Saturday's gadget: Huawei Watch Fit 3, in price and features they have nailed it

In recent years, Huawei has stood out in the )), laptops,tablets and watcheswith the clear intention of compensating for the veto that the Trump government has subjected it to. And the last of his gadgets, the Watch Fit 3 only confirms the trend. What's special about it? A lot, but let's start from the beginning.

Both the aesthetics (the red button on some of its six models), and the profiles, closely resemble an Apple Watch. They are smaller and lighter (as if they had been “stylized” in Photoshop), but the similarity is obvious. However… it's a copy?

And the last of his gadgets, the Watch Fit 3 only confirms the trend. What's special about it? A lot, but let's start from the beginning.

Both the aesthetics (the red button on some of its six models) and the profiles closely resemble an Apple Watch. They are smaller and lighter (as if they had been “stylized” in Photoshop), but the similarity is obvious. Now… is it a copy? go as argument remember the Sony SmartWatch from 2012 (two years before the first Apple Watch came out): square, with metal profiles and which could have been used as a base by Apple, which also styled them with Photoshop. Let each one judge.

Now, let's get to the important thing: the watch. Yes, it is compatible with iOS and Android and it works very well in this section. No, it does not allow you to respond to notifications. It comes in six different colors and its straps can be interchanged (originally silicone, leather or nylon, depending on the model). Its starting price is 150 euros and during this month they include Free Buds SE2 headphones.

In the negative section we can say that this smartwatch is very honest: what you see is what you get. Or, in other words, There is no possibility of downloading applications beyond those that are included. It also does not allow wireless payments. Being a sports watch, especially the one with a nylon strap with the red button, it is not the tool that many may look for if we take into account that, for example, we cannot use Strava (or other similar apps) on it. Perhaps what can hinder the watch the most is this factor, along with the inability to respond to notifications, something that could be solved in a future update.

What it does allow, As long as it is connected to the phone, it is answering calls. And it does it very well on both ends: our interlocutor is heard very well and he also listens to us adequately.

Without being a medical device, the measurements of sleep, stress, heart rate and blood oxygen are very accurate and they serve as a guide so that we can reach different training or routine thresholds.

When it comes to sports availability (blessed days of digital watches that only told us we had run 43 minutes), you have the option of 100 sports, a “virtual trainer” that suggests movements, exercises and warm-up options with audio and animation. To this he adds Huawei Health offering more than 600 training courses.

The GPS is also quite accurate and it is appreciated that the screen has a very high brightness (1500 nits) and that it changes color depending on how much effort we are making (due to heart rate). The screen is 1.82 inch AMOLED.

Obviously it can be used as a remote control to take photos with your mobile phone, it connects to Bluetooth with helmets and more precise heart rate measurement devices and others.

In the battery section: with a single charge it remains “live” up to 10 days and 10 minutes of charging are enough to give us an extra day (and yes, they come with their own charger). Of course, it is a magnetic charger and sometimes you have to make sure it is well connected so as not to waste time.

It is very easy to navigate thanks to a crown that allows us, by pressing, to access the main menu and by turning to one side and the other to zoom. The other button is customizable and allows us to press it, for example, and directly access the start of our selected exercise. It's very light, just 26 grams and it is almost not felt in the hand. Even so, it resists 5 ATM and its appearance is not something flimsy. The option of the personal weight control trainer is interesting, since it is based on scientific data obtained from 50 countries and provides nutritional analysis.

Verdict:

For aesthetics, features, quality and battery, for 150 euros, there is no better option right now.
