Alongside the European debut of the nova 9, Huawei announced a pair of new smartwatches dubbed Watch GT 3 as well as a new pair of wireless earbuds called FreeBuds Lipstick.
Huawei phone watchGT3 comes in 42mm and 46mm sizes and in essence the two models represent slightly tweaked versions of the Huawei Watch 3 and Watch 3 Pro with the notable omission on the new models being the lack of eSIM though you can still take calls from your connected phone via Bluetooth.
