Want to get more out of your smartwatch than just fitness and health tracking? Then Huawei’s new wearable should already be in your cart. The Huawei Watch 3 is one of the best wearables you can get if you’re looking for a watch that has style, smarts, and productivity baked into one device.
What’s great about the Watch 3 is that it looks like a normal 46mm watch from a distance. It comes with a very stylish and elegant stainless steel chassis topped off with a ceramic back. also, It has silicone straps that can be very easily removed and replaced with regular watch ones.
The watch comes with a massive 1.43-inch, 466 x 466 resolution AMOLED touch panel, and uses a rotating crown to navigate its slick new all-new HarmonyOS. The Watch 3 is an upgrade over Huawei’s previous smartwatches in many ways, but really it’s HarmonyOS and its integration with the brand’s other devices that make it one of the best wearables you can buy today.
For one thing, you can install apps from Huawei’s AppGallery onto the watch, expanding its usability and versatility from just being a simple activity tracker into something more. It gives the watch more versatility, giving wearers additional tools for their social network, travel, sport, and office needs.
Another great feature about the watch is its eSIM technology, which gives it a data connection of its own independent of a phone. That means you no longer have to carry around your phone when you’re out running or jogging to get updates to your social media pages, texts, or messages. Heck, you can even take calls directly on the watch, so you’re never out of reach when you’re out exercising. Take note that you’ll have to contact your telco provider to turn on the eSIM functionality of the Watch 3.
The watch even has a built-in virtual assistant dubbed Celia, the same one that’s already on Huawei’s other smart devices and phones. Celia can schedule appointments for you as well as check your schedule, and even do web searches for you if needed, all without the need for a phone.
The Watch 3 is a great device for tracking your exercises, as it supports GPS by itself (no need for a phone), and has all the sensors you need to track your progress. Aside from the requisite heartbeat monitor, it can also track skin temperature, stress levels, SpO2 (oxygen saturation), and sleep, giving you real-time data of what’s happening with your body at all times. The Watch 3 integrates into your phone via Huawei’s wellness app, Huawei Health, which gives you robust fitness tracking over time as well as showing you a better snapshot of your wellness journey as you use the wearable.
Aside from robust tracking capabilities, the Watch 3 also has tracking support for over 100 sport modes, so it doesn’t really matter what sport or activity you’re into – it can be as basic as running or as obscure as cross-country skiing – the Huawei Watch 3 will be able to track it accurately.
If that wasn’t enough, you can further expand the Watch 3’s capabilities by connecting it to other devices in Huawei’s ecosystem like the Scale 3 Pro to give you even more data about how your diet is going, as well as the FreeBuds 4 and Huawei’s other smartphones. Connecting these devices gives you even more functionality out of the Watch 3. The Watch 3 also allows you to quickly transfer video calls from your wrist into other Huawei devices like the Vision S, the MateBook and any other EMUI or HarmonyOS-powered device with a simple press of a button.
The Huawei Watch 3 is now available for PhP18,999 with Philippine variants coming with the black strap. You can buy one via Huawei Store, Lazada, Shopee, Huawei Experience Stores, and Authorized Retail Stores nationwide.
