The Huawei Watch 3 and Watch 3 Pro have received a new update, version 3.0.0.177, which has been released globally. The latest software arrived shortly after version 3.0.0.174, which brought improvements to system stability. As its version number suggests, this is an update to HarmonyOS 3, with HarmonyOS 4.0 only available to users participating in the closed beta program.
Version 3.0.0.177 is a security patch for the Huawei Watch 3 series wearables. The release notes indicate that this is the May 2024 update, while users received it in June. As is the case with such updates, there are unfortunately no details on the improvements made.
This is a 263MB update that can be downloaded via the Huawei Health app. The company is asking users to verify that they are using the latest version of the app before triggering the installation and warns that the process may take several hours. The software is already available to many customers, which suggests that we are close to the end of the gradual rollout. It remains to be seen when a public HarmonyOS 4.0 update will be released for the Huawei Watch 3 and Watch 3 Pro devices.
