What applications are supported on the smartwatch?

By utilising electrode technology, you can get real-time data on the state of your health and receive health alerts if the watch deems anything to be amiss.

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring is also possible with the Huawei Watch D2.

Not only can you monitor pulse rates, but you can see high-level blood pressure data measured during the day, while you sleep, and in the past 24 hours.

The watch also allows you to curate a Health community with your nearest and dearest. Track their fitness metrics, keep each other motivated and push each other to achieve dreams – the sky is the limit.

Other applications include 80+ exercise modes – including running – automatic exercise detection and the ability to answer or reject calls via Bluetooth.

All that and a pair of FreeBuds 5i for £349.99? A Black Friday steal, right?

What is battery life like on the smartwatch?

Suppose you’re constantly forgetting to charge your smartwatch, then good news. The Huawei Watch D2 battery can last up to six days, given typical usage.

What do experts and customers say about the Huawei Watch D2?

Experts, shoppers and tech reviewers have been singing the praises of the Huawei Watch D2 on social media and via other trusted online platforms.

TechRadar hailed the smartwatch’s blood pressure monitoring abilities as an ‘incredible achievement’, remarking how it was a ‘reality made possible through an airbag strip located behind the main watch strap.

“An amazing smartwatch,” lauded another purchaser. “Having had multiple Galaxy Watches, this is up there with the Galaxy Watch 6, with the added feature of medical certified blood pressure monitoring, with no calibration.”

Serial tech reviewer Cam Burton wrote: “If what you want is a watch that will give you accurate, consistent data on activities, all-day health tracking and sleep, this will certainly do that well.

He also described the Huawei gadget as ‘the most important smartwatch of 2024’.

“Perfect, 5-day battery life, comfortable, does everything described,” commented an Amazon shopper, while a Reddit user echoed: “Huawei is generally one of most accurate when I’ve watched scientific analysis metrics on various YouTube videos”

While creating an OnlyFans page is often seen as an easy way to make a lot of cash quickly, there are downsides to the unconventional career path.

People from all walks of life have joined OnlyFans over the years. From retired Olympic athletes and celebrities like Bhad Bhabie, to former teachers and ex Love Island stars, there’s an array of people who have turned to racy content creation as a means of getting by.

Many people speak about the perks of being on OnlyFans (the financial success being the biggest), but there’s a dark side to the job as well – something which former OnlyFans content creator ‘recruiter’ Victoria Sinis is lifting the lid on.

Melbourne-based Victoria had worked for marketing and recruitment for an OnlyFans management agency, but quit after just five weeks last year.

During her time in the role she ended up seeing some of the content that was being made and the ‘twisted’ requests some women were getting from subscribers.

Speaking to news.com.au, Victoria said that some of the ‘disturbing’ things she saw included women defecating on themselves while another subscriber wanted to see a woman hang on a slightly suspended ledge while another woman stepped on her hands.

“|n real life, they’re not in danger. But in the video, they’re in danger and you step on their fingers and they’re going to be hurt. That’s how twisted it was,” she explained.

“There are also requests like can you wear these outfits and be tied up with your hands behind your back?”

Victoria went on to claim that some people in the industry have become ‘desensitised’ to such things, but she found herself struggling to open her laptop most days.

Victoria has also spoken to Nick Slater on the becoming podcast where she shared more of the alarming things she saw during her brief stint working in the industry.

She said: “There’s these things called custom requests and custom requests are when a subscriber can go ‘hey, I really want you to do this’.”

“A lot of [the requests] are weird stuff,” Victoria went on. “Things that were quite common was writing the subscriber’s name on the stomachs and, like, ‘I own you’.”

Victoria is now trying to encourage young girls to not go into OnlyFans content creation.

“I just want to encourage every single person to whenever they feel like posting a provocative photo and putting their value in the likes or in the compliments to just take one minute, and name three things that aren’t the looks that they like about themselves,” she shared.

“And if they can’t do that, then maybe don’t post the photo.”

A former Skins actor has opened up about how joining OnlyFans ‘changed her life’ after being left with just £300 in the bank.

Character Katie Fitch is synonymous with the E4 drama as Megan Prescott played the teen from 2008 to 2010.

Her real-life twin sister, Kathryn, also starred in Skins as Katie’s twin, Emily.

The show itself ran from 2007 to 2013 and starred the likes of Dev Patel, Nicholas Hoult, Daniel Kaluuya and Kaya Scodelario, of whom all have gone on to have stellar careers.

Skins followed the lives of troubled teens in Bristol, tackling mental health, substance abuse, and relationships.

The series became popular for how real it was as Megan called it ‘a huge cultural moment’.

“Even now, people still compare shows to it like Euphoria. And Gen Z is rediscovering Skins on Netflix and making it relevant again,” the now-33-year-old told Metro.

“I do think it was an important show because it highlighted issues that weren’t being discussed at the time, especially for young people.

“Obviously, some of it was glamourised but I do think it was a good thing that Skins was made.”

She continued: “It was my dream job and I couldn’t have asked for anything better, it was all I wanted.

“Then after Skins, I had a bit of a reality check where I was like, ‘oh, actually, you don’t just go from a TV show to Hollywood’.

“You’re not set for life, it is hard work and you don’t just get things handed to you.”

While she made cameo appearances in a couple of shows, Megan had to work multiple jobs to keep afloat.

“The second I started stripping there was a lot of internalised misogyny,” she explained after delving in some sex work.

Her career was initially short-lived due to the stigma around the adult industry but everything changed when her manager of her ‘minimum wage’ job refused to give her furlough during the Covid-19 pandemic.

With £300 left in her account, she decided to take her mate’s advice and launch an OnlyFans page.

“It completely changed my life,” Megan said of selling nude photos of herself on the platform.

“I’m autistic so I’m very logical. I needed money for a show that involves a nude scene where I talk about contextual and conditional consent.

“In my mind if I’m going to be naked in the show why would I not use the platform that I’ve been using to get by for the last three years?”

She added: “There’s nothing shameful about sex work. There’s nothing shameful about OnlyFans. But I didn’t have a huge amount of skin in the game. I put my money where my mouth is.

“The world didn’t end. Nakedness is fine. I’ve been simulating sex on television since I was 16. I’m 33 now, I can be naked on the internet, it’s fine.”

An OnlyFans creator who claims to have ‘slept with 158 men’ in just two weeks has shared the eye-watering amount of money she earns in just one month.

Adult film star Bonnie Blue made a name for herself after visiting university campuses in the UK, US and Australia to have sex with male students.

This would be in exchange for putting it on film, as videos of young men queueing up outside her room went viral on social media.

Originally from Nottingham, the 25-year-old now lives on the Gold Coast in Australia, making lots of money in the process.

Alongside her mum, the pair appeared on a recent episode of The Reality Check podcast with Hosts CJ McKenna, Shuan Maroof and Josh Spooner.

Towards the end of the video, Maroof asked Bonnie how much she makes on OnlyFans and this was her eye-watering response: “A lot, so it’s between like £300,000 and like £350,000 a month.”

“Honestly college boys pay well,” she said.

Opening up about her formula, Bonnie explained: So I’ve got a free page, it’s like just over 45,000, and a paid page which like 26,000, so £8.99 [each].

“So like the subscription and then the videos, people love bundles as well, so like I’ll tend to do like a, spring break bundle, like £100 pound for six videos.”

She added: “I wanted to do OnlyFans like years ago but I used to think why would people pay?

“Like I don’t understand, there’s so much out there on porn but then now that I do this, and I’m out on the street I meet people say ‘hi like that I’ve probably f**ked their friends’ and stuff, they’re all intrigued.”

Earlier in the podcast, Bonnie’s mum spoke about her feelings towards her daughter’s profession, as Maroof asked: “How do you feel hearing all of these stories that your daughter is saying?”

“It’s just part of her job,” she replied. “I’m proud of her, I don’t mind.”

Her mum did admit she was initially disappointed with Bonnie’s decision.

“I was gutted at first I really was,” she said, but went on to say that she’s ‘happy’ as long as Bonnie is happy.

“Bonnie’s going to do what she wants to do, so I’m always there to support her.”

The OnlyFans star previously addressed the backlash for the decision to sleep with 18-year-old men in her videos.

Bonnie said that she always has ‘proper consent’ with anyone she sleeps with.
