The Watch GT 3 series comes as a proper smart wearable that offers standalone calls without the need for a smartphone. The difference between the vanilla and the GT 3 is the design, build materials and the battery life, and we have the mightier version with us here.

Design and build

The Huawei Watch GT 3  arrives with a premium Black Fluor elastomer strap. It feels exquisite and looks amazing. Luxurious watches tend to weigh a lot, but our variant had a lovely feel on the wrist without being too much of a burden.

However, the 1.43” display and the 46mm case itself are rather big and might be too much for smaller wrists. The bezel around the touch screen is split into 24 sections (for the 24 hours of the day) but has little practical use with the majority of watch faces.

Another major change Huawei has done in its wearable department is how the watch is connected to the world. It's compatible with  Android and iOS devices. Connectivity with Bluetooth and GPS.

Now, everything has changed. The Watch GT 3  supports Wi-Fi connectivity, comes with NFC in global markets, and can connect to a mobile network on its own. There is a module inside that allows cloning the smartphone's SIM card through the Huawei Health app - there is a dedicated button in the menu

There is a magnetic 10W wireless charger in the box, but the Huawei Watch GT 3  can be charged pretty much with every Qi charger.
