As we have already seen with brand models such as the Haylou Solar LS05, this Chinese company is committed to a catalog of cheap devices. But, although cheap, they usually have features and finishes above what is usually seen in their price ranges.
With this New Haylou RS3, Xiaomi’s collaborating brand (usually financed through Xiaomi’s Youpin) takes a step forward in the Smartwatch market.
The inclusion of an AMOLED Screen (albeit 1.2 inches) is great news for everyone because as we have already seen with alternatives such as the Honor Watch ES, it seems that it will be a trend even in the cheapest SmartWatches.
How is the Haylou RS3?
As for the design, few reproaches can be put to the RS3. Round format in the purest traditional style, 22 mm interchangeable straps (the standard size and you can find thousands on Aliexpress), and Aluminum Alloy body. In fact, the watch won the first prize of the IAI Design Award (Intelligent Manufacturing Award).
In general, in a minimalist and elegant watch. Without the shrillness to which the cheapest smartwatches have accustomed us. Even the buttons are quite premium-looking. It stands out how well cared for its transition between the glass and the aluminum body.
Its straps are made of silicone and that detail continues to remind us that the Haylou RS3 is still a sporty and economical smartwatch. By the way, as such, you can not miss the resistance to water up to 5 ATM.
Design and Versions
The Screen
One of the great attractions of the Haylou RS3 is its Amoled screen. With 1.2 inches, within a body of 4.34 centimeters, we can understand that the frames are going to be considerable (they have to save somewhere, right?).
Perhaps, for this reason, the different customizable spheres of the Haylou RS3. Almost all abuse dark colors to hide the side frame of the watch.
Sports functions and health control of the Haylou RS3
The GPS is the other big star of the RS3. Manufactured by SONY, integrating Global Positioning makes it more mobile independent. And by the way, it gives you a plus compared to Activity bracelets like the Honor Band 6 that lack it.
Regarding health monitoring and control, the presence of Blood Oxygen measurement, heart rate monitoring and sleep control stand out.
As for sports measurements, we find 14 training modes. However, the 5ATM water resistance opens up the possibility of water sports measurement.
Haylou RS3 Autonomy
A 230 mAh battery will take care of giving us autonomy of up to 21 days. But beware, this is using the watch in a basic mode without 24/7 heart rate measurement.
With normal use (heart rate measurement 24/7, the normal use of GPS, sleep monitoring, two training sessions a week…) autonomy lasts approximately 12 days.
Our RS3 OpinionWho should buy the Haylou RS3?
If for you it is essential to have a beautiful design, with an aluminum body and an Amoled screen. Look no further, this is your mobile. In reality, it meets the main demands of most people but leaves things by the wayside.
For example, the screen is Amoled but it has very generous frames. It has GPS, although a bit slow in the connection and the occasional shade of coverage… However, it shines in design, and in the quality of its screen (although small).
In short, if you want to buy a Smartwatch “with everything” even if it means having some cut, this is your watch. However, there are other alternatives (which we leave you below) that may also interest you and have a similar price.
