Huawei GT3 PRO : Workout Mode Ability is Very Strong

Huawei GT3 PRO Provides Everything at Intermediate Level

When it comes to tracking your workouts at a intermediate level, the Huawei GT3 PRO has all the features that I test for at this level. Here is a list of things that I test for at this level.

Ability to measure training load/intensity
Ability to improve cadence
AI coach feature
Ability to provide recovery times
Ability to determine your fitness level
GPS Tracking

Ability to measure training load : A feature that is very similar to Garmin’s body battery and Fitbit’s daily readiness score, the training load feature draws your activity and sleep data which will then determine your bodies training load. Knowing your bodies perceived load is very useful information that can help guide you in the right direction to avoid over training. If your training load is low, there for your body is prime to absorb intense activity, or if too high, best to do recovery workouts like walking or yoga. I also think it keeps you honest because you have to prioritise quality sleep in order for your body to recover.

Ability to improve cadence : The Huawei GT3 PRO can do this using the metronome feature which works like a timing tool where you follow the chime or vibration. In my experience using this feature, I found it useful to get an idea of what the training stress is like on the body. I typically increase my cadence by 3% and cut my distance in half as a extreme beginner runner. Just be aware that this feature can drain your battery life by a lot.

AI coach feature : The Huawei GT3 PRO has running courses, which acts like a running coach. Im very new to running and at the moment Im allowing the running program dictate my progress. So far it’s been a lot of fun as I try to build up my aerobic capacity in order to tackle the next level courses. Very useful feature to anyone that ones to get better at running.

Ability to provide recovery times : Quite a handy feature to have and the Huawei GT3 PRO can determine this from training activities that are Anaerobic or Aerobic training stress. To put it simply, if you train very hard, then your recovery time will extend further, it’s really give or take. The device does notify you when you reach a training stress level such as level 1, level 2 and so forth. If you are someone that trains twice a day, the device has a timer that counts down to full recovery.

Ability to determine your fitness level : The Huawei GT3 PRO can do this in two ways, V02 max (which is your bodies ability to absorb oxygen) and Heart rate recovery. The V02 max is part of the running program only, whereas the heart rate recovery can be used after workouts whether it be Anaerobic or Aerobic exercises. To put it simply, if you record your heart rate two minutes after your workout and compare it to your resting heart rate. If your heart rate is very close to your resting heart rate, then your fit, if not then you have some work to do. An effective tool that you can use after a workout.

GPS Tracking : GPS tracking is absoltely fantastic and reliable. I have written an article about the device’s GPS accuracy. For more details, check out my article, Article – Huawei GT3 Pro : Is GPS tracking Accurate?

Verdict : The Huawei GT3 Pro deserves its rating of 5 out of 5 at this level. I couldn’t really find anything bad about the device, maybe the metronome feature burns a lot of battery life.
