Can you connect it to Strava?

[@Mateusz9786]

Yes

[@preciousjoylabuga1628]

Can you use the watch for calling?

[@tech_edit]

Yes, it uses the Bluetooth connection for calls and the quality is great.

[@perkulant4629]

That actually looksgood. UI nice and smooth. Gonna sell my iphone and watch ultra when pixel 9 pro is out so researching android watches atm.

[@craigward26]

They normally bundle a free pixel watch with the latest pixel pro when on pre order

[@tech_edit]

1-day battery life here we come 😂 Jkjk, I actually rate the Pixel Watch 2.

Can it be connected to external hrm ?

[@tech_edit]

No, I don't believe so. Basil EDIT - see Craig’s comment below. I have a MyZone HR monitor which isn’t working great so it’s possible my tests aren’t conclusive. I will put this question to Huawei and update when I hear back.

Do it have NFC??

[@abohsukampret]

Yes, BUT only certain models. The nylon strap with red crown, and the white leather strap. Other models don't have NFC. It also doesn't work for payments, only things like keycard AFAIK

[@mahamoudtraore2339]

[@Dim268]

wonderful watch but i want to know if it has NFC feature?

[@tech_edit]

Hi Dim268, no NFC on here to my knowledge, but see the comments below.

[@Dim268]

@@tech_edit thnks for the reply

[@wilbertandrews]

@@tech_edit NFC must be present in the submodel because another review talks about the possibility of paying or linking other cards.

[@tech_edit]

@@wilbertandrews Not to my knowledge. You can put store cards and QR codes, and in some countries, you can pay with a QR code, so I'm guessing that reviewer may not have actually been talking about NFC? In the UK, though, there's no wallet app, just a third-party store cards app that's available when the watch is paired with an Android device. Hope that helps!

[@SDav21]

​@@tech_edit so I've learned that the Grey one with Nylon strap and white leather one has NFC. But whether it works for payments is another story. It seems it's just for Huawei OneHop to quickly make pictures you've taken the watch face.

[@eksgearbox9757]

Do you have a storage for music?

[@jefftyt]

Yes can

[@craigward26]

Yes, 1.5 GB of storage available

[@rosellevaldez8989]

They said 4Gb storage.but 1.5 gb only

[@KayDee778]

Only for Android, best with a Huawei phone obviously (unfair). Does not work with iOS.

[@valentinarodriguez8257]

Can I control music with it on iOS?

[@josephpatricio8128]

does it have auto pause during exercise? your response is highly appreciated? thanks

[@kinggamesandvlog8803]

From reviews I watched yesterday it auto pauses it aslong as it is detected

[@49.Entertainment]

What about heart rate accuracy?

[@tech_edit]

Over a 30m workout, it had an overall almost identical graph to my chest strap, but at specific times it could be up to 5bpm out on occasion. This wasn't an issue for me doing HR interval training, but might me more of an issue for anyone who isn't a casual exerciser. I hope that helps!

[@Thelewisdxb]

Does it track total calories burned so resting and workouts. My GT3 only tracks workout calories which is a pain

[@innsvp]

Yes it does. I m using it and its great

[@eugenz22]

Yes it does

[@jay11879]

Does Watch Fit 3 support "Tap Screen To Wake" function?

[@umayrali6159]

Yep

[@HarpreetMaan-em2pk]

Can you read messages on watch or other notifications just like apple watch do ?

[@tech_edit]

You can read notifications on the watch, but you can only reply to supported app notifications when the watch is paired with an Android phone.

[@GufiGolaz]

Does it pair with iPhone in everything?

[@tech_edit]

Other than pre-set message replies and third-party apps (there are very few apps even with Android and the quality isn't good, so this isn't a big deal). Hope that helps! Basil

[@Mafachert]

@@tech_editIs it possible to download and manage music on the iPhone in hours? Is there access to the rest? What exactly is disabled if you have an iPhone

[@EpicSmasher2]

Can you put regular watch straps with the grey version?

[@tech_edit]

I don't believe so, I've asked Huawei to confirm and will update this when I hear back.

[@tech_edit]

Huawei has replied, I was wrong! You can swap with other fit 3 straps, The little lugs come off so it still looks like regular watch. Huawei doesn't guarantee third-party strap compatibility, but you can purchase a separate fit link to be able to try, though I wasn't able to find it on Huawei's accessories site in the UK, that should be updated soon.

[@IvoNikolov333]

I currently have Amaze fit Pro3 which I've had for over one and a half years now and it is Great. After watching this review I am beginning to seriously consider the Fit3 but I have a Question which is: Does the Fit3 have One-Tap Measuring which is You choose the option then stand still for 45 seconds and gives You 4 Different Measurements namely: Hart Rate, Blood Oxygen, Stress Level and Breaths per minute?

[@tech_edit]

No, that was a great feature of the Amazefit. The Watch Fit 3 is smaller, lighter, feels more premium, and I prefer the interface, though maybe that's just because I've used a lot of Huawei Watches before. It doesn't have Amazefit's PAI or one tap measurement, but it does have all day auto monitoring (auto SPO2 and HR) so you don't necessarily need to take the reading as it's already done. Hope that was helpful! Basil

[@IvoNikolov333]

@tech_edit Thanks a million 😊 Just a Bonus Question if I can: Does it measure Blood Oxygen Level?

[@tech_edit]

@ivonikolov8709 yes, another term for blood oxygen is SPO2, and it measures that all day :)

Thanks two Million 😊@@tech_edit

I heard from another reviewer that the straps for Fit 2 are compatible with Fit 3. And you tell the opposite. Have you checked their compatibility?

[@tech_edit]

I'm going by what Huawei specifically told me in my product briefing. I haven't tried fitting Watch 2 straps. Hope that helps! Basil

[@Dean.Michael.Winchester]

Nope, it wont fit.. The "clip" on fit 2 is bigger than fit 3..

[@MaxusMV]

@@Dean.Michael.Winchester You’re right. I got my Fit 3 today. Strangely enough the straps for Fit 3 can be attached on Fit 2. But not the other way round.

[@memoktc]

Apple watch allows you to control the camera shutter on the phone...can i do the same with the Watch Fit 3?

[@tech_edit]

It depends on your brand of smartwatch, but unless you have a Huawei (or possibly Honor) phone, it's safe to just assume that you can't unfortunately. There is an app that supports it, Camera Opus, but it hasn't worked in my experience. Hope that helps! Basil

[@HZTK]

Great vid, can you use google map on it to guide you to a location?

[@tech_edit]

The turn-based notifications may come through on your watch once you set your destination on your phone and start navigation, but there's no official map integration for the watch itself.

[@chrischristopoulos1596]

I have the "raise to wake" setting enabled, and when I lift my wrist, the screen turns on. However, I have a problem after sleeping - when the watch is idle, and I wake up and raise my wrist, the screen doesn't turn on immediately. I have to move around for it to work. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

[@JudGaoilan]

same with me. Because of that i had to press the button for it to light up. Kinda annoying. 🥲

I’ve had the HUAWEI GT2 for nearly four years and I just love it. When I used it with an Android device I could upload songs onto it. Unfortunately, with my iPhone now I cannot do that. Something tells me this is the case with this watch, too….

Biggest issue with this watch is, does not have hiking mode (no altitude meter). And if you get multiple messages from one person, example viber, you will be able to see only last one. Smartwatch without calculator? Not even with additional apps? Few disappointments from me. People exaggerate and call it apple watch killer.....seriously.

[@alexnicorescu8972]

The Huawei fit 2 bands don't work with the 3? Look very similar

Problem recording pool laps. Misses laps intermittently or stops counting. The heart rate and time continues so I have that data but I have to count the laps. Really dissapointed. Open water is ok. Using the watch for 2 months.

[@tech_edit]

Gah, that's good insight and I'm really sorry to hear this. I'll ask Huawei if the GT5 series improves pool tracking over the Fit series as I'm working on those reviews at the moment.

[@Aslanalali]

I really love it and it's actually affordable

[@aeewardanee4848]

Ugh I wish it came in at least 40 mm in size, bcs this one seems too big for my wrist :'(

It measures 36mm x 43mm and is pretty light. Maybe cut out a piece of card with those dimensions and see? My mum who has very slender wrists found it to be okay.

What about the Huawei health app, which many users have indicated consumes a lot of battery power on their phones? Also, are the NFC function and voice assist available outside China?

[@MrRawUK]

I notice lots of review do not clearly talk about the fact you cannot install any apps on this. Unless things are in the Huawei fitness app then you cannot install apps. That's such a let down.
