Huawei is bringing a cool new feature to the Watch 3 series. The smartwatch will be getting gesture controls highlighted by three smart gestures. Users can turn on the gesture control feature by heading to the application menu and click on Settings> Accessibility> Gestures to turn on the smart gesture feature.
The three smart gestures that will be available to users include raising your wrist and rubbing your fingers on the screen to open the Alipay QR code for contactless payment. The second one is making a fist and releasing it to answer an incoming call and finally, flipping the wrist to mute the call instantly is the third gesture. These are pretty cool and we expect the company to add more gesture control options in the future.
The Huawei Watch 3 series comprising of the Watch 3 and Watch 3 Pro was released in June this year after a hiatus since 2017 when the Watch 2 was released. The four-year wait was apparently worth it as the watch comes with several interesting features including a 3D rotating crown as well as a 1.43-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 466 X 466 pixels, a pixel density of up to 326PPI, a maximum brightness of 1000nit, and a refresh rate of 60Hz. The watch also features a stainless steel body, a 3D large-curvature mirror design, a 450mAH battery and is available in different strap options.
It runs on Huawei’s homegrown HarmonyOS 2 which is availing users of this cool new feature. Apart from gesture control, the watch also features 100+ sports modes, supports temperature, heart rate monitoring, fall detection, sedentary reminder among others. You also get support for remote camera shutter, music control, remote car control, smart home control, etc.
There is no release schedule yet for this update but since the watch is sold in markets outside China, we expect this feature to be available on the global version too.
