What we don't like about Emporio Armani Smartwatch 3

  • Inconsistent battery life, often requiring nightly charging or lasting only a few hours with heavy use
  • Unreliable built-in GPS that frequently fails to acquire a signal without a paired phone

Verdict

The Emporio Armani Smartwatch 3 is a premium Wear OS wearable featuring a 1.28-inch AMOLED display (328 ppi) housed in a lightweight 44.5mm aluminium or stainless steel case. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage, it includes a built-in speaker for calls and Google Assistant, NFC for contactless payments, heart rate monitoring, and standalone GPS. Main pros include its exceptionally stylish, lightweight design, a diverse selection of bespoke Armani watch faces, and smooth performance for daily tasks. However, it suffers from notable cons such as poor battery life that rarely exceeds 24 hours, reported unreliability with standalone GPS tracking, and a high retail price compared to technically similar alternatives.
