HUAWEI Band 6?

The individual charger I’m not a huge fan of this but it’s still manageable due to the good battery life. Although with the band 4 you can just take the strap off and plug it into a USB port(very handy).
The watch is comfortable, the strap doesn’t fall off easily, I’ve used it in the sea and all was good.
The SPO2 function when compared to a finger device appears to be very similar reading (obviously I can’t confirm it’s accuracy due to not having a calibrated medical device).
The face gallery setting is rather nice, you can load more than one picture and you simple tap it to change it to the next one( it’s simple and easy to add/remove/edit them).
Overall good value for money, I’d recommend.
Advantages based on use with iPhone 13 pro max:
1 - Long Battery Life up to 14 days depends on the personal usage, for me it always last 10 days or more
2 - Light weight
3 - Heartrate, Blood oxygen saturation rate and stress rate
4 - Cheap watch compared to other brands
5 - easy to use and wide range of apps and sport application
6 - You can receive notification and messages from the phone
disadvantages:
1 - it has no GPS so it needs to be always connected to the phone to get accurate GPS data which force you to keep your phone GPS on that causes charge consumption. although the watch is able to count your steps without being connected to the phone.
2 - Detecting exercise type is a bit slow. for example if you walk fast it takes 5-10 minutes or sometimes much more to detect the exercise. with running is faster to detect it. my experience is I pick the exercise in advance when I run to make sure it counts the time and steps/distance accurately.
3 - the Huawei health app doesn't synchronize automatically with the watch if you don't have data activated on your phone. if your data is off, you have to sync manually to update data on the phone from the watch.
I made it after 5 month usage. I hope you find this review useful,
The worst aspect of this tracker is the strap - it's made of quite a stiff (but tough) rubbery plastic. Presumably it's designed to last & not split, crack or snap, which, so far (6months), it seems to do. But it's the nasty little loop around the strap that you tuck the end of the strap into, that presses & cuts into your skin - it's just poorly designed for comfort & even has a little 'lug' or 'tab' which stops it moving up/down the length of the strap & actually just serves to make the loop more uncomfortable against your skin. The hinge on the strap buckle is also uncomfortable.
The Huawei app that you have to use with this device is WAY over bloated (which they've had to do because of the US/Google ban on Huawei). It has some decent features such as heart rate charts & exercise maps. But the 'elephant in the room' is that you can NOT sync data to GoogleFit, Samsung Health or FitBit (only Adidas or Kamoot work). However, you can purchase 3rd party 'Health Sync' App' in the PlayStore which can act as an intermediary sync between Huawei & other health apps (it works well but isn't free except as a short trial).
The Huawei app needs more customisation features - for example, it's an annoying American accent on the voice telling you how far you've walked & you cant change the details that the voice tells you (eg. current heart rate etc). It does not use your phone's standard Google Speech voice (because Huawei isn't allowed to).
I was instantly let down that my Galaxy A12 was damn near IMPOSSIBLE to pair with it. It took a whole day to FINALLY get it. Reason? Android 10+ apparently has a webview app in the background that crashes when trying to pair the watch with the APK from Huawei. If you download the app from Play Store, it did not have the Band 6 in the list of supported watches.
Without too much detail, I tried various alternative webview apps, I tried both versions of the Huawei app, the Play Store which is out of date and the APK the instructions recommended I download from Huawei's website. I also ended up backing up my phone so I could reset to factory, hoping that might roll my A12 to a factory version of an earlier Android flavour that might work. It did not.
Well, at least not obviously. I continued to have issues with the APK from the Huawei app store and the older version on Play Store. I just kept trying to use the Play app to connect to Huawei's server to hopefully download the support for the band 6. At about 11 pm Christmas night, I got it! It FINALLY connected, briefly, but long enough to download the updated watch models, a load of them, and after several further attempts for the newly updated app to find my Band 6 and connect.
Once done, the watch is FABULOUS! It does more than I wanted. Since I know my husbands newer model iPhone could easily download and connect, I bought him one as well. He has a very expensive Fosil smart watch that does little more than look pretty and tell time. It should tell time but I think we expect more out of "smart tech." This model will do heart rate, which is important for me to monitor my PoTS, and also O2 which helps as sometimes mine randomly dips but now I can see graphs of those dips for my cardiology consultant and other consultants. It also gives me notifications for So Many apps! I get Gmail, texts, and almost any other app I could wany. My Fitbit would hardly ever sync properly with my phone without me restarting it and fiddling with it daily. So far, now that the app finally works as is paired, it seems like almost real time updates.
If you have an android phone on version 10+, you may find yourself in the same pickle as I did. My husbands iPhone had no such trouble at all. It is a crackin' smart watch for the price but unless you are ready to potentially spend a whole day downloading APKs, trying to fix the webview bug, etc, it may NOT be worth the price for you.
Also, the model instructions asks you to download a random APK from Huawei which most certainly feels dodgy. Presumably, they could just update the Play Store Android app. So use at your own risk tolerance and pairing-time tolerance.
Two things I like the most.
The sleep tracking is very accurate and you do not feel it on hand while wearing.
Overall practical features with nice display and watch faces.
Excellent battery life
For me, the stand-out features are:-
* Amazingly comfortable strap, and device so light you are not aware of it.
* Lovely display, crisp colours, indeed a lot sharper than my pic shows!
* Bluetooth pairing with app on Android just fine. Once paired, the device watch (date, time) is synchronised with the smartphone.
* Huge selection of watch-faces to pick from, and once down-loaded you can switch them around on the device itself.
* Neat magnetic charge lead coupling. However, I've only had to use it once in the two weeks I've had it and as I type this, it shows 83% so it will be another week or so until I next charge it. Simply amazing, the advertising does not exaggerate the battery life.
* Constant monitor of heart rate, and the app keeps history over days/weeks/months...
* If I sit too long, device gives a gentle vibrate to remind me I need to move about. (You can disable this, but i'm happy with it as is.)
* Most of the watch-faces also show weather temperature. How neat is that?
I've not tested it in shower or pool, and don't yet use the sleep pattern function. I have tested the blood oxygen function, works just fine. (Unlike heart rate, blood oxygen is not recorded continously, but the app retains and reading you make)
The step counter works just fine and quite accurately, and most of the watch-faces show todays count, as well as calorie burn and heart rate.
The display is normally off, i.e. shows black face, until summoned. The action of turning your wrist to look at the band activates the watch-face for 5 seconds. When activated, the display reacts to "swipes" in four directions, e.g. to see more weather details, heart rate today, etc.
I suspect that the device measures heart rate (BPM) a little on the high side, comparing it with finger-tip oximeter or other medical-grade device. But I'm happy to overlook that, the import thing is to observe changes and trends. That explains why I only rate 4 stars for accuracy.
Overall: Great value. Ticks all my boxes - comfort, ease of use, long time between charges, huge range of watch-faces to pick from.
I've now owned it for about a month and its mostly good - but a bit of a mixed bag. The step counting is consistent, the screen is great (as is the range of displays), battery life is excellent and I find it comfy to wear. Bluetooth connectivity is much more reliable than my fitbit - but does still need resetting.
Whats less good is:
a) I find the charging cable very fiddly - it needs to be set at just the right angle for it to charge. Not a massive problem but annoying.
b) a much bigger issue for me is the accompanying app doesnt update via the google play store - I had to allow updating from a Huawei specific app store to get the latest version and enable SpO2 monitoring... I really dont like this from a security perspective.
c) the auto-detect for exercise seems much less effective than fitbits - again for me this is really just a minor annoyance, but worth knowing.
d) Sleep tracking is almost as good as the fitbit, but seems a bit less inclined to track awake times - but I always found fitbit to be a overly optomistic with its stats on that anyway.
So overall, as a watch with step and sleep tracking its pretty good - certainly at a price point of roughly 30-40% of a fitbit I'm very happy. I'd have given 5 stars if the app updated via google play.
