In the realm of intelligent watches, Huawei has never ceased its pursuit of aesthetics and visual appeal.
In May last year, the Huawei WATCH 4 series pioneered the concept of "Space Technology Aesthetics," innovatively incorporating aerospace-grade titanium alloy cases, sapphire crystal glass, and planetary watch faces, receiving unanimous praise both domestically and internationally.
The fusion of technology and aesthetics knows no bounds. Nearly a year later, Huawei has unveiled its latest upgrade to the series - the Huawei WATCH 4 Pro Space Exploration. Building upon the foundation of "Space Technology Aesthetics," this new release pays homage to space, drawing inspiration from humanity's primal drive to explore the cosmos, known as "Laval." It achieves a comprehensive evolution in visuals, craftsmanship, and user experience.
Introducing the innovative use of ultra-durable diamond-like titanium as the top-tier material, coupled with a red-and-black dual-color nano-crystalline ceramic bezel, and complemented by the Laval-themed crown and exclusive Laval-inspired watch face, it creates a visual impact akin to a spacecraft exploring space with boundless energy, embodying the fearless spirit of exploration.
The term "Laval" may not ring a bell for many, but it's actually a crucial component of rocket engines.
In 1988, Swedish inventor Gustaf de Laval devised the "Laval Nozzle." It features a converging-diverging design, shaped like an asymmetric hourglass. As gas enters the nozzle at subsonic speeds, it is compressed due to the narrowing of the nozzle. This compression forces the gas to accelerate until it reaches the throat of the nozzle, where it attains sonic velocity. Subsequently, the gas enters the diverging section where the area gradually expands, causing the gas to further expand and ultimately achieve supersonic speeds.
When the rocket combustion chamber burns the fuel, the liquid fuel is compressed and ejected through a nozzle. Because the nozzle has a shape of first contraction then expansion, the gas, compressed by the effect of the Laval, is excited by the reaction force generated by the high-pressure airflow, thereby propelling the rocket forward.
Each launch of a rocket symbolizes humanity's triumph over the shackles of gravity, as we venture into space with daring and courage, propelled by an unstoppable pursuit of excellence. Isn't this exactly what Huawei strives for? With unwavering determination, it bravely steps into the unknown, transforming futuristic dreams into innovative realities through continuous practice.
In homage to Ravel's design, the Huawei WATCH 4 Pro Space Exploration edition comes with an exclusive Ravel-themed watch face. The Ravelian nozzle exhibits a symmetrical left-right configuration, with streamlined walls tapering and expanding gradually. The inner flames surge dramatically, making it stand out with exceptional recognition compared to other smartwatches.
It is understood that this exclusive Lavalle theme watch face presents three flame dynamic effects based on the watch's battery level. When the battery is at 100%-70%, it appears in orange-yellow; at 70%-30%, it shifts to orange-red; and when the battery is below 30%, a highly recognizable blue enters the scene, adding depth to the flame colors and reminding the wearer to pay attention to the battery level.
In addition, below the exclusive Lavalle theme watch face, there is support to display seven major planets. Wearers can cleverly interact with the exclusive Lavalle theme watch face by rotating the crown. The planetary design, combined with the Lavalle nozzle shape, creates an image of a Lavalle nozzle propelling a rocket across planets at supersonic speed, exploring space, satisfying users' boundless imagination for the future.
It's worth noting that the Huawei WATCH 4 Pro Space Exploration smartwatch innovatively incorporates ultra-tough top-grade diamond-like carbon titanium material, making it Huawei's first smartwatch to use diamond-like carbon titanium.
Building upon titanium, Huawei applies a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, previously only found in traditional high-end watches, to both the watch case and strap. This achieves an extremely high surface hardness, providing unparalleled protection against wear. With its diamond-like atomic structure, this DLC coating offers twice the surface hardness of ordinary PVD coatings, delivering superior scratch resistance and durability, ensuring the watch remains pristine even after prolonged wear.
In addition, the bezel of the Huawei WATCH 4 Pro Space Exploration edition is crafted from red and black dual-color nano-crystal ceramic material, undergoing a meticulous process of 24+ steps, including 7-day gel removal firing, CNC precision machining, internal structural carving, and polishing, resulting in a finish that is resistant to scratches and corrosion.
To cater to users' outdoor exploration needs, the Huawei WATCH 4 Pro Space Exploration edition also features a sapphire glass cover, polished through over thirty processes, boasting a Mohs hardness level three grades higher than regular glass, providing robust protection for the screen. Furthermore, this smartwatch supports water resistance up to 30 meters for free diving, 5ATM swimming waterproofing, and IP68 dust and water resistance, complying with the EN 13319 diving equipment engineering standard.
The micro health examination feature of the Huawei WATCH 4 Pro for space exploration has once again been upgraded, bringing a more comprehensive, intelligent, interconnected, and professional approach to healthy living. In addition to the 60-second assessment of 10 basic health indicators, the micro health examination report now includes personal height, weight, BMI, and body fat percentage. New additions also include recent risk assessment for high blood sugar, analysis of pulse wave arrhythmias, and screening for sleep apnea, totaling 13 data points for a more comprehensive understanding of health status. The micro health examination report also includes a summary comparing the current report with the previous one, enabling users to promptly monitor changes in health data.
The Huawei WATCH 4 Pro Space Exploration Edition is the world's first wearable product to support ICCE UWB non-contact car control technology. Equipped with UWB smart car control functionality, simply raise your wrist to unlock the car door, solving the pain points of users forgetting their keys, hands being occupied by bags, or documents taking up space. It also features non-contact smart welcome, voice car control, remote car control, and other convenient and efficient smart car control experiences.
In recent years, against the backdrop of "national health," wearable devices represented by smartwatches have entered the fast lane of development. Huawei's smartwatches, smart wristbands, and other sports health products have achieved the number one shipment volume in China and the top brand awareness for over five consecutive years. Over the past few years, including hardware, services, and software apps, Huawei has shipped over 100 million wearable devices.
Starting April 8th, the Huawei WATCH 4 Pro Space Exploration Edition officially began pre-sales. Interested friends may consider visiting Huawei's official flagship store and official sales channels for further information. For more cutting-edge technology and detailed features, you can personally experience them offline.
