> 3 dayIve had two smartwatches before, one WearOS and one proprietary, and they each had substantial drawbacks. The Huawei GT 3 comes close enough to perfection (for my needs and wants - others mileage may vary) that I dont feel any hesitation in recommending it (with the caveat below for U.S. residents). The screen is bright and sharp, the battery life is exceptional (Im getting over ten days per charge without disabling anything except always-on display), and the UI is quick and responsive. Outdoors, it gets a GPS location fix within 15 seconds or so and accurately tracks my movements. There is an amazing quantity of watch faces, both paid and free, available. The speaker has adequate volume and surprisingly good quality, even extending to playing music acceptably. Why is it only almost perfect? For one thing, it charges relatively slowly - a couple hours for 0-100%. I cant just charge it when Im showering, as I could with my previous watch; it doesnt get back to 100% before I want to put it back on, so I have to find times when I otherwise would have been wearing it to put it on the charger. Also, the app store is very lacking, only 32 apps at this point, most of which have little interest for the general population. (Two I would especially like would be a camera shutter app and a voice recorder.) Overall, though, I really love this watch. Theres a special caution I need to give to prospective U.S. buyers: because of the Trump-era embargo against Huawei, Huawei does not provide service in the U.S., and that extends to app and watch face availability; those galleries simply dont appear in the Huawei Health app in the U.S. It is possible to get access to them on a U.S.-based phone, and it doesnt require advanced phone-hacking techniques like rooting or even enabling developer options. However, if youre not familiar and comfortable with techniques like loading APKs from non-Google sources, using a VPN, enabling a wifi hotspot, removing and inserting SIM cards, etc., or at least have a tech-savvy friend who can help you, this is probably not the watch for you. For me, though, having gone through the process, its as close to perfect as I could ask for.
