The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro is one of the most versatile smartwatches on the market with an incredible battery life and the ability to pair with any smartphone.

The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro is a smartwatch that pairs with both iPhone and Android smartphones and its functionality is also backed by a stylish design to give customers an impressive all-round experience.

And it’s on special for Father’s Day – it is usually priced at $899 but is now $599 until September 2.

The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro has a titanium body and offers a traditional circular watch face which many customers prefer because it looks like a real watch.

It has a look that will feel right at home in the gym or on run or in the boardroom.

The rear cover is made from nanocrystalline ceramic which makes it comfortable on your skin.

The watch is also complemented with an interchangeable leather watch band. A matching titanium strap is also available.

The case size is 46.6mm with a 1.43-inch AMOLED display that’s bright and sharp.

It is covered with tough sapphire glass.

And there’s no worry to take it in the water.
The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro has an IP68 rating so it’s dust and water resistant and has 5 ATM rating so it can go as deep at 30m.

The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro uses the Huawei Health app to pair with iPhone and Android smartphones and provides a detailed dashboard for your health and wellness stats and the details of your workout.

On the health side, the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro can track your heartrate 24/7 and SpO2 (blood oxygen) through the onboard TruSeen 5.0+ technology that uses eight photoelectric sensors arranged in a circle.

It can even notify you if your heart rate is outside its normal range.

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.

The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro can also sense when you’re feeling stress and guide you through breathing exercises

You can also be reminded to drink more water throughout the day.

One health feature the watch doesn’t have is an ECG.

To stay fit users can also choose from more than 100 workout modes including outdoor running, indoor running, walking, cycling indoors and outdoors, pool swimming, open water swimming, rowing, skipping, triathlon and much more.

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.

And golfers know that’s the key to improving and cutting strokes off your game. It certainly helped us.

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.

The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro operating system is simple and easy to navigate.

It presents all your apps in a simple grid that makes them easy to find.

There are number of apps available to download to the watch through the Huawei Health app through the Watch AppGallery.

Of course, being a smartwatch, the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro offers notifications on your wrist so you don’t need to take your phone out of your bag or your pocket.

You can also answer calls on your wrist as well because the watch has both a speaker and a microphone.

For messaging, there are several quick replies at your fingertips as well.

If you love your music the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro can also be your personal jukebox with the ability to sync playlists from your phone and stream to your paired Bluetooth earphones and headphones.

Without a doubt one of the most impressive features of the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro is the incredible battery life which Huawei puts at up to 14 days or eight days of heavy use which includes Bluetooth calls, use of GPS for workouts, regular use of sleep tracking and notifications.

And even eight days’ worth of battery doing all those things is remarkable.

This watch has increased its charging speed by 30 per cent.

You can get to 25 per cent charge in 10 minutes and 100 per cent in just 85 minutes.

The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro is available now and is usually priced at $899 but has been discounted to $599 until September 2 for Father’s Day.
