Huawei Watch Fit 3: Almost an Apple Watch (Scientific Review)

[@mobilefun7837]

This scientific approach review , data analysis is the kind of review we want deep down inside aside from the usual specs reviews. The Quantified Scientist you are definitely our hope❤

[@TheQuantifiedScientist]

Glad you liked it!

[@reyz1984]

The Apple Watch is perfect for people who don't like to wear a watch, because it is more time on the charger than on the wrist.

[@usadabinpekora5841]

😂 nice one

[@shailferns8853]

I recently bought this and I couldn’t be happier, great stats, great battery life, no need for any 3rd party apps, sends me notifications as I define including when connected to car play. My Series 9 watch is now back in the box ready to be sold. This is now my daily watch!

[@breiderc]

Best decision ever, I had an Apple Watch Series 7 and just couldn't stand having to charge it almost every day! The Huawei Fit 3 is beautiful, useful and gives you 7 - 10 days of battery life. I couldn't be happier.

Thank you, i dont regret upgrade from Honor GS Pro to Huawei Watch 3 for Sport. Before i buy this watch, i confuse to choose coros pace 3 or garmin fr 165, but with the low cost and accuracy HR and GPS it's make me happy. I dont care about sleep tracking because when i sleep, i dont use watch. Eventhough fit 2 is better but i still choose fit 3 because a look and harmony os4.

[@claudiubarbu4372]

Hi Rob, I've just got my Fit 3 and I've compared it with the Fit 2 during some treadmill exercises. I've used the Fit 2 on my right hand and Fit 3 on left hand for the first 4 workout sessions and it turned that the Fit 2 was very very accurate. However, after switching them on hands and doing the same workout sessions, the Fit 3 was more precise than the Fit 2. I am right handed btw. Example for test: set treadmill to 4km/h, count 500 steps, stop and see results. With fit 3 (right handed): 497 steps, max pace 15'08"; fit 2 (left handed) 475, max pace 13'53" (which would be like 4.3km/h, and the treadmill was at 4km/h during the entire workout, so the Fit 2 was not very accurate). Well, when i switched bands, I've set the treadmill to 3km/h and counted 208 steps. Fit 3: max pace 18'31" (3km/h), 197 steps; Fit 2: max pace 18'31" (same as fit 3), 208 steps. So, I conclude that Fit 2 would have some problems detecting pace depending on the hand you're using, while Fit 3 would detect the pace very accurate on either of your hands. Regarding step accuracy, they are the same, it reads very accurate on your main hand, and there's a 5% deviation on the other hand. I think that would also affect other workout results as well.

[@TheQuantifiedScientist]

Thanks for sharing! Indeed, hands can make some difference (probably because of vasculature), very interesting!

[@PersonManManManMan]

Thank you so much for posting this, it was very useful information, if possible could you do some GPS tests?

Is the watch configured in app to be on either left or right?

Yesterday my trusted Huawei GT2’s screen came off after almost 4 years of everyday use and today I got the Huawei Watch Fit 3 for the ridiculous price of just 129€. So far… I LOVE IT. I don’t think I will be able to ever go back to a round watch.

[@TheKalmOne]

Would you recommend upgrading to the fit 3 if you have a working gt2?

[@GeorgeGiann]

@@TheKalmOne it is *absolutely* worth it but to be honest, if my GT2’s screen was fine, I wouldn’t have thought of upgrading.

[@Gabriel-ne4et]

Please do more Xiaomi devices. In my country (Brazil) Fitbit, whoop or Google are not accessible, so we end up using mostly Xiaomi and Xiaomi owned brands such as Redmi, Amazfit and Haylou. Thank you for such a high quality content!

[@goerame]

which one is better huawei watch fit 3 or GT4? for daily use and sleep? for GPS and heart monitoring?

[@Norbiiiwii]

I have a great Huawei Watch GT Runner, but I just bought the Huawei Watch Fit 3 and I love it. GT Runner and Watch Fit 3 do not always measure walking accurately. If I walk slowly around the room, it measures that I'm walking fast.

[@titorafi9719]

Do you have strava? have you tried syncing indoor workouts/runs to strava?

[@Norbiiiwii]

​@@titorafi9719Hi. Not. I walk in the room, indoor walk. If I walk slowly, the watch measures that I am walking fast.

[@klipklapklop3359]

saw an ad for this a few hours ago and decided to search up reviews and the smartwatch goat uploaded it

[@johnpaulconradcastillo1643]

This is the kind of review that is really transparent. No estimation just pure data. Subbed.

[@Tony_Jesher_07]

Just a suggestion if ever you do a full review on the Huawei Band 9 can you also do a re-evaluation on the Huawei Band 8. Compare how do they differ when it comes to tracking Spo2 and Heart Rate, which is more accurate and reliable. Since both devices received firmware update especially the Band 8 which received numerous updates.

[@uralmutlu4320]

I've been using this watch for 5 months now and I couldnt be happier. It does everything I need. I use it both indoors and outdoors and it helps me track my exercises. I even went on a week long holiday and I forgot the charging cable at home, so I turned the AOD off and I just about made it to the end of the week. Pretty good... It may not be as accurate as Apple watches, but it is definitely more practical.

[@jf-eo8qs]

my now new fave youtube channel!

[@Norbiiiwii]

Hello! Can you measure how accurate your SpO2 is with Watch Fit 3? I have the Watch Fit 3 and I thought the measurements were as accurate as the Fit 2, but the Fit 2 gave the heart rate measurement 5 stars. It's very kind of you to help people! Thank you very much for the video!

[@mihaiachim244]

I have a Fit 2 and I am happy with it. As I see, for me Fit 3 won't be an improvement. But watching all Rob's test, Fit2 or Fit3 are very good all-rounders. In top for hearth rate, precise step counters, quite good blood SPO2. On the other hand, they are crap on sleep analysys. The best overall are Apple watches. They are way more expensive, but let forget the money: 1 day battery life? C'mon guys.... So for me the best solution: a Fit2 + a dedicated sleep band in the same money like an Apple watch. You don't need to have the sleep tracker in the same device since you use it only in the night time.

[@exposed8674]

Because of the battery life I would never ever buy Apple Watch. I kill Apple Watch battery in half a day. Meanwhile my Huawei Watch GT4 is very accurate and the battery lasts forever. I use GPS daily for running plus 5 times a week training with continuous HR tracking and display always on. The battery easily lasts me a week.

[@GreenlifeFin]

Yes, definitely me too.

[@ZeDarkLord]

I bought the Watch Fit 2 about 6 months or so ago after watching a bunch of different reviews, and from heart-rate tracking perspective, through-out the day, it does absolutely amazing. It is a pretty good tracker, with a few smartwatch-esque features, like having the ability to take a call on the watch, able to see notifications, play songs from the watch, etc.

I don’t need sleep track as I have a cpap machine that tracks every night. Some of the watches have too much on them many things we don’t need or want. I don’t need messages on my wrist. Happy for your comments. ❤I have previously had two fit bit and my existing one does not track my heart rate . I will never ever purchase fit bit products. Two much tracking for my me personally. As they say each to their own. This watch looks fabulous.

Don’t get me wrong, my apple watch is amazing but it’s such a pain to constantly charge it. Personally, I think the fit 2 looks ugly but this one really caught my attention because it has a familiar design. It looks sleek and similar to the apple watch from a distance. So yeah.. I feel like this is a good alternative for me at half the price of an apple watch with BEAST BATERRY LIFE. I think its also worth it for the great heart tracking and GPS precision . Its enough for someone like me who does casual exercise like running n hiking. So yeah.. that’s my 'why.' I just don’t get why sleep tracking can be a deal breaker. I really don’t. at leastt to me. if terrible GPS and heart rate tracking, then that would be a total deal breaker for a smartwatch.

What we users require is a comprehensive chart showcasing the best watches available.

It would be beneficial to have an overall chart that displays the top-performing watches in each category and their respective rankings.

Huawei Watch Fit 3 is best price/quality ratio watch for Android users. Apple Watch SE2 is best price/quality ratio watch for IOS users.

I've bought it a few days ago and I can commit the GPS (the app) definitely does some post-processing and smooths the corners making it nicer, but on the other hand it steps away from the real path. I compared it to GPS tracking in my iPhone 13 mini. I wish I could turn off this feature, but as mentioned in the review, the GPS is accurate.
