The #HUAWEIWATCH3 Defines What It Means to be a Super Device @HuaweiZA

Hi Friends, 

If your devices are going to keep up with your fast-paced, always-active lifestyle, they need to interact seamlessly with one another. Syncing and interconnectivity issues simply won’t do. You need devices – laptops, tablets, smartphones, and wearables – that work as one, with each updating the others as you complete or set certain tasks.

Multinational technology giant Huawei understands this all too well and has always set out to create super devices that can connect to other Huawei products. This means that devices “speak” to each other with ease and that you can carry on living your life while your favourite pieces of tech offer super-smooth support in the background.

The HUAWEI WATCH 3 and WATCH 3 Pro, both of which are now available in South Africa, are no exception. Huawei has once again gone above and beyond in ensuring that these smartwatches add value to your world, rather than frustrating or hindering things in any way.

Running on HarmonyOS 2, the HUAWEI WATCH 3 Series has been designed with the internet of things in mind. HarmonyOS 2 provides a unified language that allows devices to connect and collaborate intelligently so that you can enjoy a convenient cross-device experience.

HarmonyOS 2 also brings a smartphone-like interactive experience to your smartwatch, ensuring everything is within reach on its control panel. View and schedule meetings without needing to take your phone out of your pocket, and receive instant notifications to ensure you don’t miss anything important. A simple swipe will also give you access to your watch’s workout modes, stopwatch, voice assistant, weather, phone, taxi services and navigation.

Yes, you read that right: “phone”. The HUAWEI WATCH 3 Series offers calling capabilities, just like your smartphone.

Huawei knows that it’s not always possible or convenient to carry your phone with you, particularly if you’re doing activities like running, swimming, skateboarding or rock climbing. The HUAWEI WATCH 3 Series, therefore, supports a standalone communication system. By activating the eSIM service on your phone, you can use the same phone number on your Huawei watch and enjoy the same data and tariff plan.

Even if your mobile phone happens to run out of battery on the go, you can still use the HUAWEI WATCH 3 Series for real-time communication. Talk about smooth and seamless!

In emergencies, the HUAWEI WATCH 3 also supports fall detection and SOS alerts to enable phone calls to local emergency services. In help mode, you can choose from “Emergency call”, “I fell but I’m fine” or “I didn’t fall” and your smartwatch will provide you with the necessary support.

If you want to take your safety to the next level, you can also activate AA Armed Response on your HUAWEI WATCH 3 or WATCH 3 Pro for just R35 per month. This powerful app enables you to ask for immediate and urgent help from the AA just by selecting the AA panic button. You’ll be able to see when the AA has received your alert, and how long it will take for one of their experienced responders to reach you.

Of course, these incredible connectivity features are only part of what makes the HUAWEI WATCH 3 and WATCH 3 Pro super devices. They also come standard with world-class technology, boasting over 100 different workout modes, and the capability of monitoring every aspect of your physical health you might be interested in tracking.

The HUAWEI WATCH 3 Series is available now online at the Huawei Store. The HUAWEI WATCH 3, priced at R7,299, comes in Active Edition and the HUAWEI WATCH 3 Pro, priced at R7,999, comes in Classic Edition. Both devices are also available at Vodacom and Takealot. Ts and Cs apply.

Cheers!!!

Witness Timeless Elegance with the @HUAWEIza #HuaweiWATCH3 Series #ClassIsTimeless

Hi Friends,

The new HUAWEI WATCH 3 Series, available in-store now, takes what you think you know about smartwatches and reinvents it in the most beautiful way possible. This is not just a smartwatch, but a true fashion accessory on your wrist.

Beautiful craftsmanship and endless options

Let’s start with the ultra-curved 3D glass screen that delivers an unparalleled sensory experience. The glass has gone through over four hours of precision polishing and anti-fingerprint vacuum nano-coating. This means the display is not only bright and perfectly round-edged, but it is also scratch-resistant and fingerprint-proof. Simply put, the HUAWEI WATCH 3 exemplifies the highest standards of polishing and craftsmanship, achieving a lustrous and beautiful metallic surface that is highly comparable to those found on traditional luxury watches.

Below the proverbial hood of the watch face is exceptionally powerful Huawei hardware. This results in interactive and informative watch faces that can completely be customised to fit your unique tastes.

For instance, the watch face can display the phases of the moon in real-time. You can rotate the moon 360° to view the craters on its surface or even the distance between the moon and earth at any time. You can also opt for a constellation watch face to compress the entire starry sky right on your wrist. Slide to view a nightscape panorama or click to get the specific constellation’s information.

The gamers out there can consider the pinball watch face to while away their spare time between meetings or when commuting on the Gautrain. The HUAWEI WATCH 3 also features a Watch Face Market with a range of faces to choose from, including business, fashion, cartoon, fun, or something more simplistic.

Of course, if you want to look beyond the sheer number of downloadable watch face templates available, then there is a DIY option for a limitless number of tweaks. This means you can personalise it with your favourite photo or even short video, including slow-motion, time-lapse, or screen recordings.

More than just a pretty face

The HUAWEI WATCH 3 runs on the new HarmonyOS 2 next-generation operating system. Think of it as the digital glue that sticks all your smart devices together to deliver you that completely integrated experience.

One of the differentiating features of the HUAWEI WATCH 3 is the ability to use it outside of a HUAWEI mobile phone. You can simply activate its eSIM capabilities and send and receive phone calls and text messages. You can even mirror your phone without even needing one.

Oh yes, and let’s not forget about the all-day health management and workout tracking capabilities of the HUAWEI WATCH 3. Using the power of your health data, the HUAWEI WATCH 3 helps you along your health and fitness journey. With innovations like Skin Temperature Detection and even SpO2 detection to show your blood oxygen level in real-time, you can exercise with the confidence that your health always comes first.

But what about the battery life? After all, a smartwatch is only as good as how long it can remain operational. To this end, the HUAWEI WATCH Pro supports a five-day-long battery life in smart mode and 21 days in ultra-long battery life mode. For its part, the HUAWEI WATCH 3 can achieve a three-day-long battery life in smart mode and 14 days in ultra-long battery life mode. This means you can wear it all day, use it continuously, and it keeps ticking to meet all your digital lifestyle needs.

The timeless HUAWEI WATCH 3 series is available now at the Huawei Store (Online). The HUAWEI WATCH 3, priced at R7299, comes in Active Edition and the HUAWEI WATCH 3 Pro, priced at R7999, comes in Classic Edition. Ts&Cs apply. Both devices are also available at Vodacom and Takealot.

The #HUAWEIWatch3 Series Takes Wearable Technology to the Next Level @HuaweiZA #ClassIsTimeless!

Hi Friends, 

Huawei recently launched the HUAWEI WATCH 3 Series, its most premium smartwatch range yet, to the South African market. Consisting of the HUAWEI WATCH 3 and WATCH 3 PRO, the series runs on the next-generation HarmonyOS 2 smart operating system, which integrates different smart devices into a unified ecosystem, resulting in users experiencing a truly digital lifestyle.

The HUAWEI WATCH 3 series introduces a face made with ultra-curved 3D glass, which is not only brighter but is also anti-glare, anti-fingerprint, and scratch-resistant. The body is made with heavy-duty titanium that can withstand even the harshest of South African conditions while still looking sleek and luxurious.

HUAWEI Watch 3 Pro

The timeless aesthetics of the WATCH 3 Series belies its powerful hardware and software support. Huawei has incorporated a 3D and particle engine, video decoding capabilities, and iGraphics’ rendering engine to deliver a responsive and feature-rich smartwatch. This gives users the ability to use 5- to 10-second short videos from their phone and turn their watch face into something truly unique.

The all-new chipset on the HUAWEI WATCH 3 series provides precise GPS location services. This ensures fitness enthusiasts can more accurately track their health, go through different training modules, and even automatically send alerts if they have fallen. The WATCH 3 Series boasts 6GB of memory to store apps and music, independently from a smartphone.

Moreover, these standalone capabilities extend for further use outside of HUAWEI mobile phones. By activating the eSIM capabilities of the WATCH 3 Series, users can send and receive phone calls, text messages, and even mirror their phones. The real-time synchronisation between phone and watch makes it effortless to switch between devices, even if the phone runs out of battery.

HUAWEI Watch 3

The HUAWEI WATCH 3 Pro can achieve a five-day-long battery life in smart mode, and 21 days in ultra-long battery life mode, while the HUAWEI WATCH 3 supports a three-day-long battery life in smart mode and 14 days in ultra-long battery life mode. Regardless of the model chosen, users can be confident that their HUAWEI WATCH 3 is a companion that will be with them all day long and help them manage their digital lifestyles far more efficiently than in the past.

However, this is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. There are still many incredible features packed into the HUAWEI WATCH 3 Series that users can explore. Be sure to check out things like the smart screenshots, smart game assistants, and others, including the workout guides, breath reminders, and handwash detection.

Pre-order the HUAWEI WATCH 3 or the HUAWEI WATCH 3 Pro, priced from R7299, between 1 and 6 October and get a free pair of HUAWEI Bluetooth Freelace earphones and an additional watch strap.

Cheers!!!

GSMA fully-certified The Secure eSIM Subscription Management @Gemalto

Hi Guys,

Gemalto, the world leader in digital security, announces that its On-Demand Connectivity Service has become the first in the world to demonstrate full compliance with the stringent security requirements of the GSMA’s Security Accreditation Scheme for embedded SIM (eSIM) remote provisioning. As a result, OEMs, mobile operators, and service providers worldwide can be assured that Gemalto implements appropriate security measures for storage and handling of all sensitive user profile data. These measures extend from initial eSIM production through to management of mobile subscriptions over the entire service lifecycle. The accreditations apply to industrial IoT applications, automotive solutions and consumer electronics.

Unlike a conventional SIM, an eSIM is soldered into a device during production and must be remotely managed during its entire lifecycle. This simplifies manufacturing and logistics, prevents tampering, and eliminates the need to fit and replace SIMs at a later stage.

With more than 50 references, Gemalto On-Demand Connectivity service- a subscription management platform - provides customers with a GSMA-certified environment to support their commercial launches.

“These new certifications demonstrate Gemalto’s leadership and commitment to implementing rigorous security measures that extend from the core to the very edge. “Mobile operators and OEMs can now fully benefit from the combined promises of the eSIM and remote SIM provisioning services for industrial, enterprise and consumer applications” said David Buhan, Senior Vice President Mobile and IoT Services for Gemalto.
