Verdict

The Huawei Watch Fit 3 is a lightweight smartwatch weighing approximately 26g with a slim 9.9mm aluminum alloy body and a prominent 1.82-inch AMOLED display reaching 1,500 nits peak brightness. It features a new square design with a 77.4% screen-to-body ratio, a rotating crown for navigation, and built-in GPS with support for over 100 workout modes and 5ATM water resistance. Main pros include its exceptional battery life of up to 10 days, a vibrant high-resolution screen, and broad compatibility with both iOS and Android devices. Notable cons include the lack of NFC for contactless payments, a limited third-party app ecosystem, and the absence of advanced health sensors like ECG or a thermometer.
