Haylou has opted for a matte sand-like finish that it claims makes the device's body resistant against scratch and fingerprints. The watch is 5ATM resistant, which means it can survive under up to 50 meters of water pressure.

Health tracking

Haylou RS3 can keep track of your heart rate 24 hours a day. It also has an optical sensor that can measure oxygen saturation levels. It even records your sleep and categorizes them into light, deep, and REM sleep. This helps you have a better idea about your sleep quality. Similarly, there are guided breathing exercises for times when you feel stressed and overwhelmed.

Fitness tracking

Haylou RS3 can keep track of 14 different sports modes including swimming, basketball, cycling, hiking, and so on. The six-axis accelerometer helps the watch keep track of your movement and determine the number of calories burnt. Moreover, there's a dedicated GPS chip that can track your distance covered during activities like running, cycling, and walking.
