Flagship in America is full of options like smartwatch market Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, Apple Watch Series 10Google Pixel Watch 3, and many more. However, none of these flagship smartwatch works with both ecosystems (Android and iOS). For that, you have to rely on brands such as gamin and Amazafit, or in some countries, Huawei, a brand that lost its leg in America a few years ago.

I spent a week using Huawei’s new watch 5 Google Pixel Watch 3A smartwatch that I have loved in the last one year to find out if you are really missing – and here is everything you need to know.

The future of gadgets can just rest on this strange smartwatch

Pable’s surprise return is exactly what Smartwatch Landscape needs right now.

Huawei Watch 5 gets the design correct

Rightly, but still a smartwatch

The reasons for which I love Pixel Watch 3, compared to one of them Apple Watch Ultra Or Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is its minimum design. Unlike those smartwatches – and even some garmin models – most of the flagship smartwatch in the US bends in a sporty design that shouts “smartwatch” from a mile. Pixel watchHowever, a simple, minimum design has been maintained from the beginning, and that is why it has been my favorite for a long time.

Until I raised the Huawei Watch 5, I have been testing the smartwatch for a few years, and I have never seen a nail like this. Huawei watch 5 clings to a traditional clock beauty, while you distribute all smartwatch features. I have lost the count of how many times people have contacted me wearing it, wonder it is a smartwatch.

For nuances, Huawei Watch 5 comes in several finish, including stainless steel, aerospace-grade titanium, and ceramics for the back. Strap options include a metal link bracelet, a sporty black strap and a vegetarian leather composite band – he is currently using (shown above). It comes in 42 mm and 46 mm sizes respectively, with 1.38-inch and 1.52-inch displays respectively.

Meanwhile, the pixel watch is available in 3 41 mm and 45 mm sizes, but only provides strips of silicon-type in different colors.

A lot of the success of the design of Huawei Watch 5 comes down to perform a lot. Huawei has used a luxurious Ltpo 2.0 OLED display with 3,000 Nits Peak Brightness (Pixel Watch 3 to 1,000 Nits). It also appears easily in rigid outdoor lighting and supports a high refreshing rate.

In addition, it is protected by a dome -shaped glass attached to stainless steel on all sides, providing greater strength than the Pixel Watch 3, which is exposed around the glass edges.

Now, one of my long -standing complaints with Pixel Watch is its charging mechanism. Despite being a major product, it still uses a four-pin magnetic charging puck that only adds to a specific orientation (digital crowns facing cables). This is no problem at Galaxy Watch 5 or Apple WatchAnd even Huawei Watch 5, which uses all magnetic connectors that are strong and work in any orientation.

It is there: 5 ways it excludes the wearable smartwatch

A smartwatch can still win under some circumstances, but here why I never go back to a distracted watch.

Health tracking feels more complete on Huawei Watch 5

This includes all the basics – and then something

When? Google captures fitbit In 2021, I hoped that the Pixel Watch lineup would be greatly benefited from the acquisition and would easily cross the contestants in health tracking – and it did some extent. However, recently, it seems that the benefits are beginning to fade.

Sure, Pixel Watch 3 tracks all types of health data, including sleep and almost every workout type. But many advanced facilities are closed behind Premium subscription of fitbitThe price of which is around $ 130 per year in the US. It seems to be standing, especially you do not require membership for health-tracking features when you buy a smartwatch.

On the other hand, Huawei Watch 5, not only the basics, but moves forward. It provides step tracking, workout tracking with more than a hundred mode, detailed sleep tracking, and extra skin temperature sensors and GPS-based outdoor activity tracking. But the real game-changer is located on the edge of the clock.

To ignore 4 while shopping for fitness tracker

Keep your money where it will do the best by ignoring the characteristics you probably will not use.

The Huawei Watch 5 has a new ex-tap engine, which goes one step ahead in terms of health tracking by adding a dedicated fingertip sensor next to the digital crown. While the clock still uses a sensor on the back to measure blood oxygen levels and heart rates, this fingertip sensor allows more accurate readings, similarly how doctors take measurement in clinical settings.

Huawei claims that the data collected through the fingertip sensor alone is more accurate than the reading taken from the wrist sensor. However, in my experience, the fingertip reading on Watch 5 was quite close to the reading on the Pixel Watch 3, which uses only rear sensors for the Vitals tracking.

Software is smooth, even without third party app

You won’t really miss the third-party store

Now, one of the major benefits of using Wear OS Smartwatch such as Pixel Watch 3 or Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is accessible to Google Play Store and a wide range of third -party apps. In contrast, Huawei Watch 5 runs runs on the company’s own hormones. And, as required, there is no access to the Play Store (or any Google service).

Initially, I thought it would be a major shortage, given how much I depend on Google’s ecosystem. But for my surprise, I once did not feel the absence of third-party apps. You can technically install apps through Huawei Appgallery on Watch 5, but major apps like Google Maps and YouTube Music are missing.

In the context of the purpose, however, the software seems smooth and liquid. I did not experience any major gitors compared to Pixel Watch 3. In fact, the wearing OS has developed as a more minimal and simple platform, while at Watch 5 manages a good balance between hormonous simplicity and convenience prosperity.

Navigation is also quite familiar. Like the Pixel Watch 3, a swipe down brings quick settings such as Wi-Fi, brightness, and finds my phone. The swiping up shows the notification, while the left and right swipe cycle through cards such as calendar, weather and activity rings. Overall, the experience was not very different from what has been used by what experiences used on Pixel Watch 3.

However, Huawei Watch 5 is the most important advantage of smartwatch, its cross-platform compatibility. It originally works with both Android and iOS. While many smartwatches are bound by their ecosystem, such as Galaxy watches work best with Samsung phones, Watch 5 can pair with any smartphone using Huawei Health App. Such flexibility should adopt some more smartwatch.

Huawei Watch 5 sounds like a full package

Overall, I will be honest – I love Google Pixel Watch 3. The way it integrates with me Pixel 9 Pro And those who provide the features, all love me with the Pixel Watch 3 while maintaining a minimum form. However, the use of both smartwatches for about two weeks, I must say that Huawei Watch 5 has come close to replace the Pixel Watch 3 on my wrist, as is in the form of any other gadget.

Certainly, there are some opposition about Huawei Watch 5: I am not a fan of its weight, which is much heavier than the Pixel Watch 3, and the battery life is not very good. But despite these shortcomings, I think I have finally found my Pixel Watch 3 replacement.
