Huawei Watch GT3 is the consecration of a successful formula [Analysis]

Wearables are in fashion, despite the fact that they did not seem to finish starting, in recent years, despite the stoppage caused by the pandemic, these smart watches have become popular thanks to their innumerable functionalities and of course the improvement of their performance. In this case Huawei has long been offering some of the best options in the territory of smartwatches, and it will continue to do so.

We analyze the new Huawei Watch GT 3 is enshrined as the refinement of the previous version and maintains its strong commitment to Harmony OS. We analyze the latest and most powerful Huawei smartwatch to date, find out with us.

A recognizable and successful design

In this case, Huawei does not want to get out of its canons regarding the smart watch, keeping the traditional watch aspect far from what other brands such as Apple and Xiaomi want. We have two boxes, 42,3 x 10,2 millimeters and 46 x 10,2 millimeters depending on our needs. The watch will weigh approximately 35/43 grams without the strap, and it feels refined and well-built, as well as being customary for the Chinese brand. In the case of the analyzed model, it includes the brown leather strap and the stainless steel case in its natural, elegant and versatile color.

• Versions: 42 and 46 millimeters, traditional and «sport»
• Colors: Gold, Rose Gold, Steel and Black.
• Straps: Milanese, silicone, leather and steel.
• Ceramic coating on the back

In this aspect we already know that we have a version with a second hand in the frame or a traditional one depending on the chosen model and the dimensions of the screen. It should be mentioned, so as not to confuse the reader, that we are analyzing the 46-millimeter version with a brown leather strap and a traditional steel-colored casing. From my point of view, the watch maintains good proportions, an unalterable design and a feeling of versatility and important elegance, it can accompany you to a formal event and to the gym, something to keep in mind when making a disbursement of these characteristics.

Technical characteristics

In this case, Huawei has opted for an ARM Cortex-M, without implementing in this way processors of own manufacture of those that we know so much. This is good news because it accentuates the versatility of Harmony OS, but it makes us wonder about the future of the Asian brand's own processors. As for the RAM memory, we do not have specific information, we do have about its 4 GB of total storage, better known as «ROM».

• NFC
• Integrated microphone for taking calls
• Integrated loudspeaker
• Resistance up to 5 ATM

We have a watch that has a connection 5.2th generation WiFi as well as Bluetooth XNUMX so we have a wide range of wireless possibilities. We do not have this time (yes in the previous model) lthe possibility of integrating an eSIM or virtual SIM card, so you will have an absolute dependence on the phone. The device is compatible with Harmony OS, Android 6.0 onwards as well as iOS 9.0 onwards, making it a versatile alternative that, however, will not allow us to interact with notifications outside of Huawei / Honor easily and quickly. .

Sensors and variety of uses

CHow could it be otherwise, this Huawei Watch GT 3 inherits a good range of sensors, beyond the classic heart rate monitors and blood oxygen saturation meters, Huawei has wanted to turn this Watch GT 3 into an alternative for sports without losing absolutely anything, for all this the following will accompany us :

• Body temperature sensor (will be activated in a future update).
• Air pressure sensor (barometer).

All this in addition to precise measurement systems of the location for which the GPS, GLONASS, Galilleo and of course QZSS in all its versions. The technical characteristics beyond the screen and the autonomy are shared in different sizes and versions. And this is how we move on to talking about the screen.

The 46-millimeter version (tested) features a panel AMOLED de 1,43 inches which represents a slight growth compared to the previous version, with a resolution of 466 × 466 thus offering a pixel density of 326PPI. For its part, we have the same resolution in the 42-millimeter version, so the pixel density increases to 352PPI, detail from our point of view imperceptible between one version and another.

Training, use and autonomies

Regarding the customization within the AppGallery we find Huawei's own system more than 10.000 downloadable spheres, The vast majority are free, which will make it difficult for you not to find one to your liking. It has an improved rotating bezel, as well as an interaction button profiling that now has a more comfortable touch and travel from our point of view.

In this section Huawei promises us with the TruSeen 5.0+ greater precision in training measurements, and the reality is that our tests have been favorable, showing results comparable to high-end alternatives such as the Apple Watch or the Galaxy Watch, all thanks to its eight photo-detectors.

• AI algorithm improvements with a deviation threshold of 5LPM.
• Notices about irregular heartbeat.
• Sleep monitoring.
• Integrated voice assistant.

Without giving us precise data in mAh, the Asian company has promised us 14 days of autonomy that we have not been able to achieve, we have stayed between 11 and 12 days with regular use. In most aspects such as the application and data management, the user interface and our general experience with it, the watch has not offered much difference with the previous version of the same, and this is precisely a favorable point if we take into account that they have been perfected. All this is rounded off with a price from 249 euros for the 46-millimeter version and 229 euros for the 42-millimeter version, Sovereignly adjusted prices based on their capabilities, notably adjusting to a quality-price ratio that is difficult to match in the sector. For 329 we will have a titanium version whose presence in Spain is unknown for the moment.
