After Huawei rolled out the Harmony OS 4 update for the Watch GT 3 Pro last month, users of the standard Watch GT 3 worldwide can now enhance their smartwatches with HarmonyOS 4.0, the newest version designated as 4.0.0.111. This update, approximately 138MB in size, introduces a range of fresh features and enhancements.
App Grid and Mistouch Prevention
One key feature of this update is the addition of an app grid that simplifies app identification and selection by displaying the names of the apps. Additionally, a practical mistouch prevention feature has been integrated to prevent accidental inputs during workouts by locking the watch crown when the screen is inactive.
Wake Screen Functionality and Interface Enhancements
A notable new feature is the wake screen functionality, which automatically activates the screen upon receiving notifications. The update also concentrates on refining the interface for a smoother user experience, incorporating better swiping effects, clearer text, and colors optimized for easier reading. Furthermore, an alarm feature has been included to organize alarms based on their set times.
Customization for Fitness Tracking
For users leveraging their watch for fitness tracking, this update enables customization of workout data and widget layouts tailored to specific workout types, offering more detailed insights on the workout screen.
