I have this Band and really it’s amazing for the price it’s cost but I find that the steps count not so accurate, it’s counting one steps as 3 steps, also as iPhone user the app is very limited in information, we also as iOS users can’t get the music control and the faces store. If you have Android you will enjoy more.
Just ordered one. Thanks David. I've been looking for a smart watch but wear Os watches are so far behind the apple watch that I can't justify the expense. This will keep me going until things improve. Cheers!
Updated to 1.1.0.142 and now the blood oxygen saturation does not work. It says please wear it tightly and do not move, and I did those things but still no go, it tells me to retry. The previous version did it well.
Final update: The inconsistency has nothing to do with the version update, as I found out. Now that the days are warmer, wearing the band produced a thin film of sweat between my wrist and the band, and this interfered with the reading. In a cooler room, the band will work perfectly because my wrist won't sweat.
What an awesome review. Thanks mate. Can anyone help me? I feel like it always adds a few extra steps. Like il walk 10 and it’ll count 17. Also, it doesn’t measure me going up the stairs, just counts it as “steps. Thanks guys
But does the blood oxygen monitor actually work while one is lifting weights or does it keep dropping out?
Can i use it with my samsung phone?
Can it track blood oxygen continuously and send notification if it drops below 92%? If so can it send notification via whatsapp?
What are your thoughts on it vs mi band 4

Yohai Mor hi, what do you mean by limited? Also, can you still not have music controls after the update?

Update: I got it to work once in a while by moving the band up farther on my wrist, but it is still inconsistent.

Brother how do u change the themes ??
Hello David! My doubt is, does it monitor oxygen levels as we sleep? Or heart rate throughout the day?
That's what I'm looking for. Something that will track SP02 while I'm asleep.
Wellue O2Ring can !!
check it out, VERY accurate !
No it will not do that
I have tried many times but could not get oxigen measure
Me too, I tried it on the other side of my wrist, and pressed a finger down next to.it and it worked!
thank you for a great review i was about to send it back because i purchased it for the 02 sensor and there was no sign of it
You need to update the version.
Is this huawei band 5?
Thorough review..... Thanks.
Cheers Koshy, you're welcome - and thanks for commenting! Have a good one
If I wash my hands with soap. And the soap water accidentally touch the watch will it spoil?
great review!! 👍👍
@Btekt
Can "Honor Band 5" measure "SP02 levels" continuously for hours?
Secondly, does it records results, on Huawei health App in a report format?
it does record results. As for "continuous" measurement - don't think so... Before it start measuring, it says "sit still while measuring"
The best review bro 👌🏼
Could you could demo the Notifications - say from BBC Sport? Would be good to see how easy to read (word wrap/sunlight).
None of the reviewers put enough focus on the notification aspect of the device.
Great review Dave! Good man thanks
Cheers Gar, thank you
Hi, can there be a viber and skype in that watch?
Very helpful, especially regarding the Firmware update
Good review, great music 👍
Cheers Gerado!

Huawei and Honor are the same company
