The manufacturer also pointed out that the panel of the Huawei Watch GT3 42mm has a 3D curved glass. The case measures 10 mm thick and weighs approximately 35 g without the strap.
Speaking of the 46 mm model, the screen AMOLED it also has 466 pixels, with the size of 1,43 inches. The case of the largest version is 11 mm thick, weighing approximately 42,6 g without the strap. The bracelet of the largest variant has a width of 22 mm. O Huawei Watch GT3 hits the market with six color options, three for each watch size.
The case of both models is developed in sapphire and the sensors that monitor health information are on the back. Asked about a possible separate sale of bracelets, the Huawei stressed that this is in his plans, but there is no way to buy more options at the moment.
Operational system
contrary to Galaxy Watch4, Samsung, which has the Wear OS do Google, Huawei Watch GT 3 hits the market with HarmonyOS 2, which was developed by the Huawei. Present in the other smart watch models that the company has placed on the market, the big news is the addition of new applications to the gallery of Huawei.
It is now possible to install third-party apps, such as the Adidas and even the Exercises at Home, which has more than 2 million downloads on the Google Play Store. There is no support for the Strava, one of the main apps used by those who exercise. THE Huawei confirmed that it is in contact with the developers to bring this option in the not-so-distant future.
In addition to having more than 100 training modes (18 of which are professional and customized training for different sports) the new version of Harmony OS also allows you to receive reminders from the personal assistantl about appointments or tasks, as well as taking a deep breath when a change in the body is detected.
The use of the watch will be adapted according to the type of training performed by the user, and one of the highlights is the Smart Race Plan, which develops adjustable contents according to the heartbeat. The new watch Huawei also provides safety guidance for outdoor training. You will know about sunrise time, tide time, moon phases and receive bad weather alerts.
Huawei Health App
Using the operating system SmartWatch is complemented by the use of Huawei Helth, application that is available for Android e iOS and, according to the company itself, it is already used by more than 280 million people in 180 countries.
It is possible to have access to deeper data about your health, as well as information about the last workouts you performed. The same application can be used as a large control center for more products manufactured by Huawei, such as smart scale and/or other versions of smartwatches released in previous years.
Sensors and location system
To ensure that you have access to as much information as possible, the Huawei chose to put six sensors in its new smartwatch. Are they:
- Accelerometer;
- Gyroscope;
- Geomagnetic sensor;
- Optical heart rate sensor;
- Air pressure sensor;
- Temperature sensor.
With the information being available in real time, the Truseen 5.0 Frequency Monitoring is one of the great highlights, which includes monitoring the heartbeat with twice as many receiving lights compared to the Huawei Watch GT 2. There are eight photodiodes in the 2022 release.
The model has a sensor that can measure the level of oxygenation in the blood, a factor that can indicate possible diseases and even that the training is not doing well. This information can be viewed in the app Huawei Health. The smart watch performs sleep monitoring so you have access to your body information even when you are resting.

Storage, performance and battery
The processor of both versions is the Cortex-M, ARM, and the internal storage is 4GB. The manufacturer confirmed that in addition to being used for installing applications, this memory can also save music. This ensures that you don't have to take your cell phone with you when doing your training. RAM memory can be an issue: there's only 32 MB for apps to work.

The manufacturer points out that this can vary greatly from user to user, but in tests with sensors activated for about half an hour each day, battery life reached 14 days.

Connectivity
with an antenna Bluetooth, the smart watch can connect with smartphones with Android e iOS. After pairing is done, you can see notifications from your cell phone on the watch screen, in addition to being able to answer calls if the smartphone is within 100 meters. You can also connect headphones to the Huawei Watch GT 3 to listen to songs.
Unfortunately, neither of the two versions of the SmartWatch arrives in Brazil with support for eSIM. If you need the internet to save new music or even reply to people in messaging apps through Huawei Watch GT 3, you will need to use a Wi-Fi network. A variant with eSIM may be launched by the company in the future, but the entire approval process with the Anatel did not allow it to arrive in time.
