Nowadays, there are many people who like to have a smart watch that not only provides them with basic information about the time, but also one that allows them to control sports activities, guide them through a certain place or simply answer calls and even messages.
It is for this reason that Huawei has launched its latest gadget the Huawei Watch GT 3, which comes with a silicone body in its 42 mm version. Will it be good or bad? Find out what we think in this review.
He Huawei Watch GT 3 42mm comes in a version with a silicone strap that fits well to the wrist as it has enough holes for it to fit perfectly without any loose ends. and other elements such as sand and dust are not introduced. Likewise, its dial is made of stainless steel, which gives it a freshness and striking design.
On the side of the device we have a flat button that is used to turn the device on and off, as well as return to the main menu of the watch, while the other, in the shape of a gear, is used to open the application drawer.
Something you should notice is that this large button, which seems to be very reminiscent of wind-up watches, you will see the word Huawei Watch GT written on it.
Moving on to the base, it is made of polymer, a material that helps prevent sweat from sticking too much. Inside it we find a series of sensors capable of monitoring our sports activity.
By itself the Huawei Watch GT 3 is quite comfortable and also adapts to the wrist bone, thus avoiding discomfort or shocks that end up damaging the skin.While the 46mm version comes with a leather strap, the 42mm version does not disappoint and its versatility is evident.
The screen of the Huawei Watch GT 3 42 mm is circular and is characterized by having a measurement of 1.32 inches, which includes the resolution of 352 × 352 pixels per inchThe best thing of all is that it doesn't cause too much of a problem if you expose it to the sun, on the contrary, it adapts correctly thanks to its automatic on and off mode.
The The spherical display is AMOLED and has a series of quite vibrant and bright colors that attract attention from any angle you look at it.s. Although sometimes fingerprints tend to play a trick on you because they stick too quickly and you have to clean the smartwatch very carefully to avoid scratches.
As for the heart rate, this tends to be quite good compared to other watches. The movement of the animations produces a feeling of a high-end device.
To turn on the display, you just have to move your wrist to see your face, and there are no delays in displaying details, such as notifications. You can even determine whether you want your watch to sleep after a certain time or to stay completely on. However, it will generate some energy consumption if you want to activate Always On.
On the other hand, the Huawei Watch GT 3 watch has an open ecosystem and can connect with any device on the market, be it Android, iPhone. The gadget comes with the factory default HarmonyOS operating system, home software, and, although the apps may be quite limited, on the other hand, you will be able to receive notifications or alerts from the applications with which you synchronized the device.
How do you set it up? To link the watch to your cell phone, you must download the Health app, which can also help you track your daily activities, such as setting a walking limit, monitoring your sleep status, etc. You can also find more watch faces among the free ones, such as those with a price of no more than 2 soles.
To access the application menu, we must press the largest button on the device. There we will have apps such as heart rate monitoring, stress, altitude measurement, blood oxygenation, among others, which are taken either for a certain time while you use the watch or manually..
In the latest update of the Huawei Watch GT 3 now allows us to not only answer calls and talk on speakerphone, but also to reply to messages using a default emoji. It's not that you can write, but you are shown a list of emoticons so that you avoid taking out your cell phone in case you can't. This happens now with WhatsApp, Messenger, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or any other type of messaging application that you use for your daily tasks.
On the other hand, the watch's apps, in order to resemble the Apple Watch, are placed in a section from which you can zoom. Although this is quite limited and it remains to be seen whether Spotify is integrated for music control, or another streaming app.
One of the things we have tested on the watch and that we found important, now that many are buying a heart rate monitor, is its precision, although Huawei always mentions that the data shown on its screen are only indicative.
The strap is also very suitable for sports, although it falls short in terms of versatility. Its dial and weight may not be entirely comfortable, and there is also the fear that it may become discolored by sweat. We used it for running and it has provided us with accurate data.
What's the point of buying a smartwatch if it doesn't last a day? Well, Huawei seems to have that motto. The watch has a battery that can give you up to 7 days for continuous use, even activating those functions to control your physical activity such as sports, calorie burning, step counting, etc.
Although it is not necessary, if you need more brightness on your screen, or activate all the functions to receive notifications, the battery will drain a little faster, taking up to 5 days. Also, its charging system is through a magnetic base.
This will allow you to have the Huawei Watch GT 3 in less than 30 minutes at 50 % and in 45 minutes you will already have the 100%. However, although it is wireless, it needs to have said base to be supplied with power.
