Huawei certifies new smartwatch EDD-B39 with satellite SMS feature
Huawei has listed a new smartwatch (EDD-B39) on the CQC database. The wearable supports a few advanced features for efficient user experience. It seems the company has a bunch of wearables in the pipeline that it may unveil one by one for consumers.
The CQC certificate counts under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of China. It validates that the devices or products fulfill the Chinese standard. Now a new Huawei watch received this certificate, implying its nearing launch.
According to the details, the new Huawei smartwatch EDD-B39 supports UWB (Ultra Wide-Band). The wireless communication tech ensures lower power consumption and high bandwidth. Users get better short-range communication with this feature.
It also supports the Beidou satellite SMS feature. The features run on the Beidou Navigation Satellite System and allow users to send or receive messages without a cellular network. It is a quite helpful feature at times of urgency.
The device also has a CW03 charging base panel and supports wireless charging. Note that the charging base model is the same as found on the Watch 4.

Before jumping to conclusions, note that the satellite SMS feature is only available to Watch Ultimate (CLB-B19). Huawei has recently certified the Watch Ultimate 2 with model number WDS-B19 with the same UWB and satellite SMS support. Now another wearable in this segment has raised several questions in the mind.
It could be one of the Watch 5 models or any other variant in the Ultimate series. If the former statement is correct, then Huawei is seemingly expanding satellite features for wearables. If the latter is correct, we may get two Watch Ultimate 2 variants.
The exact details of this new Huawei smartwatch are unclear. Perhaps we have to wait some more days to get accurate information about this wearable.
