Huawei has been giving us the best choices for stylish timepieces to help us reach our health and fitness goals. And they’re taking the stage again with their new flagship smartwatch — the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro.

Now let’s take a closer look at this device and check what Huawei has in store for us this time.

Unboxing

The GT 3 Pro comes in this sleek black box with the name of the device in gold. Through the box, we also get to know that it is powered by HarmonyOS.

Lifting the cover, you’re immediately greeted by the GT 3 Pro Titanium Edition looking classy beside a gold Huawei logo.

Pulling the tab on the right, you’ll see a smaller enclosure. Opening it up, you’ll see some paperwork, a USB-C cable and a wireless charging cradle.

Now here’s the GT 3 Pro taken out of the box. Looks premium, doesn’t it?

By examining the watch strap, you can easily tell that it’s made of genuine high-quality leather.

The Huawei branding is not seen on the strap. It’s instead engraved on the buckle.

Also unlike the previous GT 2 Pro that has the usual double crown design, the GT 3 Pro has a watch crown and a button.

The rotating crown serves as its power button and scroll and zoom wheel. Rotating it feels smooth without much resistance. But it does have haptic feedback, mimicking a mechanical feel.

Powering it up, you’re notified to get the Huawei Health app and pair it with your phone.

Once paired, you can tinker with the settings and apply customizations based on your preference and liking.

First impressions

What I immediately liked with the GT 3 Pro is how classy it looks. And despite it being a big smartwatch compared to what I usually use, it feels light on my wrist.

I also can’t help but admire how clean and clear it looks with its 1.43-inch AMOLED display and sapphire glass lens.

Its body, on the other hand, is made of titanium and it has a ceramic back case to complete the premium package.

Using it for a few days, it looks like this timepiece will definitely level up my expectations for smartwatches. But I have yet to fully explore and experience everything about the GT 3 Pro that I’ll share on my hands-on review so don’t forget to also check that out.

Pricing and availability

The Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro retails for PhP 16,999 and is available in Titanium and Ceramic Edition.

The HONOR Magic V2 RSR will make your heart race

Porsche Design is sexy

Special Editions smartphones are almost always nice to look at. But usually, they’re also nothing more than aesthetic overhauls. That’s not exactly the case with the incredibly sexy and unbelievably tough HONOR Magic V2 RSR. It’s HONOR’s first foldable collaboration with Porsche Design.

We’ve already talked extensively about the Magic V2. If you want that more in-depth look, you can check out our review. In a separate tab, of course.

REVIEW: HONOR Magic V2: My rebound foldable

Some of the new things you get with the Magic V2 RSR package are two power bricks and a stylus. Watch the unboxing below and bask in its beauty.

The Magic Pen

The included stylus called the Magic Pen also looks just as sexy. It comes with an elegant case and can be charged separately via USB-C. Just flip out the back end of the pen to reveal the port. It’s a fine addition if you tend to sign many documents on your device or if you’re an artist. If not, it’s still a nice-to-have accessory.

More importantly, the inclusion of the stylus reinforces HONOR’s belief in how tough the screens are on this luxury foldable.

NanoCrystal Shield

The HONOR Magic V2 RSR is more than meets the eye. Reinforcing the screens, HONOR used Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield on the foldable’s displays. In keeping with the theme of the phone, the whole process in leveling up the display’s defenses is akin to a process also applied with cars.

All told, what you need to know is that HONOR was confident enough to suggest that we try to scratch the display with a sandpaper sheet and or marble or asphalt surface. Here in GadgetMatch, we care too much about the device to do that… Although, the Magic V2 RSR did survive a couple of accidental drops with the display hitting the ground first. It came out unscathed.

Asphalt 9: Legends on the Magic V2 RSR

Speaking of Asphalt, HONOR also worked with Gameloft for an optimized version of our favorite racing test game – Asphalt 9: Legends.

Not only will the game seamlessly fit the foldable’s aspect ratio, it’ll also take advantage of its computing power and GPU to render the game at 120fps and a higher resolution.

They also reimagined physical textures with GPU-based edge construction technology, before integrating the graphics rendering capabilities of foldable devices with AI.

The same reliable book-style foldable

Do you recall how in the movie Avengers: Infinity War after Peter Parker/Spider-Man wore the Iron Spider Suit he said, “It smells like a new car in here.” That’s what the Magic V2 RSR feels like.

Functionally, it’s the same excellent foldable. It has unlocked mobile worked possibilities for me and has been a consistent companion as sort of a secondary screen when I’m toiling away on my main laptop.

When out and about, I can continue using it like I would a regular slate smartphone and no one would think it was any different. But if I wanted to, I can break the ice and unfold to, well, show-off. Something I like to do when the opportunity arises.

In our earlier review, we already called the Magic V2 as easily one of the best foldables out right now. The Magic V2 RSR comes in with the same functions but with a new coat of paint that’s undeniably sleek.

The HONOR Magic V2 RSR is the same powerful, reliable, and impossibly slim book-style foldable but in a brand new suit. The mere sight of it will make your heart race. But you’ll feel the speed even more once you integrate it into your life.
