Relative to the above categories, Glory's independence seems to have been a bit quiet on wearables, namely smartwatches and bracelets. However, as the saying goes, it's never too late to make a good meal. Today glory finally brought glory watch GS 3, business positioning fashion thin and light. There are many highlights in design and function.
Recently we have been using this Honor Watch GS 3 for some time. In this article, we will talk about our experience and evaluation of Honor Watch GS 3 in detail.
Let's take a look at the general specifications of the Honor Watch GS 3:
Three major thematic designs of Universal Voyage, Streamlight Classic and Racing Pioneer, selected Napa head-layer calfskin straps, 10.5mm 5 ATM waterproof thickness, 1.43-inch AMOLED screen weighing 44g, 326PPI 8-channel optoelectronic heart rate sensor, gyro, barometer, acceleration/geomagnetic/ Ambient light sensor GPS/Beidou/Galileo/GLONASS/Quasi-Zenith Satellite.
Before using this smartwatch, there is always a sense of movement, a strong sense of technology, but the watch itself is not decorative enough. As soon as you get your hands on the Glory Watch GS 3, you can experience a unique sense of sophistication, especially with the quotFlow Classic quot color scheme in our hands.
I think this sense of sophistication comes mainly from the combination of its polished 316L steel and gold-plated crafted frame, 3D thin curved glass crystal, and selected Napa head calf leather strap.
The product comes with a round dial, which is close to the shape of a traditional watch. With such a fine polish, Honor Watch GS 3 looks more like a traditional branded watch. The default gold dial is quotStreamline Classic quot, luxury everywhere, people who often go in and out of high-grade business places can say that they won't feel out of place when wearing it. In addition, there are two versions of quotUniversal Voyage quot and quotRacial Pioneer quot, and the face value is also online.
There are two buttons on the right side of the desk. The top button has multiple functions such as power button, home button, open app list, etc. The bottom button is a customized button that can be set to quickly open specific apps.
The back side has built-in sensors for heart rate, blood oxygen, and other metrics.
In terms of wearing, although the dial size of the Honor GS 3 is moderate and the bezel is made of steel, but thanks to the weight of only 44g, it still wins Don't feel like your hands are heavy. With a buckle strap, it is easy to adjust the elasticity, and there is no problem with the comfort of wearing it for a long time.
Connection
Smart watch daily contact with the most is not a variety of functions, but lift one can see the dial Hand, which is also part of the decision of the value of the watch. Honor Watch GS 3 comes with 12 dials pre-installed locally, both business-oriented and sporty or tech-oriented. Of course, there are hundreds of different styles of dials available on the dial market.
On the 1.43-inch, 326PPI, 1,000-nit brightness AMOLED color screen, the dials have a very translucent and detailed display. With the display characteristics of AMOLED, Honor Watch GS 3 also supports the function of interest screen dial.
The system interface and basic operation of Honor Watch GS 3 are not much different from the previous products. The main interface displays the dial, and left and right swipe preset apps card 3354, including heart rate, stress test, activity record, weather, payment code and so on. The bottom slides up to the notification bar, and the top pulls down to the control center 3354, including five options: no-disturbance mode, system settings, screen always on, find phone, and alarm clock. Pressing up on the main screen is to call up the app list.
Previously, smartwatches with such a long battery life often gave people a feeling that they were not smooth enough and occasionally lagged when using them. But the Honor Watch GS 3 does a great job of smoothness. Due to good system optimization, both switching apps card left and right slide, up and down slide list, click, etc.. Relatively speaking, it is still relatively good to follow, but also by other colleagues within the love of the machine certainly.
Functional expressions
Smart watches to now can realize the function has been basically finalized, the rest is nothing more than to see whether each manufacturer can make a difference in the details.

On top of that, it's worth mentioning that Honor has also added an 8-channel heart rate AI engine, which increases the number of photoelectric sensor sampling channels compared to other smartwatches. At the same time, the 8 receiving channels are evenly distributed on the back of the watch in a circular layout, which reduces the error caused by close fitting and enables the watch to collect more accurate static and sports heart rate data.
Benefiting from the 8-channel heart rate AI engine, Honor Watch GS 3 supports high-precision swimming heart rate recording, overcoming the previous lack of accuracy in heart rate data collection in special environments like swimming.
Functionally, Honor Watch GS 3 supports 104 sports modes -, of which 19 are professional sports modes, including running, walking, cycling, swimming, skiing and so on. The remaining 85 are customized sport modes.
After each exercise, you can instantly view detailed data such as time, calories burned, speed, stride/step frequency, heart rate, etc. And generate charts for reference.
When it comes to exercise, we have to mention the features of Honor Watch GS 3 in satellite positioning. When I experienced some competitors before, I found that although some watches have satellite positioning function, there are problems such as slow positioning and inaccurate trajectory capture.
Glorious Watch GS 3 supports GPS, BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, quasi-Zenith and dual-frequency GPS positioning. In the actual experience, the outdoor satellite search and positioning speed is very fast, and the trajectory produced by running and cycling is smoother and more accurate.3354 It can even be accurately positioned on different runways in the same playground, outputting a track that is close to concentric circles.
In addition to these sports and health features, the most commonly used daily is the message reminder. Although the phone rings and the desktop vibrates at work, it's often not the first time you see it. With the timely reminder of the watch, you win Don't miss important news.

The Glory Watch GS 3 has a sports health APP on the phone to go with it, which allows you to pair with your phone, download and update firmware, import dials, import third-party APPs, and more. It also includes the ability to view detailed data on sports health.
When it comes to third-party apps, one of the major advantages of Honor Watch GS 3 over many competitors is that it supports more third-party apps in addition to the basic functions, which greatly broadens the usage scenario. Currently there are 25 available for download and installation, including Gaode Maps, Baidu Maps, Himalaya Wear, Navigation, Palm High Speed Rail, Tick List, and so on.
For those of us who often need to travel, this is too difficult. The utility of using an airline app, including check-in and seat selection reminders for flights, the display of information about delays, cancellations, gate changes, etc., as well as the display of electronic boarding passes, are all available on the watch.
Last but not least, the very common card function. Honor Watch GS 3 supports NFC bus cards and analog access cards. The public transportation card officially supports more than 200 cities across the country. I a *** look at 47 cards, basically all major provinces and cities, many also support free card opening; and honor watch GS 3 has the function of smart card selection, that is to say, no matter whether you use a public transport card or access card,
Long life, the honor watch GS 3 official labeled typical life time of 14 days. In actual use, with message notifications turned on and frequent screen use the next day's power is about 8%, and after a full week the remaining power is about 60%. As long as you don't use it very heavily, you can indeed achieve the nominal two-week battery life, and this level of battery life is quite reassuring. For example, you don't Short business trips don't require bringing an extra charger.
For charging, the Honor Watch GS 3 comes with a magnetic charger that supports fast charging. We also conducted a simple test. With an initial charge of 10%, it can be charged to 38% in 10 minutes, 78% in 30 minutes, and 90% in 45 minutes. The official 0 - 100% charge time is about 55 minutes, and you can use it all day on a 5-minute charge, which is roughly in line with this level when tested.
Summary
The Honor Watch GS 3 is a pleasant surprise. First of all, it has a luxury design comparable to traditional brand watches, and stands out among competitors with fewer exterior shapes. It can be said that the appearance is the most impressive to me in the process of using it.
