Huawei is set to introduce the successor to its Watch 5 next week, confirming in a teaser video that the new smartwatch will officially debut on Wednesday, September 2.
The unveiling will take place during the “Chase the Wild” launch event in Munich, where Huawei will also announce the global launch of the Watch GT 7 and the Watch D3, a smartwatch designed to monitor blood pressure.
In the teaser, the new smartwatch appears in gold, silver, and black, each paired with a silicone sports strap. So far, there is no sign of a titanium strap version in the preview.
Apart from the colors, the design is virtually unchanged from the previous model. As before, Huawei has opted for a round display with a narrow, labeled bezel, a metal case with a button, and a digital crown.
The X-Tap sensor is on the right side. Touching it with your finger activates all the smartwatch’s sensors. It can measure heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and skin temperature, and perform an ECG, among other functions.
The two sensor areas on the X-Tap are slightly larger than before, suggesting Huawei is updating the smartwatch’s sensors.
There are no more details yet about the new features of the Huawei Watch 6. As with the Watch GT 7, hardware changes may be minor, and Huawei will focus on new software features
ISLAMABAD, August 27, 2026: Victims of the PIMS hospital fire spoke to the media and demanded a judicial commission to investigate the incident, ARY News reported.
According to sources, the affected families said DNA tests of the children who died in the fire were not conducted.
They said that if such a tragedy had occurred in another country, the entire system would have been shaken.
The victims said those who cannot handle their ministries should step down.
The affected parents said the real issue is that the government has formed a committee to investigate the PIMS incident.
They said bureaucrats are appointed to inquiry committees after every tragedy, but no one is ready to accept the committee formed for the PIMS incident.
The affected parents demanded that a judicial commission should be formed to investigate the PIMS tragedy.
Earlier, the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) administration had formed a new four-member inquiry committee to investigate the fire incident at the hospital’s nursery.
Professor Dr Atif Inam Shami has been appointed as the head of the inquiry committee, sources said. The committee comprises three senior PIMS professors along with Deputy Executive Director Dr Aneza Jaleel.
Professor Altaf Hussain from the ENT department and Professor Sajid Rafiq Abbasi from the Nephrology department have been appointed as members of the committee, sources said.
The inquiry committee will investigate the nursery fire and determine its final cause. It will also examine the fire safety arrangements around the nursery, sources said.
The committee will review the firefighting and rescue operation, including the response time of the rescue operation.
Sources said the PIMS inquiry committee will prepare its report within 48 hours.
Officials say the small, limited deployment could serve as a model. But terrorists in the country have continued to attack and kill.
ISLAMABAD, August 27, 2026: Following the PIMS nursery fire incident, the newly appointed Health Secretary Captain (retd) Muhammad Mahmood has come under scrutiny over multiple corruption allegations and inquiries he faced during his career, ARY News reported citing sources.
According to sources, Muhammad Mahmood has previously been named in the Rawalpindi Ring Road, wheat import, IT and Nandipur scandals.
In May 2021, Muhammad Mahmood was arrested while serving as commissioner Rawalpindi in connection with the Ring Road scandal. He was acquitted in the case in 2022.
The Rawalpindi Ring Road inquiry had revealed large-scale irregularities and alleged manipulation. According to the inquiry, former commissioner Muhammad Mahmood had the Ring Road map illegally changed. He was also accused of illegally advertising bids in alleged collusion with consultants.
Muhammad Mahmood also emerged as a central figure in the wheat import scandal in 2023. At the time, he was serving at an important post as secretary food security.
Muhammad Mahmood had said there was no ban on wheat imports and that the decision was taken by the DPP on its own. He was suspended from the post of additional secretary at the Ministry of Food Security over the wheat scandal.
In August 2024, Muhammad Mahmood was also removed as IT secretary. He was accused of favouring LDI companies that had defaulted on Rs76 billion.
A policy issued by Muhammad Mahmood allegedly benefited the defaulting LDI operators by allowing them to pay their outstanding dues in instalments.
Irregularities were also reported in the Nandipur Power Plant project. Muhammad Mahmood was removed as managing director of the Nandipur Power Plant in November 2015 over the alleged irregularities.
