Asus vivoWatch 6 specs and health-tracking features
The smartwatch equips a 1.39-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, which is protected with Gorilla Glass. The panel reaches a peak brightness of 350 nits.
Asus VivoWatch comes with blood pressure monitoring and ECG support and equips ASUS Blood Pressure and ASUS ECG apps. In addition to that, it can measure body composition, and sleep quality, as well as a Relaxation Index. The watch comes equipped with two sets of medical-grade ECG and PPG sensors. The outer ring of the VivoWatch 6 features a bioelectrical impedance (BIA) sensor to measure body composition.
Placing the thumb and index finger on the watch face sensor also reveals the body fat and skeletal muscle percentages, water content, and basal metabolic rate. This watch can monitor the activity of the autonomic nervous system and uses heart rate variability (HRV) as the basis to calculate the Relaxation Index. This is how it can detect a sudden or unusual increase in the stress level. There is another feature called the Body Harmony Analysis, which tracks the user’s emotional status over a week and presents it in a seven-grid chart.
The VivoWatch 6 also features dual-band GPS and up to 14 days of battery life. “Leveraging cutting-edge innovations and years of medical expertise, ASUS VivoWatch 6 is designed to help users keep track of their long-term health goals easily, allowing them to monitor vital health stats anytime, anywhere to truly achieve preventive healthcare,” said Sharon Pan, senior director of Smart Health Product Planning at ASUS.
The ASUS HealthConnect app offers the user all the tracked health parameters at a glance. The app also includes the Care Track cloud-based service which allows family members to view the user’s location and health status in real time.

Asus didn’t confirm when the VivoWatch 6 will be available for purchase. However, the company did reveal the pricing of the new watch – £110 / €130 / $140./ 1020 Yuan.
