Huawei WATCH 3 returns after four years:Support temperature detection, too many surprises

2021June 2,At the Huawei new product launch conference,The newly upgraded flagship smartwatch of the year-Huawei WATCH 3 series officially unveiled。This is the first time in four years,The return of Huawei's digital flagship watches。
Huawei's WATCH digital series product line is actually the earliest smart watch released by Huawei,After launching two consecutive generations of products that year,Huawei switched to developing WATCH GT series products that focus on battery life,Relying on significant longboard advantages to achieve rapid growth in the wearable device market。
After four years,Huawei restarts Huawei WATCH digital series,Not only equipped with HarmonyOS,Active health management functions are also fully upgraded。Everything here shows that this new product is not small,Behind the scenes or Huawei's strategic thinking on the precise layout of the new circle of people。
1、Why did the Huawei WATCH digital series return after four years?
Users may be able to tolerate "one charge per day" mobile phones,But it’s definitely hard to tolerate a "one-a-day" watch。If smart wearable devices need frequent charging,Then its ultimate destination is likely to be placed in an inconspicuous corner to "eat ashes"。
Because for most users,The "decorative attributes" of smart watches in most scenarios are greater than the "functional attributes",It’s not as important as a smartphone。Frequent charging will only make users lose their patience with smart watch products。
To make technology products truly improve the quality of life of consumers,First of all, we have to make technology products "live well and not stick to people"。
If it’s a battery life that is charged once a day,So it serves me,Or do I serve it? Therefore, under the product logic of "battery life priority",It can be seen that Huawei’s WATCH GT series products quickly received enthusiastic response in the market。
Not long ago,Authoritative consulting agency IDC released the "Quarterly Tracking Report on China's Wearable Device Market,2020The fourth quarter of the year,Data Display,Huawei's wearable device shipments are 6.76 million units,9.4% year-on-year increase,Market share reached 22.3%,Ranked No. 1 in shipments for four consecutive quarters。
The report also pointed out,WATCH GT series watches with a two-week battery life have become its main source of growth。
And at this Harmony OS and Huawei full-scene new product launch conference,After a lapse of four years, Huawei once again released the WATCH digital series of watches featuring "intelligence" experience,And on the basis of the existing advantages of long battery life,Problem-solving market strategy with interconnected ecology and health management。
At this press conference,Huawei Consumer Business COO He Gang emphasized:"Smart wearable devices are the only smart devices that can be in close contact with users 24 hours a day,It will record your blood oxygen saturation for 24 hours、Heart rate、pressure、Health information such as sleep。”
So under this set of product logic,Huawei WATCH 3 series continues the long battery life gene of GT series。
Rely on Huawei's first dual-core architecture,Huawei WATCH 3 Pro can support 5 days long battery life in smart typical mode,Support 21 days in long battery life mode。Huawei WATCH 3 can support 3 days of long battery life in smart typical mode,Support 14 days in long battery life mode。
Such a high level of endurance,It can basically ensure that users wear it all day long,Cover leisure、Office、Sports and all other scenes。
The ability to be online all the time,It can even make users unaware of its existence,Because the longer the charging interval,The user does not need to perform frequent removal operations,The user experience is naturally improved。

2、Can long battery life and intelligence really not coexist?
The market demand for smart watches is more than just long battery life,But also a more intelligent functional experience。
But high intelligence means high computing,High computing means high energy consumption、Low battery life,This seems to be an irreconcilable contradiction。
Take Apple Watch as an example,This product supports third-party apps,Can also call、Texting,Like a smart phone,But Apple's official website shows,When it uses GPS and LTE networks for outdoor training,The longest battery life is only 6 hours。
How to solve the contradiction between long battery life and intelligence,The answer given by the Huawei Watch 3 series is:HarmonyOS。
Huawei has repeatedly emphasized,HarmonyOS is more than just a smartphone operating system,It is an operating system for the Internet of Things era,Can be mounted on various IoT devices。
Smart watches are actually a typical IoT application scenario,Relatively low performance requirements,Functions don’t need to be as complicated as smartphones,But for stability、Ease of use、Connectivity、Higher power consumption control requirements,And these problems that the Android system can’t solve,HarmonyOS can solve。
3、Huawei WATCH 3 series with HarmonyOS,What is a smarter experience?
Huawei divides the intelligence of the WATCH 3 series into three capabilities,They are HarmonyOS's own capabilities、Third-party software capabilities,And full-scene capability,The three capabilities together form the ecological capabilities of the Huawei WATCH 3 series。
HarmonyOS own capabilities include information center、control center、Meta service、Custom card、Sports Health App、Gesture control、Unlimited call、Family Concern、Watch control car, etc.。
in,Harmony OS meta service relies on the distributed capabilities of HarmonyOS,Let the watch automatically flow without installing APP,Computing power provided by mobile phone,The watch only serves as an outlet for the flow of information and provides simple input and other purely interactive operations。
Huawei WATCH 3 series supports more third-party application software in this way,Can reduce its own power consumption,So as to ensure battery life。
Consumers often use "whether they support third-party apps" to measure the level of intelligence of a watch,After all, the more third-party apps,It means the more functions of the device。
With the support of HarmonyOS,Huawei WATCH 3 series also supports a large number of third-party apps,Including our Wechat、Alipay、Didi Travel、Head applications such as Baidu Maps。
also,In health、Office、life、In various scenes such as games,Huawei WATCH 3 series with Harmony OS,There are also special apps to provide services for users。
for example,When you own a Huawei WATCH 3 series watch,There is no need to take out your mobile phone to check vehicle dynamics frequently when waiting for online car-hailing during peak hours,Just raise your wrist,You can check the distance of the driver from the watch at a glance,And vehicle dynamics and other information。
also,We need to make it clear once again that HarmonyOS is an operating system for the Internet of Things era,Intelligent for different devices、Interconnection and collaboration provide a unified language,Its ultimate goal is to realize the Internet of Everything。therefore,Huawei WATCH 3 series can not only deeply link with smartphones,More able to play the full-scene capability of 1+8+N,Provide users with a seamless switching cross-screen experience。
In the past,We see Huawei phones、PC、flat、High efficiency is achieved between large and small screen products such as smart screens、Low-latency multi-screen capability,Reaping praise from users。
Huawei calls this capability "hyperterminal",Use HarmonyOS to realize the sharing of software and hardware resources between devices,Improve operation efficiency。
So when Huawei WATCH 3 series is added to "Super Terminal",What interesting chemical reactions will occur?
Actually,Huawei has realized remote control of mobile phone photography on the WATCH GT series、Voice control IOT device、Basic interconnection functions such as music control。
And the Huawei WATCH 3 series that built the upgraded HarmonyOS,Have richer interconnection functions,For example, after wearing a watch,No need to unlock your phone to control smart home devices throughout the house,Including lighting、Security、surroundings、clean、Energy saving、Almost all ecological products such as smart screens,Preliminary realization of a wrist-centric Internet of Everything scenario。
When you park in an unfamiliar garage,If you can't find your car,HUAWEI WATCH 3 series can also control the car to sound the car hunting whistle、Flashing light to find location。From the perspective of Huawei’s ability to plan for HarmonyOS,At present, the equipment linkage capability of the WATCH 3 series is only the "tip of the iceberg"。
As more and more products will be connected to the ecosystem in the future,Cross-device connection between different devices,Can create more usage scenarios,Will greatly facilitate our life and work。
4、Strengthen active health management services,Explore the true value of smart watches
Huawei WATCH series has met the long battery life、Intelligent market requirements,So what then? As a smart device,If it only achieves long battery life and intelligence,What is the difference between it and a smart phone?
Huawei repeatedly emphasized at the press conference,“watch is watch”,Watch as an independent terminal should play a unique ecological value,Not a substitute for mobile phones,Not a vassal。
So in Huawei’s view,The biggest value of smart watches is that they can stick to the skin at all times,So as to detect health data for users at all times。
Huawei has always attached great importance to the health management functions of smart watches in the past。2017year,When Huawei released WATCH 2, it was already infused with the concept of health,And continues to the present。He Gang, COO of Huawei's Consumer Business, released a Weibo statement earlier this year:"recent years,Huawei has done a lot of research on active health management。From the 2018 Heart Health Research,Sleep apnea research by 2019,The vascular health research in 2020,We never stop exploring。”
Actually,In the past, the hot sales of the WATCH GT series were partly due to battery life.,There is also partly due to Huawei's deep accumulation in the health field。
Huawei's currently released wearable devices,Most of them support heart rate monitoring、Blood oxygen saturation monitoring and other functions。
And 301 Hospital based on the heart health research and sleep apnea research initiated by Huawei wearable devices,It also enables Huawei smart watches to support the functions of "arrhythmia monitoring" and "sleep apnea risk screening"。
The above health management functions have been fully inherited by the just released Huawei WATCH 3 series,Not only that,This time also added skin temperature monitoring、Blood glucose management realized by cooperating with three-party minimally invasive blood glucose testing equipment、Fall detection and other functions。
How important are these health management functions? Imagine a scene like this:When you have elderly people in your family,Body is not too tough,And you can’t be with you all the time because of your busy schedule。If the old man accidentally falls at home,Or other acute symptoms have occurred,What should you do at this time?
If you wear Huawei WATCH 3 series smart watches for the elderly,The ending may be completely different。
Huawei WATCH 3 series supports fall detection and SOS function,When the user is detected to fall,Will automatically enter the distress mode,"Emergency call" selected by the user "falls down,Three modes of "but it's okay" or "I didn't fall"。
Since Huawei WATCH 3 series supports eSim independent call function,So when the elderly in the family have an accident,You can quickly send information to emergency contacts through the minimalist operation on the watch。
60 seconds after falling,If the wearer has not selected any mode,The watch will automatically call the first emergency contact,And send a help message(Contains current location information)To all emergency contacts。
Not only that,WATCH 3 series of smart watches after downloading Dingdong Quick Medicine,It can also remind users to take medicine on time、Drink water,Intimate like a life assistant。
We used to think,The elderly are a neglected group in the Internet age,Did not enjoy the dividends of technological development。
But now the Huawei WATCH 3 series is more intelligent、Convenient operation experience,Let the elderly also enjoy the convenience brought by technological advancement,This also proves that Huawei has truly practiced "bringing the digital world into everyone's healthy life."。
5、Concluding remarks:watch is watch
What kind of smart watch can be called the flagship product of the year?
High-profile persuade users to make purchase decisions,Long battery life to ensure user activity,Cross-device interconnection ecology and active health management functions,It comprehensively enhances the value of smart watches。These Huawei Watch 3 series have all done it。
And under Huawei’s “watch is watch” watchmaking philosophy,Huawei has also found the core value of smart watches independent of smart phones-health management。
Through years of continuous and deep cultivation in the health field,Huawei has promoted the "health management" capabilities of the WATCH 3 series to a height that is unattainable by others,Completed the evolution of Huawei's smart watch "internal and external repair",Make it the deepest "moat" of Huawei's smart wearable devices。
