Huawei Japan announced on October 28th a software update for its smartwatch “HUAWEI WATCH 3”. It will start sequentially from the end of October, and it is expected that all users will receive update notifications in about one month through the HUAWEI Health app.

This update adds a hand-washing detection function and a 5-minute free trial to the paid dial. WAV, FLAC, AMR, OGG, M4A, OPUS, and IMY are also supported for importable music formats that were previously only possible with MP3 / AAC.

You can also use the function to display the charging dial when charging, and it will be disabled if you press the crown of the watch. When connected to an Android smartphone, the reply function to SMS messages can be used, and Petal Map can be added as a pre-installed map application.

To update, operate the HUAWEI Health app (displayed under the name of “HUAWEI health care app” or “healthcare app” depending on the type of smartphone) → device → target device → firmware update. It is recommended to update the smartwatch with 45% or more remaining battery power and use the Wi-Fi network.
