On December 1, the Huawei Watch GT 3 arrived in Spain, a unique smartwatch that we have gone through the analysis to show the degree of satisfaction that a novelty from a Chinese company has given us.

A smart watch that has a barometer shows the skin temperature, measures the oxygen level in the blood and another value that we are more used to, such as heart rate.

First feelings

The truth is that with everything that happens to Huawei, the Chinese company is bringing smartwatches to the market, which it falls in love with from the first second.

First, because they have the autonomy many others would like, and second, they don't lack the best design, performance, and AMOLED screen to make its orbs look better than on any other wearable device.

And this is exactly what many of us are looking for when the idea of ​​getting a smartwatch comes to mind, although we won't be able to respond to WhatsApp messages with responses or voice memos as we do with Wear OS on TicWatch E3 or Fossil Gen 6, but ignoring it otherwise the Huawei Watch GT3 is a unique wearable device from which you can make calls with excellent experience quality.

If we go back to the benefits, the GT3 watch has all kinds of sensors that allow you to record all possible data to measure our health like no other. If we add to this that it presents it in a sublime way, with graphs, drawings and all kinds of data, then it is the best smartwatch for quantifying our physical condition.

It is true that in this sense it exceeds what we have even seen in the Galaxy Watch 4 analysis, and that Samsung has in this smartwatch with the consent of Google (with its Google Play services) and Fitbit in this alliance for Wear OS 3.

With all this and 7 days of autonomy in normal use for the 42mm model, the Huawei Watch GT 3 provides a great experience, making us forget that we have to take it out every two out of three to charge it; And that we tested the 42mm model if we move on to 46 mm, we will go to 14 days of autonomy (beast).

And the point we don't want to set aside to emphasize this again before moving on to further analysis is Huawei's wisdom to know that this type of wearable device requires a better conversation experience than what might be when replying with emoticons , the keyboard you still have in Wear OS 3, or voice memos. This is where the Watch GT 3 makes a lot of money on its calls.

Features of Huawei Watch GT 3

Design: pure elegance

Huawei Watch GT 3 informs that we wear the watch of life, the kind that our parents or grandparents could wear, so in this sense it wins a lot. In fact, in this analysis, we had the opportunity to use a black leather strap to feel like we had to dealing with a very nice wearable device.

The rotating side metal button also gives it meaning, and the metal case with visible seconds makes us use the word elegance all the time.

The compact, round design of the GT 3, which clearly stands out for its design, is another of the watches we liked the most in this regard.

We have to emphasize that the bezel on the second hand is one of the thinnest or thinnest we have seen, which allows almost the feeling of the front to be there for the screen.

Screen: any of its spheres has a highlight

With this AMOLED screen, the Chinese manufacturer Huawei, which relies heavily on smart watches, again brings us another smart watch that is characterized by the screen, just as we met on site with the Huawei Watch 3.

The dial on this type of screen is capable of changing the visual experience and the look of the watch, and in this case, each of those that come standard on the GT 3 allows us to move away from a model of the sports type, either classic or dragging to minimalism if we are looking for the right one.

Orbs, on the other hand, can be configured to add widgets, change the style and more. In fact, each of the available is very well designed and according to our style we will be able to configure the one we like, just like we can access the store from their hundreds.

Screen impressions can be passed on to all cards to measure our vital signs or the applications that this wearable has, so at all times we are dealing with a unique watch in this regard.

The best companion for your cell phone

In this sense, the Huawei Watch GT 3 suffers from the lack of these applications that we could install, as is the case with Wear OS, where we can use Google Maps and many other applications, such as Spotify itself, thanks to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4.

Here are a couple of apps we can install via the AppGallery app so even having Tick Tick (an excellent notes app) has its bugs and even strings of code lines appear. Huawei will have to work a lot on this for us to install on the phone applications that we can use the "companion" type. Of course, there are Petal Maps for navigation, recently updated to version 2.0, so switch from your mobile phone and use the clock for directions.

Like us, we can go from a mobile phone to being able to connect a Bluetooth headset to be able to play over 500 songs which it can store in its internal memory. With almost 1.8 GB of data to save your favorite themes.

So going for a run and listening to music with wireless headphones is an experience in itself to leave your phone at home.

But it is true that to see notifications or receive calls, it is an excellent device as a companion for our Android phone; even being a HarmonyOS with the limitations it entails. We are no doubt left with its great calling experience.

Measuring your exercise

Huawei Watch GT 3 is the perfect smartwatch that can become our personal trainer, thanks to the ultra-precise monitoring with all kinds of sensors, such as skin temperature, stress, heart rate, blood oxygen level or its ability to transmit information such as atmospheric pressure.

A free health app for Android

More than 100 sports modes allow us to record practices such as yoga and even bungee jumping. It's surprising how well everything is arranged by category, so that almost none is missing. Thanks to the IP68 waterproofing, it even allows us to enjoy delicacies for sports, in which water can be an element to consider.

There is another advantage of being the best trainer and it is the clover of a healthy life. A series of indications that are displayed from the clock and the Health app to help us achieve the best physical condition. How many water drinks a day, a smile, the ability to breathe or a record of sleep quality allows the Huawei GT 3 to give us instructions on how to improve these daily activities.

Therefore, the same Chinese company emphasizes that your watch really becomes a personal trainer.

It contains detailed information when recording an activity, so that after stopping it, we can click on the field to record for two minutes how our heart rate is recovering and thus be able to make assessments.

Or, if you understand during a running session that our recovery is fast heartbeat per minute, encourage us to push a little to improve this practice and thus evolve in our physical condition.

Dynamic monitoring, which we also tested on Huawei Watch 3 (you can view its analysis here) is present to quickly see in the summary the most important stages of a sports exercise, such as running or hiking.

We are just in the best feature of the Huawei Watch GT 3, which can be perfectly seen in how well the Health app is styled with all kinds of information, graphics or how it gives advice on the quality of our sleep.

The same is happening with the graphics and interface of all apps and cards to give us a unique experience that highlights the possibility of acquiring this wearable as such. In fact, being able to switch to the Health app to review our evolution is more than a perfect experience.

HarmonyOS interface

Here Huawei continues to improve and again we have a grid system for the applications so that when we press the rotary button we pass in front of them.

And conversations let you forget about our Android phone, so we can practice while talking through this watch.

Battery: 7 days for the 42mm model

We had a 42mm Huawei GT 3 watch that takes us up to 7 days of autonomy with almost no disheveled and that we have real-time active heart rate monitoring and what are Bluetooth notifications from the phone and calls.

If we opted for the 44mm model, we would go after 14 days, which ensures that our watch is always on our wrist, to almost forget that we will have to charge it at some point.

These 7 days is an intensive use with an hourly sports training record, although if we had activated the blood oxygen measurement it would have put more pressure on the battery to slightly reduce its autonomy.

But come on, there is another element that is crucial to finally opting for this Huawei Watch GT 3.

Final opinion

Huawei Watch GT 3 is a unique smartwatch, we have no doubts about it, if we intend to use it to improve our physical condition, advise and record all our sports, it is the best on the market right now.

When it comes to phones, this is another of the perfect watches as we will hand it over to our wearable at many times so that we can participate in one while cooking or doing other tasks.

Autonomy is another of its major axes, which does a great job in this regard, and we always have it on our wrists. 7 days of heavy use is more than enough to explain what it's worth.

Now it has its shadows and they are related to the use of HarmonyOS.If for some reason on another smart watch you are used to responding to WhatsApp messages with reactions or preconfigured messages, here you will miss it as it is practically non-existent; You can only reply to SMS and just like in Spain it is not very common to use this channel for communication ...

We also miss the fact that more apps can be installed from the Health app, there are a few but we think there are few and for one that is important it doesn't work very well.

But back to the positive aspects, overall and thanks to its great design, the Huawei Watch GT 3 is a watch that wears on our wrist and makes us feel proud of the experience it provides. That it lacks some points, such as above, but if we use it as our trainer, calls, notifications and other tools like stopwatch, alarms, breathing mode or the same compass, it is an excellent smart watch no matter where you look at it.

You can buy it on Amazon Spain for 249 euros.
