The new Honor Watch GS 3 is a smartwatch from the Chinese brand, which offers a watch with a rather elegant design and extensive sports monitoring capabilities. It seems to point to the upper-middle range, so the finishes have also been taken care of, with quality materials.
Presented together with the folding Honor Magic V, the Honor Watch GS 3 is capable of monitoring our performance in more than 100 different sports , so its style of dress has not limited its versatility.
The integrated continuous heart rate monitor uses an 8-channel PPG sensor and offers artificial intelligence to measure heart rate , algorithms that according to Honor raise the accuracy of the Watch GS 3 up to 97%.
The continuous SpO2 blood oxygen monitor is also not missing, and the rest of the usual monitoring functions, such as night sleep or stress level.
In the Honor Watch GS 3 we have a 1.43-inch AMOLED screen (466 x 466 px), physically capable of withstanding up to 5 ATM underwater .
The Honor Watch GS 3 not only supports GPS, Glonass, Galileo, Beidou and NavIC , but also brings a map app capable of guiding us step by step. Of course, it will be necessary to see if they can be used in Spain and the rest of the world, since in the presentation for China a local provider has been used for the maps.
The same happens with NFC , which in principle will serve to make payments from the wrist without depending on the mobile phone, and in China support for public transport cards for 300 cities has been announced.
The battery of the Honor Watch GS 3 reaches up to 14 days of autonomy and has a fast charge. We know that the software will support the download of applications, but we do not know what operating system it uses or the catalog of apps that we will have.
At the level of finishes, 316L stainless steel and animal leather or rubber straps are used, depending on the version. Three models will be sold: in black, with a blue strap and silver case, and with a brown strap and gold case.
In China it will be sold for 1,299 yuan or 1,499 yuan depending on the version, which in exchange is equivalent to about 180 euros or 208 euros, respectively. A figure that is expected to be higher when the smartwatch arrives in Spain, and that will place it in the upper-middle range.
In general, the Honor Watch GS 3 is an interesting smartwatch , which stands out for its classic and careful design, without neglecting the functions expected in a current smartwatch.
