I bought my honor band 5 after watching this video. Was definitely the correct choice of me. The sleep ap true sleep is fanatic and sports modes good. I like being able to check heart rate and spo2 and it only cost 28 pounds. Its comfortable and light
HONORRRRR :) I've been wearing my Honor 4 since 2018 and it's been a flawless performer and a great companion that won't break the bank. I can only imagine how good the 5 is, definitely will upgrade!
The Honour Band 5 sounds like a good shout for me! I deliberately don't want a smart watch because I enjoy wearing my chronograph watch, however I want something a bit more accurate than a clip on pedometer, as I'm a keen walker! I'm also asthmatic, so the pulse oximetry feature will be great! I will check the accuracy compared to my manual pulse oximeter, but I'm sure it'll be reliable! and for £30... bargain! Plus I like the idea of having smart phone notifications on my wrist, especially when I'm not allowed my phone out at work, AND you can change the band which is good because my skin reacts wierdly to nylon and silicone. I'll let you know my thoughts once it arrives and I have the chance to use it!
Are there any advantages of Honor Magic watch 2 over the Honor Band 5, other than listed below? - Larger Display - Notifications/Calling - Music playback - GPS
Hello! Could you please make another review of these two and include their mobile apps ( How they do work and look like ) as well how well these watches monitor your blood oxygen levels?
Hi Blaco! Sure, in the meantime you could check out the sleep stages comparison video.. it has a view of the apps across 4 trackers including these ones! plz subscribe for more reviews!
Thank you for doing the reviews. I'm actually waiting for my Honor Band 5 and thought if it is worth it or should I pick Mi Band 5. I want to use my band for workout.
Hi Cat! The mi band 5 is a great tool for more advanced features like auto activity recognition, larger screen and a bright screen👌 but if you require goal based workouts, the Honor Band 5 is your best bet💪 plz subscribe for more reviews and comparisons!
I have a question, can the honor band 5 control music while I'm in exercising mode, like can I navigate musical tracks & the band would still detect my exercise?
Yep, both are from Chinese Tech Giants! In fact, Huawei (Honor is it’s budget sub-brand) is the largest tech retailer in the world as of Q2 2020👌 While Xiaomi is the 2nd largest tech wearables manufacturer and retailer in the world!🔥
Hi Noora! I would trust Honor more based on tests of the Honor and Amazfit smartwatches. But in regards to these trackers.. the mi band 5 is newer and more advanced in terms of functionality.. plz subscribe for more reviews and comparisons!💪
Love how well your videos are put together. Let me know pls if the screen of HB 5 is prone to any damage (I read in the reviews of Amazon that don't use it without putting the screen protector on). Thanks.
Hi Vic! Good question 👌 the fact is, both HB5 and Xiaomi Mi Band 5 have 2.5D gorilla glass.. it’s already scratch resistant! I, personally, do not like nor will recommend placing screen protectors on fitness trackers👆 the displays are tiny and react to touch gestures... as soon as you get into a pool or break a sweat and moist hits the screen protector.. you’re done..😢 I’ve had the HB5 for a year, it was heavily used, give it a good wipe and it looks brand new!🔥
Sure Vic! You see, I am getting fitter as I have started the Wesknows channel, doing runs and swims and so forth - in the process of testing out the wearables. Hence my choice is Hono Band 5.. the goal based sports and exercises are a must for my gym and swimming trainings! On the other hand, If I was simply counting steps and looking out for general wellness then the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 suits better. The auto activity recognition, 1.1" AMOLED display, stress monitor, breathing and relaxation app.. to name a few!:)
Hi Ume! In regards to tracking calories and general health metrics I would recommend the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 - it's definitely more advanced and after all it is a year newer than the Honor Band 5, the CPU is faster and the heart rate sensor is more advanced! On the other hand, Honor Band 5 does have much better sleep tracking... I hope I managed to help you out:) plz subscribe for more reviews!
Out of all youtube videos you were the one unbiased and with clear understanding have proper overview of both bands.

Hi Sanket! The most significant difference and advantage, in my view, is that the Honor Band 5 has goal based sport modes!
@@WesKnows You mean magic watch (and not band 5) has goal based sport modes?
Nope, I mean Honor Band 5:) plz subscribe for more reviews!

Hii. Since you've been using bands for working out, how accurate is the calorie burn feature in both bands?
Hi Shyam! Both bands have very similar sensors.. the figures are roughly the same, but the goal based feature on HB5 is better fit for working out!💪
Are you planning to do practice tests of the sport modes on both trackers?
Hi Yuriy! If I get the time.. we have some exciting reviews and comparisons in the pipeline 💪
Thank you for doing the reviews. I'm actually waiting for my Honor Band 5 and thought if it is worth it or should I pick Mi Band 5. I want to use my band for workout.

Honor 5 is Hawaii. I have Samsung phone will it work on my phone using the app fine
Hi! Is honor 5 compatible with ios users? Thanks!
Hi Alfa! It is. Coz actually it’s the tracker apps that need to be compatible. Huawei Health App is compatible on iOS and Android 👌
Does the HB5 have a remote camera click option like the MB5?
Hi Arnab! It doesn’t unfortunately..
Yes if you have Huawei/Honor phone.
I have a question, can the honor band 5 control music while I'm in exercising mode, like can I navigate musical tracks & the band would still detect my exercise?
Of course it can👌
Is my understanding correct that both trackers are produced by Chinese companies ?
Yep, both are from Chinese Tech Giants! In fact, Huawei (Honor is it’s budget sub-brand) is the largest tech retailer in the world as of Q2 2020👌 While Xiaomi is the 2nd largest tech wearables manufacturer and retailer in the world!🔥
Hi ! Will mi band 5 support spo2 functionality after ota update in near future?
I doubt it because SpO2 is measured with an infrared sensor, the mi band 5 doesn’t have one
Great vid 👍🏻
Thanks! These 2 bands from Xiaomi and Honor will fight it out in global sales!!🔥
How can the honor band 5 stay always bright?
5 brightness levels available ☝️
Which one is more accurate in steps & distance tracking?
Hi Noora! I would trust Honor more based on tests of the Honor and Amazfit smartwatches. But in regards to these trackers.. the mi band 5 is newer and more advanced in terms of functionality.. plz subscribe for more reviews and comparisons!💪

@@WesKnows Thanks for quick response. One more question: Could you pls recommend which one to buy among the HB5 and Xiaomi Mi Band 5? :)
