I believe that more and more people in their daily work and life choose smart watches/bracelet products to replace the habit of wearing traditional watches in the past. Because nowadays, smart wearable products are becoming more and more practical and easy to use, bringing more convenience and comfort to our working life.
Recently, Honor officially released its new smart wearable device: Honor Watch GS 3. After the first time to experience, I would like to share with you some of the feelings brought by this product.
Simple and refined, more easily integrated into multiple scenes
Smart watch products nowadays have two forms, one is square and the other is round. The round shape is more pleasing to many consumers, because it is more like the daily wear of traditional watches. For Honor watch products, it has also always been a round design priority. Before I also got started with the Honor watch GS Pro, which is also a circular design, very pleasing.
The Honor watch GS 3 is different in that its exterior design tends to be more versatile. The Honor Watch GS Pro is a relatively sporty style with angular edges. This time, the Honor watch GS 3 is a more rounded and exquisite fashion design.
The Honor Watch GS 3 has a three-themed design, and the one I got started with is the Racing Pioneer version. On the dial, a 3D thin curved glass is used. The rounded edge design and curved frame give the overall smoother, more comfortable and refined visual sense. The flowing classic version of the frame also uses a four-layer real gold coating process, which further improves the gloss and abrasion resistance of the rose gold frame.
It is equipped with a 1.43-inch AMOLED screen, combined with the racing pioneer theme customized a dial interface derived from the supercar meter, when you have enough exercise in a day, the supercar instrument will also fill the red, highlighting an extra sense of speed and power.
On the right side of the watch frame is equipped with two raised crown buttons, one is the function menu button and the other is a customizable quick function button. This design also makes it more like the style of traditional watches, which more people like.
However, the two crown buttons of the Honor watch GS 3 are designed to press interactions, and do not give the function of rotation adjustment. If the crown button can give simultaneous pressing and rotation interaction, it will be more convenient to use daily.
On the other hand, the Racing Pioneer version of the strap is made of soft silicone and has a delicate skin-like coating on it, which makes it feel more gentle and comfortable to wear. And such a strap is also more waterproof in daily life, and it is easier to use. The other two straps are made of Nappa's first calf leather as the strap material, which is stylish and exquisite.
Of course, the strap of the Honor watch GS 3 is also a quick-release design, and you can also choose to match and replace different straps according to personal preferences.
In terms of appearance, the Honor watch GS 3 gives a rounded and exquisite visual experience. Such a design makes it cope with the wear of different scenes of daily work and life. Whether it is a business office, a life and leisure, or a sports exploration, it can be easily integrated into it. This is the charm of the design aesthetic.
Enhanced performance for ultimate comfort
The exquisite sense of appearance makes the Honor Watch GS 3 bring a good first impression to get started, and in the actual experience, the performance upgrade performance of this time is also easy to perceive.
As a smart watch, one of the reasons why many people choose is to provide their daily monitoring of heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep and other data, which can give a more intuitive health reminder and care. After all, everyone is busy these days, and they should pay more attention to their physical health. The Honor Watch GS 3 is equipped with an 8-channel heart rate AI engine, which is faster and more accurate than the previous smart watch 4-channel data monitoring.
In the wearing of this period of time, it can be clearly perceived that in the measurement of heart rate, blood oxygen and other data, the Honor Watch GS 3 is faster. Like blood oxygen measurement, in the past, other smart watches needed to wait about 1 minute while turning on the measurement. On the Honor watch GS 3, the measurement result can be given by opening the measurement for about 30 seconds. And blood oxygen and heart rate, on the Honor watch GS 3, support 24/7 continuous monitoring. When the data is abnormal, it will give a reminder, which can also make us pay more attention to our health status in a more timely manner.
The 8-channel heart rate AI engine combined with HONOR Health 5.0 technology, the combination of software and hardware allows the Honor Watch GS 3 to have a better performance in the monitoring of health data, and the official data accuracy rate is as high as 97% at 10bpm, which is comparable to the accurate monitoring ability of the heart rate belt. As a daily auxiliary monitoring and reminder device, it also gives more peace of mind. And the Honor Watch GS 3 supports all-weather continuous monitoring, whether it is daily work life or exercise, can give timely feedback.
In addition, in the sports recording mode, the Honor watch GS 3 also gives a rich enough choice. In addition to the regular modes such as running courses, indoor and outdoor running and cycling, elliptical machines, rowing machines, etc., there are also niche project modes such as skiing, mountaineering, cross-country, and triathlon, which are really rich. Even in the subsequent OTA upgrade, the Honor Watch GS 3 will also support mode statistics such as skipping rope, which can reach 104 sports modes. Basically, the data recording feedback tool used daily as a sports exercise is completely sufficient.
At the same time, the Honor watch GS 3 also provides more accurate GPS track recording for outdoor sports. It is equipped with a dual-band GPS chip and supports five major satellite positioning systems, which can be used for faster star search positioning and achieve higher precision trajectory recording on outdoor sports records.
For different local roads and terrain, the Honor watch GS 3 can give a more accurate trajectory. At the same time, it also provides a trajectory return function, even if you go out to explore without a mobile phone, you can also give a safe guide. This is also a very useful feature for users who like to explore outdoor sports.
For stronger performance, some people may be concerned about the battery life problem, after all, as a smart wearable device, if you have to charge it regularly every day, the experience will be greatly reduced.
However, in terms of battery life, honor watches have always done quite well, which does not need to be worried. Before the Honor watch GS Pro, there has been a very good experience. On the Honor watch GS 3 this time, its endurance still reaches the top level of 14 days, of course, this is the official data.
In the actual experience, it should be worn daily, all-weather health data monitoring records, exercise data records, call message push reminders and other functions, and its endurance is also about 10 days. This performance is also the level of the first echelon of smart watches at present.
With such an actual endurance performance, it brings a very relaxed feeling in daily wear. Because you don't have to come home every day and remember to charge your watch. Basically, once a week, it's enough.
And the Honor Watch GS 3 is equipped with fast charging on charging, and the 0-100% charging time only takes 55 minutes. Under daily circumstances, the basic low battery to replenish, there is a half hour or so, you can support the use of several days. This kind of experience is also a point that I personally prefer.
Intelligent linkage brings more ease and efficiency
In addition to stronger performance and endurance performance, this honor watch GS 3 is also more comprehensive in the corresponding functional configuration.
On the one hand, it has more adaptable third-party applications, which can give us more assistance in life, more than a simple phone message push reminder. Commonly used third-party apps such as Baidu Maps, AutoNavi Maps, Airline Travel Vertical, Tick List, Alipay, etc., also support the installation of the Honor Watch GS 3, bringing independent use support. There are even some casual mini-games that provide more entertainment and relaxation support.
With the Maps app, you don't have to hold your phone in your hand all the time while navigating. When the phone's map app starts to navigate, it will automatically sync to the display on the watch side. At this time, only the watch is needed, and real-time navigation guidance can be realized. And tick lists are apps I use every day to check the agency plan. The adaptation on the watch can also make it easy for me to quickly view the agency items on it at any time, at a glance.
In addition, the Honor Watch GS 3 also supports push reminder viewing of email, flight, meeting notifications and other functions, bringing more efficient work and life assistance.
On the other hand, the Honor Watch GS 3 as an auxiliary to the mobile phone, support for Bluetooth calling function is also my most commonly used point in daily life. In the past, some smart watches only provided a hanging phone in the Bluetooth call function, and did not synchronize the contacts and call records in the address book to the watch. If you need to dial out, you still have to go through your mobile phone. On the Honor Watch GS 3, the call function has also been further improved. Sync your contacts and call history to your watch. In this way, it is also possible to make a direct outbound call directly on the watch side, which is also more convenient for daily applications.
There is also built-in storage, allowing you to play music directly or connect Bluetooth headphones. Like some users like to go out running and do not want to bring a mobile phone, you can rely on the honor watch GS 3 comprehensive functional support, to achieve outdoor running data, track recording and listening to songs, it is also easier.
And like the multi-functional NFC, naturally in today's smart watches, it is indispensable. The NFC of the Honor Watch GS 3 supports the binding of multiple bus cards and access control cards, and can be smartly selected to facilitate the use of cards for daily life. Like one of the reasons I chose a smartwatch, there is this. Because I often need to swipe the access control card every day, I will bind the access control card to the smart watch for the first time to facilitate my daily use.
In addition, the Honor Watch GS 3 also developed a touch pass function for the NFC function, and the favorite pictures on the phone can be quickly set into a custom dial with a direct touch, bringing easier collocation to the daily versatile wear.
More comprehensive functional support and linkage make the Honor Watch GS 3 bring a more relaxed and efficient experience in daily work and life. This is also the importance of being a smart watch, which is an extension of the mobile phone, making it easier for us to achieve functional support on the wrist.
Both appearance and strength give you a new choice
The new upgrade of the Honor watch GS 3 this time, with a simple and exquisite appearance and strong performance, gives consumers a new smart wear choice. Exquisite exterior design, different styles of wear in our work and life, can be more easily integrated. The round dial is also preferred by more people on smart watches, because it is more like a traditional visual watch.
In terms of function, the Honor Watch GS 3 has also brought a comprehensive improvement this time. The 8-channel heart rate AI engine brings faster, more accurate and comprehensive heart rate monitoring, which can give us a better health care. At the same time, it also has more extended performance, such as richer third-party applications, sports mode recording, more comprehensive intelligent linkage reminders and interactions, and longer endurance, all of which give an excellent experience.
For users who want to choose a more practical wearable device on their wrist, the Honor Watch GS 3 is a nice new option.
