When you’re looking for thebest smartwatch, you’re likely to come across more than oneApple Watch. Cupertino’s finest have tech-driven timepieces on lockdown, from the budget friendlyApple Watch SE, through the standardApple Watch Series 8and up to the extremeApple Watch Ultra.
But popularity isn’t everything. EvenApple’s budget friendly options carry a hefty price tag, leaving a gulf of truly affordable smartwatches beneath it. Lately, I’ve found a couple of these budget models raise serious questions about theApple Watch.
TheXiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro, for example, boasts more features than an Apple Watch SE, has a battery which will last for more than a week and costs less than half of what the SE would set you back.
Now, another smartwatch has been released which offers a more robust feature set than Apple’s offering. TheHuaweiWatch GT Cyber is the latest release from Huawei’s hugely impressive wearables range – theHuawei Watch GT 3maintains a spot in T3’s best smartwatch category to this day.
The main feature here is the strap changing system. Rather than just changing the strap, Huawei has opted to make the entire casing modular. Simply pop the dial out of one case and into another to completely change the style. We recently covered theCertina DS Pluswhich uses a similar idea, though I’d argue that it makes more sense on a £200 smartwatch than an £800 timepiece.
There’s nothing especially noteworthy on the spec sheet – a 1.32" AMOLED display acts as your gateway to over 100 sports activities, sleep tracking, and health monitoring. What’s most impressive is the inclusion of a blood oxygen sensor, tallying up a big win over the Apple Watch SE.
Currently, the Huawei Watch GT Cyber is only available in China, though. Keep an eye out for releases in other markets down the line, as this could be a fantastic alternative to pieces like theGoogle Pixel Watchand the Apple Watch.
