Sharp Launches 1.32-Inch Smartwatch That Tracks Calories and Hydration Automatically

Summary
Sharp unveiled a new smartwatch using Healbe’s patented FLOW Technology to automatically estimate calorie intake from body-fluid movement and glucose changes, then compare intake with calories burned from activity.
The device also monitors dehydration and sends sound and vibration alerts, but Sharp recommends wearing it 22 to 23 hours a day—including during meals—to maintain measurement accuracy.
A 1.32-inch OLED always-on display runs Sharp’s “Circuit View” interface, which shifts information by time of day, while data syncs to the Karada Mate app.
Karada Mate offers a 600-yen monthly subscription for dietitian-supervised advice, though Sharp says neither the watch nor the app is a medical device for diagnosis or disease prevention.
The 33-gram watch adds standard notifications and controls, Bluetooth 5.4, Android 14/iOS 17 support, 5 ATM and IPX8 water resistance, and IP6X dust protection.
