With a single set of TypeScript and JavaScript APIs, you will be able to create a seamless user interface experience", detailed on the HarmonyOS website.

Huawei Watch vs Apple Watch

Battery

While using the Apple Watch 7 to the maximum the battery can last a maximum of 2 days, the Huawei Watch can last up to 5 days using the most popular features and having the screen always on.

Screen

This battle is won by the Apple Watch, since its square screen design provides users with 20% more space and information. The design of the Huawei Watch is more limited, as the screen is round. It's more classic, but it also reduces the amount of space to display information.

Health

One of the main reasons users buy a smart watch is to monitor their health and workouts. In the case of the Apple Watch, it presents the classic functionalities such as monitoring the heart rate, taking electrocardiograms and also measuring oxygen in the blood.

In the case of the Huawei Watch, it is specially designed for athletes or people dedicated to fitness, since it presents different specialized training programs and offers support for 100 sports.

Without a doubt, everything will depend on the needs you have when choosing a model or brand of smart watch, but certainly the Huawei Watch GT3 is one of the most requested devices on the market due to its performance and wide range of functionalities.
