The native HarmonyOS ecosystem is growing at an unprecedented pace, extending from smartphones and tablets to diversified terminals such as smart wearables, opening a new chapter for the Internet of Everything. According to the latest data, over 80 major applications, including Alipay, Ximalaya, and Amap, have fully adapted to the HarmonyOS NEXT on smartwatches. This marks the official entry of HarmonyOS native applications into the wearable device field, bringing users unprecedented convenience and efficiency.
Starting in 2025, all new Huawei wearables will come equipped with the native HarmonyOS. More HarmonyOS native applications are accelerating adaptation to Huawei smart wearables, offering users a comprehensive, intelligent service experience in scenarios such as audio-visual entertainment, fitness, navigation, payment, and gaming. With just a simple wrist raise, users can enjoy these services.
In terms of audio-visual entertainment, the HarmonyOS native versions of Ximalaya and Kugou Music have been adapted for smartwatches. Users can control playback, pause, fast forward, and switch audio directly from the smartwatch without needing to pull out their phones. Ximalaya even supports transferring audio downloaded on a phone to the smartwatch, allowing users to listen offline while on the go for a more flexible audio experience.
In mobile payments, the national app Alipay has adapted to Huawei smartwatches with HarmonyOS 5.0. When using the HarmonyOS native version of Alipay for offline shopping, users can display QR codes or barcodes on the smartwatch to make payments. This even works in scenarios with no network connection or weak signal, enabling offline payments.
For daily commuting, users can also enjoy a more convenient experience via the HarmonyOS native versions of Amap and Flightradar24 on Huawei smartwatches. Amap leverages HarmonyOS's interconnectivity to sync navigation between the phone and smartwatch, making key information clear at a glance. Flightradar24 can also sync ticketing information and itineraries to the smartwatch, letting users easily check flight details, departure times, and estimated arrival times, making travel more worry-free.
In fitness, the HarmonyOS native version of Lianlian Fitness offers users comprehensive workout tracking and data analysis, helping them monitor their exercise progress and providing valuable insights for future fitness plans.
Moreover, electronic pets, which have become a warm companion for modern "working people," have also gained popularity. The pet simulation game, now available on Huawei smartwatches with HarmonyOS 5.0, allows users to "raise" a cute pet, complete tasks, play games, and watch it grow, providing a fun and relaxing break from the workday.
In addition to the applications mentioned, many other wrist applications such as Mobile High-Speed Rail, Countdown Days, Chinese Almanac, Scientific Calculator, Knock the Wooden Fish, Air China, Calendars, Wrist Reader, Lemon Water, Basketball Adventure, and more, have already launched on Huawei smartwatches running HarmonyOS 5.0. The number of applications continues to grow rapidly, offering users an increasingly rich and diverse experience.
As a fully self-developed, full-scenario intelligent operating system, native HarmonyOS provides seamless cross-device connection and collaboration, offering users a new experience of the Internet of Everything. Starting in 2025, all new Huawei wearables will be equipped with native HarmonyOS. As these devices are released and upgraded, HarmonyOS native applications on smartwatches will reach more users, providing consumers with more convenient, efficient, and comprehensive intelligent services.
