I got Huawei GT3 a month ago and I am happy with it, I also evaluated Amazfit GTR3 but I went for the Huawei 42mm due to my thin wrist Amazfit does not have a smaller version. Also I got at at a cheaper price than the Amazfit in Australia.
Hello all. I bought GTR 3 around two months ago. Have to say that I really love this watch. For me, the most important feature was the battery life. I am not using AoD, so I can squeeze around two weeks on battery which is amazing for me. And it's also cheaper, so it was really a no brainer.
I like your vid. So refreshing. Just me nitpicking. Wish you try to be consistent next time like amazfit will always be on the left when both products appear together.
Hello i watch your videos from Greece they are great! i want to buy a new smart watch i have iphone which you suggest Huawei gt3 or Amazfit gtr3? i have amazgit gts and works great with Zepp
Hey, thanks for the question! In my opinion the latest GTR4/GTS4 series are superb, you can check out the video: ua-cam.com/video/x2QO9YyYjWk/v-deo.html If you like the Zepp app, I think you should better stay with the Amazfit ecosystem.
All the rounds are very close for me to give anyone of them a win, except the functionality part which with a speaker and the ability to respond sms/whatsapp messages on huawei makes it a clear winner for me.
@@NKomarov lol I am using one and it is not sms only. It is whatsapp, sms, telegram etc. Any app that lets you respond from notification pane on your phone is possible.
wondering how the Amazfit won the design categoring. As someone who is a traditional watch enthusiest the Huawei design is just way better. It's more elegant looking and doesn't look as cheap as the Amazfit. The cheap looking crown alone on the Amazfit is somewhat of a turn off. I guess the amazfit would be better for people who just want a smart watch and don't appreciate watch design as much and the Huawei would be more for people are the opposite. The curved screen is a bonus but neither are saphire so nothing to write home about.
Definitely right. Huawei has a superior design & various sizes + golden ones for women. I've gor Huawei GT3 cheaper than Amazfit GTR 3 in my country.. and combined with speakers (the most important feature) it makes Huawei a winner for me.
Very useful information and comparison. The amazfit is presenting very good value indeed compared to the Huawei. I prefer the flat screen of the huawei. The message reply and call answering functionality can be a deal breaker for some. I'll stick to my gt2e for now, that huawei is still supporting well, just got the petal maps add on update
Great review, Mike! You even captured the annoying shortcomings of the GT3 with the iPhone. iIMHO, what really kills the budget smartwatches (even more than the lack of software expandability via an app store) is that, if you want better firmware/software on the watch, you have to buy a new watch. After two years a user will typically wind up spending the same money on cheaper alternatives and wind up with a drawer of them (like I have :-(. Keep up the great work!
Hey, you raise some very important and painful topics... On the other hand - I can notice that Huawei have still quite frequent updates on the Huawei GT2, which is great news about longevity.
@@TechMishka Yes, I was sure that my watch (gt2 from 2019) wont get more updates and I will have to buy new one which isnt ok, because you cant pay 300$ for watch almost every two years...
Siang, I will probably disappoint you on this one - since I am not that much into running and will hardly give any good feedback. But let's see if I can find someone to help me with reviewing it.
In the US it's so much easier to buy the amazfit devices, that gives another leg up for me. I would like to test out the gt 3 series though for their automatic workout detection and see how useful their system is compared to PAI on the amazfit gtr 3, which I quite like for general health.
I currrently have the Huawei GT2 Pro, which I got at a discounte price and I really love it. Does anyone know if the HarmonyOs update is coming to this watch?
The fact that the GT 3 has only 32mb ram is a big nono for me so I ended up ordering the GTR 3 pro last night and still alot cheaper! Thank you the video tho :)
best function on watch gt 3, can answer a call dircetly thru phone and wireless charging..thats 2 thing matter right now..with dirty hand during job who want to pickup a call thru phone..need to charge watch? now smart phone can do reverse wireless charging..u can charge your phone everywhere anywhere..
Very nice video !! Well done!!! Away from any amazfit !!!!! Mine you do not synchronize, it does not knock does nothing. To make it work I send a report every day through the application. I really cry about my money.
Two of my favourite smart watches. I ended up getting the Amazfit GTR Pro 3 because the Huawei smart watches didn't sync my steps with the Huawei fit app on Android which I found extremely frustrating and off-putting.
I wanted a smartwatch that looks good, doesn't look like some G-shock device, so I can use it while wearing a suit and while wearing hiking clothes. Has good battery life, route navigation and doesn't cost more than 500 Euros. GT 3 Elite (Stainless steel version) ticks all the boxes. Btw, route navigation seems to be the most overlooked feature of this watch in UA-cam videos and I believe it brings this watch close to some Suunto or Garming devices.
My gt2 is now having screen dieing issues(turning to unreadable lines and spots, but comes right a few hour's later) at 2+ years old, hence checking reviews(always on max brightness, vibration etc) ps, i got a free replacement at just 6 months, when sound and vibration both died. But checking prices here in nz, the amazfit is dearer than the gt3, and hasn't got some of the features i want in an upgrade, so its another huawei for me too.
@@TechMishka I hope so too, got the gt 3 on saturday,($438 here) like it so far. Starting to think, the gt2 may have water in it, as it starts working fine again, after leaving in a shaded hot spot, with speaker pointed upwards, and another time, it started working after putting in fridge for an hour (had been dead for 24 hours both times), so thinking moisture evaporating and condensing perhaps.
@@TechMishka update- Took the back off gt2, and left sitting on a dehumidifier for 6 hours at 40%rh, and has not failed in the 18hrs since, so fingers crossed i was right. Screws for back were a bit loose, so possible cause as o-ring not compressed enough. Re first failure, i suspected it was the work i was doing, that may have caused it, as i was using impact drills a lot, and kango hammers too, since then i got in the habit of taking it off while using them. Edit, spoke too soon, its 14 more hours later, and its gone again, and got a bit hot, perhaps its a battery issue.
I had an Amazfit GTR watch which I used for swimming. For the last two years it has had an intermittent bug which Amazfit acknowledged - where the watch doesn't count the lap distance properly. They have fixed it twice and but it is broken once again. I gave up and ordered a Huawei GT 3. Further, their customer support is also hopeless!
Confused, how are u confirming that the accuracy is good on both? Most reviewers state heart rate tracking on amazfit during activity is poor but resting rate is good. GPS on amazfit is meant to be excellent. Sleep tracking rubbish in both.
I often follow the same type of workouts and know my body performance pretty well. Wrist measures are never perfectly accurate, but these watches are doing a good job.
I own both and I have to say the Amazfit doesn’t work fine on workout modes. I am running on the gym and I can count my pulses around 140 while the watch is counting 90-100. HUAWEI gt3 never had such issues. Overall the quality of HUAWEI is higher and there is no comparison between the two of them. I think Amazfit is just fine for a person who just wants a very basic smartwatch without any expectations at all.
HR monitors of Amazfit are abysmal. Although everything else on Amazfit lineup is attractive but their HR for some reason cannot keep up with sudden spikes/changes in HR that is a huge drawback in my opinion.
It's no contest. The Huawei gt3 pro is not most accurate watch fir androud users out there. The fitness and HR accuracy is almost up with apple. The GT3 pro is better than the GT3. The Huawei gt3 pro is the best Apple alternative watch out there
If you are an Android Samsung Phone/Google Messages user (like me), the GT3 does not allow for auto text replies, so that becomes a wash for me. That, combined with the Pro version of GTR's ability to answer calls (and, it has Amazon Alexa), really makes the Amazfit a win.
My GT3 can answer/make calls, and can quick reply to SMS from my Samsung phone (just gotta turn off - use wifi to send SMS/MMS setting in the messages app (chat settings), to only using celular data options.
I think the Pro-version of the GTR would be the better one to compare with the Huawei GT 3.
Yeah, most likely!
I didnt care for the pro rather have the gtr 3

@@akari_4898 Not for myself. The only thing I did notice is that the steps can be abit off

Hello. Does it make sense to buy this watch in 2023? Is it better than the Suunto3 watch?
Suunto 3 is a very different one - much smarter but also - with way shrorter battery life. The GT3 continues to be on my wrist as I'm writing this.
All the rounds are very close for me to give anyone of them a win, except the functionality part which with a speaker and the ability to respond sms/whatsapp messages on huawei makes it a clear winner for me.
Agreed. Both are excellent watches. However - I do love the option to respond to phone calls using the watch.

no WhatsApp, SMS only

My thoughts exactly.
GT2e is awesome, and what I admire about it is the fact they still receive firmware updates.
Is the issue of gtr3 pro touch not responding intermittent or quite common, that is being reported very frequently now ?
I haven't noticed issues with mine. Could be a faulty batch.
Can I ask you about Amazfit GTR3 PRO. It can answer the call facebook manager and line?
Now I use iphone. 😊
Hey. Nice review. I have a huawei Phone. Should that affect my decision aswell? The price difference is 30 usd now... Thank you.

What useful for me is the vibration that comes with the notification. Thats all i need.....
GT3 is best for me because of the bigger screen and the speaker.

Why when im using gtr 3 running outdoor it keeps vibrating while running?
Does it show something on the display after each vibration? Might be an alert of passed 1km,

It is not.

What your Advaice if the Gt3 and GTR3 pro have same price 🤔?
I most often use Huawei's GT 3.
Which one should i buy Amazfit GTR 4 or Huawei GT 3 ?
Both are great watches. Get the one that comes at a better price.
No one describe the toggle menu ,can i put the huawei on vibrations from the drop down menu like in smasung watch?
You can switch to DND mode from the drop-down.

@@TechMishka thank you very much for your answer
GTR 3 Pro vs T Tex 2. Which one is better overall in your opinion?
Depends on what you want.
If you need to make phone calls via the watch - GTR 3. but the T-Rex 2 is in my opinion the overall better watch.
If only Huawei had Strava I would have gone for that
Yeah!
the gtr3 pro has a speaker for calls
It does indeed!
it was a mistake, not comparing the gt runner with the gtr 3 pro
Why do you think so? The GT Runner should be comparable to Garmin's models.
so GTR3 is better then GT3?
In some ways it is.
@@TechMishka GTR3 without mp3 player :(
I think you should get both. Both are great options compared to Apple or Samsung offerings.
I like your plan!
you should used the GTR 3 PRO not the GTR 3
Fair enough! 👍
Huawei GTR 3 is my best watch
Glad you like it!
Amazefit Gtr 3 or Xiaomi S1 ? which is better?
The S1 has some more features in my opinion.
