So if you get a quick WhatsApp message and want to shoot a reply, you’ll have to pull out your phone – despite the Watch 3 Pro having keyboard input built in. Notifications on the Watch 3 Pro are sadly a bit lacking, only because they only display information – you can’t interact or respond to them in any way. For further customization, you can even create your own animated watch face using a short video clip from your phone, but bear in mind that animated watch faces will start to drain your battery life. Whether or not you want to spend money on a watch face is entirely your call, but we opted to just go with what was already installed on the watch. There are a number of great watch faces to choose from, however we noticed that some of the more intricate (and nicer looking) watch faces were paid only, some set as high as AED 20. On iOS however, that selection drops to fewer than 100. It’s quick and easy to navigate around, and menus are easy to read.Ĭustomization is key here, and you can browse from over 1,000 watch faces to pick one that suits your mood and needs.
It feels like Lite OS 2.0, with full app support through the Watch’s AppGallery, slick menus, and an Apple Watch-style grid of apps.
While previous Huawei wearables ran either Android Wear or LiteOS, the Watch 3 runs Harmony OS 2.0.
If you’re looking to use the Huawei Watch with a non-Huawei phone, you’ll need to install the Huawei Health app on your iPhone or Android device and pair the Watch over Bluetooth - with varying degrees of functionality. It’s important to note that the Health app must be downloaded from the Huawei app store only – we tried a version from the Google Play store and it just didn’t play along when trying to pair the watch with our phone. It’s something we were very conscious that we were wearing while trying to fall asleep, and you certainly have to be careful of accidentally hitting a partner with it in your sleep. Further adding to the slight awkwardness is wearing the Watch 3 Pro as a sleep tracker. The watch’s size and weight does make it feel a bit odd on smaller wrists, which is something you’ll just have to live with for this Pro variant. You can also long-press it to activate Huawei’s digital assistant, which we’ll come to later. The Watch 3 Pro can be picked up with a leather strap like our review model had, or also with a metal link strap.īelow that is a secondary button which by default launches the workout mode, but can be configured for other uses such as music, alarms, contacts, and more. For the Huawei Watch 3 Pro, those buttons include a familiar rotating crown, giving you all the scroll-wheel familiarity of an Apple Watch, but none of the WatchOS rectangular vibes. Big, bold, round faces, modest bezels, and buttons on the right side. Huawei’s gotten very good at making wearables that look like watches.
In the UAE, pricing for the Huawei Watch 3 Pro is set at AED 1,999.
