WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.359 Every smartwatch on the market has workout modes in order to monitor your 00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:09.280 performance and vital statistics. But if you've ever used an off-brand watch, you 00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:13.200 know that sometimes it feels like they might as well be just guessing. So, how 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:17.279 do the leaders in the space do better? For Huawei, who sponsored this video, 00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:20.480 the answer is in the building behind me, where we're going to be the first 00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:25.680 Western media to ever check out the science behind the sport modes of their 00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:27.599 GT6 Pro and Ultimate 2 watches. They've 00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:32.750 got indoor facilities for rock climbing, basketball, golfing, and even swimming. 00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:36.800 Plus, an outdoor bike route through a [music] European style village, whatever 00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:41.040 that means, for developing and validating their workout modes that rely 00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:45.520 on GPS and mapping, like their new virtual power feature. I'm almost afraid 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:50.000 to find out how much power I generate. Let's hope it's not too embarrassing. 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:54.559 Let's get into it. This place is like the ultimate adult playground for tech 00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:59.120 enthusiasts and gym rats alike. In the center of the 200 meter track that runs 00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:03.120 outside then back inside the building is their motion capture court. It's set up 00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:07.280 for basketball in badminton right now, but nothing prevents it from being used 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 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:15.920 cameras all around the outside of it with millimeter level accuracy. And in 00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:21.040 the past, they've also used specialized 3D scanners, even higher speed cameras, 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.920 and 3D force platforms along with a compute system that belongs to the 00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:28.240 Chinese Sports Authority to work with Team China Olympic athletes. I'm no 00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:31.040 Olympic athlete, but I told them I would love to try out the motion capture. 00:01:29.759 --> 00:01:34.880 Apparently, it takes about an hour to get started, so uh we better get going. 00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:39.200 They've got to put down a reference point, set up some regular cameras so 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 00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:47.600 this over my swoosh. Not because they're worried about the branding, but because 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:51.040 it could interfere with the tracking. And then this was kind of cool. They 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:54.880 just have this wand that they kind of wave around in order to calibrate the 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:58.159 system. I had to take my earrings off because the motion capture cameras are 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 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.000 years, you're finally getting your wish. 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 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 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:19.040 couple of quick footwork drills just to try out their badminton mode. It's got 00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:24.800 to be ready to move anywhere on the court at any given moment. That was not 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:28.686 very good footwork, but I have not done 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.440 enough footwork lately. [gasps] And 00:02:28.686 --> 00:02:36.959 [sighs] stop >> highly aerobic and fat burning. Anyone 00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:40.760 who thinks badinton is not exercise, it's not playing it right. 00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:46.160 I apparently sweat so much during that short session that we're having trouble 00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:49.599 getting the dots to stick back on me. Um, under normal circumstances, they 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 00:02:53.200 --> 00:03:02.720 creative here. Hey. All right. So, I go do my shot. I 00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:07.920 go do my other shot. I go up. Scissor 00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:10.239 kick. Lift. Oh, that's so cool. 00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:14.239 Dang. So you can see the hip triangle right 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:19.519 there. Got the leg wireframe. 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:22.319 Now to do it properly, they need to do 00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:27.120 post-processing and post analysis. So we're working on maybe getting the file 00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:31.280 for this, but in the preview alone, you can see how something like this could be 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:34.720 very useful for form analysis. The motion capture system supports all kinds 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:39.440 of different sports that can be played on a flat surface, including court games 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, 00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:49.640 though. Imagine the basketball skills of a shortweight Canadian. Now, imagine 00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:49.640 that he isn't Steve Nash. 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.840 Come on. 00:04:01.697 --> 00:04:03.717 >> [screaming] 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:14.560 >> Fortunately, there's lots more to see. Like the courts, this treadmill is 00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:19.040 packed to the gills with sensors for biometrics and motion capture and 00:04:16.239 --> 00:04:24.880 analysis. It supports the obvious things like walking and running, but also some 00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:27.440 less obvious stuff like biking, skiing, 00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:30.479 and even skateboarding. Can I try skateboarding on it? 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 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:39.199 talked him into it. I'm not a skateboarder, so this is going to be 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:43.199 something. Uh-huh. 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:47.680 Safety. Step one is to get into the harness that acts as an emergency stop. 00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:51.600 So, if I pull down on this, the treadmill cuts out. Go. 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:57.360 >> Started. >> Okay. We'll start with a light walk. 00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:07.000 Okay, that's not really a light walk anymore. Heart rate increasing. 95 97. 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:07.000 Going a little faster. 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 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 00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:18.039 boy. 00:05:18.988 --> 00:05:25.520 [laughter] Yeah. So, that was a minute of running. 00:05:24.883 --> 00:05:30.800 [panting] I might need more cardio in my life. 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 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:39.440 sweating right now. But, it was enough for us to get a little bit of analytics 00:05:36.479 --> 00:05:43.919 here. And apparently, my ground contact time is excellent. Now, let's see how 00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:47.960 quickly I contact the ground on a skateboard. Okay. 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:55.199 I haven't even attempted to ride a skateboard since I was probably in high 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:57.199 school. Okay, we ready? This is going to 00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:02.639 be disastrous. It's a little funky cuz it's more of a 00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:06.000 like, you know, a push type of sport and 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:08.000 the treadmill is consistent, you know. 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:12.919 Okay. Can I Uh-huh. Yeah, sure. I could skateboard. 00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:17.994 Whoa. Okay. [laughter] 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 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:32.560 seen so far, their rock climbing wall was built so that they can compare the 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 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:42.479 standard like motion capture or in this case climbing against a calibrated 00:06:39.280 --> 00:06:44.080 height which is exactly 10.5 [music] m. 00:06:42.479 --> 00:06:48.960 Personally, I just think he really likes rock climbing and he wanted to expense 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:51.840 this wall. But they won't confirm that. 00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:58.639 Oh god. Yeah, I'm not going to do well at this. 00:06:54.479 --> 00:07:01.039 No, no, no. I am totally using my arms 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:08.000 too much. I know it and I'm still doing it. What the heck? 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:10.080 Yay. Okay. Woo. 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:16.639 Now, one of the coolest safety features of the GT6 Pro is of course its fall 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:19.120 detection. But while you can measure 00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:23.199 climbing altitude with sensors and real people, you can't exactly drop real 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 00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:31.479 friends comes in. Let's just get this watch on you there, buddy. 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.800 Nice. 00:07:42.435 --> 00:07:48.800 >> [snorts] >> You okay, buddy? 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:53.280 So, in an emergency, the watch will automatically call emergency services, 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:57.199 either [music] through ESIM, if available, like it is on the Ultimate 2, 00:07:55.599 --> 00:08:01.599 or through the Bluetooth connection to your phone, like with the [music] GT6 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:06.879 Pro. Now, this is cool. They built a small pool that can be temperature 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:09.120 controlled anywhere from 5 to 45° C and 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. 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:18.080 It's designed to simulate real world conditions and uses a combination of 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:21.919 underwater sensors and cameras to track your speed, heart rate, calorie burn, 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:27.280 and even your stroke form for later analysis. Let's see how I do with the 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. 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 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:49.000 trying here. Let's turn it up to maximum. 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 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 00:09:03.920 --> 00:09:10.480 up. Thank you, watch. Appreciate you. 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 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 00:09:17.040 --> 00:09:23.120 essential features like a compass and dive tracker. Another really cool 00:09:20.959 --> 00:09:27.279 feature is called divercoms. It allows you to send underwater pre-programmed 00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:33.440 messages, emojis, and SOS to other Huawei Watch Ultimate 2 users using 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:34.880 Sonic Pulses. This is pretty huge. I 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 00:09:37.040 --> 00:09:43.839 because, as it turns out, the gestures for come here and share air look 00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:48.720 basically the same when you're doing a night dive. Fortunately, by the time she 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 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:57.760 rag. So, I am very pro anything that enhances underwater communication. 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 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 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:10.600 have not golfed much. 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:19.360 And it shows. We can do better. WE CAN DO BETTER. OH, 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 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:27.720 try hitting the ball this time. That'll be good. Okay, ready. 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:37.120 Yeah, that's a little low and to the outside. Even worse than last time. Oh, 00:10:34.959 --> 00:10:41.440 that's cool. It shows you the video of your last stroke. Check this out. The 00:10:39.760 --> 00:10:45.760 watch includes little coaching insights like how to grip the club and how to 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 00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:54.160 I did it. Unsurprisingly, given the sport's popularity in China, there are 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:58.160 two table tennis setups. One that has an automatic ball tracking system and a 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:06.040 second out on the motion capture floor with an automated feeding robot. Okay, 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:06.040 this I have to try. Oh my god. 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:19.519 Ah, okay. Well, we found yet another sport I 00:11:16.079 --> 00:11:21.519 suck at, but I'm told not to feel too 00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:26.480 bad because apparently this can be configured to feed with the same spin 00:11:23.680 --> 00:11:31.040 and placement as a professional coach. So, I don't think that was the highest 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:33.839 level we were on just now, but let's ignore that. Apparently, we're not 00:11:32.800 --> 00:11:36.839 moving on. We're going to do the professional 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:42.680 No. What the What the heck? 00:11:43.478 --> 00:11:49.680 [snorts] They've got lots of options for cycling. Exercise bikes, the multi-purpose 00:11:47.839 --> 00:11:53.440 treadmill we saw before, and of course, the orange track. All of those can be 00:11:51.760 --> 00:11:57.680 used for the same kind of analysis we've discussed already. Something we can't do 00:11:55.519 --> 00:12:02.720 in the lab, though, is simulate actual realworld movement. And that is where 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:07.600 the European Village comes in. This was a themed construction project for their 00:12:05.040 --> 00:12:11.200 R&D center and offices, but it also happens to be a picturesque biking 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 00:12:13.760 --> 00:12:21.360 in real time. Now, obviously, it relies on biometrics like your heart rate, 00:12:18.959 --> 00:12:25.680 blood oxygen, ECG, all that kind of stuff. But it also relies on 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:29.839 environmental factors like your real world speed and even the type of bike 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:33.680 you're using in order to get an accurate calculation for your virtual power. Now 00:12:32.160 --> 00:12:38.480 all that remains is to see what kind of score I can get ripping through here. 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] 00:12:45.680 --> 00:12:52.440 Let's go. Don't mind me in my European village. 00:12:53.680 --> 00:12:57.639 Dude, this place is incredible. 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:07.200 Maybe I'm coming around to the LMG town idea after all. 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:10.000 Okay. Okay, I had enough for now. Let's 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:17.040 check the virtual power. My longest ride, 1.3 km. No way that was 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:19.519 1.3 km, was it? Can't be. Was it? I 00:13:17.040 --> 00:13:26.160 don't know. Who knows? Okay. stretch blah blah speed. Okay, what do we got? 00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:29.600 Total elevation gain. Where's my virtual 00:13:26.160 --> 00:13:33.440 power? Maximum heart rate 150. 0 minutes 00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:36.240 in extreme heart rate. 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:43.760 Virtual power. All right. I peaked at 289 watts of virtual power. [music] And 00:13:40.800 --> 00:13:47.760 actually, if my cycling machine at the gym is anything to go by, that's 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:51.680 probably about right when I'm going really hard. I'm not like a professional 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:56.079 athlete or anything like that. Pretty cool. Lots of information in here. With 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 00:13:57.760 --> 00:14:03.600 feature today. And what better place to do it than Huawei's flagship store in 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:07.680 Nanchan. Man, I'm trying to imagine the meeting with the architect for this 00:14:05.040 --> 00:14:11.199 place. We want it to look hyper modern, but we needed to be functional. We want 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:15.279 customers to be able to interact with small electronic devices like laptops, 00:14:13.199 --> 00:14:18.800 smartphones, and wearables. Oh, and also much bigger ones like cars. And it 00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:22.240 should have an interactive smart home showcase powered by AI. Also, could you 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 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:34.560 understood the assignment and absolutely nailed it. Let's start with the watch we 00:14:32.880 --> 00:14:39.600 were using during our cycling test and on the climbing wall, the GT6 Pro. The 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:43.920 design of this watch was laser focused on athletic users. It's got sapphire 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:48.720 glass for high durability and a wide variety of bands, both sportfriendly, so 00:14:46.880 --> 00:14:53.600 uh not [clears throat] sweat absorbent, and also more fashion oriented. It 00:14:50.959 --> 00:14:57.920 offers up to 21 days of battery life in its most power conservative mode, and 00:14:55.680 --> 00:15:02.399 features a 3000nit display for outdoor use. It's got altitude monitoring and 00:14:59.839 --> 00:15:05.600 what they call sunflower navigation, which basically means it can connect to 00:15:04.079 --> 00:15:10.160 up to six different navigational satellites for sub 8 meter positional 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:14.000 accuracy. That is super important for uses like jogging and cycling where it's 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:17.279 hard to say exactly how hard you're working if the watch can't tell where 00:15:15.680 --> 00:15:20.800 you are and where you're going. The other one we feature today is so new 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 00:15:23.199 --> 00:15:30.399 everything the GT6 Pro does, but better. So, it's still a highly capable sport 00:15:28.079 --> 00:15:33.680 watch just with a touch more style and some extras. The underwater 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:37.440 communication that we saw in the pool, which is great for diving. That's 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:42.079 exclusive to this model. It also has ESIM and more accurate blood monitoring 00:15:40.079 --> 00:15:46.800 thanks to a sidemounted sensor that they call XTAB. Another product we were using 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 00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:57.519 that ever a thin foldable phone. and yet 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:59.519 it still manages to have a 5100 milliamp 00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:04.639 battery. It comes with a variety of different back materials including 00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:06.800 leather and IPX8 water resistance. Also, 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:11.600 they're extremely proud of how flat their hinge folds. On the subject of 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:16.800 foldable devices, the Matebook Fold here is a China only laptop that uh I 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:21.519 wouldn't mind having in North America. The screen is 13 in in clamshell mode, 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. 00:16:25.199 --> 00:16:30.560 It supports multitasking and pretty incredible gesture-based window 00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:34.240 management that really shows how far Harmony OS has come in the [music] last 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 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, 00:16:40.959 --> 00:16:49.880 which I got to say, seeing the traffic patterns here sketches me out a little, 00:16:45.680 --> 00:16:49.880 but hopefully it's all good. 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:58.399 >> And this, I think, makes my point about the traffic patterns. 00:16:56.800 --> 00:17:01.811 And it's packed with other features. Some you might expect, like large 00:17:00.160 --> 00:17:05.600 interior displays and support for [music] phone projection, but others you 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:10.240 might not expect, like support for projection at all. There's a theater in 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:15.280 the back, [music] and the seats recline all the way. 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:17.520 >> What? That was super cool. If you guys want to learn more about Huawei's 00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:22.160 products, we're going to have them linked in the video description. You 00:17:19.760 --> 00:17:26.439 hold them down. I'll beat him up. Come on, Howard. Take [music] that. 00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:35.272 Get beat up, Jeffrey. >> It's quality time with my boss. 00:17:33.252 --> 00:17:35.272 [laughter]
