How to Connect Hublot Big Bang e Gen 3 to Your iPhone.
Yes. The Big Bang e Gen 3 works with iPhone. Hublot's own app pairs it, but it is the weakest link in the setup, so pair it with Lynio instead and you get calls, notifications, contacts and health sync in about 3 minutes. See how

About the Hublot Big Bang e Gen 3
Announced June 2023 at $5,400, in micro-blasted and polished black or white ceramic with titanium H-screws and a black-plated titanium crown. A titanium 44mm version exists alongside the ceramic. It is the most expensive watch in this directory by a wide margin, and the price is in the case rather than the electronics.
Inside is a Snapdragon Wear 4100+ with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage, which was already three years old at launch. The screen is a 1.39in in-cell AMOLED at 454 x 454 under anti-reflective sapphire. Battery is 400mAh and single-day.
Two things to know. Water resistance is 30 metres, 3ATM, the lowest in this directory and enough for showers rather than swimming. And it shipped on Wear OS 3.0 with no source reporting anything newer since. Hublot's Gen 3 product pages no longer resolve on its own site, and the last confirmed activity on its iPhone companion app was June 2024.

Connect in 3 Steps
Install Lynio Watch on your Hublot Big Bang e Gen 3
From the Play Store on the watch. If Google sign-in will not work there, Lynio sends the app across as a signed bundle over Wi-Fi instead.
Follow the in-app pairing guide
Keep both on the same Wi-Fi, Bluetooth on, and leave the app open until pairing finishes.
What You Get After Pairing
| Works | Does not carry over |
|---|---|
| Notifications from your iPhone, and you can act on them | Google Wallet payments from the wrist |
| Calls, made and answered from the wrist | Hublot's own app history |
| Contacts synced from the iPhone | |
| Music playback control | |
| Workouts and health data written to Apple Health | |
| The Hublot dials, GPS, every on-watch sensor |
Hublot's own iPhone app is required to pair through its route and carries a 2.3 out of 5 rating on the App Store, with repeated user reports of the watch disconnecting. A connection that holds by itself is the specific thing Lynio is built for.
