HUAWEI Band 3 Review: Beautiful Appearance, Powerful Performance

For those who love light sports, smart wristband and sports watches are better tools for assisting sports. Most of the smart wristband on the market look dull, so wearing such products to attend some formal occasions will feel a little embarrassing; Most of the professional sports watches are very expensive, the appearance looks old and lack of fashion. The release of HUAWEI Band 3 series has filled this gap like a god. It is equipped with a 6-axis sensor that supports the swimming position monitoring function. The key is that the appearance is very beautiful, definitely makes you feel very confident when attending various occasions, let's take a look at it.


The HUAWEI Band 3 series has released a variety of colors. For example, the HUAWEI Band 3 Pro has three colors such as obsidian black, space blue, and quicksand gold, while HUAWEI Band 3 has four colors such as pearl black, coral orange, aurora blue and mica pink. The one I tested was the HUAWEI Band 3, which was made of silicone wristband and plastic-sprayed body material. A 0.95-inch AMOLED color HD large-screen display was used in the middle. We all know that many smart bracelets on the market use monochrome or LED screen design. The advantage of full-color screen is that it can provide more realistic content, and can greatly improve the visual level of the bracelet, and also make the timetable looks very pleasing.


The screen resolution of HUAWEI Band 3 is 240*120, the display effect is exquisite, the Home touch button is hidden at the bottom of the screen, and the screen supports the up and down touch, which is very convenient for daily use. The band body adopts iridescent spray middle frame. After grinding and polishing multiple processes, the color difference between the movement part and the wristband is very small, and the seam is also very smooth and delicate, without burrs, all of which reflect the texture of the first-line factory. The details are also superior to other OEM brands.


In terms of operation, HUAWEI Band 3 adopts “Full Touch + One Button Home” design, which enables users to touch the screen under any circumstances. Its performance is relatively stable and optimized to achieve accurate control even when the hand is wet. Regarding the screen material, the bracelet adopts a 2.5D curved glass design, and the glass surface is added with anti-fingerprint (AF) coating, which has strong anti-fouling ability and easy cleaning. Moreover, the hardness of the glass is up to 7H, and there is basically no need to fear of ordinary bumps and scratches in daily use



Whether a smart sports bracelet can bring a sense of pleasure to the consumer, a large part of the reason is if you can get a comfortable wearing feeling from the bracelet. At this point, I think the silicone bracelet of HUAWEI Band 3 is very comfortable to wear. It uses UV light curing technology, although it has a lot of texture on the surface, but it feels very smooth and very skin-friendly. It really feels like you don't wear anything for 24 hours.

In terms of charging, I thought of a brand of smart bracelet that I have used before. After a long period of use, the surface of the charging electrode of the wristband produces a slight oxide layer, which is easy to cause poor contact and cannot be charged. It is very trouble.

HUAWEI Band 3 is equipped with a charging base. The charging base can be accurately positioned through the elastic card on the band body and the alignment groove on the body of the wristband, it can make better contact between the metal electrode on the base and the electrode on the body.


In terms of battery life. When I used to wear a brand smart watch, the biggest psychological burden was that I was afraid that the watch would suddenly lose power. It was necessary to have a charge every day. If the push function that is turned on that day is a little more, the power of the watch is not enough for one day, which is very annoying. HUAWEI Band 3 uses low-power chips. The officially claimed typical usage time is up to 12 days (scientific sleep and continuous heart rate turned off), and it can be used for 5 days under scientific sleep and heart rate turned on. After using the HUAWEI Band 3 for three days, the bracelet still has 60% power, which means that the short-term business trip does not need to be bring with a charger, so convenient.


In terms of health functions, HUAWEI Band 3 has added a heart rate monitoring module to fully support the heart health research program of the 301 Hospital in China. Through the cooperation of the accurate heart rate monitoring function of the bracelet and the heart health research APP, it can capture the irregular heartbeat track every day. Heart rate test result can also be obtained by professional algorithm and technical analysis for heart health research，to help users understand the heart health and provide a one-stop service for arrhythmia. In addition, for sleep monitoring, HUAWEI Band 3 also has good support from HUAWEI technology. HUAWEI Band 3 is equipped with HUAWEI TruSleep sleep detection technology to accurately identify six typical sleep problems such as difficulty falling asleep, analyze and find the impact of bad sleep habits or psychological, physiological and environmental factors on sleep quality. The technology also passed the certification test at the Harvard Medical School’s CDB Center.


At present, most of devices with heart rate detection function on the market have green light on the heart rate sensor, which is also for more accurate detection of data. But when sleeping at night, the green light from the bottom of the bracelet/watch will affect sleep more or less. HUAWEI Band 3 solves this problem very well. While maintaining the green light sensor, it also adds IR (infrared light) technology for the first time to support invisible light to monitor heart rate and sleep. It will automatically switch to IR light after the wristband judges the user falls asleep which can greatly improve the sleeping quality.


Sports monitoring statistics is one of the most important functions of HUAWEI Band 3. It supports a wide range of sports modes and it can achieve better support whether it is running, swimming, cycling, or yoga. According to the actual situation, you can also switch outdoor running, indoor running, outdoor walking, outdoor riding, indoor cycling, free training, swimming pool swimming, etc. on the bracelet. Eliminating the trouble of operating on mobile phones and carrying mobile phones, presenting multiple data in real time, such as calories, steps and tracks.


Running is a more executive exercise for most of people. Based on this, the HUAWEI Band 3 series uses the Firstbeat motion algorithm based on heart rate, which provides users with professional data reports after exercise, and provides professional sports guidance based on data reports to develop a more complete running plan. The waistband also provides an effect assessment after the running, including VO2max (maximum oxygen uptake), recovery time recommendations, training performance scores, and more. This series of features is very useful for the running party.

HUAWEI Band 3 also has a waterproof capacity of 50 meters, so we can wear bracelets when bathing, raining, car washing and swimming. It is also worth mentioning that the strong stroke recognition function of HUAWEI Band 3 not only helps the wearer to automatically record the number of turns and time, but also detect breaststroke, backstroke, freestyle and other strokes, and can calculate calories and strokes times, stroke frequency, pace, number of turns, distance and average SWOLF, which can effectively help the user adjust the swimming posture.

Finally, in terms of use, if you have used Huawei's smart wearable devices before, then you don't need to re-install the new APP. Huawei Sports Health APP can include all Huawei smart products, only need to bind products on demand, it is very convenient.


HUAWEI Band 3 is landing with beautiful appearance and powerful performance. It changes people's traditional concept of "smart wristband = low ugly + weak performance", which is quite worthy of recommendation for young people with light sports needs. In terms of price, HUAWEI Band 3 Pro is priced at 89.99 USD,Please stay stunned with Vmallworld.com to get more information.
