Huawei Watch 3 is the company’s latest release and is the first to run on its new operating system called the Harmony OS. It’s an incredible evolution from the previous Watch GT series, bringing Huawei in a justified position to compete against Apple and Google. It is one of the best-looking watches with outstanding features in an affordable price range.
Made from stainless steel and a ceramic back casing, this smartwatch is extremely comfortable to wear. In design, it’s even more round than before or at least appears as so. The crown of the watch is slightly offset to allow quick access. The original leather strap can be replaced by any of the straps from your typical analogue watch.
Huawei Watch 3 Benefits
1. Elegant Design
Huawei Watch 3 is stylish in looks, suitable for formal as well as casual occasions. The high-graded ceramic used in the back casing makes it incredibly soft against the skin. With a lustrous face, reduced bezels, and a hardened glass that bends at the corners to meet the casing, it is inevitably the smartwatch of the year.
2. Smart Features
Watch 3 supports a wide range of useful tools that make it a bit more practical than its competitors. It has an eSim installed, which lets you make and receive calls, download apps and play music, eliminating the dependency on Bluetooth. It is also time-saving as you can perform several functions with simple hand gestures. You can also use Celia, the voice assistant, for a similar reason.
3. Fitness Tracking
The Huawei Watch 3 is the most useful when it comes to fitness tracking. It consists of a comprehensive list of tools for all activities. The step count, heart rate monitor, calorimeter, sleep tracking, and GPS connection are all tested to be highly accurate.
4. AMOLED Display
The AMOLED display of Watch 3 measures 1.43 inches in diameter and has a pixel density of about 326ppi. It’s extremely vivid, bright, and sharp, enhancing graphics quality and the user interface. The watch is also quick in response to gestures and touch inputs.
Huawei Watch 3 Drawbacks
1. Harmony OS
While the Watch 3 operates smoothly, the OS lacks in some areas as it is newly launched. Navigating through the Watch 3 is trouble-free, and all the necessary apps are available. However, the AppGallery is pretty empty, and the third-party app support is limited as well. For the same reason, worldwide music streaming is not yet available.
2. Battery Life
Huawei claims the battery life of Watch 3 to be three days when connected to an Android. Whereas, when a special battery mode is active, it can operate for up to 14 days on a single charge. However, if you have several features activated simultaneously, the battery life can be reduced to only a day. It further gets affected if you have the watch connected to an iOS device rather than an Android.
3. Compatibility
One of the great features of the Huawei Watch 3 is its wide compatibility. However, there is some hindrance when you connect it to iOS devices. The device starts to lag with delayed response to inputs. So if you’re an Apple user, buying the Huawei Watch 3 may not be the smartest choice.
