’s global and local sports health innovation capabilities to create an innovative, leading, and open-shared Huawei sports and health ecosystem.
Earlier, IDC released a quarterly tracking report on China’s wearable device market for the third quarter of 2020, showing that Huawei ranked first with shipments of 9.414 million units, a market share of 28.6%, and year-on-year growth of 60.5%.
