07 May 2024

Huawei hosted an event in Dubai today, unveiling several its latest smart band, a tablet and two laptops to the international audience. Meet the Watch Fit 3, now sporting a square shape and design strongly reminiscent of the Apple Watch.

The MatePad 11.5" S PaperMatte tablet also began its international rollout alongside the Matebook X Pro 2024 featuring an Intel Ultra chipset. Additionally, Huawei introduced the Matebook 14, powered by 13th gen Core i5/Core i7 CPUs.

The Watch Fit 3 is incredibly lightweight and thin, weighing only 26 grams (without the strap) and boasting a profile of just 9.9 mm. Its 1.82” AMOLED screen features curved edges on all four sides, providing a screen-to-body ratio of 77.4%.

The wearable's software resembles that of other Huawei GT smartwatches, offering sleep tracking, breathing awareness, TruSeen 5.5 heart rate monitoring with impressive accuracy, over 100 activity modes, and more than 660 workout courses.

An updated feature on the Watch Fit 3 is the Calorie Counter, first introduced on the Watch GT4 in September 2023. Thanks to the new screen, the Watch Fit 3 offers improved UX visuals, a full design revamp, rich colors, and enlarged fonts.
