The divide between traditional watch wearers and smartwatch users is shrinking thanks to new products like the Huawei WATCH GT3 Pro. The wearable draws design inspiration from high-end luxury timepieces with a round face and crown, while the use of premium materials like titanium and ceramic help to reinforce this notion. The 46mm Titanium Edition boasts a 1.43-inch AMOLED display, while the Ceramic Edition comes in slightly smaller with a 1.32-inch AMOLED display.
The Huawei WATCH GT3 Pro smartwatches are finished with sapphire glass crystal for enhanced durability and are rated for wear in water up to 30-meters. The Titanium Edition will offer up to 14-days of use per charge, while the Ceramic Edition will offer seven with regular daily use.
