00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,359
Every smartwatch on the market has workout modes in order to monitor your

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:09,280
performance and vital statistics. But if you've ever used an off-brand watch, you

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:13,200
know that sometimes it feels like they might as well be just guessing. So, how

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:17,279
do the leaders in the space do better? For Huawei, who sponsored this video,

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:20,480
the answer is in the building behind me, where we're going to be the first

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:25,680
Western media to ever check out the science behind the sport modes of their

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,599
GT6 Pro and Ultimate 2 watches. They've

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:32,750
got indoor facilities for rock climbing, basketball, golfing, and even swimming.

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:36,800
Plus, an outdoor bike route through a [music] European style village, whatever

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:41,040
that means, for developing and validating their workout modes that rely

11
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:45,520
on GPS and mapping, like their new virtual power feature. I'm almost afraid

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:50,000
to find out how much power I generate. Let's hope it's not too embarrassing.

13
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:54,559
Let's get into it. This place is like the ultimate adult playground for tech

14
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:59,120
enthusiasts and gym rats alike. In the center of the 200 meter track that runs

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:03,120
outside then back inside the building is their motion capture court. It's set up

16
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:07,280
for basketball in badminton right now, but nothing prevents it from being used

17
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:11,680
for other sports. It's got a ring of 30 10,000 frames per second motion capture

18
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:15,920
cameras all around the outside of it with millimeter level accuracy. And in

19
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:21,040
the past, they've also used specialized 3D scanners, even higher speed cameras,

20
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,920
and 3D force platforms along with a compute system that belongs to the

21
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:28,240
Chinese Sports Authority to work with Team China Olympic athletes. I'm no

22
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,040
Olympic athlete, but I told them I would love to try out the motion capture.

23
00:01:29,759 --> 00:01:34,880
Apparently, it takes about an hour to get started, so uh we better get going.

24
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:39,200
They've got to put down a reference point, set up some regular cameras so

25
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:44,159
that we have actual video and not just the motion capture dots. I've got to put

26
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:47,600
this over my swoosh. Not because they're worried about the branding, but because

27
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,040
it could interfere with the tracking. And then this was kind of cool. They

28
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:54,880
just have this wand that they kind of wave around in order to calibrate the

29
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,159
system. I had to take my earrings off because the motion capture cameras are

30
00:01:56,479 --> 00:02:05,000
looking for these reflective dots. So, those of you in the audience who have been asking for this for all these

31
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,000
years, you're finally getting your wish.

32
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:11,840
Regular viewers might know that out of all the sports we're testing today, badminton is the only one that I really

33
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:15,280
play. So, while I wait for them to build my model, I'm going to go ahead and do a

34
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:19,040
couple of quick footwork drills just to try out their badminton mode. It's got

35
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:24,800
to be ready to move anywhere on the court at any given moment. That was not

36
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:28,686
very good footwork, but I have not done

37
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,440
enough footwork lately. [gasps] And

38
00:02:28,686 --> 00:02:36,959
[sighs] stop >> highly aerobic and fat burning. Anyone

39
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:40,760
who thinks badinton is not exercise, it's not playing it right.

40
00:02:40,959 --> 00:02:46,160
I apparently sweat so much during that short session that we're having trouble

41
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:49,599
getting the dots to stick back on me. Um, under normal circumstances, they

42
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,680
would use a bodysuit for this. Like you can see, they're sticking to my clothes just fine. But we had to get a little

43
00:02:53,200 --> 00:03:02,720
creative here. Hey. All right. So, I go do my shot. I

44
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:07,920
go do my other shot. I go up. Scissor

45
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:10,239
kick. Lift. Oh, that's so cool.

46
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:14,239
Dang. So you can see the hip triangle right

47
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:19,519
there. Got the leg wireframe.

48
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:22,319
Now to do it properly, they need to do

49
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:27,120
post-processing and post analysis. So we're working on maybe getting the file

50
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:31,280
for this, but in the preview alone, you can see how something like this could be

51
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:34,720
very useful for form analysis. The motion capture system supports all kinds

52
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:39,440
of different sports that can be played on a flat surface, including court games

53
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:43,040
like basketball. This one I don't know how well I'm going to be able to demo,

54
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:49,640
though. Imagine the basketball skills of a shortweight Canadian. Now, imagine

55
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:49,640
that he isn't Steve Nash.

56
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,840
Come on.

57
00:04:01,697 --> 00:04:03,717
>> [screaming]

58
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:14,560
>> Fortunately, there's lots more to see. Like the courts, this treadmill is

59
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:19,040
packed to the gills with sensors for biometrics and motion capture and

60
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:24,880
analysis. It supports the obvious things like walking and running, but also some

61
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:27,440
less obvious stuff like biking, skiing,

62
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,479
and even skateboarding. Can I try skateboarding on it?

63
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:35,440
>> Okay. >> He really didn't want me to do that before we rolled the camera, but we

64
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:39,199
talked him into it. I'm not a skateboarder, so this is going to be

65
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,199
something. Uh-huh.

66
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:47,680
Safety. Step one is to get into the harness that acts as an emergency stop.

67
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:51,600
So, if I pull down on this, the treadmill cuts out. Go.

68
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:57,360
>> Started. >> Okay. We'll start with a light walk.

69
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:07,000
Okay, that's not really a light walk anymore. Heart rate increasing. 95 97.

70
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,000
Going a little faster.

71
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:12,639
I don't know how fast that is, but now it's starting to get pretty fast. Give

72
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:18,039
me a little bit more. And that's probably about as fast as I can run. Oh

73
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:18,039
boy.

74
00:05:18,988 --> 00:05:25,520
[laughter] Yeah. So, that was a minute of running.

75
00:05:24,883 --> 00:05:30,800
[panting] I might need more cardio in my life.

76
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,880
Obviously, I didn't run enough to get a real workout. That's why I'm not

77
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:39,440
sweating right now. But, it was enough for us to get a little bit of analytics

78
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:43,919
here. And apparently, my ground contact time is excellent. Now, let's see how

79
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:47,960
quickly I contact the ground on a skateboard. Okay.

80
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:55,199
I haven't even attempted to ride a skateboard since I was probably in high

81
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:57,199
school. Okay, we ready? This is going to

82
00:05:55,199 --> 00:06:02,639
be disastrous. It's a little funky cuz it's more of a

83
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:06,000
like, you know, a push type of sport and

84
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:08,000
the treadmill is consistent, you know.

85
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,919
Okay. Can I Uh-huh. Yeah, sure. I could skateboard.

86
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:17,994
Whoa. Okay. [laughter]

87
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:28,240
I can tell from all the marks on the wall, that's not the first time that happened. Just like everything we've

88
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:32,560
seen so far, their rock climbing wall was built so that they can compare the

89
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:37,039
data that they get off of their watches to the data that they get with a golden

90
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:42,479
standard like motion capture or in this case climbing against a calibrated

91
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:44,080
height which is exactly 10.5 [music] m.

92
00:06:42,479 --> 00:06:48,960
Personally, I just think he really likes rock climbing and he wanted to expense

93
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:51,840
this wall. But they won't confirm that.

94
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:58,639
Oh god. Yeah, I'm not going to do well at this.

95
00:06:54,479 --> 00:07:01,039
No, no, no. I am totally using my arms

96
00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:08,000
too much. I know it and I'm still doing it. What the heck?

97
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,080
Yay. Okay. Woo.

98
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:16,639
Now, one of the coolest safety features of the GT6 Pro is of course its fall

99
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:19,120
detection. But while you can measure

100
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:23,199
climbing altitude with sensors and real people, you can't exactly drop real

101
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:27,599
people off the top of the structure. So, what do they do? That's where my good

102
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:31,479
friends comes in. Let's just get this watch on you there, buddy.

103
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,800
Nice.

104
00:07:42,435 --> 00:07:48,800
>> [snorts] >> You okay, buddy?

105
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:53,280
So, in an emergency, the watch will automatically call emergency services,

106
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:57,199
either [music] through ESIM, if available, like it is on the Ultimate 2,

107
00:07:55,599 --> 00:08:01,599
or through the Bluetooth connection to your phone, like with the [music] GT6

108
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:06,879
Pro. Now, this is cool. They built a small pool that can be temperature

109
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:09,120
controlled anywhere from 5 to 45° C and

110
00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:14,240
has a paddle at one end that can create a current of up to 1 and 1/2 m/ second.

111
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:18,080
It's designed to simulate real world conditions and uses a combination of

112
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,919
underwater sensors and cameras to track your speed, heart rate, calorie burn,

113
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:27,280
and even your stroke form for later analysis. Let's see how I do with the

114
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:33,319
Watch Ultimate 2. Right now, it's set to 1 m/s. So, uh, let's see how I farro.

115
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:46,000
Look at that. It even knew what stroke I was doing. Warm up. Come on, man. I'm

116
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:49,000
trying here. Let's turn it up to maximum.

117
00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:01,120
That's pretty fast. I wouldn't be able to do that for very long. Yeah, the

118
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:08,800
heart rate went up a little faster that time and it says I'm not just warming

119
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:10,480
up. Thank you, watch. Appreciate you.

120
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:14,640
Another use case they can test in here is scuba and that's a major focus for

121
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:18,959
the Watch Ultimate 2. It's rated for submersion to 150 m and has all kinds of

122
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:23,120
essential features like a compass and dive tracker. Another really cool

123
00:09:20,959 --> 00:09:27,279
feature is called divercoms. It allows you to send underwater pre-programmed

124
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:33,440
messages, emojis, and SOS to other Huawei Watch Ultimate 2 users using

125
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,880
Sonic Pulses. This is pretty huge. I

126
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:39,120
don't know if you guys know this, but my wife almost died in a dive accident once

127
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:43,839
because, as it turns out, the gestures for come here and share air look

128
00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:48,720
basically the same when you're doing a night dive. Fortunately, by the time she

129
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:52,720
said out of air, I had already come here and I was able to give her my backup

130
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:57,760
rag. So, I am very pro anything that enhances underwater communication.

131
00:09:55,519 --> 00:10:02,720
This is cool. Who needs Top Golf when you have Huawei Golf? All we do is fire

132
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:10,600
up the golf analysis on the watch, hit this button, and we're ready to go. I um

133
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,600
have not golfed much.

134
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:19,360
And it shows. We can do better. WE CAN DO BETTER. OH,

135
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:22,720
THAT'S SO MEAN. It says I suck. No, I'm kidding. It doesn't say that. Okay, I'll

136
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:27,720
try hitting the ball this time. That'll be good. Okay, ready.

137
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:37,120
Yeah, that's a little low and to the outside. Even worse than last time. Oh,

138
00:10:34,959 --> 00:10:41,440
that's cool. It shows you the video of your last stroke. Check this out. The

139
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:45,760
watch includes little coaching insights like how to grip the club and how to

140
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:49,839
swing. Or maybe for most people it doesn't, and that's just cuz it saw how

141
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:54,160
I did it. Unsurprisingly, given the sport's popularity in China, there are

142
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:58,160
two table tennis setups. One that has an automatic ball tracking system and a

143
00:10:56,399 --> 00:11:06,040
second out on the motion capture floor with an automated feeding robot. Okay,

144
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:06,040
this I have to try. Oh my god.

145
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:19,519
Ah, okay. Well, we found yet another sport I

146
00:11:16,079 --> 00:11:21,519
suck at, but I'm told not to feel too

147
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:26,480
bad because apparently this can be configured to feed with the same spin

148
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:31,040
and placement as a professional coach. So, I don't think that was the highest

149
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,839
level we were on just now, but let's ignore that. Apparently, we're not

150
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,839
moving on. We're going to do the professional

151
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,680
No. What the What the heck?

152
00:11:43,478 --> 00:11:49,680
[snorts] They've got lots of options for cycling. Exercise bikes, the multi-purpose

153
00:11:47,839 --> 00:11:53,440
treadmill we saw before, and of course, the orange track. All of those can be

154
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:57,680
used for the same kind of analysis we've discussed already. Something we can't do

155
00:11:55,519 --> 00:12:02,720
in the lab, though, is simulate actual realworld movement. And that is where

156
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:07,600
the European Village comes in. This was a themed construction project for their

157
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:11,200
R&D center and offices, but it also happens to be a picturesque biking

158
00:12:09,839 --> 00:12:16,720
route. So, we're going to be checking out the true sport system on the GT6 Pro

159
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:21,360
in real time. Now, obviously, it relies on biometrics like your heart rate,

160
00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:25,680
blood oxygen, ECG, all that kind of stuff. But it also relies on

161
00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:29,839
environmental factors like your real world speed and even the type of bike

162
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,680
you're using in order to get an accurate calculation for your virtual power. Now

163
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:38,480
all that remains is to see what kind of score I can get ripping through here.

164
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:43,793
I don't remember the last time I rode a bike, but hey, you know what they say, it's like riding a bike. [snorts]

165
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:52,440
Let's go. Don't mind me in my European village.

166
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:57,639
Dude, this place is incredible.

167
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:07,200
Maybe I'm coming around to the LMG town idea after all.

168
00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:10,000
Okay. Okay, I had enough for now. Let's

169
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:17,040
check the virtual power. My longest ride, 1.3 km. No way that was

170
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:19,519
1.3 km, was it? Can't be. Was it? I

171
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:26,160
don't know. Who knows? Okay. stretch blah blah speed. Okay, what do we got?

172
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:29,600
Total elevation gain. Where's my virtual

173
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:33,440
power? Maximum heart rate 150. 0 minutes

174
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:36,240
in extreme heart rate.

175
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:43,760
Virtual power. All right. I peaked at 289 watts of virtual power. [music] And

176
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:47,760
actually, if my cycling machine at the gym is anything to go by, that's

177
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:51,680
probably about right when I'm going really hard. I'm not like a professional

178
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:56,079
athlete or anything like that. Pretty cool. Lots of information in here. With

179
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:59,519
the lab tour complete, it's time to take a closer look at the products that we

180
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:03,600
feature today. And what better place to do it than Huawei's flagship store in

181
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:07,680
Nanchan. Man, I'm trying to imagine the meeting with the architect for this

182
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:11,199
place. We want it to look hyper modern, but we needed to be functional. We want

183
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:15,279
customers to be able to interact with small electronic devices like laptops,

184
00:14:13,199 --> 00:14:18,800
smartphones, and wearables. Oh, and also much bigger ones like cars. And it

185
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,240
should have an interactive smart home showcase powered by AI. Also, could you

186
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:30,240
squeeze in some stadium seating for large group meetings? That would be great. Thanks. And yet, somehow they

187
00:14:27,519 --> 00:14:34,560
understood the assignment and absolutely nailed it. Let's start with the watch we

188
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:39,600
were using during our cycling test and on the climbing wall, the GT6 Pro. The

189
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:43,920
design of this watch was laser focused on athletic users. It's got sapphire

190
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:48,720
glass for high durability and a wide variety of bands, both sportfriendly, so

191
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:53,600
uh not [clears throat] sweat absorbent, and also more fashion oriented. It

192
00:14:50,959 --> 00:14:57,920
offers up to 21 days of battery life in its most power conservative mode, and

193
00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:02,399
features a 3000nit display for outdoor use. It's got altitude monitoring and

194
00:14:59,839 --> 00:15:05,600
what they call sunflower navigation, which basically means it can connect to

195
00:15:04,079 --> 00:15:10,160
up to six different navigational satellites for sub 8 meter positional

196
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:14,000
accuracy. That is super important for uses like jogging and cycling where it's

197
00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:17,279
hard to say exactly how hard you're working if the watch can't tell where

198
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,800
you are and where you're going. The other one we feature today is so new

199
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:26,000
it's not even on the showroom yet, the Watch Ultimate 2. In a nutshell, it does

200
00:15:23,199 --> 00:15:30,399
everything the GT6 Pro does, but better. So, it's still a highly capable sport

201
00:15:28,079 --> 00:15:33,680
watch just with a touch more style and some extras. The underwater

202
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,440
communication that we saw in the pool, which is great for diving. That's

203
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:42,079
exclusive to this model. It also has ESIM and more accurate blood monitoring

204
00:15:40,079 --> 00:15:46,800
thanks to a sidemounted sensor that they call XTAB. Another product we were using

205
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:54,480
today, but has been hidden away in my pocket, is the Mate X6, which is damn is

206
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:57,519
that ever a thin foldable phone. and yet

207
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,519
it still manages to have a 5100 milliamp

208
00:15:57,519 --> 00:16:04,639
battery. It comes with a variety of different back materials including

209
00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:06,800
leather and IPX8 water resistance. Also,

210
00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:11,600
they're extremely proud of how flat their hinge folds. On the subject of

211
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:16,800
foldable devices, the Matebook Fold here is a China only laptop that uh I

212
00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:21,519
wouldn't mind having in North America. The screen is 13 in in clamshell mode,

213
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:27,279
but it's got a party trick where it expands to 18 in in its kickstand mode.

214
00:16:25,199 --> 00:16:30,560
It supports multitasking and pretty incredible gesture-based window

215
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:34,240
management that really shows how far Harmony OS has come in the [music] last

216
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,759
few years. Now, we're in for a special treat. We're in the Ito M9 and we're

217
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:43,199
going to be checking out its advanced driver assist features that allow us to take our hands completely off the wheel,

218
00:16:40,959 --> 00:16:49,880
which I got to say, seeing the traffic patterns here sketches me out a little,

219
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,880
but hopefully it's all good.

220
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:58,399
>> And this, I think, makes my point about the traffic patterns.

221
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,811
And it's packed with other features. Some you might expect, like large

222
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:05,600
interior displays and support for [music] phone projection, but others you

223
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:10,240
might not expect, like support for projection at all. There's a theater in

224
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:15,280
the back, [music] and the seats recline all the way.

225
00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:17,520
>> What? That was super cool. If you guys want to learn more about Huawei's

226
00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:22,160
products, we're going to have them linked in the video description. You

227
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:26,439
hold them down. I'll beat him up. Come on, Howard. Take [music] that.

228
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:35,272
Get beat up, Jeffrey. >> It's quality time with my boss.

229
00:17:33,252 --> 00:17:35,272
[laughter]
