Asus Unveils VivoWatch 6 Plus: ECG and Blood Pressure

Computex handed us a quiet surprise. Asus revealed the VivoWatch 6 Plus, a smartwatch that pairs a 1.43-inch AMOLED display with sapphire crystal and a titanium case — the kind of build that suggests the company wants this on a serious wrist.

Why this could matter for health wearables

What sets the device apart, at least from the sparse press notes, is its health feature set. Asus says the VivoWatch 6 Plus supports blood pressure measurement and ECG, and it also tracks sleep breathing movement and gait analysis. Those are not gimmicks. They point to a device designed to look beyond step counts and delivery simple, continual health signals to the wearer.

• 1.43-inch AMOLED screen with sapphire crystal on top
• Titanium case for a lighter, tougher build
• Blood pressure monitoring and ECG capabilities
• Sleep breathing movement and gait analysis for long-term health insights

Asus frames these features as a form of real-time coaching: continuous data turned into actionable guidance. That sounds appealing. But it also raises the obvious questions — how accurate are the sensors, what regulatory approvals will Asus seek, and how will the watch integrate with health apps and medical workflows?

There are still gaps. The launch images show two different watches; we assume the round model is the VivoWatch 6 Plus, but Asus hasn’t confirmed that. No battery figures, no OS details, no release date, and no pricing yet. For now, this is an intriguing tease rather than a full picture.

Who should care? People who want deeper biometric tracking without reaching for a clinical device. Athletes, sleep-minded users, and anyone tracking longer-term health trends will watch this closely. But until Asus publishes specs and pricing, the VivoWatch 6 Plus remains a promising idea rather than a proven product.

This looks like Asus moving deeper into health-focused wearables — expect more details soon.
