While traditional watches usually have a round face, the Apple Watch popularized the non-round design in the smartwatch market. This has led to many companies releasing smartwatches inspired by the circle shape. However, the Huawei Watch Fit 3 seems to have taken another step in that direction.
Leaked images of the Huawei Watch Fit 3 suggest that the company is closely related to the design of the Apple Watch. If these renders are accurate, distinguishing Huawei's offering from Apple's might be difficult, even upon close inspection.
But the Huawei Watch Fit 3 will still be very different
Leaked images shared Ronald Quandt (Ronald Quandt), reputable reporter WinFuture, shows off an early look at the Huawei Watch Fit 3. Although these are preliminary renders, the credibility of the source suggests that they may indeed represent the final product.

Even if the Watch Fit 3 will have a similar design to the Apple Watch, it will have distinct differences. The metal frame and screen frame of the smartwatch are unique, although the placement of the side button is reminiscent of Apple's Digital Crown.
In terms of functionality, Huawei Watch Fit 3 will not run on Apple Watch OS, but will run on Google WearOS or Huawei HarmonyOS. Details about the other features of the smartwatch are currently unknown, but this line of devices is primarily focused on fitness and sports, offering a more budget-friendly alternative to the Apple Watch.
