Honor has a new smartwatch but you can’t get your hands on it now because it is sort of not official yet. The new smartwatch is called the Honor Watch GS 3 (there wasn’t a GS 2) and Honor only briefly talked about its new heart rate sensor at its launch event today.
The highlight of the Honor Watch GS 3 is its 8-channel PPG sensor which also uses an AI algorithm and AI Engine to accurately measure heart rate. As shown in the image below, the heart rate module includes an 8-channel PPG module, a heart rate AI Engine, a frequency tracking algorithm, and an AI heart rate algorithm. Honor says they all work together to capture your heart rate data faster and more accurately.
There is no comparison, so we can’t say how well this compares to other heart rate sensors. We hope more details will be revealed in the near future.
The Honor Watch GS 3 itself has a round dial attached to a metal case. It has two physical buttons and uses quick-release straps. It will be available in three variants – there is Voyager which has a silver case and blue leather straps, Streamer Classic with a golden case and brown leather straps, and Racing Edition with a gray case and black rubber straps.
We do not know when the watch will be properly launched but we still expect it to arrive this year.
