HUAWEI WATCH GT 3 Review – The latest GT 3 is meant to be the successor of the previous HUAWEI WATCH GT and WATCH GT 2 (check our reviews while you’re here). The sleekness and elegance are still there for sure, but this time, the wearable is updated with the latest and greatest sensors and HUAWEI’s technology including an all-day SPO2 monitoring.
The WATCH GT 3 comes with a couple of band size options: 46mm and 42mm. And only specific colours and design available within them. So for example, the best looking one (in my opinion) is the Classic 46mm Brown. However, you can’t get that with the 42mm band. My review unit here is the 42mm Black, simply because a 46mm watch usually looks too big on my small wrist.
The smaller, 42mm model comes with up to 7 days of battery life compared to the 46mm’s 14 days of battery life.
HUAWEI WATCH GT 3 42mm features a 1.32-inch AMOLED screen with 466×466 resolution, and only 10.2mm in thickness. The screen is bright and I usually have no problems having a look at it outside. The screen is also touchscreen-enabled, along with two hard buttons on the side. The bottom one is reserved as a quick start shortcut to start your exercise which is quite handy if you are exercising frequently. The top one is a rotating crown that has a nice feel to it when you press and rotate.
There are tons of preset exercise modes to choose from (more than 100 workout modes including 18 professional workout modes, 12 outdoor workouts, and 6 indoor workouts), including Badminton – which is my weekly, regular exercise. Thanks to all the advanced sensors within the watch powered by HUAWEI TruSeen 5.0+, you can get a lot of health data out of your daily exercise including walking, and even sleeping.
With built-in GPS support (GPS, Beidou, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS satellite systems), your outdoor workouts like running and cycling can be accurately recorded too. You’ll be able to see your route and even backtrace them back to your starting position if you want. For climbing and snowboarding, say, the Huawei watch can even monitor the current air pressure with its built-in altitude barometer and can also inform you of tidal changes in real time.
For athletes or professionals, HUAWEI WATCH GT 3 will shine even brighter as the watch can assess your athletic ability based on the historical data and there’s even a training program that you can follow and adjust as you train professionally. Based on your heart rate during the intense workout, recovery heart rate, and other important data while you exercise, the watch can evaluate your running ability index and plan the next training to improve the quality of your training.
The Huawei watch allows for accurate heart rate monitoring, thanks to the curved glass lens allowing more comfortable wear but also more accurate placement on the wrist. Plus, it can monitor not just your heart rate but also the blood …….
