OK so, where to start.
What to compare it to? I had a fitbit a long time ago which I found ok but wasn't for me. Then I moved onto a Withings watch which was stylish and functional. I've had two Withings watches. I bought into the Withings concept and got a Withings weighing scales too. What irked me about the Withings was limited health data. Yes, it would tell me how long I slept and woke up but the breakdown was poor, the detail was poor. The straps marked my wrists with persistent use. My Withings marriage came to an end.
My missus is apple everything. I once had an apple iPhone but when I was forced down a software upgrade and subsequently lost everything, I swore I'd never ever do apple again and have stuck to my resolution since then. Android all the way.
But the apple watch is aesthetically appealing. Huawei traditionally has a round face. I wanted something Appley without it being so. When I saw this watch, I decided to give it a go. It ticked my initial boxes. I didn't jump in, took the time to read reviews online etc.
I've had it about a week. Haven't charged it since the initial charge and is at 55%. They advertise 20 days or so but the more you have enabled on the watch, the less it's going to last. Online reviews from "experts" say it will last longer but again depending on what you have enabled.
The sleep data is great. Breaks down into rem, deep sleep, light sleep, breathing disturbances, wake ups, naps, sp02 readings during sleep, heart data etc. It gives meaningful tips on improving sleep quality, shows how you do daily compared to other users. There are lots of bells and whistles on the sleep tracking.
General day to day does everything you'd expect, step tracking, will track running on a treadmill, rowing on a rower but doesn't handle cycling on a exercise bike. You can avail of fitness plans, objectives, daily goals etc. Everything I can think of, it can do.
One of biggest gripes with my previous watch is that I couldn't respond to messages easily. Picture this - I'd be out walking the dog, lead in one hand, I'd get a message "are you ok, dinner will be ready soon", for me to answer it, I have to stop walking, get the dog to sit, take out my phone from pocket, unlock it, type a message to answer. Put phone back in pocket, continue walking. Cue a follow up message, same exercise happens again. It happens almost daily, some variation. It irks the life out of me. If I didn't answer, cue onslaught of other messages. Ok, sounds like a different problem but I had no easy resolution. Now, I can send a quick reply via watch. You can't type your own messages but rather use predefined short messages from app. But when I'm out walking or busy where I can't use my phone, I won't have a dynamic conversation with someone (otherwise I'd use phone), I just want to say "ok" or "walking dog, back soon" or "ok thanks".
The watch itself is bright, can have different settings to activate, has a compass on case you get lost in the desert, can play music, can take a phone call from it, can swipe to see different data summaries, can see weather data etc.
All in all, happy with it so far.

Nice watch from huawei good build quality screen is bright and smooth operating nice and comfortable to wear just the right size screen, lots of sport tracking features personal I mainly only use step counter and stress monitor and sleep monitoring and seems accurate as any, nice heptic motor as well huawei health app is simple to use and under stand, good selections of free faces although look a bit dated wish would add more although you can obviously pay if find one better you like, straps are avaliable and I like the simple way they connect much better than the silly fiddly pin type, ordered one quick as the promo for free buds 2 was ending the following day, overall good watch for the money and if can get the free buds makes it worth while as well, had a update out the box currently Harmoney OS 4.2. 0.150 and it's very smooth

The Huawei watch Fit 3 has been amazing so far. Its lightweight and trendy design is really comfortable—I hardly feel it on my wrist. AMOLED screen adjusts to any light, which is perfect for my outdoor runs. I love the fitness tracking there's over 100 sports modes, Was not even aware you could track some of these and the smart activity suggestions keep me motivated. The health monitoring features, like Sleep and hear rate monitoring, have helped me improve my sleep and track my heart rate accurately, but to be honest the 10 day battery life, is what makes it great for me, i had other makes before and they were no where near as as good on the battery as this watch. The smart notifications are a nice little extra as well. I highly recommend this.

I was very skeptical about the watch at the initial glance. But I fell in love with it. Very convenient and versatile. The fact I take my calls directly is a top notch. The battery life is amazing. The appearance is superb The quality is on point. Value for money can’t be overemphasised. The performance is 150%

Ich trage sie jetzt den 3 Tag, sie braucht bei gleicher Nutzung definitiv viel weniger Akku. Das Display ist schön groß, die Uhr ist federleicht.... kurzum .... ich liebe sie...😍
Viele Health Funktionen kann ich direkt auf der Uhr sehen, wie zum Beispiel die Schlafanalyse.
Dazu ist die Optik einfach von Wertigkeit und Schönheit geprägt. Das sie ein Apple Watch Zwilling ist, naja, egal.😅
Klare Kaufempfehlung!!!
