appearance

Color paper cover, with white hard box inside. Miniaturized magnetic charger with 80cm line length.


Business watch style, silver frosted body, 2.5D glass.

Compared with the previous GTR 2/2e series, the ears and keys of the GTR 3 series are more rounded. After the proportion of GTR 3 Pro screen is increased, the scale decoration on the dial is cancelled. The newly added rotating crown (click to enter the application list) has beveled threads and red circle decoration on the inside.



The appearance of Huami's GTR series is similar to that of Samsung Galaxy Watch Active series, mainly because Huami has more rotating watch crowns, more rounded corners and slightly higher screen share.

The 10.7mm body is close to the Galaxy Watch Active2. The main reason why GTR 3 Pro is thinner than Samsung is that Huami's metal watch case is narrower. The difference in visual guidance between the two models is somewhat similar to the new and old MacBook Pro.


The left and upper openings of the "Plastic" rear cover may be the air holes of the air pressure and temperature sensors, and the right side is the speaker. The middle is the 6PD (6-channel) sensor that Huami is proud of. It is also a plastic sensor cover plate, which is easy to scratch.

In order to balance functions and endurance, Huami has developed its own Zepp OS system, which is positioned between Wear OS (with many functions but weak endurance) and RTOS (with strong endurance but weak function).

The prominent feature of Zepp OS system is that it has a surprising number of adjustable items. The setting item is Wear OS more than watchOS. Although there are not many apps (there are only 10 apps in the mass production app store), it is more like a "smart watch" than the Android/wear OS watch based on the number of adjustable items.

To go through and understand the functional hierarchy, it will take us who read countless machines 1 or 2 hours. Fortunately, almost all settings of Zepp OS, including its own applications, can be modified on the mobile phone APP without touching the watch.

In addition to the conventional display (AOD, the time period and sensitivity when the hand is raised), sound, notification, exercise, and health settings:

  1. There are 155 dials (including 15 dynamic dials), each of which has a corresponding AOD off screen dial;

  2. In the positioning function, GPS/Beidou/Galileo/GLONASS, the matching, accuracy and speed preference of four kinds of satellite positioning are optional;

  3. Extremely rare exercise heart rate broadcast and real-time data access function (mainly for developers);

  4. The functions triggered by the left and right screen, negative screen, application list, short press and long press of up/down buttons on the dial are often 30 or 40 functions;

  5. "Incoming call, SMS, schedule, to-do, alarm clock, APP, cursor, standing reminder", all of the eight notification types, and the vibration mode can be customized, and it is the kind of manual recording, with a maximum of 10 seconds of vibration recording, which is fun.

More than 150 kinds of sports record modes, including chess, card and e-sports, and even subdivided into chess, go and checkers, which makes us silly ↑



GTR 3 Pro automatically recorded cycling data ↑

GTR 3 Pro is the best in automatic motion monitoring among domestic watches, which may not be one of them. The current version can automatically identify 8 kinds of sports, including "walking, indoor walking, outdoor running, treadmill, outdoor riding, swimming in the pool, elliptical machine and rowing machine". The exercise mode will start after walking/cycling for about 1 minute to increase the frequency of heart rate detection and record the GPS track. The data type is consistent with the manual exercise mode.

It is recommended to turn off the "motion recognition reminder", so that there will be no "pop-up window asking whether to start recording", and the watch can also be used normally during the movement (the manual movement mode will occupy the front desk to display the steps, step frequency, heart rate and other data), so that you will be clear from now on.

Compared with more motion monitoring modes (although offline voice command triggering is now supported), the automatic monitoring function should be more practical. After all, normal people do not deliberately set their watches before sports as in the promotional video.

The automatic recording has three levels of adjustable sensitivity. The daily middle gear is enough, Walking 300 meters to eat will be recorded (However, the distance is too short. After deducting the time for recognition and waiting, the moving distance will always be shorter than the actual distance.). A few steps to commute can produce sports records, which greatly Satisfied my vanity It has promoted my enthusiasm for sports, especially when I squint my eyes or drink cola, I can imagine that I am more active and healthy with satisfaction.

The GTR 3 Pro is equipped with GPS+Beidou and other four-star positioning, which is accurate even if the power is consumed and the functions are fully opened. I use the "GPS+speed priority" which is the second to last gear. Sometimes, the positioning will drift to the opposite side of the road, but it is better than power saving. It allows me to charge less, which is more practical than anything else.

By the way, the GTR 3 Pro has a temperature sensor, and the watch can see the detailed temperature curve of the whole day. stay In winter, it will know better than our parents whether we are warm enough. But Huami didn't do cloud synchronization for temperature data! Watching the temperature data come and go every day, nothing is left, and my heart is wrenching.


As the blood pressure screening function of the new machine, the principle of blind guess should be to use AI model to compare and correlate the data of the optical sensor with the blood pressure. Samsung Galaxy Watch has been equipped with similar technology before (the crazier Omron HeartGuide watch, which uses traditional inflatable blood pressure measurement, resulting in a very pompous strap shape/body shape).

The optical solutions of Huami and Samsung do not sacrifice the appearance of the products, but both need to use traditional sphygmomanometers for regular calibration (every 28 days). Different from Samsung, the measurement accuracy of Huami official standard is far higher than that of Samsung, with both systolic and diastolic blood pressure less than 5.3mmHg, which is the level of medical class A sphygmomanometers. Many outpatient sphygmomanometers are only A and B+, and domestic sphygmomanometers are only C types.

The blood pressure screening function of the retail version is expected to be launched in November OTA (after participating in the blood pressure screening study). The measurement experience is similar to that of heart rate/blood oxygen measurement. Don't move, don't talk, and wait 30 seconds. The result is also very close to that of the traditional sphygmomanometer. However, there is no hypertension sample around, and we cannot make a comparative judgment.

In principle, the measurement accuracy will be limited by the traditional sphygmomanometer used for calibration, and it is a special function for special personnel. Users who intend to use it as an assistant should pay attention to this functional feature. They need to use a higher type of sphygmomanometer for calibration and increase the calibration frequency.

Even though the current blood pressure measurement is not as convenient as the public expected (regular calibration is required), it is indeed a blood pressure measurement program with the least sacrifice. It can be measured at any time and anywhere without additional equipment or bandages. It is very practical for the majority of people with hypertension/hypotension. It is expected that there will be more affordable products with lower calibration requirements in the future.


Basic experience report


  1. Workmanship: The watch case seam control is excellent, and the sensor and speaker holes are deep and wide, which is easy to accumulate dust. The damping of the digital watch crown is appropriate, and the crown head is slightly absent. The leather strap is relatively thick, and the quality and touch are OK;

  2. Wear: The aluminum alloy is good, with a naked weight of 32g, close to the weight of the quartz watch, and no obvious drag feeling when shaking. The dial diameter is 46mm, slightly smaller than the 46.4mm of the previous generation, and slightly larger than the 45.8mm of the GTR 3. Men wear it just fine, but women are expected to look bigger. Except that the heart rate sensor is relatively large and airtight, it feels good to wear it on the whole, and it won't hurt to sleep when wearing it;


  3. Screen: 1.45 inch 480x480331ppi, global brightness 500nit, maximum 1000nit, and certain readability at noon. Although the Delta arrangement is discounted at 6.7%, the screen is beautiful and transparent, which is a good screen;

  4. External release and vibration: The extreme volume is OK, without obvious broken sound. You can also hear the phone outside (applicable to patients with social bully syndrome). It's just good to adjust the volume of 20% in the office environment as a prompt sound. The force of linear motor is medium and weak, and the vibration is not crisp enough, mainly due to the lack of system cooperation. There is only one kind of vibration force, and the vibration feedback with the rotating watch crown is sluggish, which needs to be improved by OTA;

  5. Hands up: The second gear is adjustable, with medium sensitivity, slightly faster than OPPO Watch and slower than Apple Watch. If the time is viewed at high frequency, the AOD off screen display must be kept open. The good news is that each dial of the GTR 3 Pro has a corresponding AOD mode. There are many styles, some of which are colored. However, it is recommended to choose a small white dial to save electricity.

  6. System smoothness: Most of the surface interface pages can maintain 60 frames, and the operation response is not fast;

  7. Endurance: This generation of battery is smaller, but its endurance is longer, probably because of the self developed system. The official standard of GTR 3 Pro lasts for 12 days, slightly less than the previous generation GTR 2, and far less than the 21 days of GTR 3. The actual performance is still slow. The ultra severe mode of AOD (sleep for 8 hours and close)+automatic health monitoring fully open+automatic motion recognition+offline voice and other functions fully open is about 4 days for three consecutive tests (sleep for 8 hours consumes 5% of electricity, and the rest of the time consumes about 1% per hour). If AOD is off, it is also set to run for 7 days. When the power is lower than 10%, the power saving mode prompt window will pop up. In the basic mode (only step counting and sleep are reserved), 1% - 2% of the power is lost after 12 hours.

    Unless it moves frequently, the automatic motion monitoring will not consume too much power. It is recommended to turn it on. The official standard 12 days is the result of turning off AOD and automatic health monitoring, but with the GTR 3 Pro's endurance, it is possible to keep automatic health monitoring fully open, which is not a loss.

  8. charge: Faster than expected. The ordinary 5V 2A "fast charging head" and the USB 3.1 interface charging of the computer are not very different. The charging time is 15% in 10 minutes, 32% in 20 minutes, 50% in 30 minutes (Apple knows better), 72% in 45 minutes, and 90% in an hour. The last 10% of the power needs an additional 30 minutes, and the total time is 1.5 hours.

As for NFC access card/bus card, Wi Fi song (played externally or with Bluetooth headset), and support for WeChat payment, some of them have not been mentioned before.

For the new system and GTR 3 Pro, let's take a brief look at the small regrets in my eyes: some old APPs cannot trigger notification push (for example, the old versions of llama and calengoo that I have kept for nine years), the recorder has no function of marking (although other countries do not have it), there is no double click to light up the screen (obvious power saving setting, after five seconds of screen shutdown, you can only use the hand to light up or press the key to wake up the screen) The dial can't display calendar, schedule and other information (although few friends support it), the mobile phone APP eats resources, offline voice just lacks the instructions to set the schedule (local computing power is limited, which is understandable), and the hateful WeChat can't reply on the watch.


summary

Smart watches are a miserable category, and there are few choices in the market, either the Apple Watch and Wear OS products (Samsung Tizen has been pigeoned), or the large bracelet. Every family has its own difficulties. If they can accept the shape of the bracelet, who will add money and keep charging for the form of the traditional watch.

In a word, GTR 3 Pro is a good table (The pictures and texts in this issue are not perfect):

  • Despite the exclusive blood pressure screening (the mass production version will wait for OTA), the GTR 3 Pro has a pleasing appearance, including 24-hour heart rate/blood oxygen/pressure monitoring, sleep breathing monitoring, well done automatic exercise recording The system is highly customized, the endurance is OK, and can afford the release price starting from 1099 yuan. However, problems such as limited voice assistant functions, third-party apps to be enriched, and mobile apps to eat resources also exist. We need to recognize the needs and choose products. Impulsive consumption makes your wallet cry.

In a word, Huami has a good knife technique:

  • The price difference between GTR 3 and GTR 3 Pro is still 200 yuan, starting from 799 yuan and 999 yuan respectively. The GTR 3 priced at 799 yuan is compared with the GTR 2 sports version priced at 699 yuan. There are no speakers, no voice assistant Wi-Fi, But the automatic motion monitoring, health monitoring and endurance are stronger (GTR 2e worth 739 yuan must be replaced with GTR 3 for 60 yuan, if you don't choose GTR 2). The GTR 3 plus 200 can exchange for larger and stronger screens, speakers Wi-Fi、 Blood pressure screening function, but the endurance is weaker.
