Yes you only need to phone to install watch faces, and customization. But it will work (count steps and track health without your mobile phone) Thank you Altaf for your response to parisa!
High five! Same here, I got a Xiaomi Mi Band7 but I went back to using the Huawei Band7 because of the rectangle screen and the physical button. It would have been perfect for me if we can download new AOD Skins :( instead of the fixed 5 choices. But at this price range I guess you cant have everything.
So far I have only tested sms notifications, but other reviewers say the options are limited. I think Xiaomi Band 7 might be better for you if app notifications are important. You can also visit Huawei stores so you can test yourself if the app notification will work before you decide to buy just to be sure!
Nice review. Can I ask if you can set Event Reminders on this band and if they show up in full on the band display (e.g. 6-8 words) even when not connected to the phone via Bluetooth? I'm trying to find out if they are recorded internally in the band and can display without phone support.
there are also other reviews saying you cant sync it with other health apps. But they say the Xiaomi Mi Bands can do this! i think its because Huawei is banned from using google apps so they cannot sync with other apps using google technology.
I read that most of the watch faces of the band are paid. I wonder wheter the ones that are free are good enough? And how many of them are there? What do you think?
@@cozyandyummy thanks, i thought sleep monitoring will become better on future iterations. I own a huawei band 4 pro and the sleep monitoring works fine
Hello Renan! It depends on the person may taong konti vibrate lang nagigising na. You can go to any Huawei Store and try the actual watch to check for yourself if the vibration is strong enough to wake you up. :)
so far ito na po pinaka mura. Out of stock na yun Band 6. At yun mga mas mura po walang Always On Display. Kailangan nyo pa igalaw yung Braso ninyo para makita yun time. Pero kung hindi nyo kailangan ng Always on Display, subukan nyo po mag hanap ng Xiaomi Band 6 sa Shopee baka magkaroon restock :)
it's a scratch resistant glass, they just didn't say if it's gorilla glass. So far after 6 months mine is still scratch-less. So it's good for everyday use unless you accidentally step on it.
Congrats I hope you love it! I bought a Xiaomi Band7 because the AOD Watchfaces of Huawei B7 is only limited to 5 designs... but I went back to using the Huawei B7 because it just looks better on the wrist! Also I can turn off the Huawei Band Manually when I'm not using it and turn it on again using the Power On button. The Xiaomi Band doesn't have a button, you need to charge it to turn it on again which is a hassle.
Hi Alex thanks for watching! I like both, The Xiaomi's Always On Display Screen can be changed by downloading new Watch Faces. The Huawei can't do this, it only has 5 Always On Watchfaces. But Huawei has a Physical ON/OFF button which is great if you want to save battery. When I'm not using the watch I turn it off, and turn it ON the next day without the need to plug it to a charger. The Xiaomi watch can't be turned on without a charger because it doesn't have a button. It depends what is more important to you. For me I'm currently using the Huawei Band 7. I just turn it OFF and keep it inside my Bag. Then I just turn it ON whenever I'm going out.
@@Al3x1388 nope, Huawei are pretty bad, fibit is the best for heart rate track, but it over counts steps and doesn't have a very good heart rate tracker. Huawei has a very good heart rate track and a good step counter, but it has the worst sleep tracker. The mi band seems to fall in-between, it okaish in all categories.... Also it's worth noting that the Huawei band 7 and band 6 have Terrible waterproofing.
Hi Meng! Thanks for watching, here's the watchface link. :) it's for the Band 6 but it's compatible with the Band 7. Then I used an old version of the Huawei Health App that can sideload a custom watchface (.HWT file). amazfitwatchfaces.com/h-band-6/view/482
no connectivity issues! but you need to keep the huawei health installed because if you run out of battery the time will be out of sync. You cant manually adjust the time in the watch. You need to connect it to the app to update the time after running out of battery.
You can download the watchface files from amazfitwatchfaces dot com! Download faces for Huawei HONOR BAND 6. They are compatible with HB7. (file type is .HWT) Then you can install the watchface files using an old version of the Huawei Health app. (old version can install watchface from the HWT file). Enjoy!!
Does the step counter work without the phone around? Actually I do not want to use my phone to use this watch
Offcource it does ....thts why its smart watch
Yes you only need to phone to install watch faces, and customization. But it will work (count steps and track health without your mobile phone)

Does it allow the user to answer calls and read sms and whatsapp notifications
Thanks for sharing! I'm totally ok with these "cons", I love the GPS tracking, price, and battery life, will get one soon

Is it record the sleep through the day or only in night like mi band 3
@@jokerco2020 both even naps
Heyy from where did u buy the honour band which is the website. Can u share the link? For purchase in India (7&8)
Hi ,pwede bub gamitin sa outdoor running na no need yung phone dalhin and the band can play music connected to wireless headphones?
How accurate id the sleep tracker function in it?
Can you receive notifications for any app installed on the phone or just apps that Huawei decided to include?

Hi.... can i add flashlight in the shortcut? Beside the dnd?
Yes its already available in the shortcuts!
@@cozyandyummy Thank you so much. Now i will buy, thanks to you, easy access to flashlight is important to me.
Does the screen light up when raising the hand?
yes you can turn that feature on or off. thanks for dropping by!

Does this watch get the step sync with samsung phone and its Samsung health app?
hi Altaf thanks for dropping by LT! No i dont think so, it only uses its own huawei app to track steps.
there are also other reviews saying you cant sync it with other health apps. But they say the Xiaomi Mi Bands can do this! i think its because Huawei is banned from using google apps so they cannot sync with other apps using google technology.
hi. doe this model have TEMPERATURE sensor? thanks.
Hi Yara! Sorry it doesnt have body temp sensor. Only blood oxygen and heartbeat monitor. Plus sleep tracking.
@@cozyandyummy thanks. I have the 6 pro and it does have. Wished they would have keep it.
Is it record the sleep through the day or only in the night like mi band 3
Yes but it's not very accurate. I don't recommend this for Sleep Tracking.
Yes even records naps I love it
Quick reply ba sayo boss ma edit mo? Sakin kasi hindi ma edit di ko nga ma open2x yung quick reply settings sa app
Pde ba isync yan sa samsung health or google fit app?
from what I know it only works with Huawei Health. The Xiaomi Mi Band 7 is more flexible it can sync with other apps!
I read that most of the watch faces of the band are paid. I wonder wheter the ones that are free are good enough? And how many of them are there? What do you think?
May indoor run po? Thank you
hi to measure MPVA need to choose the workout mode ?
yes you need to choose a workout mode for better tracking. :)
2 questions,
Does a regular watch strap fit this?
Is the sleep monitoring monitors if you sleep in the morning?
Great question! No but there are many replacement straps online just search for Huawei Band7 strap. Not recommended as well for sleep monitoring.
@@cozyandyummy thanks, i thought sleep monitoring will become better on future iterations. I own a huawei band 4 pro and the sleep monitoring works fine
planning to get one. is this compatible with iOS?
yes but no gps and music and you cant answer calls
thank you slavonija for replying to Jud!
rick and morty watch face sir where did you download it?
amazfitwatchfaces website! get the huawei file from there, its under the Huawei Band 6 watchfaces. It will work with the Band 7 :)
@@cozyandyummy how do you add it in the app tho?
Where you got Rickmorty face!!!!
I need this badly😭😭😭😭
Get shwiftyyy! Haha google amazefitwatchfaces then go to the Huawei Band 6 section, you can install the band6 faces on the band7. :)
Does this feed data to Strava or Relive?
sad to say no. The Xiaomi Mi Band7 is a better choice if you need to sync with Strava
Is it only possible for it to count calories when you're active? Would have liked it to count all day
it will count all day calories, same with the steps you've taken all day.
Does the Band 7 and Band 8 have NFC?
Hi Boss Tim! Thanks for visiting the channel, sorry no it doesnt have NFC.
I buy 2 huawei band 6, after 1 year, both of them broken and cannot be repair, just right after the warranty void.
thanks for sharing Nicky Minaj. Boom badumdum you got that supa bass!
My Honor 7 is useless. The Honor Health app only records steps but does not register heart rate, sleep or anything else.
Does it measure kilometres or miles?
you can change it in the app, same with Celsius/Fahrenheit.
Hello sir, how about po sir sa alarm vibration niya po, enough po ba para magising po?
Hello Renan! It depends on the person may taong konti vibrate lang nagigising na. You can go to any Huawei Store and try the actual watch to check for yourself if the vibration is strong enough to wake you up. :)
@@cozyandyummy thank you!
Ano po marerecommend nyong mura na mas ok sa features ng huawei band 7?

it is tempered glass or not. means scratchless

How did you get that rick and morty watchface bro?
How to ckean and msintain this watch how many years it will last?
Turn it off if you're not wearing it. This way the Battery will last longer :) less re-charge needed and less wear and tear for the battery.
Just got mine today 😊

Is there GPS in band 7?
Theres a GPS version, you can get the BAND 7 PRO instead if you need GPS.
What are those big numbers?
Hi Bossing Claudio! which part of the video are you referring to?
18/14 for example [3:19 min]
I need a second hand clock display para sa work. Available po ba ito?
yes there are watch faces with a second hand pero it will eat up your battery faster just expect less battery life :)
what would you choose between Huawei band 7 and xiaomi band 7?
