Huawei Watch 3 Pro
The Huawei Watch 3 Pro one goes for a more classic look, so it does have a bezel around the display. As we mentioned, it’s the materials and battery life that set the Pro apart, plus an extra feature.
The watch body is made out of titanium (the back ceramic again), the display is protected by sapphire glass. This one is larger, measuring 48 x 48.6 x 14 mm and weighing 63g (without a strap). Battery life is bumped up to 5 days with 4G enabled and 21 days in the Ultra-Long Lasting mode.
Huawei Watch 3 Pro, Elite and Classic versions
This is one of the first watches to feature a dual-band GPS receiver (bands 1 and 5), which will offer a more accurate and more stable position reading even in dense city environments.
Like its sibling the Huawei Watch 3 Pro can be pre-ordered in China today, sales start on June 11. Due to the premium titanium and sapphire materials, the Pro commands a higher price – it costs CNY 3,300 ($515/€425).
The sensor suite on the back includes the expected heart rate and blood-oxygen (SpO2) trackers, but also a skin temperature sensor. These work around the clock, the watch also features 24/7 stress and sleep tracking, all of which could help you spot health problems.
The Huawei Watch 3 can be used on its own too. It has an eSIM, which gives it a 4G data connection that can handle calls, of course, but also stream some tunes from Huawei Music and send it to your Bluetooth headphones. Interestingly, video calls are supported too, though with no camera on board they will be a bit one-sided (note: there is a built-in speaker).
Huawei Watch 3
Huawei is proud that it has brought the AppGallery to the watch. This means you can download and install HarmonyOS apps directly on the watch, no smartphone needed. The company has already partnered with several developers from outside of China who will bring their software to the new platform. Huawei didn’t mention the chipset, but did say that the watch has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB storage.
Since you’ll be juggling a lot of apps, the UI now features a grid launcher. You can pan and zoom around, which is a quicker way to find the app you need than scrolling through a list.
The battery life in standard mode is 3 days with 4G enabled, quite good for a proper smartwatch. You can enable the Ultra-Long Lasting Mode, which can stretch the battery to 14 days while keeping important functionality enabled: SpO2 monitoring, 14 workout modes, Bluetooth calling and even animated watch faces. Charging is done wirelessly.
