But the health features don’t stop there.
There’s also Huawei’s TruSleep 2.0 which can not only track your sleep and identify your sleep states but also create sleep scores and offer personalised advice on how to sleep even better.
For us, the solution was simple. The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro told us we needed to go to bed earlier to get more sleep.

Golfers will also love the Driving Range mode which can analyse your swing and provide readings on your swing speed and swing tempo along with backswing and downswing time.
This is valuable information if you want to improve your game and ensure you can develop a smooth and consistent swing.

Our worst habit was a fast downswing and the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro helped us sort that out and come up with the right feel.
