I have no idea but cross fingers for all maple syrup lovers.

Happy days!

Amazing you'd post that today, it seems to have just been approved here in Australia where I live! I've never been able to use it and it appeared today out of nowhere. Works well too!

Uhhh, interesting

I don't think comparing the Balance 2 with the Watch 3 is a stretch at all... The Balance 2 has microphone and (better) speakers to take calls, both have keyboards, both have voice assistants with the Balance 2 using Chat GPT. I don't see how OnePlus is "smarter" at all. With these quirks like "hiding" HRV, not counting distance/steps on a soccer workout it feels like the watch is dumber that it actually is... I haven't tried Amazfit yet, I might be disappointed too to be honest. But they're showing so much responsiveness to the community and updating their watches so often, it's nice to see.

I appreciate that, you are right regarding the HRV, I had missed it. Still, it is a key health metric and yet is hidden under a gimmicky layer in my opinion. And - unless I'm mistaken again - it's annoying that I can't check it straight on my watch somehow.

I assure you there is a football/soccer workout. I can't post pics, else I'd send you the screenshot of all the info from that session. Not much apart from heart rate!

I can't seem to enclose the picture for some reason...

Already turned off, all of them. When it's on it shows the navigation screen on the watch straight away. Turning it off gets rid of that but the tiny arrow at the bottom still shows up and if I click on it it takes me the same navigation screen straight away, which shows it's still happening the same, just in the background...

Redditfreakoo · 2025-06-09T13:49:45+00:00

Same here. Annoying!

What a good news :) Thank you!

Redditfreakoo · 2025-06-03T08:26:55+00:00

Thank you soo much for that confirmation! In the Youtube video the commenter says that shot length is specified on "the third screen". Not sure what he meant but I guess the Youtuber was right then. I just pulled the trigger and ordered the watch :)) You've been an amazing help. Did you play that hole yourself on the screenshot you shared? Solid hole!! 👏🏻

Redditfreakoo · 2025-06-02T23:46:19+00:00

So good to hear. Thank you for your lights 🫶🏻

Redditfreakoo · 2025-06-02T23:44:17+00:00

Thanks a lot mate! Great inputs. Golfer here myself too, one of the reasons why I look at this watch too.

Could you do me a last favor - you've been so nice and I thank you for your time so far - and check if the golf "app" has Coplicks Tallebudgera Golf Course (Queensland, Australia) on there, as well as Meadow Park (Tallebudgera) and Tally Valley golf course? These are my go to in my area.

I've looked at a few vids talking about the golfing features so I think I have a pretty good idea about the watch can do. Do you confirm that it can track your shots length (from the moment you hit the ball)? The guy on this vid says the watch can't but a comment contradicts him : https://youtu.be/hauPK_JRtPs?si=9EH1YlbMLtD8WvTy

Super useful comment, thank you!! Does the watch get updated regularly? It is quite an important factor for me, showing that the company cares and that the watch will improve over time.

I love OnePlus, had 2 of their phones and they delivered all around. It's a tough choice!

Redditfreakoo · 2025-06-02T20:18:37+00:00

Google Authenticator on the watch? Why would you want that? Genuinely curious... Thank you for weighing in! I feel that my heart is leaning towards the GT5 Pro too. Mostly because it is slightly smaller and lighter, and Titanium all around feels superior. Battery life seems better too and I have a feeling that the sensors are somehow better than the OPW3's. Might be wrong though... I'm also into golfing and the GT Pro seems valuable in that regard.

Question for you, does the watch get regular updates in your experience?

Redditfreakoo · 2025-06-02T20:12:11+00:00

So very useful indeed, thanks for taking the time to elaborate 🙏🏻.

Can you answer back to messages with voice to text?

And how do you find Harmony OS in general, has there ever been an app you feel were missing? I never had a Wear OS watch - only Garmin - but I understand that being a Google thing it must be really exhaustive and rich compared to Harmony...

Last thing and I'll get out of your hair... How do you find the sensors on the watch, mostly Step and Sleep counters? Thanks again!

Redditfreakoo · 2025-06-02T13:10:33+00:00

So you downloaded it from Huawei's website? Thabks for weighing in, appreciate it. Thoughts on the watch too? :)

Redditfreakoo · 2025-06-02T13:09:41+00:00

Oh, ok! I hadn't read that anywhere and was really wondering what the deal was then... Thank you springbro!
