now i’ve been a big fan of huawei’s wearables for several years now so i was as happy as a puppy with a fresh brand-new pillow when the huawei watch 3 was finally propelled however commencing from 349 quid the huawei watch 3 is a proper wallet emptier just as expensive as the apple watch and other payment smart watches so the question is is it actually worth that cash well i’ve had the huawei watch 3 buckled to my wrist for pretty much the full month since my unboxing video so here’s my in-depth review and for more on the most recent and greatest tech delight do thrown subscribe and ding that notifications bell encourages now first up i’ve got to point out that this right here is the active model which is the cheapest of the knot you can also grab the huawei watch 3 in classic chocolate-brown which is an extra 30 quid otherwise if you’ve got a spare 430 pounds smacking about you can get the steel elite model and unlike some previous huawei watches this one is only available in a 46 mil immensity but that’s not all bad news if you do have child like spindly weapons such as these because the huawei watch 3 is skinny sufficient to not look ridiculous and 54 grams it certainly ain’t extremely hefty either i’ve gotta declare i just forgot that i was wearing it most of the time and that’s not
actually down to booze related memory loss and as you’d kind of hope the huawei watch 3 boasts a fee intend to accord that premium premium even in this most economical active mannequin that stainless steel case has a glossy finish that so far has fought blemishes and dents while that 3d curved glass is also reassuringly durable it’s also irrigate resistant to a magnitude of five working flavours or 50 meters which means you don’t have to bother removing it if you’re gonna soak in a delightful sizzling bubbly bathroom jump in the shower you can also use it to track your float times and if everything of this still doesn’t look and sound quite as premium enough to match your own most beautiful feeling then you can grab the huawei watch 3 in a pro edition too and this slightly bigger model boasts sapphire glass a titanium eggshell and ceramic endorsement as well and it’s yours for a mere half a splendid unquestionably orphans at the ready now the buckle you get wrap with the huawei watch 3 will depend on the model that you choose this active version comes with a fluoro elastomer influenza fresh elastomer struggle that’s comfortable to wear even if you rarely make the watch off the classic explanation of the wubbe watch 3 come here for a nylon buckle and meanwhile that privileged sit come here for a
stainless steel link bracelet which will ogle truly dapper on a friday night down the discotheque now i’m a big fan of that 1.43 inch amoled screen which is powerfully shining absolutely perfect for those working moments that the daylight decides to actually peek out from behind the thunderclouds the 326 pixels per inch resolve stops visuals sharp-worded while emblazons are rich and beautiful and those goal directions ain’t off bad either considering you’ve got the 3d crooked glass “theres plenty” of watch faces to choose between with some very attractive animated exertions pre-installed plus the option of adding hundreds more from the online accumulate more than enough to cover all experiences you can even craft your own from a photograph and while we helpfully point out during the selection process which of these watch faces are more power intensive as well just in case you get a nasty shock when half your battery’s gone after just a few hours the always-on display option coincides your main watch face which is a nice touch and you’ve got the usual raze to wake gesture ascertain which occupations perfectly now this is the first huawei small-scale watch to come pack in its brand-new accord os ui and i’ve got to say there’s a lot to affection in there quite a lot of it is quite similar to previous
huawei smart watches with that custom-made ui anyway but there are some issues that unquestionably need resolving and incidentally if you’re doing a full tour of that ui as well i’ve done an in-depth look at all of the different screens and features and so forth in my unboxing videos go check that out now first up the grid launcher for your apps is pretty much a direct imitate of the apple watch act and it can be just as confusing even before you download any fresh apps you’ve got a good selection pre-installed including plenty of fitness tools you’ve got an altimeter a compass a singer memo jobby timers all of that good substance so pretty much all of the apps and pieces you would find on previous versions of huawei’s smart watches but you’ve also now got the huawei app gallery as well for downloading fresh apps onto the watch at any given moment that’s a feature that you did not have on previous smart watches however as it is still very early days i gotta say it’s a exceedingly sparse collect compared with what you’ll get on the likes of wear os or the apple watch i struggled to even find half a dozen that i was interested in downloading and using there’s subtle support for major music streaming
services so you’ll have to use huawei music basically although you can at least control whatever you’re playing on your smartphone via the watch as usual you’ll too find a few exercise apps on the app gallery but nothing progressive there are very few games and other entertaining flecks to while away a spare five minutes and of course pay it a little of age and i’m sure things will improve mightily but right now the huawei watches app selection is pretty sparse and quite dire in fact compared with a lot of the rivalry the huawei watch 3 sports a rotating treetop for sailing but the grid setup of the apps menu means that all the crown does there is zoom in and out which is kind of pointless although the treetop can be very useful when you’re scrolling through fitness apps if your hands are all sweaty or to navigate about the watch menus when your screen is wet now the one we watch three can actually work as a standalone communicator as it’s got built-in e-sim support i believe it’s vodafone only here in the uk that supports that asim functionality however whereas i just paired mine with a variety of smartphones and used it more as a secondary device i discovered i had no trouble pairing up with any of these smartphones and likewise jumping from one smartphone to another was just a occurrence of unplug and starting up again i didn’t have to reset the actual watch itself which was fantastic the only issue i had was i had to download the huawei health app in apk constitute manage from huawei rather than go on via the google comedy collect otherwise for some reason the google play version only would not connect to this watch the mobi watch 3 has wi-fi support if you miss direct internet access
without esim but if you do have esim triggered then you can actually take calls through the wildernes rotation watch 3 because it does have a built-in mic and orator now speaker’s actually reasonably thunderous and the lucidity is not bad at all considering the size of this invention and also the microphone did a pretty good job of picking up on my tone even in a moderately loud environment and just as a performance is one of those articulation memo jobbies that i recorded on the huawei watch 3 exercising the built-in mic and as you can see nice and crisp and clear to that speaker as well you can also use that mic to communicate with celia huawei’s spunky expression helper “if youre going to” although unhappily she’s about as supportive as a body made of sherbet so generally celia slogs penalty for the simple material like what’s the brave going to be like tomorrow the condition in farnborough is likely to be slightly cloudy with a high of 20 degrees celsius and a low of 13 degrees celsius so yeah that’s uh one in the bag that was accurate but too she know it sounds as provoked as a teenager read out her essay on 17 th century agricultural techniques but then if you try anything a bit more tricky that’s where it all falls apart so for instance when is the english some trouble doing that please try again a little last-minute so for instance when is the english football unit next playing a competitor sorry i didn’t understand that what date is the next england football match sorry i didn’t understand that okay let’s try another one are there any good burger diners nearby sorry i didn’t understand that are you okay time you need your medication sorry i didn’t understand that notification
support works with charm even if as usual you can already view what’s coming in and not actually do anything with it now as usual huawei has absolutely nailed the fitness boasts on the huawei watch three really a little tap at this fanny button now announces up the workout procedure which has over a hundred different types to choose from you’ve got 17 professional and 85 practice struggles so basically whatever you’re into it’s almost certainly covered by one of these options and again precisely check out my unboxing for a closer look at this surface of things i am sure do like the tracker once you get going as well you get regular enunciate feedback on how long you’ve been practice for your current heart rate you’ll get admonishings if you stumble your maximum threshold horizon which you preset via the app all indications you could possibly need or something that i needed at any right moment materializes there on the screen neat and clear and readable and also found that the gps moving was pretty accurate and also the dive tracking seemed to be bang on as well now one of the new boasts combined with those older huawei watches is the temperature sensor for incessant scalp temperature moving and you would think in a post-covered world that could be quite a useful feature but regrettably i found that i got very different deciphers generally within a short distance uh even if i just made them five minutes apart when i was sat on the sofa doing bugger all typically a good two or three measures divergence you’ve got ongoing 24 7 spo2 and heart rate monitoring and that all employs as expected as well seems to be nice and accurate with strong visual representation right there on your wrist so so far while we watch three actually not more disparate from previous huawei watches but regrettably the part where it truly disappoints is the battery life well we anticipate you get three days of full-on use with all of the features active it’s actually up to three days what you tend to get with this thing
what i certainly get was around two days of use and i’d generally be raking it through that second day as well and that really is a serious disappointment compared with past huawei watches like the huawei watch gt2 pro absolutely fantastic smartwatch which generally previous at least a week sometimes two will vary depending on what pieces you include active so i basically did generally end up charging up the huawei at watch 3 each night simply to be on the safe place and that meant unfortunately i couldn’t implementation aspects like sleep moving very often not really riled about that though because whenever i did use it it tends to think that i was asleep when i was actually just split out in berthed staring up at the ceiling crying to god for my brain to slam the up so i could just get a little bit of kip there is an ultra long battery mode if you do find you’re out in the sticks you don’t have the option of charging it up when you need to and this just calls a lot of the features like the modem some of the more battery depletion peculiarities but then to be fair if you’re going to spunk up a quantity of cash on a while we watch three you’re going to be wanting to use those more payment pieces otherwise what’s the point on the flip side at least you do get reverse wireless accusing funding now on the huawei watch three so that’s nice and that
right there is my final full one month review of the huawei watch three and i gotta say i like it but i would definitely rather just go back to the wow we watch gt2 pro with its excellent battery life you don’t have the option of expanding the apps on board of course because there’s no app store app gallery support but right now that’s not really much of an advantage anywhere and the likes of the scalp temperature sensor doesn’t seem to really labor as well as it probably should do if you want to actually use it as some kind of medical implement but there is a lot to love now and hopefully impart a little of occasion and unison os we’ll be right up there uh with the likes of one ui which i’m very excited to try out and the likes of of course good old-fashioned watch os but that’s what i think what do you guys ponder be gritty your thoughts down below if you’ve actually been testing out the huawei watch three yourself be great to hear your thoughts and for the latest and greatest tech delight do framed agree ding that notifications bell and have yourselves a fine ass remain of the week heartens everyone love you
