00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.840
Every smartwatch on the market has workout modes in order to monitor your performance and vital statistics

00:00:04.840 --> 00:00:10.400
But if you've ever used an off-brand watch, you know that sometimes it feels like they might as well be just guessing

00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:14.760
So how do the leaders in the space do better? For Huawei who sponsored this video

00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:23.600
The answer is in the building behind me where we're gonna be the first Western media to ever check out the science behind the sport modes of their GT6 Pro and

00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:30.640
Ultimate two watches they've got indoor facilities for rock climbing basketball golfing and even swimming plus an

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:40.580
outdoor bike route through a European style village whatever that means for developing and validating their workout modes that rely on GPS and mapping like their new

00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:46.560
Virtual power feature. I'm almost afraid to find out how much power I generate. Let's hope it's not too embarrassing

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:55.880
Let's get into it This place is like the ultimate adult playground for tech enthusiasts and gym rats alike in the center of the 200 meter track

00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:00.440
That runs outside then back inside the building is their motion capture court

00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:05.280
It's set up for basketball and badminton right now, but nothing prevents it from being used for other sports

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:14.040
It's got a ring of 30 10,000 frame per second motion capture cameras all around the outside of it with millimeter level accuracy and in the past

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:18.280
They've also used specialized 3d scanners even higher speed cameras and

00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:25.280
3d force platforms along with the compute system that belongs to the Chinese Sports Authority to work with team China Olympic athletes

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:31.160
I'm no Olympic athlete, but I told them I would love to try out the motion capture apparently it takes about an hour to get started

00:01:31.160 --> 00:01:39.320
So we better get going they've got to put down a reference point set up some regular cameras so that we have actual video and not just the

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:42.560
Motion capture dots. I've got to put this over my swoosh

00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:49.040
Not because they're worried about the branding But because it could interfere with the tracking and then this was kind of cool

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.200
They just have this wand that they kind of wave around in order to calibrate the system

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.600
I had to take my earrings off because the motion capture cameras are looking for these reflective dots

00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:02.040
So those of you in the audience who have been asking for this for all these years. You're finally getting your wish

00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:10.000
Regular viewers might know that out of all the sports we're testing today badminton is the only one that I really play

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:17.160
So while I wait for them to build my model I'm gonna go ahead and do a couple of quick footwork drills just to try out their badminton modes got to be ready to move

00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:24.920
Anywhere on the court at any given moment. That was not very good footwork, but I have not done enough

00:02:25.600 --> 00:02:27.600
footwork lately and

00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:36.000
stuff Highly aerobic and fat burning anyone who thinks badminton is not exercise

00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:38.640
Not playing it right

00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:45.560
I apparently sweat so much during that short session that we're having trouble getting the dots to stick back on me

00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:51.160
Under normal circumstances, they would use a bodysuit for this like you can see they're sticking to my clothes just fine

00:02:51.160 --> 00:02:53.840
But we had to get a little creative here

00:02:55.160 --> 00:03:01.860
Hey, all right, so I go do my shot. I go do my other shot. I go up

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:05.120
Lift oh, that's so cool

00:03:07.480 --> 00:03:12.160
Dang So you can see the hip triangle right there

00:03:13.880 --> 00:03:17.120
Got the leg wire frame now

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.400
To do it properly they need to do post-processing and post analysis

00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.640
So we're working on maybe getting the file for this

00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:30.320
But in the preview alone you can see how something like this could be very useful for form analysis

00:03:30.760 --> 00:03:35.600
The motion capture system supports all kinds of different sports that can be played on a flat surface

00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:40.760
Including court games like basketball This one I don't know how well I'm gonna be able to demo though

00:03:41.320 --> 00:03:43.960
Imagine the basketball skills of a short-weight Canadian

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.760
Now imagine that he isn't Steve Nash

00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:12.080
Fortunately, there's lots more to see like the courts this treadmill is

00:04:12.320 --> 00:04:16.640
Packed to the gills with sensors for biometrics and motion capture and analysis

00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:23.580
It supports the obvious things like walking and running but also some less obvious stuff like biking

00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:28.440
Skiing and even skateboarding Can I try skateboarding on it?

00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.960
He really didn't want me to do that before we rolled the camera, but we talked him into it

00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:39.000
I'm not a skateboarder. So this is gonna be something

00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:44.760
uh-huh Safety step one is to get into the harness that acts as an emergency stop

00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:49.000
So if I pulled down on this the treadmill cuts out

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.840
Go Okay, we'll start with a light walk

00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:59.600
Okay, that's not really a light walk anymore heart rate increasing

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:05.000
95 97 Going a little faster

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:11.440
I don't know how fast that is but now it's starting to get pretty fast. Give me a little bit more

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:13.600
Man, that's probably about as fast as I can

00:05:21.320 --> 00:05:27.080
Yeah, so I was a minute of running I might need more cardio in my life

00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:33.220
Obviously I didn't run enough to get a real workout. That's why I'm not sweating right now

00:05:33.660 --> 00:05:40.740
But it was enough for us to get a little bit of analytics here and apparently my ground contact time is excellent

00:05:41.380 --> 00:05:45.380
Now, let's see how quickly I contact the ground on the skateboard. Okay, I

00:05:48.580 --> 00:05:55.500
Haven't even attempted to ride a skateboard since I was probably in high school. Okay. We ready. This is going to be disastrous

00:05:56.860 --> 00:06:04.140
It's a little funky because it's more of a like You know a push type of sport and the treadmill is consistent, you know

00:06:05.620 --> 00:06:10.220
Okay, can I whoo, uh-huh. Yeah, sure I could skateboard

00:06:13.420 --> 00:06:15.420
Whoa, okay, I

00:06:20.580 --> 00:06:23.980
Can tell from all the marks on the wall that's not the first time that happened

00:06:24.820 --> 00:06:29.580
Just like everything we've seen so far their rock climbing wall was built so that they can compare

00:06:29.980 --> 00:06:37.140
The data that they get off of their watches to the data that they get with a golden standard like motion capture or in this case

00:06:37.460 --> 00:06:41.780
Climbing against a calibrated height, which is exactly 10.5 meters

00:06:42.540 --> 00:06:47.980
Personally, I just think he really likes rock climbing and he wanted to expense this wall, but they won't confirm that. Oh

00:06:48.820 --> 00:06:52.180
God Yeah, I'm not gonna do well at this

00:06:54.060 --> 00:07:01.140
No, no, no, I Am totally using my arms too much. I know it and I'm still doing it

00:07:01.980 --> 00:07:06.180
What the heck? Yay

00:07:07.620 --> 00:07:13.980
Now one of the coolest safety features of the GT6 Pro is of course its fall detection, but

00:07:14.900 --> 00:07:19.300
While you can measure climbing altitude with sensors and real people

00:07:19.460 --> 00:07:23.620
You can't exactly drop real people off the top of this structure. So what do they do?

00:07:23.980 --> 00:07:28.420
That's where my good friends comes in. Let's just get this watch on you there, buddy

00:07:32.420 --> 00:07:34.420
Nice

00:07:43.420 --> 00:07:52.660
You okay buddy So in an emergency the watch will automatically call emergency services either through eSIM

00:07:52.660 --> 00:07:58.820
If available like it is on the ultimate 2 or through the Bluetooth connection to your phone like with the GT6 Pro

00:07:59.180 --> 00:08:08.100
Now this is cool They built a small pool that can be temperature controlled anywhere from 5 to 45 degrees Celsius and has a paddle at one end

00:08:08.100 --> 00:08:12.260
That can create a current of up to one and a half meters per second

00:08:12.260 --> 00:08:18.420
It's designed to simulate real-world conditions and uses a combination of underwater sensors and cameras to track your speed

00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:22.340
Heart rate calorie burn and even your stroke form for later analysis

00:08:22.500 --> 00:08:25.100
Let's see how I do with the watch ultimate 2

00:08:37.180 --> 00:08:46.540
Look at that and even me what stroke I was doing warm up. Come on man. I'm trying here. Let's turn it up to maximum

00:08:52.780 --> 00:08:57.460
That's pretty fast. I wouldn't be able to do that for very long

00:08:58.460 --> 00:09:01.180
Heart rate went up a little faster that time

00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:03.980
And it says I'm not just warming up

00:09:05.020 --> 00:09:08.540
Thank you watch appreciate you

00:09:08.540 --> 00:09:13.700
Another use case they can test in here is scuba and that's a major focus for the watch ultimate 2

00:09:13.700 --> 00:09:19.460
It's rated for submersion to 150 meters and has all kinds of essential features like a compass and dive tracker

00:09:19.740 --> 00:09:25.940
Another really cool feature is called diver comms It allows you to send underwater pre-programmed messages emojis and

00:09:26.220 --> 00:09:32.260
SOS to other Huawei watch ultimate 2 users using sonic pulses. This is pretty huge

00:09:32.260 --> 00:09:39.620
I don't know if you guys know this but my wife almost died in a dive accident once because as it turns out the gestures for come

00:09:39.620 --> 00:09:44.140
Here and share air look basically the same when you're doing a night dive

00:09:44.580 --> 00:09:50.300
Fortunately by the time she said out of there I had already come here and I was able to give her my backup read

00:09:50.300 --> 00:09:54.260
So I am very pro anything that enhances underwater communication

00:09:54.980 --> 00:10:01.620
This is cool. Who needs top golf when you have Huawei golf all we do is fire up the golf analysis on the watch

00:10:02.060 --> 00:10:04.700
Hit this button and we're ready to go. I

00:10:06.300 --> 00:10:08.300
Have not golfed much

00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:11.860
And it shows

00:10:12.860 --> 00:10:15.100
We can do better we can do better. Oh

00:10:16.300 --> 00:10:22.820
That's so mean it says I suck. No, I'm kidding. It doesn't say that. Okay. I'll try hitting the ball this time. That'll be good

00:10:23.340 --> 00:10:25.340
Okay, ready

00:10:28.820 --> 00:10:31.740
Yeah, that's a little low into the outside

00:10:32.500 --> 00:10:38.740
Even worse than last time. Oh, that's cool. It shows you the video of your last stroke. Check this out

00:10:39.180 --> 00:10:43.620
The watch includes little coaching insights like how to grip the club and how to swing

00:10:44.060 --> 00:10:47.520
Or maybe for most people it doesn't and that's just because it saw how I did it

00:10:48.660 --> 00:10:55.620
Unsurprisingly given the sports popularity in China, there are two table tennis setups one that has an automatic ball tracking system and

00:10:55.740 --> 00:11:01.500
A second out on the motion capture floor with an automated feeding robot. Okay, this I have to try. Oh

00:11:02.380 --> 00:11:04.380
My god

00:11:09.380 --> 00:11:11.380
Ah

00:11:12.940 --> 00:11:19.860
Okay, well we found yet another sport I suck at but I'm told not to feel too bad because

00:11:20.380 --> 00:11:26.860
Apparently this can be configured to feed with the same spin and placement as a professional coach. So I

00:11:27.540 --> 00:11:31.300
Don't think that was the highest level we were on just now, but let's ignore that

00:11:31.900 --> 00:11:36.100
Apparently we're not moving on we're gonna do the professional Oh

00:11:38.860 --> 00:11:40.860
What the heck

00:11:43.780 --> 00:11:48.140
They've got lots of options for cycling exercise bikes the multi-purpose treadmill

00:11:48.140 --> 00:11:53.060
We saw before and of course the orange track all of those can be used for the same kind of analysis

00:11:53.060 --> 00:11:58.780
We've discussed already something we can't do in the lab though is simulate actual real world movement

00:11:58.780 --> 00:12:03.300
And that is where the European village comes in this was a themed

00:12:03.620 --> 00:12:09.980
Construction project for their R&D center and offices, but it also happens to be a picturesque biking route

00:12:09.980 --> 00:12:15.160
So we're gonna be checking out the true sport system on the GT6 Pro in real time now

00:12:15.380 --> 00:12:21.460
Obviously it relies on biometrics like your heart rate blood oxygen ECG all that kind of stuff

00:12:21.460 --> 00:12:27.820
But it also relies on environmental factors like your real-world speed and even the type of bike

00:12:27.860 --> 00:12:33.860
You're using in order to get an accurate calculation for your virtual power now all that remains is to see what kind of score

00:12:33.860 --> 00:12:35.860
I can get ripping through here. I

00:12:36.860 --> 00:12:40.620
Don't remember the last time I rode a bike, but hey, you know what they say it's like riding a bike

00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:49.660
Let's go don't mind me in my European village

00:12:57.820 --> 00:13:01.660
I'm coming around to the LMG town idea after all

00:13:02.900 --> 00:13:05.500
Okay, okay, I had enough for now

00:13:06.580 --> 00:13:08.580
Let's check the virtual power

00:13:09.580 --> 00:13:15.500
My longest ride 1.3 kilometers. No way that was 1.3 kilometers. It can't be

00:13:16.180 --> 00:13:20.700
What is it? I don't know who knows okay? stretch blah blah speed

00:13:20.980 --> 00:13:24.780
Okay, what do we got? total elevation gain

00:13:24.980 --> 00:13:30.580
Where's my virtual power maximum heart rate 150 zero minutes in extreme heart rate

00:13:33.300 --> 00:13:39.140
Virtual power all right. I peaked at 289 watts of virtual power and

00:13:40.740 --> 00:13:45.380
Actually, if my cycling machine at the gym is anything to go by that's probably

00:13:46.300 --> 00:13:51.740
About right when I'm going really hard. I'm not like a professional athlete or anything like that pretty cool

00:13:51.780 --> 00:13:55.220
What of information in here with the lab tour complete?

00:13:55.220 --> 00:13:58.220
It's time to take a closer look at the products that we feature today

00:13:58.220 --> 00:14:05.060
And what better place to do it than Huawei's flagship store in Nanshan then I'm trying to imagine the meeting with the architect for this place

00:14:05.580 --> 00:14:08.780
We want it to look hyper-modern, but we need it to be functional

00:14:08.820 --> 00:14:14.020
We want customers to be able to interact with small electronic devices like laptops smartphones and wearables

00:14:14.020 --> 00:14:19.660
Oh and also much bigger ones like cars and it should have an interactive smart home showcase powered by AI

00:14:19.980 --> 00:14:25.580
Also, could you squeeze in some stadium seating for large group meetings? That would be great. Thanks. And yes

00:14:26.340 --> 00:14:28.620
somehow they understood the assignment and

00:14:29.540 --> 00:14:36.940
Absolutely nailed it Let's start with the watch we were using during our cycling test and on the climbing wall the GT6 Pro

00:14:36.940 --> 00:14:40.700
The design of this watch was laser focused on athletic users

00:14:40.700 --> 00:14:46.340
It's got sapphire glass for high durability and a wide variety of bands both sport friendly

00:14:47.180 --> 00:14:50.380
Not sweat absorbent and also more fashion oriented

00:14:50.380 --> 00:14:55.980
It offers up to 21 days of battery life in its most power conservative mode and features a

00:14:56.300 --> 00:15:01.020
3000 nit display for outdoor use it's got altitude monitoring and what they call sunflower

00:15:01.540 --> 00:15:08.020
Navigation which basically means it can connect to up to six different navigational satellites for sub eight meter positional accuracy

00:15:08.340 --> 00:15:13.940
That is super important for uses like jogging and cycling where it's hard to say exactly how hard you're working

00:15:13.980 --> 00:15:18.740
If the watch can't tell where you are and where you're going the other one we feature today is so new

00:15:18.740 --> 00:15:22.580
It's not even on the showroom yet the watch ultimate to in a nutshell

00:15:22.580 --> 00:15:25.700
It does everything the GT6 Pro does but better

00:15:25.700 --> 00:15:31.740
So it's still a highly capable sport watch just with a touch more style and some extras the underwater

00:15:32.060 --> 00:15:36.500
Communication that we saw in the pool. It's great for diving. That's exclusive to this model

00:15:36.500 --> 00:15:42.740
It also has eSIM and more accurate blood monitoring thanks to a side-mounted sensor that they call X-Tab

00:15:43.300 --> 00:15:49.100
Another product we were using today, but has been hidden away in my pocket is the Mate X6 which is

00:15:50.100 --> 00:15:53.140
Damn, is that ever a thin foldable phone?

00:15:53.140 --> 00:15:57.740
And yet it still manages to have a 5100 milliamp hour battery

00:15:57.860 --> 00:16:03.660
It comes with a variety of different back materials including leather and IPX8 water resistance

00:16:03.660 --> 00:16:09.860
Also, they're extremely proud of how flat their hinge folds on the subject of foldable devices

00:16:09.860 --> 00:16:13.820
The main book fold here is a China only laptop that I

00:16:14.340 --> 00:16:19.260
Wouldn't mind having in North America the screen is 13 inches in clamshell mode

00:16:19.260 --> 00:16:24.780
But it's got a party trick where it expands to 18 inches in its kickstand mode

00:16:24.780 --> 00:16:32.340
It supports multitasking and pretty incredible gesture-based window management that really shows how far harmony OS has come in the last few years

00:16:32.820 --> 00:16:40.700
Now we're in for a special treat We're in the Ito M9 and we're gonna be checking out its advanced driver assist features that allow us to take our hands completely off the wheel

00:16:40.700 --> 00:16:43.820
Which I gotta say seeing the traffic patterns here

00:16:44.460 --> 00:16:46.900
Sketches me out a little bit. Hopefully it's all good

00:16:51.900 --> 00:16:55.220
And this I think makes my point about the traffic patterns

00:16:56.260 --> 00:17:02.420
And it's packed with other features some you might expect like large interior displays and support for phone projection

00:17:02.420 --> 00:17:04.820
But others you might not expect like support for

00:17:05.620 --> 00:17:10.500
Projection at all. There's a theater in the back and the seats for client all the way

00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:16.740
What? That was super cool. If you guys want to learn more about Wild Waze products
