The anointed successor to the VivoWatch 5 features fingertip-based blood pressure and electrocardiogram measurements, as well as a 14-day battery life.

ASUS has announced the VivoWatch 6, a new flagship smartwatch that offers comprehensive health-management features with a 1.39-inch AMOLED Gorilla® Glass touchscreen with 350 nits brightness. In addition to the ASUS Blood Pressure and ASUS ECG apps, the VivoWatch 6 comes with the ability to measure body composition, sleep quality, as well as a Relaxation Index and Body Harmony Analysis. The watch weighs in at 60 grams, and also features dual-band GPS and up to 14 days of battery life.

“Leveraging cutting-edge innovations and years of medical expertise, ASUS VivoWatch 6 is designed to help users keep track of their long-term health goals easily, allowing them to monitor vital health stats anytime, anywhere to truly achieve preventive healthcare,” said Sharon Pan, senior director of Smart Health Product Planning at ASUS.

Health at Your Fingertips

According to ASUS, the VivoWatch 6 is equipped with two sets of medical-grade ECG and PPG sensors, offering the wearer convenient fingertip measurements, while the outer ring of the watch features a bioelectrical impedance (BIA) sensor to measure body composition. Placing one's thumb and index finger on the watch face sensor will reveal body fat and skeletal muscle percentages, water content, and basal metabolic rate.

The VivoWatch 6 is also capable of monitoring the balance of the autonomic nervous system and uses heart rate variability (HRV) as the basis to calculate the Relaxation Index to show the wearer's short-term stress levels. The Body Harmony Analysis feature on the other hand, presents the wearer’s daily emotional status over the past week in a simplified seven-grid chart.

ASUS HealthConnect App

The latest ASUS HealthConnect app provides the wearer with all tracked health parameters at a glance, and also includes the Care Track cloud-based service that allows family members to view the wearer’s location and health status in real time – a feature ideal for those caring for the elderly.
