Hello, please tell me the full differences in use on the iPhone, I really liked the iPhone watch, but the functionality is not complete on the iPhone, what exactly is not?
I have the "raise to wake" setting enabled, and when I lift my wrist, the screen turns on. However, I have a problem after sleeping - when the watch is idle, and I wake up and raise my wrist, the screen doesn't turn on immediately. I have to move around for it to work. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
I currently have Amaze fit Pro3 which I've had for over one and a half years now and it is Great. After watching this review I am beginning to seriously consider the Fit3 but I have a Question which is: Does the Fit3 have One-Tap Measuring which is You choose the option then stand still for 45 seconds and gives You 4 Different Measurements namely: Hart Rate, Blood Oxygen, Stress Level and Breaths per minute?
No, that was a great feature of the Amazefit. The Watch Fit 3 is smaller, lighter, feels more premium, and I prefer the interface, though maybe that's just because I've used a lot of Huawei Watches before. It doesn't have Amazefit's PAI or one tap measurement, but it does have all day auto monitoring (auto SPO2 and HR) so you don't necessarily need to take the reading as it's already done. Hope that was helpful! Basil
Yes, BUT only certain models. The nylon strap with red crown, and the white leather strap. Other models don't have NFC. It also doesn't work for payments, only things like keycard AFAIK
No, I don't believe so. Basil EDIT - see Craig’s comment below. I have a MyZone HR monitor which isn’t working great so it’s possible my tests aren’t conclusive. I will put this question to Huawei and update when I hear back.
It depends on your brand of smartwatch, but unless you have a Huawei (or possibly Honor) phone, it's safe to just assume that you can't unfortunately. There is an app that supports it, Camera Opus, but it hasn't worked in my experience. Hope that helps! Basil
@@wilbertandrews Not to my knowledge. You can put store cards and QR codes, and in some countries, you can pay with a QR code, so I'm guessing that reviewer may not have actually been talking about NFC? In the UK, though, there's no wallet app, just a third-party store cards app that's available when the watch is paired with an Android device. Hope that helps!
@@tech_edit so I've learned that the Grey one with Nylon strap and white leather one has NFC. But whether it works for payments is another story. It seems it's just for Huawei OneHop to quickly make pictures you've taken the watch face.
Problem recording pool laps. Misses laps intermittently or stops counting. The heart rate and time continues so I have that data but I have to count the laps. Really dissapointed. Open water is ok. Using the watch for 2 months.
Gah, that's good insight and I'm really sorry to hear this. I'll ask Huawei if the GT5 series improves pool tracking over the Fit series as I'm working on those reviews at the moment.
I’ve had the HUAWEI GT2 for nearly four years and I just love it. When I used it with an Android device I could upload songs onto it. Unfortunately, with my iPhone now I cannot do that. Something tells me this is the case with this watch, too….
Huawei has replied, I was wrong! You can swap with other fit 3 straps, The little lugs come off so it still looks like regular watch. Huawei doesn't guarantee third-party strap compatibility, but you can purchase a separate fit link to be able to try, though I wasn't able to find it on Huawei's accessories site in the UK, that should be updated soon.
@@Dean.Michael.Winchester You’re right. I got my Fit 3 today. Strangely enough the straps for Fit 3 can be attached on Fit 2. But not the other way round.
Other than pre-set message replies and third-party apps (there are very few apps even with Android and the quality isn't good, so this isn't a big deal). Hope that helps! Basil
@@tech_editIs it possible to download and manage music on the iPhone in hours? Is there access to the rest? What exactly is disabled if you have an iPhone
Biggest issue with this watch is, does not have hiking mode (no altitude meter). And if you get multiple messages from one person, example viber, you will be able to see only last one. Smartwatch without calculator? Not even with additional apps? Few disappointments from me. People exaggerate and call it apple watch killer.....seriously.
Over a 30m workout, it had an overall almost identical graph to my chest strap, but at specific times it could be up to 5bpm out on occasion. This wasn't an issue for me doing HR interval training, but might me more of an issue for anyone who isn't a casual exerciser. I hope that helps!
Can huawei watch transfer the exercise data into Apple health app ?? is the rings in apple health getting updated with data from huawei health app?? Thanks for answering(hopefully).
I notice lots of review do not clearly talk about the fact you cannot install any apps on this. Unless things are in the Huawei fitness app then you cannot install apps. That's such a let down.
It measures 36mm x 43mm and is pretty light. Maybe cut out a piece of card with those dimensions and see? My mum who has very slender wrists found it to be okay.
The turn-based notifications may come through on your watch once you set your destination on your phone and start navigation, but there's no official map integration for the watch itself.
What about the Huawei health app, which many users have indicated consumes a lot of battery power on their phones? Also, are the NFC function and voice assist available outside China?
Hi All. Iam using Huawei GT3. Obviously i liked & still love it. But unfortunately currently iam unable to turn on my watch. Infact i have tried replacing my charger too. But when i charge my watch, Huawei Logo turns on after that the watch is dead. I have tried searching for a Auth Service in Chennai, India. Also tried to contact Huawei toll free. But very bad in terms of service from Huawei. No Auth Service centre & no response on toll free number. If Huawei is not available in India. Then please dont brand yourself as international brand.
Yes, my great aunt uses one, and she is 85, though I set it up for her and help her from time to time. It's great to be able to stay in touch with her over WhatsApp, and she WhatsApp calls family abroad. One of the good things about technology 🙌
1. Put your wireless audio device into pairing mode. 2. Open Settings, Bluetooth, and it will scan devices. Select your wireless audio device and it is paired. To transfer music across, you need it in MP3 format, and it transfers over Bluetooth so can take a long time. I hope that's helpful! Basil
doesn't have a PAI or equivalent, if your a serious exerciser you probably need a better watch, for most of us, amazfit's PAI is more than sufficient, this huawei is really only for those who fall between the two, amateurs who want to pretend, like me

Get gt4
Huawei watches are in there own class with battery life....insane compared to Apple Google Samsung....and makes it a no brainier for me.
Can you double tap to unlock the screen or just from the lateral buttons?
What about the strips is it easy to get ?
That actually looksgood. UI nice and smooth. Gonna sell my iphone and watch ultra when pixel 9 pro is out so researching android watches atm.
They normally bundle a free pixel watch with the latest pixel pro when on pre order
1-day battery life here we come 😂 Jkjk, I actually rate the Pixel Watch 2.
Huewei watches are in a league of there own. Nothing else competes with battery.
It is copycat
Can you pay with them ?
Tnaks for testing the heart rate measurement accuracy on this watch
Can you connect it to Strava?
Yes
Are the notification from calls and WhatsApp messengers get through 100% for iOS?
Hello, please tell me the full differences in use on the iPhone, I really liked the iPhone watch, but the functionality is not complete on the iPhone, what exactly is not?
Can you use the watch for calling?
Yes, it uses the Bluetooth connection for calls and the quality is great.
Just bought one. It is very comfortable to wear and very good looking. You can change strap easily and I bought 3 straps from Taobao.
Hello, why the camera shutter on my watch fit 3 isnt available ?
Really informative review dude 👍
Thanks for the kind words :) Basil
This could scan body fat and muscle please ? like the galxy watch 6 ?
no.
Can you compare with garmin venue3 ?
Can you connect garmin chest band to it?
Did the watch can connect to Whatapp phone call and message replies?
Yes.
Does it track total calories burned so resting and workouts. My GT3 only tracks workout calories which is a pain
Yes it does. I m using it and its great
Yes it does
I have the "raise to wake" setting enabled, and when I lift my wrist, the screen turns on. However, I have a problem after sleeping - when the watch is idle, and I wake up and raise my wrist, the screen doesn't turn on immediately. I have to move around for it to work.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
same with me. Because of that i had to press the button for it to light up. Kinda annoying. 🥲
What about the accuracy of the sensors?
There are compare Videos on UA-cam to Apple Watch, its very accurate
Can you read messages on watch or other notifications just like apple watch do ?
You can read notifications on the watch, but you can only reply to supported app notifications when the watch is paired with an Android phone.
The screen is large?
recovery time is it on fit 3? thanks for the quality of the video.
Yes, can confirm this is available also able to pair with HR and other sensors for when cycling and things

Just a Bonus Question if I can:
Does it measure Blood Oxygen Level?
@ivonikolov8709 yes, another term for blood oxygen is SPO2, and it measures that all day :)
Thanks two Million 😊@@tech_edit
Thanks for your review 🤩
Will this watch count steps while pushing a stroller?
Yes.
does it have auto pause during exercise? your response is highly appreciated? thanks
From reviews I watched yesterday it auto pauses it aslong as it is detected
Do it have NFC??
Yes, BUT only certain models. The nylon strap with red crown, and the white leather strap. Other models don't have NFC. It also doesn't work for payments, only things like keycard AFAIK
Can it be connected to external hrm ?
No, I don't believe so. Basil EDIT - see Craig’s comment below. I have a MyZone HR monitor which isn’t working great so it’s possible my tests aren’t conclusive. I will put this question to Huawei and update when I hear back.

Can you put regular watch straps with the grey version?

I heard from another reviewer that the straps for Fit 2 are compatible with Fit 3. And you tell the opposite. Have you checked their compatibility?
I'm going by what Huawei specifically told me in my product briefing. I haven't tried fitting Watch 2 straps. Hope that helps! Basil
Nope, it wont fit.. The "clip" on fit 2 is bigger than fit 3..
@@Dean.Michael.Winchester You’re right. I got my Fit 3 today. Strangely enough the straps for Fit 3 can be attached on Fit 2. But not the other way round.

Yes can
Yes, 1.5 GB of storage available
They said 4Gb storage.but 1.5 gb only
Only for Android, best with a Huawei phone obviously (unfair). Does not work with iOS.
Beautiful explanation mate👌

Biggest issue with this watch is, does not have hiking mode (no altitude meter).
And if you get multiple messages from one person, example viber, you will be able to see only last one.
Smartwatch without calculator? Not even with additional apps?
Few disappointments from me. People exaggerate and call it apple watch killer.....seriously.

What about heart rate accuracy?
Over a 30m workout, it had an overall almost identical graph to my chest strap, but at specific times it could be up to 5bpm out on occasion. This wasn't an issue for me doing HR interval training, but might me more of an issue for anyone who isn't a casual exerciser. I hope that helps!
So I can't text on it if I have a iphone synced with it??? That isn't fair
Due to apple limitations
The Huawei fit 2 bands don't work with the 3? Look very similar
They do look similar, you're right, but they aren't compatible based on the info I was given. Huawei confirmed they are different fittings. Basil
Can it Have games
Can huawei watch transfer the exercise data into Apple health app ?? is the rings in apple health getting updated with data from huawei health app??

Which one would you prefer, huawei watch fit 3 or xiaomi watch 4? Can you please do comparisons?
Huawei watches are too good.Wondering when will it launch in India
looks/works brilliant, would purchase if it connected to 3rd party apps, in which it is extremely limited. Show stopper for me.
I really love it and it's actually affordable
I notice lots of review do not clearly talk about the fact you cannot install any apps on this. Unless things are in the Huawei fitness app then you cannot install apps. That's such a let down.
What app? Stock futures are already good enough. Smh
