Huawei Watch Fit 3

Name: Huawei Watch Fit 3
Brand: Huawei
SKU: 6673

Manufacturer: Huawei

The Huawei Watch Fit 3 is a lightweight fitness-focused smartwatch weighing just 26 g, built around a 1.82″ OLED display with a pixel density of 347 ppi and an always-on mode for at-a-glance readability. Its slim 9.9 mm profile houses a broad set of health and activity tools, while the replaceable 20 mm band gives users some flexibility in how they wear it day to day. The watch is rated IP68 and 5 ATM with a waterproof depth of 50 m, making it suitable for swimming, and it includes a stroke counter to support that activity directly.

On the sensor side, the Watch Fit 3 carries a heart rate monitor, SpO2 tracker, accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, and cadence sensor, alongside built-in GPS with Galileo support for accurate outdoor route tracking. Bluetooth 5.2 handles connectivity to both Android and iOS devices, and NFC is present for contactless payments. The 400 mAh battery is rated for up to 10 days of general use or 10 hours in continuous training mode, with a notably short charge time of just 0.75 hours. The device also offers 4 GB of internal storage, a microphone for call handling, and a wide range of app features including coaching, voice feedback, music playback, and comprehensive health tracking covering sleep, menstrual cycles, BMI, and water intake.

Pros

The 1.82″ AMOLED display with always-on mode and 347 ppi pixel density makes for a sharp, consistently visible screen during daily wear
At just 26 g and 9.9 mm thick, the watch is light and slim enough to wear comfortably throughout the day and during exercise
A full charge takes only 0.75 hours, meaning time off the wrist is kept to a minimum
The watch is rated IP68 and 5 ATM to 50 m, making it fully suitable for swimming, with a dedicated stroke counter to support it
Built-in GPS with Galileo support, route tracking, elevation tracking, and automatic activity detection provide a capable outdoor and fitness tracking package
The companion app is both free and ad-free, and includes an extensive feature set covering women's health, sleep reports, coaching, BMI, weight, water intake, and more

Cons

No Wi-Fi support limits the watch to Bluetooth-only data transfer and connectivity
There is no ECG function, barometer, body temperature sensor, or fall detection, leaving gaps in health monitoring coverage compared to some other smartwatches in the category
The watch is not compatible with Windows or Mac OS X, restricting desktop management to mobile devices only
Wireless charging is not supported, requiring a wired connection every time the battery needs topping up
Battery life drops to 10 hours in continuous training mode, which may not be sufficient for very long endurance activities

Who is this for?

The Huawei Watch Fit 3 is well suited to everyday fitness enthusiasts who want a capable health tracker that remains light and unobtrusive on the wrist. Its broad activity tracking suite, including automatic activity detection, multi-sport mode, and built-in GPS with route tracking, makes it a practical companion for runners, cyclists, and swimmers who need reliable workout logging without carrying a phone. The watch also appeals to users with a strong interest in holistic wellness, given its coverage of sleep reports, women's health features, BMI, water intake, and calorie tracking, all managed through a free, ad-free companion app. Those who want quick and easy recharging will also benefit from the short 0.75-hour charge time.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who require advanced cardiac monitoring will find the watch limiting, as it lacks ECG technology and fall detection, making it a poor fit for older users or those with specific medical monitoring needs. The absence of Wi-Fi and incompatibility with Windows and Mac OS X also rules it out for users who need flexible data syncing beyond a paired smartphone. Endurance athletes engaged in ultra-long training sessions may find the 10-hour training mode battery life restrictive, and the lack of a barometer makes it less useful for those who need accurate altitude data during activities like trail running or hiking. The watch is equally not a good match for users seeking a dedicated diving or golf device, as neither activity is supported.
