27:38 Final Thoughts
Intro: The watch comes in two sizes, the larger 46 mm GT 3 Pro with a 1.43 inch display, and a 43 mm version with a 1.32 inch display. HUAWEI sent me two versions to test, the 46mm version with the rubbery/plasticky straps and this more feminine ceramic 43 mm version. Both versions have the same sensor, but the battery life of the smaller version is rated at 7 days with normal usage, whereas the larger version is said to last 14 days. The larger version of the GT3 Pro will set you back at least 369 euros, whereas the 43 mm ceramic version comes the most expensive version at 549 euros. Compare this to current prices between roughly 199 and 249 euros for the non-pro version of the same watch. This means that the pro version is at least 170 euros more expensive than the non-pro version. On the back are the heart rate and oxygen saturation sensors, which are significantly better than those in the GT 2 series, as we saw in previous tests. On the right side of the Watch is one electrode of the ECG sensor, and on the bottom is the other one. By touching the sensor on the side of the watch with a finger of your other arm, you complete the circuit, and the watch is able to detect the electrical activity of your heart. The aim of the ECG sensor is to potentially detect specific issues you might have with your heart, such as atrial fibrillation, similar to what for instance the Apple Watch and Withings Scanwatch check. However, it is important to note that this should never be considered a medical device, and always have your heart checked by a medical professional if you suspect something is wrong. Also, the ECG functionality of the Watch is not yet available to the public, and HUAWEI told me it should be released at an unspecified time in the future. What I show here is a beta version of the app, and what the heart issues the watch scans for in the final version might change. Before getting to the results, two things to note are that the Watch is also suitable for both diving and golfing, given that it has maps for golfing pre-loaded and it is rated for free diving up to 30 meters.
Conclusions:
In terms of health and sports tracking there are a lot of things to love about the Huawei Watch GT3 Pro. Based on my testing, I find that the heart rate tracking is the best you can get on Android, and only the Apple Watch does ever so slightly better. The oxygen saturation sensor also appears to be able to detect when you have a low oxygen saturation, which is really good. The step counting is also not bad at all, and the GPS tracking is OK, though there are better watches out there for this. The sleep stage tracking is not something I would rely on, and I would only focus on the total time spent in bed. - Věda a technologie

waiting for Watch FIT 2 video
waiting for Huawei watch D video (That can measure blood pressure)
So no blood pressure data?
it would be great if you also test watches after os updates because of algorithm changes could get better or get worse. in case of sleep tracking I hope it would be improved. anyway thank you for hard work and best reviews of whole internet) ❤
I just have to say what an amazing reviewer you are. You are the ONLY one that has accuracy/propper data to show, rather than just browsing through what the watch has to offer and subjective feeling about them. You deserve way more subs and I hope you keep doing what you do! Keep winning ma dude!
Huawei, if you are watching this. Please step up the sleep tracking. With that too fixed, this watch will become THE Android smartwatch to buy
Totally agreed 👍🏼
Agree
We need to add that almost none of wearables is able to have a useful sleep tracking. It's the greatest surprise when one of those shows an OK sleep tracking. Which why I gave up to consider that feature at all.
My huawei band 4 tracks sleep even if the device is just lying on my table. I wonder who's "sleep" that device is tracking hahaha
I dont see this as android watch as they dont have google appstore
If there was a public choice most valuable CZcamsr award, know that I'd vote for you.
Dear Dr. Rob, you are doing exceptionally great in these reviews. The statistical data and the analysis you provide are astonishing. Wish you more success.
Love your work!! Thank you so much reviewing smart watch and their capabilities! I’m currently using Whoop 4.0 and looking for a watch to replace it due to the costly monthly membership. Your reviews are super helpful.
Thank you for the superb video! Such a nice surprise to see you got to test the GT3 Pro so early.
Now this is what you call a proper technical review, subscribed!
You are genius tester for electronic device without too marketing. This testing data will give consumers a great insight before the purchasing. Thank you!
Amazing work.
Brands should pay you for doing these reviews.
Hey Rob! Thank you very much for your AMAZING review and work put on it. I was about to buy a Samsung Watch 5, and after watching your videos I learned a lot about these watches and opted for this Huawei. I feel like I dodged a bullet. Thank you very much! Greetings from Brazil.
Thank you very much for your work! In the last update of the GT3 Pro they activated the ECG functionality in all the devices. I await your video because I have cardiac irregularities and it is an interesting topic for me. Cheers !
😅 Can't get over your thorough methodology and the comparisons you make to watches in the same range and overall comparison with all watches you tested the same features on...subscribed to you across all platforms you're on!
Incredible reviews, I wish more technical products receive this kind of review treatment. There's nothing better than controlled testing and this much data collection is much needed work. First parties (like Huawei here) should have their own internal testing released and third parties like yourself can verify it if needed.
Wow Rob, new subscriber here. Hit the subscription button after the first 4-5 minutes of the review. This high standard of yours should be the norm when it comes to reviews, what an awesome and thorough proper job you're doing, keep it up! 😎
Amazing in-depth review. Keep up the good work!
Hi, great video as always. I would like to suggest that you review the Huawei watch D because it has a blood pressure reading ability and Im sure many people would love to know how accurate it is. Thanks.
As always, a great in-depth review
The brands are finally having the courage to send you their devices. This is milestone that you've achieved, so I guess congrats are in order! :D If this becomes standard, you'll be quite busy reviewing loads of health/fitness tech, eheheh.
Another great video, I have a Fenix 6x Pro and I'm a crazy person that's considering getting the GT3 Pro for the other wrist (and maybe a Whoop 4 to use on... my ankle? Eheh). Thanks, Rob!
This is possible if you have self confidence on your device. Huawei proved themselves in heart rate tracking with the previous devices, GT3 and GT Runner. So they are brave enough to lend Rob GT3 Pro. Still it needs improvement in sleep tracking, a feature they neglected a couple of generations. I think similar about Whoop 4. What makes it unique, it can be worn on different parts of the body. They even designed underpants to attached it. I guess I wouldn’t wear on the other wrist, don’t wanna look like a weirdo 😅 But I will wait for Whoop 5 anyway. They are good at sleep tracking but not as good in heart rate tracking in Rob’s reviews.
Thanks so much for noticing! This is indeed the first time I received a watch before official release :-D
@@TheQuantifiedScientist PLEASE review the Xiaomi watch S1!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
would be better if we can be sure that the one they send you to test is the same one we can buy in the market. im reallypissed about brands who cheats.
Thank you for the very in-depth review
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Another great and informative video. Many thanks for all your effort.
I've never clicked faster in my entire life, almost broke my spine, my arms, my phone, my house. Been waiting for this one for quite some time!
Lmao
Rob, nice as always! Thanks for the nice content!
Could you do a new review of the watch, now, after one year, to see how it performs after the new updates? (I'm very interested if the sleep tracking has been improved) Thanks. Good stuff you're doing here, keep up the good work! 👍
I watched a lot of videos but after watching yours I am sold, I will buy the GT 3 Pro.
As always, thank you for the great content.
Wow super impressive you're the first reviewer I've seen compare the watch answers to an actual medical device very important to me to see these real-world tests Bravo,👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽you fine sir have earned a new subscriber and 👍🏼
Great review as always! thank you.
Thanks George!
Thank you so much for the quality of the review and all of your efforts! I finally decided, after hours of browsing your videos, to get myself one of these. Very happy with my choice and can't wait to receive it in a few days! :)
Amazing review, just as always!
I wonder if GT3 performance improved after a recent update and if it is similar to GT3 Pro now
GT3 and GT3 Pro have exactly the same sensors so performance should be the same when it comes to workout or sleep tracking.
Wow. Amazing effort
So smartwatches add newer and newer health features every year. ECG was already introduced by other brands a few years ago. GT3 and GT3 Pro can measure skin temperature, too. This is also a good metric worth comparing with a reference device. I have a request from you Rob. In the coming videos, can you also mention tracking frequency of the device on specific health metrics ? First of all, not all smartwatches offer continuous tracking. And if they do, they offer it with a specific frequency. For example, as a GT3 user, I can say that GT3 tracks heart rate, blood oxygen and skin temperature 7/24. But it tracks heart rate every 1 minute, blood oxygen every 10 minutes as long as your hand is still and skin temperature every 1 hour. I wonder if these frequencies changed with GT3 Pro. Tracking frequency is an valuable information that you usually don’t find in the device specs and you can only find it out after using it.
Nice job! Very insightful video.
If they are able to come up with world class products despite the crippling sanctions, they are nothing short of awesome!
I hope you reach 1million subscriber before the year ends. You truly deserve so much!
This is the type of unbiased review you need. Are you a data scientist ?
Amazing Channel. Great work!!
Gt3 pro is thinner and more comfort to wear than my gt2 pro.
When running on treadmill, compare with my Polar H10 heart beat it is within 1 pulse diff (probably time lap).
I bought it for measuring ECG, it is ok after first firmware upgrade.
Is there any bug issue till today?
I would like a watch which looks great on my hand but also performs very well on sports activities. What would you choose considering this perspective between Huawei GT3 pro, Huawei GT runner and Garmin Venu 2 plus? Thanks and by the way since I discovered you I watched so many of your videos…absolutely great work 💪💪💪
Thanks for the great work you are doing
My pleasure Manish!
Excellent video and a lot of great analysis...
Great review... thanks for your time
As some Data Analysts say, around 50% along diagonal of matrix with multiclass classifier with 4 classes is not that bad, you can look at these numbers, with some awareness of confidence intervals
Thank You for the review, it's the reason why I bought it :) The list helped me a lot with the decision. Keep it up and continue with creating a great content :D
simply amazing, I bought one because of this video
Many thanks for your brilliant reviews! Did I get it right that gt 3, gt runner and gt 3 pro all have the same optical sensor? If it is true, they should all give similar precision in heart rate and ox saturation measurements. Howether, from your tests it is clearly seen that gt pro is more accurate that gt runner, while gt runner is more accurate than gt 3. Do you have any ideas abour why it happens? Can it be due to firmware differences?
Thanks for this nice scientific explanation, I waiting for my pre-order Huawei watch gt 3pro 😄
BEST TEST...very interesting ... objective and accurate... gratulations.. GREETINGS FROM POLAND ...😀👍🇵🇱
Enjoying your evaluation immensely! Please let me know if you have more ECG results on this watch or others. I am looking to buy one immediately. Thanks and more power to you!
happy to know company start send u product to test not like other just do polish review wish to see u grow bigger with ur channel
Thanks for the review. ^^
There's no mention of how it performs for swimming in your review. Except I missed it. It would be great to have that. You give great and detailed reviews by the way. My aim of watching this is to hear your thoughts on it for swimming
Great value in your reviews. Sad there is not yet an all in one wearable. I'm guessing soon.
Subbed! Keep up the good work!
Hi Rob,
Thanks for your great review.
How the GPS of the Pro compares please to the Runner?
I've compared the Runner with AW7 and I don't get the same distance.
Best
thank you this was super helpful
Super your tests !
When will be your Huawei Watch 4 test ?
Top quality, best reviewer!
very well done. thank you.
Thank you!!
Thanks for this very well detailed review. A CZcams channel where the captors of smartwatch are tested need to exist. Thanks !
Thank you for the videos!! I cant decide to buy this watch... or an apple watch. The fact i cant use spotify with huawei sucks but it looks so good!
Thank you for the great review. One question I have: can you use this watch with polat h10? And can the watch use the GPS from the mobile phone, like a fitbit would? Because the watch alone can last just 3h with GPS. Thanks
Hi, I bought a huawei Watch GT3 recently and noticed it had tons of Sports mode. I wonder if it really matters you pick the right sport mode for sport tracking . For instance, the bike mode looks like the same as running or walking.
Interesting to see the Huawei Watch 3 or 3 Pro versions, if they are packing different hardware/software and what are theyr results.
Update:. Strava and Adidas integration have been added in health app.
Now you can export gps tracks Details too of the hiking
thank you very much!
Fantastic test. And cool to see that you actually live in Vienna :-)
Would love to see you review the capabilities of the Huawei Watch D especially the blood pressure monitor.
Yes, that would be great indeed. Huawei is releasing a lot of interesting devices nowadays.
I own a GT2 and last week I bought a GT3 pro and was inspired by your videos so today I used both of them during my 3h mountainbike tour simultaneously on the right and another on my left wrist. Each time I checked my wrists the heart rates were same or very similar. Strangely on the GT3 you reach the stages (aerob, anearob etc.) with the lower hear rate. The GT2 requires around 5-10 heart rates more for the next stage but as I said the heart rates were quite similar. At the end of the training one gave me a average heart rate of 149 and the other 151 and the curves, which I only checked on the watch screen seemed to be identical as well. Maybe GT2 already was a GREAT device for hart rate measurement which needs its own analysis by you :) And before I forgot it there was huge difference between the max and min. height I have reached.i don't remember exactly but one watch was telling something like 300m of maximum height whereas the other added at least 200m more and telling something around 500m. If interested I could send you the data on my huawei health app.
Did you ever try the blood pressure feature? I dont mean the ECG
he is not really interested in opinions, suggestions,questions is my experience
Any bug issue till now?
You're the most favourite CZcams channel for me for scientific tests and I doubt if there are others who do something similar. I loved the review.
If I may suggest, the heart rate light flashing was a little harsh for the eyes to see so if you could tone down and make it darker with exposure or something that would be relatively less painful to see and it kept flashing quite a bit during the video. I understand b roll but I just want the lights to be not so bright.
Thank you!
Best smart watch reviewer on youtube.
So nice review ! GOD bless you !
It measure blood preasure ?
Thank you
@Rob, when you tested the stepcounts was the gt3 pro connected to huawei health app ? if so, the smartphone does the counting and it sends the counts to the smartwatch only to dispkay it ? or does the smartphone as well as the watch count independently and average the values??
Thanks for videos....Waiting review for Garmin Venu 2 plus.
BRAVO for this detailed test, one of the most detailed I have seen so far. ;-)
However, I think it would also have been good to mention among these "defects" the fact that this GT/GT PRO range does not offer airplane mode nor ANY WAY to turn off the Bluetooth while continuing to use it, which is annoying in an air or we are already bathed in too much EMF waves.
and for athletes with break time (fitness) I find that 5 minutes is far too much as a minimum suggested between each break! forced to juggle with the timer started separately to have less than 5min (the same is not customizable we go from 1min to 3min) at this level an m430 polar is much better for time management!
Thank you. It was the best watch review I wanted. I guess I will buy it just because of Ecg
Rob ,you should be reviewing Cell phone, you are the only one who makes sense in reviewing every item in CZcams.
Wow. Didn't know GT3 Pro included ECG. Now I'm getting my news and promo from your channel 😁. I didn't know this info from the news
Happy to help S F! 😊
Amazing vídeo .... Thank you
Looking forward to your review of Garmin Forerunner 255 if you are able to get it! GT3 Pro is still in my consideration but Garmin is pretty attractive.
I just discovered your channel and I loved it. Already suscribed. I would love to see a review on the new Xiaomi Watch S1 and S1 active
I own a GT3 in the US and feel Huawei makes the best smartwatch products for what I care about. Bought mine off of eBay and had to create my Huawei ID using a VPN to get access to all of the features in the store. I haven't had any issues with the app, app store, or the watch itself. I don't use GPS, only care about total sleep tracked vs the stages, wanted a great HR tracker, and did not want to charge a watch every day or couple of days. While tracking roughly .5 - 1.5 hrs of workouts each day, I still get between 10-12 days of battery life. I came from a Charge 2 and did not like fitbits move to a subscription service.
The only downside to my GT3 is the screen glass being scratched so easily. The premium build of the Pro version would be the only thing I would switch over for.
That's true. My friend owns a GT2 and I own the GT2 Pro. After a year of usage the titanium body and sapphire screen really makes a huge difference.
You may want to switch to the pro edition in the future
That was informative ... i am on fitbit charge 2 for 5 years without taking it off except charging it while showering. And i am planning to get GT3 pro for battery long life usage. May I ask if the sleeping accuracy is satisfactory as fitbit charge 2? Thanks in advance
@@gheithyan7174 I can only speak as a GT2 Pro user, but for me it is more than enough. As said in the video, it knows when you fall asleep and wake up and usually to the minute. When I wake up it gives me a sleep score and I have to say if I slept well (woke up and didn't feel tired) it gave me a higher sleep score, so for me that's more than enough. And I can only imagine that the GT3 Pro is even better.

Please review the new Huawei Watch D whenever you have time. Great work!!
You are amazing. Keep going 👍
Amazing review. The best I ever watched! Specially the heart rate test. Very accurate and very clearly stated. Congratulations!
Great video as usual, thanks!
Soooo... Will you have me shift from Garmin to Huawei? If they only did a watch with a transflective screen and a physical raised bazels.... 😁
Do you know about the huawei watch D? Can you compare it with the samsung watch 5? You know the imc or bmi or ecg function... Thanks for your videos.
Thanks for this amazing review. I would like to ask you about gps accuracy test. I wonder that how did you record your gps signal with google maps? I meant the route of your foot steps. Moreover, Was your cell phone with you during the test?
Díky!
Thanks so much Jan!
Can you please do an updated video with the current software and firmware version to see if sleep tracking is better?
Hello, how did you get the ECG function to work? I have the health beta version and still nothing..... Thank you and great review
Does the watch give the recovery time and is it possible to connect a cardio belt to the watch, thank you.
I have Huawie Watch GT 2 for 2 years now and it was awesome , now i want to upgrade and i'm confused between Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro and Amazfit GTR 3 Pro, i saw your review about Amazfit GTR 3 and i didn't like it but i saw many reviews about Pro version and they say it's good but i wish you make review for it to see how it's accurate
Thanks for the great content. I would love to hear what you think of the LIGE smart watches that have recently been released? They are in the cheap category, but are they cheap ok/good or cheap don't bother? Also, I am really interested in hearing more about the potential releases of the continuous glucose monitoring watches ( no needle prick) that are apparently coming out soon, I believe that Huawei and Garmin have mentioned something about this.
What about HR for swimming with any of the devices with real-time display?
Polar H-10 chest strap is not very functional for swimming, and the Polar Verity Sense on your swim goggles is an option but without real time output while swimming laps or open water.
Wait bro congrats on 100K subs btw
Impressive test. Tx
Which watch would you choose (GT 3 Pro or Watch 3 Pro New)? And thanks for this video.
