SMART watches are definitely wrist-rocking the future with their seamless connectivity to mobile phones, and packed with an array of health and wellness features.
This is where Huawei next-generation smartwatch, Huawei Watch GT 3 Moon Phase Collection II fits in perfectly as it excels in luxury design and fitness tracking with several modes suitable for your professional and fitness lifestyle.
The first impression you get as you unbox this smartwatch with a 3D curved glass is the sleek design of the 46mm variant which features a 1.43-inch AMOLED display.
The innovative design is inspired by nature, and is also available in a 42mm variant that comes with a 1.32-inch AMOLED display.
Both the models feature a rotatable crown that unlocks a whole new level of experiences and works well in scrolling down through the features and watch’s apps.
The smartwatch comes with an always-on clock display that delivers the wearing experience of the traditional watches.
You can also customise the watch face and the changeable straps to suit your office or casual look.
One of the interesting options users would like is to see the eight different phases of the moon on the screen (in addition to more than 10,000 different watch faces that you can download and customise). Chose layouts of tide times and other features that were previously reserved for other high-end watches.
The first step is to pair the watch via Bluetooth with a compatible Android or iOS device by installing the Huawei Health from the app stores that gives in-depth tracking details.
For this hands-on review, the watch was paired with an iPhone to unlock a wide range of health management features, sleep monitoring technology to even listening to your favourite music while driving, cooking or working out.
The tapping and swiping response is good as you can easily navigate the features and get instant vibration alerts of text messages, Twitter and WhatsApp messages, yet replying back is not an option on the watch.
As you spend more time checking out the different features, you will know that this new generation smartwatch is a must grab for sports enthusiasts as it’s packed with more than 100 spots modes including Artificial Intelligence Running Coach, and the TruSport™️ algorithm that provides sports assessments and suggestions to help you train better.
It features a built-in speaker that allows you to play music right from your watch or answer calls.
You can get a detailed analysis of your physical activity, heart rate, weight history, and your daily burned calories among other options that show glimpse of perfection.
It is loaded with pretty much every sensor such as heart rate, GPS, and motion sensors for tracking your performance during exercise activities.
But there’s more too.
It features the blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) that works like an oximeter. It can also automatically detect the user’s duration of sleep including those short naps, accurately identify six typical sleep problems and provide hundreds of suggestions and personalised services to improve user’s sleep quality scientifically.
Moreover, the watch is backed with another solid feature that is quite vital in today’s fast paced environment as it serves as your stress management assistant.
It monitors users’ stress 24/7 and takes care of their health around the clock.
In addition, it has a built-in altitude barometer that monitors the current air pressure in real time and alerts you in case of drastic or extreme weather conditions – perfect for your outdoor adventures.
With claims of up to two weeks of battery life on full charge, you can wear this lightweight watch all day and use it continuously, even during sleep.
In fact, in our test, we were able to perform different functions for a week with no hassle keeping track of every workout, health check, monitoring water activities like swimming.
The recent downpour in Bahrain did not affect this watch, as you can use the wearable with wet fingers and later click at the “Drain” button, and you can see the water flush out of this timepiece.
The Chinese tech giant entered the smartwatch business more than five years ago and since then has not disappointed with its new models over the years, backed with its own operating system HarmonyOS to differentiate from Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS.
Verdict:
This is a smartwatch exciting on most fronts with a lot of potential specially when more third-party applications join.
It supports NFC which means contactless payment can be done at your popular shopping store, though it doesn’t have Wi-Fi.
Despite all this, it’s a perfect option for those who want to upgrade to a modern device or join the smartwatch revolution because this watch is not only smart with its looks, but is actually smart.
The 46mm model is priced starting from BD99.9 and the 42mm is priced starting from BD94.9.
