5 reasons why I made the big smartwatch switch
Huge for someone who prefers analog timepieces
I’ve always been the kind of person who prefers analog watches despite the rising trend of smartwatches. I find them basic and simple to use. It’s also easy to mix and match it with my outfits whenever and wherever I need to wear it.
Then came the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro.
With all its features and very versatile design, things are about to change. It made me want to do the big switch to smartwatches ASAP. Let me tell you why.
It makes a statement
Just one look at the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro and it screams premium quality. Its seamless titanium body and ceramic back case give it a very classy and sleek look. And its built resembles analog watches which I really like.
Its titanium crown works as its power button as well as its scroll and zoom wheel. It not only looks mechanical but also feels like it too. With its haptic feedback, I still get the satisfying feeling of turning — just like that of an analog watch.
The Watch GT 3 Pro sports a 1.43-inch AMOLED display perfectly paired with its sapphire crystal lens. It’s a vibrant and vivid display that makes its content visible even when outdoors.
You may prefer the titanium bracelet on this Titanium edition. Perhaps even the 43-mm Ceramic Edition that’s claimed to be created for women. But personally, I would rather have this gray high quality leather strap variant as it blends easier with my array of outfits.
My beau would also love this wearable as it also suits men, while I can use his Huawei Watch Fit 2 on days that I feel like using a smaller but still featured-packed smartwatch.
Still on its versatility, I can customize this with different watch faces I can choose from the watch itself. I can also pick from a myriad of faces to download via the Huawei Health App. This makes it easier to mix and match it with my style. The watch also features an Always On Display and what’s great about it is that for every watch face, a corresponding Always On Display appears.
It definitely is a good-looking smartwatch that makes a big statement on my wrist.
Helps you watch your health (pun intended)
These days, I’ve been so pumped up to hustle at work and have been preoccupied with passion projects that I sometimes tend to neglect my health. Gratefully, I have the GT 3 Pro to keep track of that as this watch brings health management to a whole new level.
This smartwatch has a medical-grade ECG analysis app. It helps me stay informed about any heart health-related risks. An ECG is a test that can be used to check your heart’s electrical activity and rhythm. And to check using the GT 3 Pro, it’s as easy as holding on the ECG sensor button with my index finger for 30 seconds and it provides the summary of my heart condition.
It also has an SpO2 and heart rate monitoring but what has been really useful for me are its stress and sleep monitoring that reminds me to take more rest and slow down when I’ve been overworking.
The GT 3 Pro has also helped me to stay focused on my primary health goal of controlling my weight through its Health Living feature. This is Huawei’s way to track your daily health and fitness progress. I just had to set it up on my Huawei Health app and I was given a list of tasks and I can also receive reminders to help me reach my goal.
The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro may not be a professional medical equipment but it was still great to have it as an easily accessible health indicator.
Motivates you to squeeze fitness into your lifestyle
During rare days when I have some free time, I’m tempted to just be lazy. But look at the Watch GT 3 Pro and I’m motivated to hop back into working out.
Whatever workout I’d choose, this watch definitely has it. The watch can track over 100 workout modes. During my workouts, I was also getting audio guides from the AI fitness on the watch where I was given the information on my workout status.
I’ve also been planning to go swimming and I know I can freely do that even while wearing the GT 3 Pro. This comes with IP68, 5 ATM ratings for water resistance and can even record diving data. It also supports free diving for as deep as 30 meters so I can definitely use it for my swimming workout plan along with its swimming workout mode.
Has a software that lets you do more
The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro runs on Harmony OS and it definitely gives you a smooth and great-looking interface. Whenever I need to jump from one feature to another, the watch’s fast responsiveness is really obvious. There are no discernable lags and navigation just feels easy.
With this software, I can access a number of thirty party apps that come in handy. There’s the Calculator and Petal Maps for navigation to name a few. I just had to download these via the AppGallery on the Huawei Health app. What’s great is you also get regular notifications so staying up-to-date is worry-free.
It also became easy to attend to important calls, send quick replies and view call logs via the GT 3 Pro’s notifications while it is connected to my smartphone.
As someone who also likes listening to music while working out, the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro makes it easier for me. I get to listen to my BTS beats during my gym routine since I can add songs directly on the watch. Since the built-in speakers aren’t annoyingly loud, I can play my music without disturbing other gym goers.
Packs a robust battery life that lets you go on and on
I must admit, I’ve become a bit forgetful these days. I don’t even remember to charge the GT 3 Pro but that isn’t a problem.
I’ve been really enjoying exploring this watch that I’ve been using it for my daily activities. And true to the brand’s promise, its battery lasts 8 days for heavy usage. But if you’re unlike me and you would just use it once in a while, the battery can most certainly last for more.
Meanwhile, charging it is fairly quick with the wireless charging cradle that came with it. I took a nap for a little over an hour while leaving the GT 3 Pro charged and when I woke up, the battery was fully charged again. Talk about convenience.
Is the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro your GadgetMatch?
Honestly, I think I’ve met my match that has definitely changed my perception when it comes to smartwatches.
The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro ticks all the right boxes. It has a very classy and versatile look that surely catches attention. It’s very user-friendly and motivates me to stay fit and healthy. Plus, it also packs a lot of features that I never knew I wanted and needed.
This has positively made me do the big smartwatch switch.
The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro retails for PhP 16,999 and is available in Titanium and Ceramic Edition. Get it from May 27 to June 30, 2022 and you’ll get a freebie Huawei Strap worth PhP 1,399.
It is available on Huawei Store and authorized platforms such as Lazada and Shopee. It’s also in Huawei Experience stores and other retail partners.

These Dyson drops are the home upgrades you didn’t know you needed
Yes, we’re adding Dyson to the wishlist, and you should too!
Dyson surely knows how to make an entrance.
At IFA 2025 in Berlin, James Dyson himself arrived in a vintage Mini before pulling the cover off a lineup of new and re-engineered gadgets.
From supercharged hair tools to whisper-quiet purifiers, these are the pieces that prove Dyson is still the gold standard in making everyday life feel smarter and sleeker.
Dyson Airwrap Coanda 2x
Meet your new vanity essential. The Airwrap Coanda 2x takes the cult-favorite multi-styler and cranks it up with Dyson’s fastest hair care motor yet.
With 6-in-1 versatility through drying, curling, waving, straightening, smoothing, and volumizing, it’s like having an entire glam team tucked into one sleek wand, minus the heat damage.
Dyson Supersonic r
Smaller, lighter, and even stronger, the Supersonic r is Dyson’s most powerful hair dryer to date.
Its chic 38mm body is a statement in itself, but the real magic is how it dries fast while keeping strands shiny and smooth.
Attachments automatically adjust airflow and heat, so your at-home blowout feels like a salon moment every time.
Dyson V8 Cyclone
The vacuum that started a movement just got an upgrade!
The V8 Cyclone cordless vacuum now has more suction, more runtime, and a hot-swappable battery so cleaning marathons feel less like a workout.
Add a new triggerless button and three easy modes, and you’ve got a machine that’s as efficient as it is effortless.
Dyson V16 Piston Animal
Think of this as the heavyweight champ of vacuums. The V16 Piston Animal deep cleans every corner, picks up long hair without tangling, and even washes floors with its upgraded Submarine roller.
With a bin that holds up to 30 days of dust, it’s built for those who want their home to sparkle without constant emptying.
Dyson HushJet Purifier Compact
Who knew purifiers could be powerful and quiet? The HushJet is engineered to deliver whole-room purification while staying whisper soft, down to 24 dB in Sleep mode!
Small but mighty, it’s perfect for bedrooms, work-from-home nooks, or anywhere you crave fresh air without the fan noise.
Dyson Spot+Scrub AI robot
This is not your average robot vacuum. The Spot+Scrub uses AI stain detection to go back over stubborn marks until they’re spotless, plus it vacuums and washes floors at the same time.
It even cleans itself as it goes! Consider it your tireless little roommate who insists on tidiness.
Dyson Clean+Wash Hygiene
Wet cleaning, but make it hygienic. This lightweight cleaner ditches dirty filters in favor of a roller that refreshes with every pass, leaving floors streak-free and fresh. With a self-cleaning cycle, it’s as low-maintenance as it is effective.
Dyson PencilVac
Slimmer than your favorite tumbler at just 38mm, the PencilVac is Dyson’s most minimalist vacuum yet. It glides under low furniture, tackles mess in every direction, and still flexes laser dust detection. Proof that cleaning tools can double as design objects.
Dyson Cool CF1 and Dyson Hot+Cool HF1
Dyson’s bladeless icons are back with smart new tricks.
The Cool CF1 fan brings app-connected cooling with refined oscillation, while the Hot+Cool HF1 heats rooms faster and quieter than ever. These bring comfort and control, all from your phone.
Dyson Omega Nourishing Range
Yes, Dyson is doing haircare and it’s dreamy.
The Omega range blends seven omega-rich oils (including sunflower oil from Dyson’s own farms) into a hydrating hair oil and leave-in spray. It’s glossy, healthy hair bottled up, powered by a mix of science and sustainability.

This Glossy Pink OPPO Reno14 F 5G is giving pastel daydream vibes
A charming new shade that makes your phone feel like a treat!

A pastel-perfect phone with serious smarts
The Reno14 F 5G may look like a treat, but its features are all about performance. With AI Flash Photography, you can say goodbye to grainy low-light shots.
Even in dimly lit cafés or at golden hour, your photos stay bright, clear, and effortlessly flattering. Add AI Livephoto 2.0 into the mix, and even your candid memories come alive with detail.
Forget spending hours adjusting sliders. With AI Editor 2.0, the Reno14 F 5G polishes your shots with just a few taps. Whether you’re reframing or letting AI Recompose do the heavy lifting, your photos transform into scroll-stopping moments instantly.
Your candy-colored crush
Sweet on the outside, bold on the inside! This phone even lets you explore underwater worlds in 4K.
Thanks to its IP68/69 dust and water resistance, you can capture your next poolside hang or spontaneous lake adventure with clarity that feels almost cinematic.
At the end of the day, what makes this phone extra special is how it looks. The Glossy Pink finish is soft, stylish, and playful. It’s like a pastel accessory that complements your style while powering your creativity.
The OPPO Reno14 F 5G (8GB + 256GB) in Glossy Pink is now available nationwide for PhP 21,999 through OPPO Brand Stores and official e-commerce platforms. Until September 21, you can also enjoy bundle offers and flexible payment plans.
There’s a certain freedom that comes with not having to fuss over your earbuds.
The QCY Crossky C50 was built for people who move fast, whether that means sprinting through morning commutes, breezing through workouts, or slipping between errands.
With its open-ear clip-on design, this budget-friendly pair promises all-day comfort and practicality without sacrificing sound.
First Look
Style-wise, QCY pretty much nailed it with this clip-on iteration. The C50 launched in a clean, minimalist off-white finish with some leather-style textured panels — looking more expensive than its price tag.
Comfort-wise, the C50 features skin-friendly silicone combined with a memory titanium wire for a secure but pressure-free fit. Pop them on, and if you’re not listening to anything, you might even forget they’re there.
Seamless touch controls and dual-device connectivity powered by the latest Bluetooth 6.0 technology round out the package.
Although if you are new to clip-ons, coming from the traditional earbuds, finding the right tapping angle might take a little getting used to.
Thankfully, the QCY app lets you customize or even disable one-tap and double-tap gestures if you find yourself triggering them accidentally.
First Date
For an open-ear clip-on, the Crossky C50 puts up a competitive sound profile.
The bass has a solid punch without getting muddy, and doesn’t bleed into the vocals. The mids sound natural, with instruments sitting comfortably in the mix without drowning out the song.
And more importantly, the highs are clear and never goes into the harshness zone. Since this is an open-ear style, you’ll often need to push the volume higher depending on your environment.
The QCY app doesn’t offer a fully customizable EQ but does include preset “effects” like Pop, Bass Boost, Rock, and more; most of which don’t improve sound quality, except for Spatial Sound.
When enabled, Spatial Sound gives the illusion of a wider soundstage. Overall, it works pretty well but the vocals can take on a slightly echoey quality. Although not distracting enough to ruin the experience, it is definitely noticeable.
A single charge lasts a full workday. Give it just 10 minutes of juice, and you’re good to go for that two-hour commute home.
With up to 7.5 hours of listening per charge and 35 hours with the case, the C50 easily keeps pace with long days. The IPX5 water resistance also means it’s safe against sweat and light rain, making it a solid companion for both workouts and commutes.
First Impressions
With numerous open-ear and clip-on style earbuds available on the market, what sets the Crossky C50 apart is its magnetic contact self-adaptive technology and symmetrical cavity design.
Which means there is no fixed left or right earbud. Drop a bud into either side of the case, and the magnets instantly detect its position, remapping it automatically without needing to close the lid.
Thanks to the symmetrical design of both the case and the earbuds, you get so much convenience when you’re in a rush — or lazy. It’s super easy to pop them in your ears or drop them back into the case without fussing over which side is which.
The Crossky C50 nails that balanced mix of comfort, control, and value. It’s a strong entry point into that all-day, stay-aware listening experience. Plus, it’s only US$ 35.
