The Apple Watch Just Got Schooled By Another Cheap Smartwatch

If you're looking for the best smartwatch, you're bound to come across a few Apple watches. Cupertino's best tech-centric watches are locked down, from the budget Apple Watch SE to the standard Apple Watch 8 series to the extreme Apple Watch Ultra.

But popularity is not everything. Even Apple's budget options are priced higher, leaving a gap of truly affordable smartwatches at the bottom.

For example, the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro has more features than the Apple Watch SE, has a battery that lasts a week, and costs less than half of what the SE would cost.

Now another smartwatch has been released that offers a more powerful feature set than Apple's offering. The Huawei Watch GT Cyber is the latest version of Huawei's extremely impressive range of wearables - the Huawei Watch GT 3 takes a place in T3's best-ever smartwatch category.

The most important feature here is the belt change system. Instead of changing just the strap, Huawei chose to make the entire case modular. Simply slide the dial out of one cabinet and into another to completely change the look. We recently covered the Sertina DS Plus, which uses the same concept, although I'd say it makes more sense in a £200 smartwatch than an £800 watch.

The spec sheet isn't particularly eye-catching - a 1.32-inch AMOLED display acts as a gateway to more than 100 sports activities, sleep tracking and health monitoring. Most impressive is the inclusion of a blood oxygen sensor, which is a huge win over Apple. See SE.

The Huawei Watch GT Cyber is currently only available in China. Keep an eye out for a release in other markets as it could be a great alternative to the likes of the Google Pixel Watch and Apple Watch.
