The thinnest part reaches 0.04mm, which fits the wrist better and is more comfortable to wear. The sensor on the back of the watch also uses TruSeen 5.0+ technology to provide more accurate heart rate detection and improve the accuracy of blood oxygen monitoring.

Huawei WATCH GT 3 Pro Titanium Edition provides a variety of strap options for different scenarios such as sports, business, and leisure. Users can choose a titanium strap made of the same material as the body, which is more high-end.
