Thank you so much, Eddie. That was a fantastic 18 minutes explaining how to get the most from the Band 8. I feel like I am 'at one' with this new watch, thanks to you. Best wishes. ☺
Hi there, if i start an outdoor run i don't have the gps icon at all (you have it 0:39). is it paired phone specific? what phone do you pair with your band (some Huawei i suppose)?
Under the Huawei band specs I see that it has to be Huawei or iOS phone. I have no GPS connection on my samsung phone, and I have to start run from the Health app which is really bad.
Not configuration but there will be some difference for sure. You have an NFC chip for doing payments but you can't use this outside of Asia. It's for thair region.
@@BuildWealthThroughKnowledge I'm not from Asia, so NFC won't do. I will buy the Chinese version. Another question, is there a difference in battery consumption on my cell phone and the Band 8 if I leave it connected to Bluetooth all the time? I remember that in other smartwatches the battery drained.
Bluetooth will cost you some smartphone battery but not a lot. Im always connected and I dont think its that much but I charge my phone every day anyway. You can test it out and see. The fitness bund can work without being connected to the phone constantly but you will not get the notifications then.@@LLuaNN_
Hi there. Just bought my band 8 a few days ago. Can I ask for your help? I would like to use the ECG feature but I dont know how. I hope you could help me out. Thanks
So the band only detects walking and running? what about other types of exercises like dancing, strength training, basketball etc? Does it not reflect that?
Thanks Eddie, just a detail: is it possible to connect the band to an external HRM so to display in real time on the band the heart rate monitored by the external HRM and not by its own internal sensor?
@@EgidioLista Np, ok. You cant connect the band to external HRM. But, if your external HRM has a smartphone app, you can get notification from that app on your smartwatch.
@@BuildWealthThroughKnowledge thanks a lot. does the huawei watch fit 3 have the feature to connect to an external HRM via bluetooth instead? thanks again
Hello, nice video .. :) I am interested in purchasing two watches-one for myself and the other for my mother-to monitor our health stats. Is it possible to manage and view the data from both watches using a single app on my phone? I would like to ensure that I can easily differentiate between the two sets of data. Thank you!
i use a pixel 6a and my huawei band 8 is a global version one. 1..... The problem is that my band doesn't have the remote shutter option but i really need it, 2...... is their any way to install third party software in my band, 3...... what is the harm in modded heath app or it's just gold? please reply, i am from a far country and i've become a fan.
If it's not there then It can be that it's because of the Smartphone you using. Probably, there is no support for Pixel phones. There is nothing you can do here, sorry.
Hmm not sure, I dont have the fitness band with me but I know that with every finess tracker you can do that and it will work fine. Maybe there is and exception with this one.@@ahmedmustafa8166

Excellent review, gave me all the info i needed 👍
can you reject incoming call via quick reply msg (ex. "not now, call u bk later")?
Why is that my huawei band 8 doesnt have a camera shutter??
Mine too
I saw at Huawei website that the feature is only available to phones with EMUI 8.1.

It can be that its because of the phone. I use Google Pixel

Can you go back when workout mode is on? And let it work in the background? Basically Can I use stopwatch while also tracking my workout?
Thank you! Does the remote shutter work for video also?
Hi there. Just bought my band 8 a few days ago. Can I ask for your help? I would like to use the ECG feature but I dont know how. I hope you could help me out. Thanks
Hey, you can ask any question you like. Huawei Band 8 does not have ECG.
So the band only detects walking and running? what about other types of exercises like dancing, strength training, basketball etc? Does it not reflect that?
I don't have the 'shutter remote' menu on my Hwa Wei Band 8.
How come?
Does each unit has different specifications?
Sorry...how you choose the workout type?
Can I go for running without the phone and see the statistics on the app after connecting it again? Will it sync it?
Yes
I can’t reply messages. I don’t have the quick response there.
I don't have the quick response icon on my huawei band 8 either
As far as I know, it doesn't work on iphone. Is that ur case?
Thanks Eddie, just a detail: is it possible to connect the band to an external HRM so to display in real time on the band the heart rate monitored by the external HRM and not by its own internal sensor?
No, but if you have the app for it you can make the app send the notification to the watch.
@@BuildWealthThroughKnowledge sorry Eddie, didn't understand. Could you please clarify in detail? very appreciated
@@EgidioLista Np, ok. You cant connect the band to external HRM. But, if your external HRM has a smartphone app, you can get notification from that app on your smartwatch.

@@EgidioLista Not a problem. The answer is no.
i have a pixel too, can't find the gps for the workout. also is there a drink water reminder
Check the app. If it's not there then no. About GPS, not sure.
Does it answer calls
Excellent video. Detailed & helpful.
Thanks! 👍

Hi.If you ask me, I would say buy Mi Band 8. its much better. As far as I know you can't connect 2 bans to the same phone.
Hi, are you able to answer a call on the huawei band 8? Thanks
I am also searching for that and I want it😭😭😭
@DuckyLOL... O. Why?, why? O. Why? Why??
Because it’s inexpensive to buy probably 😂
There is no heart rate variability on it ?

Hi. Can I connect my AirPods to the band?
Gps connected to phone ?
Thanks a lot
if i connect it with my smartphone is it goign to use GPS cuz im running in my house and i dont want to carry my smartphone
Is the stand reminder not working for anyone else? It doesn’t detect that I’m sitting
Usually, that feature is not very precise.
How to check blood pressure on band 8
Can I receive a notification from messenger? Outlook?
I belive you can get notifications from any app.
How can I select my agenda în my band ? I don't know...
agenda?
Can I swim with it???
Yes
What is the maximum amount of quick replies you can add?
Sorry, don't know.
I've checked, it's 15.
Does it have compass?
Nop.
But I don't hv remote shutter
Is it waterproof
You can shower and swim with it but don't do diving. But its better if you don't swim with it.
my manual says swimming is fine, as long as it is not too deep, but hot showers and hot tubs are not good for your watch@@BuildWealthThroughKnowledge
How do you answer an incomming call??
@DuckyLOL... so if you have wireless earbuds in, you can’t answer a call?
Can it measure your BP..??
Nop.
@@BuildWealthThroughKnowledge Oh.. Do you know any smartwatch that has both BP and ECG..??
At what price? Also please take in consideration that No smartwatch will give you accurate data when it comes to BP.@@yuki48121
The only version measures blood pressure is the Huawei Watch D, the reading is not far from pro medical device.
@@frankwu2699 why google says that both huawei band 7 and band 8 have blood pressure monitoring?
Is it essential to input weight on app
Not at all.
Thanks

Can you turn the Bluetooth OFF and wear it without Bluetooth? I need to know before I buy.
Ofc, you can. But you will not get any notifications from the smartphone like missed calls and messages.
@@BuildWealthThroughKnowledge I don't know why people everywhere say and complain that you cannot turn off the Bluetooth and it's always on.
Hmm not sure, I dont have the fitness band with me but I know that with every finess tracker you can do that and it will work fine. Maybe there is and exception with this one.@@ahmedmustafa8166
Can you receive calls ?
You will see when someone is calling you and you have an option to end the call. Thats all.
@@BuildWealthThroughKnowledge but you can’t receive
You cant talk trough the fittnes band. You can only see if someone is calling you.@@rhodalynshizzel6388
Theres an option quick replies
Nop.@DuckyLOL...
My huawei band 8 don't have remote shutter
Same. Mine doesnt also look like that :(
How to reply message ?
I don’t have the camera shatter why ??.
Hmm, it should be there. Connect Bluetooth to the band, open the camera app with your smartphone, and see if your band will show the camera option
@@BuildWealthThroughKnowledge i did and it is not there
Hmm not sure. Maybe there is an option in the mobile app so you need to enable that first. As far as I remeber I didnt enable it it was there but maybe Im remebering it wrong. @@ForeverPopa
The camera shutter feature only works with Huawei phones apparently.
It's a band 9
