Already presented in China, the Honor Watch GS 3 shows itself again, but this time in anticipation of a launch on the European market at MWC 2022. We learn a little more about its technical sheet in passing.
During MWC 2022, Honor unveiled its new high-end connected watch, the Honor Watch GS 3, already presented in China. You can count on a 1.43 inch AMOLED screen (326 DPI), with a theoretical maximum brightness of 1000 cd / m².
This model resembles the Honor Watch GT 3 in more than one respect, except for micro differences in its measurements and its weight, which is barely two grams more.
Its screen is also in 2.5D, that is to say that it extends to the edges of the case, which its colleague from Huawei did not offer. In terms of materials, Honor promises top of the range with 316L stainless steel.
Good autonomy and precision on the program
We are also promised a fairly significant autonomy with more than 30 hours of use with GPS and activity tracking.
The Chinese firm also promises finer precision in activity monitoring. The watch, for example, incorporates better GPS tracking, which is supposed to be 167% more precise and 47% faster to fix than on the Honor Watch GS 2.
Honor also mentions a “eight-channel PPG (for photoplethysmographic) detection module”a somewhat complicated jargon to say that the watch should better measure cardiac activity or even SPO2.

Still on the beats per minute measurement front, the Honor Watch GS 3 also incorporates an AI-based monitoring engine. His role ? Suppress noise during exercise and so “improve the accuracy of the monitoring function» of the watch and therefore «better monitor the state of healthof the wearer.
More broadly, more than 100 sports modes are announced with 6 sports detected automatically.
