HUAWEI Watch GT 3 (46mm) GPS + Bluetooth Smartwatch (Black) - International Version

Hasta el momento se ve bueno

Ive had two smartwatches before, one WearOS and one proprietary, and they each had substantial drawbacks. The Huawei GT 3 comes close enough to perfection (for my needs and wants - others mileage may vary) that I dont feel any hesitation in recommending it (with the caveat below for U.S. residents). The screen is bright and sharp, the battery life is exceptional (Im getting over ten days per charge without disabling anything except always-on display), and the UI is quick and responsive. Outdoors, it gets a GPS location fix within 15 seconds or so and accurately tracks my movements. There is an amazing quantity of watch faces, both paid and free, available. The speaker has adequate volume and surprisingly good quality, even extending to playing music acceptably. Why is it only almost perfect? For one thing, it charges relatively slowly - a couple hours for 0-100%. I cant just charge it when Im showering, as I could with my previous watch; it doesnt get back to 100% before I want to put it back on, so I have to find times when I otherwise would have been wearing it to put it on the charger. Also, the app store is very lacking, only 32 apps at this point, most of which have little interest for the general population. (Two I would especially like would be a camera shutter app and a voice recorder.) Overall, though, I really love this watch. Theres a special caution I need to give to prospective U.S. buyers: because of the Trump-era embargo against Huawei, Huawei does not provide service in the U.S., and that extends to app and watch face availability; those galleries simply dont appear in the Huawei Health app in the U.S. It is possible to get access to them on a U.S.-based phone, and it doesnt require advanced phone-hacking techniques like rooting or even enabling developer options. However, if youre not familiar and comfortable with techniques like loading APKs from non-Google sources, using a VPN, enabling a wifi hotspot, removing and inserting SIM cards, etc., or at least have a tech-savvy friend who can help you, this is probably not the watch for you. For me, though, having gone through the process, its as close to perfect as I could ask for.

I used my GT 2 smartwatch with an android and iOS phone as my daily driver for a little over 2 years. I loved it. It was easily the best smartwatch Ive used. It still worked just fine up until recently, when I ended up damaging it through hot water exposure (using in a hot tub and the gasket mustve finally failed). Thankfully, Huaweis GT 3 was just released so I decided to purchase it (spent a day revisiting the Apple Watch but the battery life on their $750+ model still was only at ~36 hours which is unacceptable for a smartwatch, Samsungs watches are just as bad). As for the design of the watch, the removal of the bottom watch scroll wheel was a welcome choice as Ive seen other GT 2 watches lose theirs from hitting the bottom on a railing or wall. The watch is fairly similar though for the most part as far as build quality and design goes. The watch uses fully wireless charging though now so you dont have to worry about the metal charging ports rusting or not connecting to the charger anymore. This was a lovely change. The battery performs about the same as the GT 2 though some of the new features such as continuous temperature tracking do eat up the battery life. I have to charge it every 5-7 days on average which for me is perfect (I charged my GT 2 about every 7 days). Granted I dont have an always on display but for me this is mainly a fitness tracker and notification checker. For those interested in a smartwatch that replaces your phone youll need to seek out one of the other smartwatches from the major US brands that dies in ~16 hours. Returning to one of the issues with this watch, regarding the Huawei data collection and trade disputes currently going on, you must choose which intelligence agency you want harvesting your data. Do you want a domestic intelligence agency archiving your personal data or would you prefer a foreign intelligence agency archiving your personal data? For me the choice seems obvious. The unfortunate aspect of this pressure from American megacorporations on competitive foreign megacorporations is that the abilities on the iOS Huawei Health app and the watch itself are severely restricted. Some of the customized watchfaces that Huawei phone users have access to or music playback features are completely unavailable to U.S. Huawei users (and other Five Eyes Intel nation-state users). With the charged economic and political climate in the US this watch may be further restricted or eventually banned so bear that in mind. Still, with all of the uncertainty around Huawei products working in the US and the restricted features, its still one of if not the best smartwatch on the market (the only other near competitor is the Apple Watch Ultra for the ECG tracking accuracy and slightly improved battery life).

I love this watch!

Nive pack and very nice looking watch. I have to return as that was impossible to pair with my smartphone MI10

This is a great smart watch and a real value at the price, BUT buyers in the USA BEWARE: You can not download the necessary phone app from either Playstore or Apple app store. Without it, the watch is useless. This was not disclosed by the vendor.

affordable and with multi-functions

I couldnt download the app on my region

I love this watch. It is a bit of a hassle registering it in the US, but worth jumping through the hoops. Register it in the UK and not Canada. For whatever reason when registering it in Canada it doesnt allow downloading new watch faces from the internet and you will be stuck with what comes stock. Registering in the UK fixed that. The battery life on this watch is insane! Were talking 10+ days with all the features on. Suck on that Apple Watch! Heart tracking is super accurate for a smart watch. Not to mention it just looks nice on the wrist.
