Reasons for Purchase#
I have been using an Oppo watch before and I feel that it is not very user-friendly, so I have been looking for an alternative. I have considered using an Apple watch because it looks good, but the high price made me hesitate, and my phone is not an Apple. While browsing Bilibili, I saw a video where a content creator shared their experience with Huawei's ecosystem, and I was deeply attracted to it. Coincidentally, I also have a Huawei computer, so I decided to complete my Huawei ecosystem and experience the so-called Huawei features such as interconnectivity, multi-screen coordination, one-touch payment with the watch, and communication sharing. In short, it can be summed up in two words: advanced! I want to replace both my watch and phone with Huawei's. The Huawei Watch 3 uses stainless steel material, which feels very high-quality. For me, a watch is more for decoration than practical use, so I exchanged it with a Huawei Watch 3 from a friend on a certain app.
Real-life Appearance#
After the express delivery arrived, I immediately unpacked it and took photos and videos to avoid any accidents. The following images are the real-life appearance:
User Experience#
The Huawei Watch 3 uses a stainless steel frame with a smooth surface, which looks very high-quality. Personally, I think the round dial design is more attractive than Apple's. The battery life can last for more than 3 days, and in long battery life mode, it can even last for more than 14 days, which is much better than Apple in terms of battery life.
The screen uses an OLED display and supports always-on display. When the screen is off, it becomes a simple black and white dial. For those concerned about battery life, it is recommended to turn off the always-on display as it has a significant impact on battery life.
In terms of system fluency, the watch is decent. It is equipped with HarmonyOS 3 and supports blood oxygen, temperature, heart rate, and sleep monitoring. The smoothness of the OLED 60Hz screen refresh rate is quite good, although occasional frame drops may occur. The vibration feedback feels great to me, but compared to Apple, it is definitely behind. The number of downloadable apps in the app market is not very large, but it is sufficient for the watch. It goes without saying that it can make calls and receive message notifications. It is not much different from other Android watches. The screen has a slightly large black border, which doesn't look very good. The speaker of the watch is good for playing music.
Summary#
[Advantages] As a smartwatch priced at over two thousand yuan, the Huawei Watch 3 has exquisite design and fine workmanship. Whether it is screen resolution or hardware configuration, it is among the best in the current market for smartwatches. I dare not say it is worth every penny, but at least it is worth the price.
[Disadvantages]
1: The watch body is slightly thick, and the black border of the screen is wide.
2: The usability of the system is relatively poor.
3: Currently, there are relatively few available software.
[Overall Evaluation] In terms of hardware, the watch is worth its price. Although the appearance is slightly bulky, it can be overlooked for men. As for the system software, it is not a big problem for the manufacturer to follow up according to demand.
I recommend it for people who often engage in outdoor activities, work, travel, and need to make phone calls or do cashless shopping anytime, anywhere. Especially in emergencies, such as losing a phone, losing cash, low phone battery, unpaid phone bills, or urgent illnesses, having a smartwatch with a long standby time can monitor health in real-time, make phone calls without a phone, and go shopping without cash, making it an essential choice for people when going out, second only to a phone.
A smartwatch can be the second choice for people to carry with them when going out, in addition to a phone.
