Huawei WATCH 3 evaluation: the return of the flagship has met expectations

On June 2, HarmonyOS and Huawei The full scene new product launch is launched online, and the long-awaited Huawei WATCH 3 series Intelligent Watch Also officially released. As Huawei's flagship smart watch, the last time WATCH series was released was four years ago. After four years, it will inevitably attract everyone's attention.

Of course, in addition to the long release interval, the latest HarmonyOS is another important reason why Huawei's WATCH 3 series has aroused users' expectations. As the first distributed operating system developed by Huawei, HarmonyOS will bring different experiences to smart watches. I think this will be a very curious part. Let's take a look.

01 Classic round dial design, exquisite workmanship, high-end and fashionable

As usual, let's take a look at the appearance first. Whether it is a traditional mechanical watch or a smart watch, the appearance and appearance is always a major standard for everyone to purchase. However, for Huawei smart watches with a mature design language, this is the last thing to worry about, especially the WATCH series, which represents Huawei's high-end flagship.

This time, Huawei WATCH 3 series still adopts the classic watch shape. The mirror surface is made of 3D sapphire glass with large curvature, which is bright and transparent, and feels like a jade. And after 15000 seconds of precision polishing, and with AF nano vacuum coating, it is harder, more wear-resistant, and can prevent fingerprints.

The case is made of 316L fine steel, which can resist daily minor abrasion and sweat through cold forging and hardening PVD coating process corrosion 。 The mirror level manual polishing and polishing can bring wonderful and moving luster and smooth touch to the metal surface, which is comparable to the refinement and high-level sense of traditional advanced watches.

It can be seen that Huawei WATCH 3, like many previous works, adheres to the circular dial design of traditional watches while following the exquisite processing technology of advanced watches. For example, it insists on pure manual polishing by experienced watch polishers. In addition, it also uses some materials that can only be seen on high-end watches, such as sapphire glass mirror, leather strap, etc.

From the wearing experience, Huawei WATCH 3 is relatively light and not very tiring. The watch strap supports quick disassembly design and can be adjusted without tools. The leather watch strap is made of European high-grade calf leather, which has fine natural texture, soft and comfortable. Excellent handwork ensures the good texture and durability of the finished product.

"Watch is watch" is the watchmaking concept that Huawei has always adhered to. It is this watchmaking attitude that shapes the design aesthetics and high-end watch texture of Huawei smart watches.

02 Convenient interactive experience, the most intimate wrist information center

With regard to Huawei WATCH 3, HarmonyOS can be said to be one of the most attractive places. Although we have seen some shadow of the system in the previous Huawei GT series, Huawei WATCH 3 is equipped with the latest HarmonyOS 2, which has made new changes in interactive operation. First, sliding operation is more smooth and easy, And the transition design and simulation of the real physical dynamic effect of a mirror to the end feel very real. In addition, the interaction logic of UX combines the smart watch with the smart phone, bringing a consistent interaction experience for the watch, and it can be easily mastered without more learning costs.

The operation logic is close to that of mobile phones

For example, at the main screen of the watch, when we slide the dial right, we can enter the negative screen. From top to bottom Voice Assistant , weather and other resident information, followed by Ongoing implemented in the background, such as exercise, stopwatch timer , calling, taxi information, navigation information, etc. When we click, we will directly jump to the function interface of the corresponding application.

In addition, multi device music control can also be found on the negative screen. When we play music with mobile phones, we can control the mobile phone to play and pause music through the watch end. The previous song, the next song, and the volume adjustment. I personally like this function. Every morning, when we squeeze the subway in the rush hour, the mobile phone is put in the pocket, which is not convenient to control music, At this time, you can lift your watch to control, which is very convenient.

In the position of the negative screen, the watch also brings some situational smart cards, which is officially called "Atomization Service". It is a new variant of lightweight service, which does not need to be installed. It is just like a small program on a mobile phone. The negative screen will provide recently used applications. At the same time, we can also browse all atomized services in the "service center", and add our favorite functions to the negative screen, or even to the main screen. Sliding left on the main screen can view some common service cards, such as heart rate, body temperature detection, wallet, etc. In addition, these atomized services also provide extremely rich information content, which basically covers all aspects of life. Users do not need to read their mobile phones frequently, and watches are the information center on their wrists.

Service Centre

For devices such as smart watches, the storage space and endurance of the body are often more stringent, which can reflect the advantages of the HarmonyOS atomization service.

In other intelligent interactions, Huawei WATCH 3 also provides a rich selection of interactive functions, such as supporting voice assistant functions, adding memos in one sentence, opening applications, setting alarm clocks, etc., which can easily liberate hands.

03 Better collaborative experience and more application expansion

As a smart watch equipped with HarmonyOS, its performance in multi device collaboration is also of great concern to users.

In the multi device control center, you can also use Huawei WATCH 3 to control other smart home devices, making the watch another control center after the mobile phone and an important part of the Internet of Everything ecosystem.

At the same time, the powerful collaboration ability makes the watch and mobile phone more closely linked. When we use some functions on the mobile phone, the corresponding functions will also flow to the watch side synchronously, which is undoubtedly closer to our expected operation logic. For example, we can't help but use the watch to control the phone to play music, and also use the watch to remotely control the phone to shoot. After the watch turns on the camera function, it will also adjust the camera on the phone at the same time, allowing you to release your hands and enjoy the fun of remote photography.

In the process of exercise, when we start running, cycling and other activities in the sports health app, the watch will automatically enter the sports screen, and the speed, distance, time, heart rate and other data will be synchronized to the app in real time.

In addition to the excellent collaboration experience, Huawei WATCH 3 comes with its own Huawei App Store, which provides a large number of third-party apps developed based on HarmonyOS. I tried the Gaud map myself. After turning on the navigation for walking or riding, the navigation instructions on the mobile phone are projected onto the watch screen. When we travel, we don't have to always stare at the mobile phone screen and turn it on. Lifting the watch can check the navigation information, which is not only convenient and fast, but also safer. In work and life, download IFLYTEK The shorthand app, Huawei WATCH 3, can also take voice shorthand. The recording can be easily converted to text. The content is synchronized with multiple devices, and the text is easy to edit. Download the overseas translation official APP, support more than 30 kinds of voice translation, and work and travel without worry.

Watch one button to turn up mobile sports live broadcast

If you are a sports fan, you can also download Tencent Sports APP to make an appointment on your mobile phone for the live content you want to watch. When the time comes, the watch will automatically remind you. At the same time, it supports us to adjust the mobile phone to play at the watch, so that sports fans will not miss any important game. In addition to these applications, there are also applications such as lemon drinking water and Dingdang quick medicine. If you are too busy with work and forget to drink water and take medicine, your watch will remind you to do these things in time.

In addition, Huawei WATCH 3 can also perfectly support the scanning payment function. The watch is also equipped with Alipay APP, which can display the payment code after binding. At the same time, it also supports offline payment, and can scan the code without mobile phone. Of course, these applications are just the tip of the iceberg of applications provided by Huawei WATCH 3. In the near future, more applications based on HarmonyOS will be added, and Huawei WATCH 3 applications will be more abundant.

04 Not only health monitoring equipment, but also a complete set of health solutions

After talking about so many new experiences brought about by HarmonyOS, let's talk about how Huawei WATCH 3 has become the most powerful health monitoring device on our wrist. First, in terms of functions, Huawei WATCH 3 retains some health management items of the previous generation, such as heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, sleep monitoring, etc., which of course support 24 hours a day.

In addition, Huawei WATCH 3 also provides wrist skin temperature and body temperature detection functions. Body temperature is a very important indicator of health monitoring. Huawei's inclusion of body temperature detection and skin temperature detection is to let users understand their current body conditions, and will also become an important reference for future research on women's health and respiratory health.

In addition to temperature detection, Huawei WATCH 3 also adds fall detection. Fall detection means that when a fall is detected, the user will automatically enter the distress mode. The user can automatically call the first emergency contact at the first time and send a help message containing location information, or select "Fall, but nothing" or "I didn't fall". If the user has no operation for 60 seconds, the watch will also make a call to the emergency contact, and send the SMS containing the location information to all emergency contacts. This function is quite practical for the elderly or extreme sports enthusiasts.

It is worth mentioning that the heart health research project has always been one of the most distinctive features of Huawei smart watches. 301 Hospital launched heart health research based on HUAWEI Research innovation research platform and Huawei WATCH 3, refined the identification of arrhythmias, and provided atrial fibrillation and premature beat screening, atrial fibrillation risk prediction, personalized guidance, appointment for medical treatment and integrated management services. To put it simply, by wearing Huawei WATCH 3, users can not only know their heart rate changes in real time, but also get scientific guidance and advice, so as to know their physical conditions.

Arrhythmia detection

Similar experiences also include sleep apnea research. 301 Hospital launched sleep apnea research based on HUAWEI Research innovative research platform and Huawei WATCH 3. Through intelligent recognition of sleep, heart rate variability, heart rate, blood oxygen and other information, it accurately screened the risk of sleep apnea, and provided professional suggestions on hierarchical grading.

Some people say that the biggest advantage of intelligent wear is that it can conduct health monitoring in a timely manner and let us know our health status at any time. However, for users, when they see the health reminder popping up on the smart watch, they feel more a kind of health anxiety. Huawei WATCH 3 did not stay here. Instead, it chose to focus on the solutions that users care more about. Through cooperation with some professional authorities, Huawei WATCH 3 provided users with detailed health monitoring data and more scientific suggestions and guidance, so that more users can know how to deal with their health problems.

Finally, I have something to say:

The above is my own experience after using Huawei WATCH 3. On the whole, Huawei WATCH 3 has the highest level of workmanship and materials, continuing the quality of Huawei WATCH series of high-end watches. Of course, what is more impressive is HarmonyOS. With the help of the new system, Huawei WATCH 3 has truly become the interaction center, smart center and health center on users' wrist.

Obviously, on Huawei WATCH 3, we have seen that as a smart watch, it is no longer an accessory of smart phones, but an important part of Huawei's Internet of Everything ecosystem, and has walked out of a path that only belongs to smart watches. I personally look forward to the next performance of Huawei WATCH 3. I believe that with the opening and improvement of more functions, Huawei WATCH 3 will also bring more new experiences to users.
