#BAND APP REVIEW PRO#
I paired the band with a Huawei Mate X2 for the first two days, then switched over to the Vivo X60 Pro Plus, and both worked fine. Around the back is the typical heart rate sensor that can continuously track your heart rate throughout the day.Īs mentioned in the beginning of this review, pairing with the Huawei Health app is required to set up the band. The actual tracker measures about half an inch in thickness so it’s thin enough to not get in the way when putting on or taking off long-sleeved shirts and jackets. The screen fills up roughly 85% of the device’s face, so bezels are relatively slim there’s a single physical button on the right side, and the left side has Honor’s logo etched onto the plastic frame. This 194 x 368 AMOLED panel is sharp, vibrant, and easily visible even under direct sunlight. The biggest improvement over the Honor Band 5 from 2019 is an increase in screen size from 0.95″ to 1.45″. Honor had no inputs in the contents of this review. This review is after using the device for more than a week. This alone makes the band sort of notable, but how does it perform?Ībout this review: Honor sent us the Honor Band 6 for review. This makes the Band 6 one of the last of its kind - future Honor products will no longer share this Huawei lineage. Moving forward, the representative told me, Honor products will be self-developed and will use their own ecosystem.

As this band was designed, manufactured, and even launched (in China) before the Honor brand sales were finalized, it remains a Huawei product. It turns out, the Honor Band 6 is a “transitional product,” at least that was what a representative from Honor told me.
#BAND APP REVIEW SOFTWARE#
So why is it that the Honor Band 6 is still tethered to a Huawei software service? Honor, as most readers already know, is no longer a part of Huawei the brand was sold last November as part of an attempt by the Chinese tech giant to keep its consumer business afloat despite mounting sanctions by the US government. Instead, the thing that made me do a double-take is that the Honor Band 6 still requires the app Huawei Health to work. They’re both nice, don’t get me wrong, but it’s nothing I haven’t seen before. If you want this to be your smartwatch for reading and responding to emails, however, that display real estate might be a bit limiting.The first thing that caught my attention as I unboxed and set up the Honor Band 6 wasn’t the fitness tracker’s design or build quality. Its 11mm x 33mm is much smaller than the Samsung Gear Fit's curved 1.85-inch AMOLED screen.īut you don't need a huge screen, since the fitness tracker isn't going to be showing off any intensive graphics.
#BAND APP REVIEW FULL#
The 1.4-inch TFT (320 x 106 pixels) full color display screen is crisp and bright with no pixelation in sight. With the space inundated, what's to keep everyone interested in the Microsoft Band other than brand name recognition? The answer is health, health, health. Not to mention every smartwatch has some version of fitness tracking built in. Fitbit also has a lineup that's gotten the masses in a running frenzy, including the newest three of the brood - the Fitbit Flex, Fitbit Charge (and Charge HR), and Surge.
#BAND APP REVIEW PLUS#
Jawbone already has the successful UP24, plus the UP3 coming out soon. Sneaking into a growing ocean of wearables, Microsoft has a long way to go if it wants to remain a top contender in the fitness tracking competition. Despite the high cost, the ninja release and the Microsoft brand seemed enough to keep people curious and ravenous for the Redmond ware, which sold out quickly at its initial US launch.
