Huawei Watch GT 3: Getting healthy can get easier

Doing it everyday is the hard part

Alright, I’ve recently fallen out of my intense fitness journey. Since the pandemic began, I took my health and fitness seriously. I was working out four to five times a week and getting stronger. And, to be honest, I had ulterior motives to getting fit: finally going off my meds.

The journey was challenging and painful but, for a while, it was just demoralizing not having a good way to track my progress. It prompted looking into smartwatches that could help me stay on track while noting my health on a day-to-day basis (especially on days where I wasn’t working out).

Guess what your girl got to try this time? The Huawei Watch GT 3. And, oh boy, you’re in for a treat.

“It gets easier…”

Taken from the heart-wrenching series, Bojack Horseman, “Every day it gets a little easier. But, you got to have to do it every day. That’s the hard part. But it does get easier.”

Whether you’re trying to stay healthy, get fit, or be healthier, it can be tough to stick to. Personally, it just got difficult to find the motivation when tracking my health was impossible. This is why, having the Huawei Watch GT 3 not just sparked my fitness journey but also, helped me maintain my health.

The Huawei Watch GT 3 feels like a personal trainer on the wrist. The nice forgiving kind, not the naggy kind (thankfully).

From recording data to analyze your workouts and overall health, the watch helps you get through the tough parts of your fitness journey. It keeps track of everything from your heart rate to workouts to sleep quality. That way, you can zero in on your health like no other!

Pace yourself

When I was working out a lot and staying intensely active, I was overdoing it. I would overwork myself to every fitness challenge out there to push myself. And, well, passed out and got ill. Which is the point — I had to learn to pace myself.

Your health and fitness is a big shift of lifestyle so, you need to go easy on yourself. And, striking that balance can be genuinely daunting.

With the Huawei Watch GT 3 all the daunting shenanigans became achievable. The watch can intelligently identify the basic period, lifting period, consolidation period, and reduction period depending on your athletic ability level and goals.

From there, the watch can appropriately and custom adjust the training intensity and gradually increases the training volume to gradually get to your fitness goals. So, don’t overwork yourself and get to your goals to the beating of your own heart.

Feel better

Because you deserve to. A smartwatch doesn’t always have to be there to get the skinny legend summer body we’re told is “perfection.” You are stunning, beautiful, and handsome as you are and maybe you just need something that keeps you in check for your stress, sleep, or holistic health. Well, funny that then.

The Huawei GT 3 features both AI Running Coach and Healthy Living Shamrock. These will help you not just get fit; it’ll help you stay healthy.

If you want to strut in style while doing all that, these ones finally got what the others didn’t: HarmonyOS 2.1. Letting you experience the same design and interactive features on your phone!

Routine and stamina

Staying mindful over your diet, workout, and overall health can be straining but the Huawei Watch GT 3 luckily won’t give up on you quickly. The watch has a battery life of at least seven days to 14 days in the tank.

Remember though: to go easy on yourself on your journey to healthy or to stay healthy. No journey or goal is ever easy to work towards so, be forgiving towards yourself.

The Huawei Watch GT 3 46mm has a price tag of PhP 12,999 with freebies worth PhP 3,998 while the Huawei Watch GT 3 42mm starts at PhP 11,999. But with holiday deals, it costs PhP 8,999 online exclusive with freebies worth PhP 2,490 during pre-order phase.

Jackery has expanded its Explorer Series, introducing three new models: the Explorer 300D, Explorer 500 V2, and Explorer 2000 V2.

These new portable power station models join the earlier Explorer 100 Plus, 300 Plus, and 1000 V2 releases earlier in the year.

Each is built for different needs, from brief power interruptions to outdoor adventures and prolonged outages.

The Jackery Explorer 300D is a grab-and-go variant for unexpected power cuts. It is a compact power station weighing just about 2.5 kilograms and is 64% smaller than standard 300Wh units.

With a speaker-like form factor, 288Wh capacity, and 300W total DC output, it is the ideal power station for content creators, remote workers, and outdoor enthusiasts who live life on the move.

It can juice up a fast-charging Type-C laptop three to four times, smartphones up to 22 times, and drone batteries four to five times.

The Explorer 300D comes with unique DC-only design to eliminate idle power loss. It also has a 2-in-1 shoulder strap that unclips to double as a heavy-duty 140W USB-C charging cable.

Meanwhile, the Jackery Explorer 500 V2 packs a 512Wh capacity and 500W max output into a sleek frame.

It has an Uninterruptible Power Supply switchover time of under 10 milliseconds, ensuring devices such as Wi-Fi routers or laptops will not drop connection. It can also power up a desk fan for about 8.5 hours.

For easy storage, it has a fold-down handle. This makes the power station also portable to carry with you wherever you need it.

Lastly, the heavy-duty Jackery Explorer 2000 V2 features a massive 2,042Wh capacity and 2,200W inverter.

Weighing just 17.9 kilograms, it is about 41% lighter and 34% smaller than standard generators in the 2kWh category.

It can power a standard inverter refrigerator for up to 14 hours, run a 1.0 HP air conditioner for up to 3.5 hours, or power multiple electric fans for up to 28 hours.

It can also power kitchen essentials like rice cookers, small water heaters or coffee makers, and microwaves, in case hunger strikes amidst a power interruption.

The Explorer 2000 V2 also features an EV-grade LiFePO4 battery engineered for over 10 years of daily use.

The entire Jackery lineup is available on Lazada, Shopee, the Jackery kiosk at SM Fairview, and other partner stores.

PlayStation is expanding its audio lineup with the Pulse Elevate wireless speakers, its first wireless speakers developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The speakers will launch in Southeast Asia starting November 12, 2026, with pre-orders opening September 2.

The Pulse Elevate speakers are designed for desktop gaming on PS5, PC, and Mac, while also supporting portable use with the PlayStation Portal remote player and smartphones. They combine planar magnetic drivers, built-in woofers, and PlayStation Link wireless connectivity for low-latency, lossless audio.

Each speaker uses a studio-inspired planar magnetic driver to deliver sound across the audible spectrum. Built-in woofers add richer bass, while the speakers can enhance positional audio in PS5 games that support Tempest 3D AudioTech.

The right speaker also has a built-in microphone with AI-enhanced noise rejection. This allows users to handle voice chat without wearing a headset while helping filter out unwanted background noise.

Designed for gaming and beyond

Pulse Elevate uses PlayStation Link for ultra-low-latency wireless audio with compatible devices, including the PS5, PC, Mac, and PlayStation Portal. The speakers also support Bluetooth, allowing users to listen to audio from a Bluetooth device while using PlayStation Link for another connected device.

A PlayStation Link USB adapter is included and works with USB-C ports. The speakers also feature built-in rechargeable batteries, letting users take them on the go. Charging docks are included for returning to a desktop setup.

Users can adjust the speakers’ volume directly and position them horizontally or vertically. PS5 and PC users can also customize EQ, sidetone, volume, and microphone mute settings through system menus.

Pulse Elevate will be available in Midnight Black and White.

Price and availability

Pulse Elevate wireless speakers will launch starting November 12, 2026. Pre-orders begin September 2 at local retailers. Availability may vary by market and retailer.

The recommended retail prices are:

Singapore: SGD 319
Malaysia: MYR 1,099
Thailand: THB 8,499
Philippines: PHP 14,709
Vietnam: VND 6,999,000

The Pulse Elevate marks Sony Interactive Entertainment’s first entry into wireless speakers, extending the PlayStation audio ecosystem beyond the Pulse Elite headset and Pulse Explore earbuds.

Apple is working on AirPods with built-in cameras

References to the wearable were spotted inside a new macOS beta.

Published

The launch of operating system betas is a cause of celebration for those digging into what’s next for a brand. No other company does that better than Apple. Today, Apple released a new release candidate for macOS Tahoe 26.7. As expected, the release has a treasure trove of references to unreleased devices, including a new type of AirPods with built-in cameras.

Let’s get the obvious out of the way first. The references include a slew of unreleased iPads, Macs, and HomePods. Since these devices are already expected to come out, they’re hardly worth nothing. This includes the iPhone 18 series. If anything, the references confirm the iPhone Ultra, the rumored entry into the foldable market, but that’s it.

Now, the more interesting inclusion is a pair of AirPods with cameras. Despite the controversies surrounding cameras on smart glasses, Apple is reportedly building audio-based wearables with cameras themselves.

In a short demo video (also obtained from the macOS beta via MacRumors), the AirPods can apparently “save” things that it sees, including a book you might want to search for later. In that way, the built-in camera acts more like a voice assistant, rather than a recording device.

Though the references don’t confirm a launch date, it’s likely that the camera-based AirPods will come out sometime soon. After all, why would a blatant reference be inside a publicly available beta?
