Technology has a way of changing our lives for the better when well thought out. This month, Farah Baig tested out HUAWEI’s latest flagship watch, the HUAWEI WATCH GT3 Pro, which brings a whole new meaning to luxury, functionality and innovation.
There’s no denying that women, especially in this day and age, are constantly busy. We’re nurturers and perfectionists by nature, so for a vast majority of our time we’re taking care of the needs of others or perfecting everything we put our minds to. When it comes to myself, while I am quite a busy woman, I find that countless hours are involuntarily spent seated resulting in what is no a terribly sedentary lifestyle. It’s when the realization kicks in that you just wish you had a gadget at hand that would serve as a reminder to care for yourself.
While there might be a few nifty gadgets available on the market, few can offer the full range of functions and convenience offered by the stunning new watch from the technology giants, Huawei. On unboxing the HUAWEI WATCH GT3 Pro, I was impressed by its sheer luxury and design with its beautiful white ceramic bracelet and gold-rimmed face.
Over the course of a couple of weeks, I explored and discovered a number of functions that positively impacted my life. Here are some of my main observations:
- It keeps your health in check.
The watch is equipped with a number of sensors and smart functions that keep you aware of your movements throughout the day. Quite simply, just by glancing down at your watch you’re made aware of the number of steps you’ve taken during the day among several other key factors regarding your overall health.
In terms of cardiac health, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 3 Pro supports Electrocardiogram (ECG) data collection, which can accurately provide single-lead ECG measurements, real-time analysis, sinus rhythm and atrial fibrillation detection, and premature atrial and ventricular beat reminders for users and supports arterial stiffness detection, allowing users to actively prevent the risk of vascular diseases. This means that at a push of a button, you can keep track of your blood pressure, bloody oxygen levels and more – things that we aren’t always aware of.
- It keeps you moving.
Time is an essential commodity, and on some days making our way to the gym is just not possible. That’s where the impressive HUAWEI WATCH GT3 Pro comes in. It offers you over a hundred workout modes, including several home-friendly workouts, at the click of a button. On days when you do in fact have the time to make it to the gym or perhaps a fun outdoor activity, you can make use of the professional workout modes that we quite enjoyed. This includes walking, running, open water swimming, triathlon, elliptical and rowing machine apart from a smart running plan.
- It’s fashionable and elegant.
With its beautiful, timeless design the HUAWEI WATCH GT 3 Pro is the perfect addition to any outfit. The watch is feminine and elegant, and so I was able to wear it any time of day – whether I was attending corporate meetings or casual get-togethers with friends and family. Being able to wear it throughout the day meant that I was able to properly gauge my steps throughout the day. Its streamlined design and high-end materials make it a sophisticated final touch to your aesthetic.
- Its attention to finer details.
I appreciated the efforts of Huawei’s innovators to incorporate little details that just make sense and set this watch apart as a premium product. As someone that spends countless hours seated, I was pleasantly surprised to learn one afternoon that the watch reminds you to “Get up and move.”, complete with an animation, when it’s detected that you haven’t moved in a while which served as a welcome reminder.
In addition, the watch face is in fact a 1.43-inch AMOLED colour display which displays icons, workouts, the time and more in the most vivid colours. Another fun fact is that the watch face changes depending on the time of day with a bright white and blue interface during the day, and an elegant black and gold interface following the sunset. A detail that really adds that wow-factor.
- Its battery life.
The HUAWEI WATCH GT 3 Pro comes with a fast charger that is easily plugged you’re your laptop or other charging ports. inherits the ultra-long battery life of the HUAWEI WATCH GT Series. In typical scenarios, the watch offers you a 7-day battery life, while at times of heavy usage, you typically have about four days of battery life. In addition, once drained, the battery usually takes just between 10 and 20 minutes to charge.
The smart functions and aesthetic of this truly exceptional watch has made it one of the five essentials that I now never leave the house without. Needless to say, I look forward to making the most of it whether I’m on the go, or being reminded to ‘Get up and move.’
