Huawei Watch3 Pro and Samsung Watch4 Classic are equipped with new operating systems and outstanding health monitoring functions. The former has easy surface sliding operation and long navigation power, while the latter uses expedient measures and has more application options.
Huawei and Samsung are the latest flagship smart watches Watch3 Pro (classic) and Galaxy Watch4Classic. Similarly, the two "classic" mind tables are equipped with a new operating system-Watch3 Pro uses Huawei Hongmeng system, while Galaxy Watch4 uses Google Wear OS. What's the difference between the two flagship mind watches?
Huawei Watch3 Pro's dial is 48mm in diameter and looks stylish and high-end with a brown leather strap. Although the dial is not small, it is unlikely to appear on the surface. However, I don't think I will have it.
The Watch3 Pro has a 1.43-inch AMOLED touch screen with a maximum brightness of 1000 nits and looks pretty good in the sun. The appearance of the screen is delicate, the face is bright, the surface sliding operation is easy, and it is basically no problem to press the operation accurately.
The rotating crown at the top right is a big design highlight. Huawei's first rotary crown with tactile aversion reduces the brittleness of vibration feedback. Adjusting various values, sliding interface, viewing options and so on can be realized by turning the crown, which is very effective and convenient. The word "HUAWEI WATCH" is carved on the surface, which makes the table display more classy.
Samsung Watch4 Classic extended minimalist style, there are two buttons on the right, the watch body is made of stainless steel, black and silver, the weight is 52 grams, comfortable to wear. The watch uses a 1.4-inch AMOLED touch screen with a clear and sharp visual effect.
The Watch4 Classic comes in 42mm and 46mm sizes, and my tester table is 46mm. The Watch4Classic has Samsung's iconic rotating bezel, which is one of my favorite design points, and it is similar to Huawei's Watch3 Pro rotating crown. When turning the bezel, there is a mechanical gear-like feedback, can quickly start various applications, the use is very natural, expedient, do not have to brush the screen all the time.
Watch3 Pro has a built-in eSIM function that allows you to play music, make phone calls, download apps, etc., without a phone, but it's important to note that texting from a watch is not. This table can also be directly connected to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Due to the tower downloaded Hongmeng system, users can use Huawei AppGallery app market to download third-party applications, but there are not many immediate options, a small number of practical use, including maps, local radio stations, bus mortgage schedules and so on.
Samsung announced a partnership with Google earlier this year to combine its Tizen operating system Google Wear OS, hoping to compete with Apple. As a result, Watch4 Classic downloads Google Maps, and users can download a variety of third-party apps through the Google Play Store App Store, and choose more Huawei Watch3 Pro.
Both types of mental health monitoring functions are outstanding. In addition to monitoring rate, sleep quality and pressure, Huawei Watch3 Pro has also added a temperature sensor to measure the skin temperature of users' wrists and record body temperature changes over a long period of time. In addition, the watch also supports fall detection and SOS functions, when a fall is detected, it will automatically enter the distress mode. This feature is similar to Apple Watch's peers launched a few years ago.
Samsung Watch4Classic has greatly improved its health monitoring function. It carries three-in-one sensors (PPG,ECG and BIA). In addition to monitoring rate, ECG, blood, etc., it can also do body measurement analysis (Body Composition) for the first time, which can detect body fat, muscle mass, water content and so on. The method of measurement is very simple, as long as the middle finger and ring finger are placed on the two keys of the table. The process is very fast. After importing the weight, the stress device will be supplied in 15 seconds, which is different from the physical test analysis I did in the gym.
And then there is stronger sleep detection. Watch4 Classic in addition to the original REM sleep, deep sleep monitoring, but also added snoring detection, with blood detectives, households can know if they have sleep disorders. 1/3 of the locals have sleep insulation problems, but most people don't know it, so I think this function is very practical.
In terms of sports monitoring, the two watches are more or less the same, and can monitor and allow more routine exercise. Watch3 Pro supports 100 sports modes, while Watch4 Classic supports 90 sports. Two watches can also automatically detect a movement.
Huawei Watch3 Pro has a built-in 790mAh battery that supports wireless charging. If all the functions are started, the flight time will be about five days. If you enter power-saving mode, the Watch3 Pro can be used for about three weeks, which is quite a "longevity". If you use a charger, it will be fully charged for about three hours, which is a bit long.
Samsung Watch4Classic also supports wireless charging and has a relatively small number of 361mAh batteries. Samsung says the watch can be used for 40 hours, or a day and a half. I have tasted the AOD. The watch lasts about one day, so I have to call it every night. If you hurry up, 30 minutes of charging can provide about 10 hours.
Comprehensive design, cost, function, life and other aspects of the balance, the above two mental watches are very top-level and inconvenient. If you prefer large and typical watch designs, or ultra-long continuous navigation, Watch3 Pro is not the right choice. If you focus on comprehensive health monitoring, or if you want to use Google and third-party apps, Watch4Classic is better for you.
Watch3 Pro (classic): $698 Watch4Classic (46mm): $598 (Bluetooth), $748 (LTE)
