Reviewing the Honor Watch GS 3, a fresh 2022 smartwatch boasting some of the best looks and smart fitness features. For a budget under £200 this is a top choice if you're after a slim, attractive design but the Honor Watch GS 3 doesn't boast pro features like contactless NFC payments in the UK. It's also Android only, no iOS app support.

Still, if you can overlook that and the lack of a builtin voice assistant or interactive notifications, there's loads to love here. This smartwatch is tough despite its classic looks, with three colour choices. I love the gold Honor Watch GS3, but all three pack a gorgeous AMOLED screen. Performance is smooth and battery life is among the best in 2022. You can get at least 45 days of play even with very heavy use, or over a week if you're a bit more restrained.

Of course, the GS 3 does have a lot of strong competition. Huawei's own smartwatches also offer long battery life and good value for a lower budget. Then there's Android Wear alternatives, although these tend to need charging nightly.
