Reviewing the Honor Watch GS 3, a fresh 2022 smartwatch boasting some of the best looks and smart fitness features. For a budget under £200 this is a top choice if you're after a slim, attractive design - but the Honor Watch GS 3 doesn't boast pro features like contactless NFC payments in the UK. It's also Android only, no iOS app support.
Still, if you can overlook that and the lack of a built-in voice assistant or interactive notifications, there's loads to love here. This smartwatch is tough despite its classic looks, with three colour choices. I love the gold Honor Watch GS3, but all three pack a gorgeous AMOLED screen. Performance is smooth and battery life is among the best in 2022. You can get at least 4-5 days of play even with very heavy use, or over a week if you're a bit more restrained.
Of course, the GS 3 does have a lot of strong competition. Huawei's own smartwatches also offer long battery life and good value for a lower budget. Then there's Android Wear alternatives, although these tend to need charging nightly.
