Paris was the stylish venue for the launch of the most stylish smartwatch yet from the market leader, writes ARTHUR GOLDSTUCK. The best time for any brand to launch a leading-edge device in a category is when it leads that category. In this context, when Huawei unveiled the stylish new Watch GT 6 series at a global launch event in Paris today (Friday), its marketing messages were no longer seen as hype. Messaging underwater up to 30 metres and SOS alerts up to 60 metres can turn the watch into a lifeline as much as a logbook. On the health monitoring front, the Watch D2 made a return, dressed in blue and emphasising blood pressure tracking.
