With a square dial and a rotating crown, can Huawei break through?
The smartwatch market has always been dominated by Apple and Samsung, but in recent years, domestic brands are emerging with innovative designs and practical features. As a leading brand of smart watches in China, HUAWEI Watch series has been adhering to the sports health gene, and has continued to innovate while retaining an excellent sports experience, bringing users a new smart experience.
Appearance design has always been the top priority of smart watches, which not only determines the fashion of the watch, but also affects the user's operating experience. FOR THE UPCOMING WATCH FIT 3, HUAWEI HAS PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO THE EXTERIOR DESIGN, STRIVING TO BRING USERS A NEW VISUAL IMPACT.
THE DESIGN OF THE DIAL, THE WATCH FIT 3 ADOPTS A SQUARE DIAL, WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM THE PREVIOUS RECTANGULAR SHAPE, AND TENDS TO BE CLOSER TO THE SQUARE. The overall visual effect is outstanding, the screen bezels are narrowed, and the four sides are of equal width, making the dial look more atmospheric. This design undoubtedly borrows elements from the Apple Watch, but it also retains the simple and generous style that Huawei watches have always had.
The design of the crown, the WATCH FIT 3 is equipped with a two-button design on the right side of the middle frame, one for the rotating crown and one for the physical button. The addition of the rotating crown undoubtedly enhances the sense of technology of the watch, and also brings a new experience to the operation. Users can quickly navigate menus, adjust settings, and more by turning the crown, making it easier and smoother. The retention of the physical buttons also allows the traditional click operation to continue, giving users a variety of options.
The WATCH FIT 3 cancels the lug design of the previous two generations and changes to a hidden quick-release design, making the overall appearance more integrated and the lines more smooth and clean. This design not only enhances the fashion of the watch, but also makes it easier for users to change the strap. The WATCH FIT 3 is expected to be available in two options, a silicone strap and a leather strap, available in pink, black, beige and off-white, respectively, to meet the aesthetic needs of different people.
In addition to the excellent exterior design, the functional configuration is also the core selling point of the smart watch. WATCH FIT 3 MAY EXTEND THE BASIC SPECIFICATIONS OF THE PREVIOUS GENERATION, SUPPORTING ALL-WEATHER HEART RATE, BLOOD OXYGEN MONITORING, SCIENTIFIC SLEEP MONITORING AND OTHER HEALTH MONITORING FUNCTIONS.
The round-the-clock heart rate monitoring function can grasp the user's heart rate changes in real time, and give exercise suggestions based on the data to help users arrange exercise reasonably. The blood oxygen monitoring function can detect the amount of oxygen in the user's blood, which is very helpful for outdoor sports in some highland areas. The scientific sleep monitoring function gives suggestions for improvement through the user's sleep quality to help users get a better sleep experience.
Another thing to keep an eye on is the sport mode. According to rumors, the WATCH FIT 3 is expected to provide more than 100 sports modes, covering a variety of sports such as outdoor running, cycling, swimming, etc., which can meet the sports needs of different people. The watch has a built-in independent GPS, which can accurately record the user's movement trajectory and location information, providing strong data support for outdoor sports.
IN ADDITION TO THE HEALTHY EXERCISE FUNCTION, THE WATCH FIT 3 MAY ALSO SUPPORT BLUETOOTH CALLING. With this feature, users can receive calls directly on their watch, eliminating the need to interrupt their movements due to incoming calls. THERE IS ALSO NEWS THAT THE WATCH FIT 3 WILL SUPPORT DOWNLOADER APPS AND SONGS, BRINGING MORE ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS TO USERS.
As a smart watch, aviation capability is also one of the key indicators. Although the exact flight time has not yet been announced, it is reported that the WATCH FIT 3's flight capacity will be improved, and the screen size will also be larger to meet the needs of users for large screens.
WATCH FIT 3 CAN BE DESCRIBED AS AN ALL-ROUND UPGRADE IN TERMS OF FUNCTIONAL CONFIGURATION, HEALTH MONITORING, SPORTS ASSISTANCE, ENTERTAINMENT AND SOCIAL NETWORKING, AND IT IS ALSO EXPECTED TO IMPROVE BATTERY LIFE AND SCREEN EXPERIENCE. Let's wait and see what the specific performance will be, and the actual test results after the official release.
For smart watches, the appearance design and functional configuration are important, but the real decision on whether a product can be successful lies in whether it meets the actual needs of users. Looking back at the development of the WATCH FIT series, it is not difficult to find that Huawei has been trying to find this balance.
The rectangular dial design of the previous generation of the WATCH FIT is a prime example. This design makes the watch look slimmer and more stylish, but it also limits the display area of the screen. The boxy dial design of the WATCH FIT 3 may be designed to solve this problem, providing users with a larger screen experience while ensuring style.
Similarly, the WATCH FIT 3 has added a new way of operation, a rotating crown, undoubtedly to bring users a more convenient operating experience. After all, for a smart watch, a good human-computer interaction experience is the foundation, and it is also the most important aspect for users.
In addition to hardware innovation, it is equally important to continuously iterate on software functions. From the initial sports health tracking, to sleep monitoring, blood oxygen detection, and now Bluetooth calling, party application support, the WATCH FIT series has been working hard to enrich its own functions to meet the growing needs of users.
