Imagine an Apple Watch, but with better battery life and with close to half the price tag. That’s what the Huawei Watch Fit 3 promises to be, and it’s also compatible with both Android and iOS. On paper, it seems to address many of the common complaints people have about the Apple Watch. But that's not why so many of you have been urging me to review it. The buzz is all about Huawei's claims of improved health and sports tracking. So today, we're diving into my initial tests of the Watch Fit 3. And I have to say, in terms of design, this is my favorite Huawei product in a while. I think the square shape is just so much nicer than the elongated shape that the previous Huawei Watch Fit watches and most Huawei bands tend to have. But enough about aesthetics and specifications. Let's jump straight into the testing and see how this smartwatch really performs.

I don’t have enough data to draw any definitive conclusions about the GPS tracking of the Huawei Watch Fit 3. However, at first glance it does look promising. Overall, the Watch Fit 3 seems like a solid device. For about 160 euros or dollars you get good quality heart rate tracking and what seems like decent GPS tracking. However, the sleep stage tracking is not very good, so I would only use it to track my total time in bed. Considering the price point and good battery life, it’s a solid choice, and it could be an Apple Watch alternative for those people on Android focussing on sports tracking, or even people on iOS that don’t like the limited battery life of the Apple Watch. I should note though that it might be difficult for people to get any Huawei device if you live in the USA, and it might take a while for it to be listed on Amazon. There is also one small thing that bugs me about the screen of the Watch Fit 3. This might be my slight OCD rearing its head, but every time I look at it, at least optically, the bezels on the top and bottom seem slightly bigger than those on the sides. This is a super small thing, and quite personal, but it does take away from some of the beauty of this device. All in all, I do like the watch fit 3, and I would have no problem recommending it to people that want a well-priced smartwatch with good heart rate tracking. Therefore, overall, I’d give it 3.5 out of 5 stars generally, and given the low price, I might bump it to 4 stars, with the caveat that the sleep stage tracking is not reliable enough. Now, of course the results I showed you might vary from person-to-person, so please also check some other reviewers.
