    I use a Huawei Watch GT3 with a Pixel 6 Pro and a OnePlus 8 Pro myself and have absolutely no problem with disconnects. Another difference to the Watch GT2 are the sensors. They are damn exactly compared to my Garmin 6 Pro and heart rate belt. I find the crown stylish. All other points I agree with you.

    Thanks for the video! It's a shame you've had issues with your GT3, I've had mine for about 2 weeks now and I have not had a single disconnect, it's paired to a Samsung S21U and has been flawless. As far as comparing to the GT2, I had a GT2 Pro until recently and I have to say that the user experience is far better with the GT3. The UX is far more fluid and much faster and the rotating crown is a pleasure, but I do understand that everybody has different usage scenarios, that's just my personal experience. Very happy with the GT3, I had the GW4 but hated the battery life so tried the GT2, great watch but frustrated with the slow UX. The GT3 seems to be the "Goldilocks" device for me...just right!

      Hey, thanks for this. I have a s21ultra too and a Samsung watch active 2. Fed up with active 2 acting up, so thinking of replacing it . Since you used both gw and Huawei watch, any major compatibility issue between Huawei watch with th Samsung phone?

    I am personally very satisfied with this watch...perhaps SW was improved meanwhile? My child wants to play with it, but luckily it has "screen lock" function. Heart rate sensor accuracy is excellent - and this is the key distinction of this watch.

  • @abdulazimrosli7405
    @abdulazimrosli7405 2 роки тому +10

    Thanks for the video, just disagree with one thing, I do find the rotating crown useful during exercise/workout that involve water e.g. swimming, diving. When the watch inside water or your hand is wet, the touch screen seems hardly to function well. So you got the alternative of using the crown to help you navigate.

    While lifting weights - put your watch on upside down. The pressing the button issue during lifting is not unique to this watch.

    I don't have disconnet issue either. Gimmick features exists in every gadget. Just ignore it if find not useful. I bought it because of the upgraded more accurate heart rate sensor compared to other watches. The only comparable is Apple watch which is more expensive and not working for Android. Correct me if I am wrong.

    This is a detailed review that cites and demos specific problems Wes. +1. I actually disagree that a rotating crown is useless for smartwatches. Because integrating a dial control decreases levels of direct finger-to-screen contact. Plus, dial rotation is an interactive navigation device.

    Thanks for the video! Only 2 thinks I do not agree with: I'm not having disconnection issues on mine. On the evolution side: training plans are now finally customizable and AOD mode follows the watchface. Those are very welcome evolution.

    All watches have their bad sides... you only mention all what you dont like in the watch..how about those things in the watch that cannot be compared by other smart watches. like apple watch their battery sucks..and besides apple price is more than twice the huawei gt3 watch. all gadgets who ever made them always there is someone like you to find faults. It is better for you not to buy gadgets.

    Thanks for the nice review :) To be honest, I had the amazfit gtr 3 pro and I had to return it. It was lagging and the battery drained in 2 days. I returned it and I received the Huawei GT 3 today. I hope it won't disconnect like your unit. Apart from that, so far it is working fine. I hope they will fix some of the issues with software updates.

    You don't have to reset the watch in order to reconnect. What helped is unpairing the watch from the app itself (not just disconnecting it), and it worked again. Doesn't take much time, but not ideal, of course.

  • @edwingramba8743
    @edwingramba8743 2 роки тому +3

    Great review, as a cyclist I have been considering this watch especially now as I have GT2 Pro I love this watch but there only one thing missing, auto pause, so when I went to the shop and tested GT3 and saw the function of auto stop I was thrilled, apart from the unnecessarily higher price the reason I didn't buy it is because of the rotating button, it's absolutely useless and impossible to avoid, even if I cycle without gloves it's always going to be touching my hand and rolling around options and pause. Very sad.

    • @xxcusme

    Tips for the use of this watch, disable battery savings in the mobile for the health app. I preffer 10 days of use in this optimized watch, what 1 day in wear OS, apple Watch. It can store mp3 files and listen without mobile with an bluetooth ear-in. I don't move the rotating crown by error. I the measure of sleep are better than Samsung watch 4 and the heart rate in activity too.

    I have an Huawei Watch GT 2 pro y change for a GT 3 And tell you, what I won: 2 pro have a limit of 32 watchfaces, very low, versus 100 of GT 3. And the manage for change the watchfaces is the better use od the rotating crown.The principal mayor difference is the resistence of the display saphire of 2 pro, versus glass in GT 3 and the price, of course.
