I love the fact that this device is only R2999! It has EVERYTHING you want! Just not tap to pay - haha but for most people thats not a deal breaker
The one for R3499 has NFC and they said payments could come later.
Got one a few days ago. Very impressed - just as you said quality build, snappy UI, beautiful bright display. I can live without NFC for the sweet price. Battery life is insanely good ✌️
yeah it's a great watch!!👌What convinced you to get one?
I'm getting the black one today because of the price, battery life and also the ability to map any applications(timer) to the side button 👍
Yeah I really like that feature too, I have my workouts mapped to the action button! Enjoy your device, come back one day and leave a review comment! Would love to read it!👀👌
@@WeDoTech i have been playing with it for a solid 11 hours now and its the perfect fit for me. my needs are a simple straight forward AOD with timer function and also to receive notifications when out and about. i dont use any of the fitness stuff or sensors built in. initially i was going to go with a simple casio digital watch with timer but then i stumbled upon this huawei with great battery life compared to most smart wahtches that only lasts a day or two which is why i held off for so long to get one. this watch is very comfortable on my wrist and its easy to find just the right fit with the classic buckle system. the low profile and lightweight makes it very little noticeable in everyday life. the only negative is the vibration motor which is weak even on the highest strenght but it helps alot with the speaker going at the same time. but then again concidering the price i feel like i got alot for my money. i give the full experience a solid 8.1 out of 10.
Dang! This might be my first smartwatch now! Seems like a really premium item, without the premium price
exactly! VERY premium device, without a premium price - if i was looking for a new smartwatch and my budget was around 100-200 usd i would get this one
Yeah it really has everything you need, almost everything but the premium feel and design will make a the difference!👌
I hyave the GT4 and I am planning to get this. I'll keep the GT4 as a dressy watch, and this one as my main fitness monitor. I love Huawei. Also for the fact that, unlike Fitbit and Apple, they have so many health offerings right there in the app, at no extra cost. Plus their version of Relive (Dynamic Tracking) is the icing on the cake. Another perk at no extra cost, for those who, like me, after they finish a run, or cycle or hike, whatever, wanna watch it back.
SO true, the extra health features and tips and trick with very comprehensive explanations and detailed reports about exercises are invaluable add on's
That battery life! That is a game changer.
My samsung watch makes just about a day and a half.
its so crazy to think huawei can make their watches last for 10 days but apple and samsung struggle to give us one full day
I bring a 10 euro note in my runshorts. when I go out for a run. But I never use it. I do the run and never make a pitstop, I always run back home.
Great comment and 100% true thanks
but...what if....one day...you need 15 euro...😅👀
You mentioned you’d stick to the Apple Watch or the GT4 … doesn’t the GT4 have a payment option ??
Yeah I would stick with my Apple watch, the GT4 does have a payment option but it's not available in my country.
Possible save wayponts?
I don't think it's possible to save wave points but the High Precision GPS has a way back feature to help you track the route you just used. It's not the same way points save but it helps a lot!
Can you run strava on this watch ?
Yeah you can connect the watch to the Strava app!👌🎉
Nfc is available only in nylon and leather strap version
Yeah, I Thought so too initially, but unfortunately, due to regulation issues Huawei isn't allowed to have NFC activated on the watches outside of Mainland China. So for some people when you just get your watch and set it up, it might look like you have NFC but then as soon as the watch firmware updates it goes away. Maybe in the future we might still get access to NFC though! Let's be hopeful!
@@WeDoTech yes im guessing the same that all of them have same hardware just disabled by firmware. Im in vietnam ppl are using nfc to unlock door locks but haven't seen anybody pay contactless.
@@zombieryder this is crazy! In South Africa most people dont use nfc at all
Yes they must put nfc on
If they do, this watch will become unstoppable!
Will they have updates???
Yeah sure, definitey!👌
Huawei watch fit 3 has nfc variant
Yeah it does but it's only available in Chinese markets
Add ECG feature I'm sold. Rest of current feature is dope
Ecg is cool, ive had it on my apple watch for years - tbh, i only used it in the first week or 2 cause i thought is was cool. But thereafter never really thought if it again. I know a friend of mine who uses the huawei watch gt4 and its ecg feature actually notified him to go see a dr which saved his life!
@@WeDoTech Thanks for the sharing your friend's experience. I'll consider this instead. It's a life saver for me.
I have Apple Watch Series 9 over a year and I used the ECG only once (just to try). The double punch is another feature I never used (too buggy). I just end up using most of the time to see who’s calling and answer in my phone. That’s all!
They forgot to put NFC in? Maybe research that up it wasn't forgotten it's not supported for various reasons, I totally agree and would love this but there's reasons why.
Yeah, I know but it just feels like they forgot about giving the rest of the world NFC, it's such an important factor in wearables these days, the only reason that it can be that NFC may not be there is that they forgot to put it in?
@@WeDoTech They haven't forgot let me help you out, Huawei is banned in US and UK/EU banks are not supported with Huawei for political reasons, FIT3 there is NFC capability because it's being used right now In mainland China ONLY, people are creating this Fantasyland it works with the grey band it doesn't all FIT3 has NFC but it's hidden by the firmware update, my prediction is we will see NFC on Huawei wearable one day but ONLY through a 3rd party app like Curve where Curve works on Huawei phones in UK/EU but not yet Wearables, on the other hand if you live in the US forget it. Currently NFC works on phones through 3rd party so why not wearable? It will happen but only through 3rd party app.
NFC is present in grey variant

Why don't you just bring cash with you. Doesn't have to be the full wallet bulk. NFC not a deal breaker. Bezels complaint is also not so important for me.
However, what is a deal breaker for me are 2 things:
1) if the watch cannot pair with an external heart rate sensor. I do interval trainings, and HR on wrist-based not as accurate as arm or chest straps.
2) GPS accuracy - comparison of distance/pace vs. say your apple watch
It would be great you demo these fitness-specific features, i'm sure most of your viewers who run or do heart-based training will appreciate the information
Cash is the solution but the extra step to get some cash in hand will, for some, myself included, be somewhat of a hassle and a watch with NFC is very convenient.
Regarding the GPS accuracy, I've actually compared the Huawei GT4 watch with my Apple watch series 8 and the GT4 is hands down more accurate than the Apple, over consecutive runs. The GT4 is not the Huawei Fit3 tough and the GT4 is equipped with a GPS and the fit3 is not...but will do a comparison shortly so I'll let you know!👌
It has NFC only the white and grey version!
unfortunatly all the huawei watch fit 3's have the nfc chip inside them however due to regulation issues Huawei isnt allowed to have NFC activated on the watches outside of Mainland China. So for some people when you just get your watch and set it up, it might look like you have NFC but then as soon as the watch firmware updates it goes away. Maybe in the future we might still get access to NFC though! Let's be hopeful!
@@WeDoTech wait, ALL the version of the watch have nfc chip? just deactivated?
@@erroruine yeah, that’s what my sources said - i mean, all the versions of the watch cost exactly the same, so i would believe that all of them have the same internals too
If it supports NFC payments it is very useful
Yeah in some regions they do...just not in the one I live in!!
Its unbelievable that such smartwatch does not have hiking option and altimeter.
So many apps and options, but you dont have calculator.
People compare it with apple watch but you cant type message, only short answers.
I dont know about you but i dont send texts with my watch haha but you are right at only 20% the price of an apple watch you cant expect it to do EVERYTHING the apple watch can do
@@WeDoTech typing short message to sender when you dont have your phone near (for example while doing some exercise) is great thing, and most of the time you cannot do it with short reply. Many review videos say that this is Apple watch killer, but a smartwatch in 2024 could and should have qwerty keyboard.
But ok, lets say this thing is not important, missing altimeter is really bad thing. Watch is fitness and outdoor oriented, includes all kind of sports, but is missing the most important ones which include measuring altitude. My old GT had this 4 years ago for the same price.
Another minus from me are messed notifications. If one person sends you few messages (lets say in messenger), all of them will appear as notification, but only last one will stay in your watch. In addition, if you read it, notification is lost from watch. My old WATCH GT had all notifications staying for whole day, or until i delete them.
You have up to 10 available apps for download, most of them are paid and dont work properly. They have sync issues.
@@WeDoTech exactly! Never understood people who said they want to reply texts and answer calls from their wrists, Me, all I want is a good health tracker.
Apple Watch probably has worst notification feature. I never used it to reply from watch, it’s always from phone. I realise, most features you initially get excited about looses its charm within few days and you realise you spend most days frustrated because your watch went off due to low charge (it needs charge every single day).
@@kennyzraht5804 Ok, if you have such hard time to understand, try to picture this situation (it should be fairly easy): My fitness trainer is very busy man (with all the clients). During the training session with a person, in gym outfit, and with cell phone in locker room, someone sends important message about delayed training, shifted session...or literally anything else. Instead of aborting training, going to locker room and type on the cell phone, he spends 10 seconds without moving 1meter and inputs any type of personalized message (or even answers important call). The same principle applies to me too, during workout or something else. Here is another scenario which should be easy to picture. Not all people have bluetooth in car, and when someone calls you during driving, basically, smartwatch does what car bluetooth does, helps you answer the call with much better quality...while still holding your both hands on the wheel. I am sure there are plenty more situations which you can picture in order to understand other people.
Can you txt or reply to message as normal
It has nfc. The red crown
i Thought so too initially, unfortunately, due to regulation issues Huawei isn't allowed to have NFC activated on the watches outside of Mainland China. So for some people when you just get your watch and set it up, it might look like you have NFC but then as soon as the watch firmware updates it goes away. Maybe in the future we might still get access to NFC though! Let's be hopeful!
@@WeDoTechThe one for R3499 has NFC. The Grey nylon strap and white leather strap only. It's for the OneHop feature and payment to possibly come later.
No play store is also a no no
what would you use the playstore for in, your case?
