Watch Your Wellness: The Huawei Watch Fit 3 Answers Women’s Fitness Prayers

As someone who trains twice a day, six times a week, I take my health and recovery as seriously as I do personal bests, timings and nutrition. This year alone I have completed the London Marathon and Hyrox London, and will soon complete all 100 miles of Ride London on a bike. As a result, I’ve had to get to grips with a training plan, workout routine, and nutrition advice that’ll take me from start to finish line without enduring injury, burnout, and boredom along the way.

But like many people who enjoy fitness, the early days of my health journey were embarrassingly novice, combined with a severe lack of self-education on the importance of fuelling correctly (turns out a burger doesn’t positively affect endurance) and prioritising sleep as much as time on the treadmill. I’ve often found myself at a loss at where to find a reliable, affordable and above all simple way to learn more about my body, its capabilities and its limitations. Enter the Huawei Watch Fit 3, which wraps up a suite of powerful tracking and coaching tools into a chic, minimalist package.

What is the Huawei Watch Fit 3?

If you haven’t joined the legion of gym bunnies adorned with a smartwatch on their wrist, then it’s time to get with the programme. The Watch Fit 3 is a square smartwatch which includes a wealth of health and fitness features that make you feel like you’ve got a personalised nutritionist, physiotherapist, gynaecologist and personal trainer at your side, 24-7. Not to mention, its ultra-slim design makes it supremely wearable all day long.

Along with a newly improved Activity Rings feature – which gives you an at-a-glance view of your calories burned, time spent exercising and active minutes – the Watch Fit 3 also introduces AI-powered intelligent workout alerts, which help users to meet their goals and close out their rings, offering exercise suggestions based on past activities.

When it comes to nutrition, it’s important to know your calorie deficit from your protein intake when training for the likes of a marathon, swim or cycle race. Fortunately, the Watch Fit 3 features a new Stay Fit app which helps you to manage your nutrition goals and view them against your calories burned. It sends alerts to keep wearers on track with their targets in an effective and less invasive (read: less patronising) manner compared to traditional nutrition programmes.

As for recovery, the watch’s TruSeen 5.5 sensors provide in-depth sleep analysis, including sleep efficiency (how much time in bed is spent actually sleeping) and sleep latency (time it takes to fall asleep). It also detects sleep breathing interruptions (a symptom of sleep apnea) and upon waking gives you a comprehensive evaluation of how beneficial your shut-eye is on your overall wellness, along with tailored sleep advice to ensure optimal recovery.

Why is the Huawei Watch Fit 3 revolutionary for women?

By now you’ve likely tried a menstrual tracking app or planner to better understand your cycle. However, if you’ve grown tired of the vague and often generalised interpretation of symptoms, from cramping to ovulation windows, then it’s time to rethink the way you monitor your reproductive health.

The Watch Fit 3 integrates advanced features for menstrual cycle management through its calendar view, which allows users to see their current, previous and upcoming cycle, as well as record their symptoms directly from the watch (think flow intensity and menstrual pain). Better yet, the watch takes into account where you are in your cycle and adapts its activity suggestions accordingly, including by offering relaxing stretching exercises.

Additionally, its ability to track running routes and share recommended trails from other users means that you can exercise safe in the knowledge that your location and return point can be monitored and logged.

A fashion-forward smartwatch

Despite its larger-than-ever screen, the Watch Fit 3 is incredibly lightweight, and is Huawei’s thinnest square smartwatch to date. It comes in a variety of colourways with multiple straps included to choose from, and gives you the option to choose between different watch faces, meaning you can prioritise style and substance while matching your watch to your outfit at the click of a button.

The Watch Fit 3 also has an impressive 10-day battery life (almost unheard of in the wearable tech space). This is fashion-forward fitness like you’ve never seen it before.
