Huawei often supplies beautiful and high-quality products and this certainly applies to the new series of Huawei Watch Fit 3 smartwatches with a sporty design and variety of fitness options. Read the review of the Huawei Fit 3 in the light pink version here.
Megan van der Wagt
Huawei has released a new series of Fit watches, succeeding the Huawei Fit 2 Active. The Huawei Watch Fit 3 is available in 4 different colors of fluoroelastomer rubber straps: black, pink, green and moon white, 1 gray nylon strap or 1 leather strap in pearl white. It has a simple appearance and 43 mm diameter. The smartwatch is only 9.9 mm thin. In addition to a newer and more fashionable design, many improvements have been made. The smartwatches are compatible with Android and iOS.
Performances
The appearance of a watch is worth a lot and there is an appealing model available in this series for everyone. The 43mm variants now have a square design instead of rectangular like the previous FIT models and are available in six different variants. The bright Amoled screen measures 1.82 inches with 480 x 480 pixels. The models have a borderless screen with a crown wheel and button on the side to easily control the smartwatch. The dial has numerous designs and can therefore be adjusted to your own taste. The weight is about 26 grams.
Specifications
Controlling the watches is made easy by the crown wheel on the side of the smartwatch. This allows you to easily go to the home screen of the watch, zoom in and out and scroll. The watch has a battery that lasts up to 10 days and with intensive use this is 7. Its own charger is included. The water resistance is 5 ATM and therefore also suitable for swimming.
The Huawei Watch Fit 3 also has the training option. You can choose between 13 different workouts and there is an option to add even more workouts. During walking training, the watch records, for example, the distance, your heart rate, the time, the number of steps, cadence and the number of calories consumed. Of course, for these functions you must have downloaded the Huawei Health app and linked the watch to it.
Optimizations
In addition to the various training sessions, the Fit 3 keeps track of a lot. This way it keeps track of your sleep data and the quality of your sleep. The watch can measure your stress level and your SpO2 level, which is not often the case with other watches. You can also view your calendar, add contacts that you can call via the watch with your paired phone, a multi-colored flashlight and you can check the weather.
Usage
For testing we had access to the light pink model. It is comfortable to wear and easy to operate via the crown wheel at the top right and the Side push button at the bottom right. This gives you a view of the dial and then the available apps. You can set all kinds of things, perform exercises, track calories, track sleep and much more that we can’t describe. It works quickly and the results generated look good.
Conclusion
The appearance of this series of watches is simple but enough, there is a lot of functionality, the measurements have been improved and the battery life is great. If you are looking for a nice, high-quality design for a smartwatch, then this watch is recommended.
