Third-party reviews

What we like about Huawei Watch D3

  • Wrist cuff measures blood pressure without a separate monitor.
  • Automatic 24-hour checks catch high readings that appear at night.
  • The 3000 nits screen stays readable in strong sunlight.
  • Wireless charging reaches a full charge in 75 min.
  • ECG and irregular heart rate warnings keep an eye on the heart.
  • Sleep stage breakdown gives a clear view of a night's rest.

What we don't like about Huawei Watch D3

  • Battery drops to about a day with the 24-hour blood pressure checks running.
  • Swimming and showers are out, because the cuff is only splash-proof.
  • The strap is thick and the case is 11.3 mm, so it looks bulky on a slim wrist.
  • It stops working below 5 °C, so cold outdoor use is ruled out.
  • NFC payments need a separate Curve Pay setup and vary by region.

Verdict

Blood pressure at the wrist is what sets the Huawei Watch D3 apart. Its wrist cuff inflates inside the strap, so it takes readings much like an arm monitor, and it checks your pressure day and night. The screen reaches 3000 nits and is easy to read in strong sun, and the watch charges wirelessly, with a charge time of 75 min. It records ECG and sleep stages, and has 64 GB of storage. The trade-off is size and battery: the strap is thick, the case is 11.3 mm, and with the 24-hour checks the battery drops to about a day. Swimming is out, since the cuff is only splash-proof. It suits someone who wants to keep an eye on blood pressure at home and has no plans to swim or track long workouts.
