Many thanks to Rob and Frederik (and his FUN:D SCIENCE FOUNDATION) for their help with the OpenBCI device. - Наука та технологія
I never comment on videos, but this is really the best most scientific review I've ever seen, i actually feel inspired to learn coding and science stuff to do cool things, you make grad school seem cool, thanks dude
Now this is what I call a review for a fitness band. You're the hero we needed
Such high quality and detailed videos :)
Much appreciated Max!!
@@TheQuantifiedScientist which is better? i am planning to buy one of these bands between huawei band 6 or honor band 6.
@@countryboysadventures7175 which one did you go for brother, I'm also stuck with same confusion ryt now.
Of course the quality is high and details are given. He is a PhD 😎🤓
i thought of buying mi band 6, but your videos helps me to save my money, and decided to get honor band 6. Big thank you 🔥
Same here
Same!

Dude! Nice work on these videos. Cool to see how technical you get with the reviews. Excellent work!
Kudos Dude. The level of attention to details is amazing.
Thank you for the work you put into these videos, I know it must be really tedious and time consuming. You're one of the few youtubers who actually work their ass off to make their buck uploading such quality content. Keep churning out these videos and we will support you through this journey. Subscribed and watched all vids end to end. :)
Yeah, wow, I'm surprised with how detailed and amazingly-done this test is. Congrats!
This video is on a completely different level from all other reviews for this device. Thanks for making it.
This is really in detail video. Loved the way you shared detailed information about the Band. Happy to be your channel's subscriber.
This is literally the best comparison man you really worked hard and it shows. Well done, i subscribed
Wowwwww. The effort and information about the item is amazing. Thank you!
I've bought the Honor Band 6 based on this video. I'm happy to corroborate with how accurate the heart rate is. I've used it along with my old Polar (F6 Watch + T3 chest strap) checking numerous times and the readings were almost always the same or within an insignificant 2 BPM margin of error. The few times that read 3 or 4 (rare) beats apart, it took no longer than 2 seconds for the reading to go back to the 2 BPM margin. So if you need a chest strap replacement, I fully recommend this product.
However, be advised that the distance counter while walking on a treadmill is completley useless (stationary wrist). At the end of the workout you can manually correct the distance walked, however, the band limit this adjustment to a ridiculously tiny window, not even close to make up for the huge difference. You need to input the entire workout data manually on the app but there's no option to include the average heart rate, rendering the whole thing mostly useless.
One more thing: if the device (phone/tablet) you're using to pair the band is on a language other than English or Chinese, the band will be stuck with the default chinese language. I had to switch my Android to English, pair it so that the band could automatically change it to English, and than unpair the band from the phone before returning the Android to my native language, otherwise the band would go back to chinese.
Does it measure the colorie burn correctly? Should i buy mi band 7 or honor band 6?
@@skysky4198 I have no way to test it. But since it also measure calories from "stactic" exercises I believe the equation revolves around the personal data (age sex, weight, etc) in relation to the duration and intensity (heart rate) of the exercise. As the band gets right all these measurements, I believe the calories burned should be correct.
As always, great video! Can't wait for mi band 6.
The best accuracy tests ever performed on UA-cam. Thanks a lot 😊 And when Honor band 5's accuracy tests video is coming?
Thanks Rob! Very informative video, as always
Thanks Xavier!
Always looking forward on your video. Can't wait for the huawei band 6 review. 😊
Loved this video, great information! Any plans in doing one for Mi Band 6 in the future?
For others reading this comment: He did! Short version: it actually seems somewhat worse than the band 5 when it comes to accuracy, and O2 sensor is possibly ok/decent data but he didn't test it thoroughly. I hoped this wasn't true and read some other stuff, and it seems like his results line up with what I see from other sources, unfortunately. I went with band 5 as a result.
@@KyleBaker good decision
Been waiting for this! This is how smart watches/fitness trackers should've been reviewed
When is the video coming out for the mi band 6? This channel really stands out in the sea of smaller tech review channels. Very underrated. 100k subs here we go!!
Deep data analysis and so hard work done in this video.... excellent video...always continue these types of video...
Fantastic review. Hope you'll get around to do the Mi Band 6!
This is one of best videos. With details no body can match dedication of you
so much work done on your side and breakdown on scientific comparison! thanks!!
Hi! Thank you for those awesome scientific tests of fit bands :). Well done! I was wondering which fit band would you recommend for step counting?
Thank for you always detailed and well researched videos
Thank you very much for your reviews - When it comes to fitness band/watch - the most important point is how accurate they are - can they be trusted - And you have made it possible for all of us to buy these things on the basis of that. All other things we all can review by ourself.
High quality and detail review. Good Job✌️
I was looking forward to this video!!! Super useful as always 🔝🙏🏻 thank you!!!
I'm in awe with your videos. Hats off! Only thing I'd welcome is outdoor running reviews! My Huawei Band 4 and my Mi Band 6 have almost a km difference for every 5K run! Quite frustrating! Keep it up! ❤️
Very nice informative and hard worked upon content ! Keep it up!!
Incredible how you word the data analyses so precisely! Kind of like a lawyer's clauses and disclaimers. Thank you for this insightful and informative video!
Quite a bit if hard work you've put in for making this video 👍🏻
Great work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
awesome level of details in your review, bravo!
This deserves more subscribers, very informative,😊😊
I love these tests! It's important that you do these so you can we can tell how accurate the data we are getting from these bands are.
I would love to see a ranking of which devices are the best for each metric of tracking and overall.
It'd also be cool to know what the prices of equipment are that you use for your reference data and what equipment you use personally too.
Great point! Hopefully I will have time to make the videos you suggest. Thanks for commenting Alexander!👍
@@TheQuantifiedScientist No rush, I'm excited to see it!
so much effort to make a video, thank you so much.
Wowwwwwww, such a gooooood and detailed review. It was amazing mate.
Your review for the "Auto Bahn 6" was great!
Most beautiful video.
You deserve the best bro.
Keep going.
Very helpful thanks for taking the time.
Dude your amazing ! love the science parallel analysis ^.^
Glad you enjoy it!👍😊
You're the right guy I found in here explaining stuff in details about its actual efficiency. If others wouldn't know better looking at the right place, they'd get consume in the hype proliferated by other reviewers.
Thanks for your detailed reviews
Amazing quality content! Subscribed!
Outstanding review and good video!
Excellent video thanks for this
Fantastic video tq you for your detailed information
I love your channel as gives us all a real information. Thank you for that. Can you please do another test year after on the product as an update firmware was released?
This video is very informative and helpful. Thank you so much👍👍👍
So nice of you Kevin!
Dedication for making video is outstanding...
YOU THE MAN ROB!
Awesome video brother. Just loved it. I subbed the channel even before watching the video as I was already hyped seeing the Title of the video. Thanks for making this video buddy. Keep up the great work. I hope you always do some comparison videos among the same Budget Segment Wearables.✅🔥💚
Hi Rob, thanks for your vids and that section on the SPO2 measurements. Lots of devices are coming out with this feature and it's good to know how they actually perform. Cheers!
Thanks! I have measured it for most devices I tested, but was always reluctant to include it, since I was not completely happy with the test. However, for this video I thought I would try, and see if people would find it helpful, so thanks for the feedback!!
Thanks I find it extremely important. My wife has an lung/blood vessels disease and it's great to have a 24/7 detection..
@@TheQuantifiedScientist It would be nice to have it, I was looking for a fitbit charge 4 video with SPO2, I think it would be very helpful with this pandemic, to know if we can trust in the device like the honor 6. nice job.
Great reviews! Keep it up!
You did a review of the Withings thermometer, but didn't exactly recommend it. Is there a connected, preferably continuous, thermometer you would recommend?
I usually don't comment in videos, bt this video has clear, crisp n honest review. Hats off n keep up ur work.
bought this after your review... keep this uniqueness & authenticity going... 🇧🇩
You make awesome videos, extremely detailed
This channel deserves way more attention than what it has now.
Hard work never fails...good work buddy
Really appreciate your work. Glad to find you out. Could you also share your full accuracy test of Honor Bank 5 as it was mentioned in SPO2 section of this video.
You are the best! Scientific tests here tells me more than all the written reviews that just quotes the features of the smartwatch but no way of knowing how accurate they are.
the wait was worth it. thank you!
My pleasure Rohit!
Thank you Scientist for helping me to grab the right device. This content is golden! Well done.
Vowww dude.... Such a detailed comparison.... Really liked the content
Very scientific video. Thank you sir. Please continue to make this video
Great job dude! 👍
love you for this review
Hi Rob, thank you so much for the detailed and thought out videos. You've made fitness tracker buying almost seamless. I say almost because I was hoping you could help me with a recommendation. On my budget I've narrowed it down to the Honor Band 6 and the Huawei Band 6. My main concern is accurate heart rate readings and pedometer readings. Which device would you say is superior with these functions in mind? Again thank you so much for the quality content and have a blessed day.
I guess he not read the comments much might be a bit late but in the vid he said that Honor band 6 uses the same tech as Huawei so they wont be much different between them both as they use the same equipment and software so go with the one you like best and they are only a base line smart bands not really 100% yet still a small margin of error on them all. I got the Honor band 6 as I liked the look of the app it uses just look nicer for me so look up both app and see what you like best as dont think they will be any different in terms of heart rate.
Great analysis. Thanks
Awesome testing, just what I was after! I have decided to buy this tracker based on your review.
Looking forward to your video on how you make a meal selection for dinner ;-)
You deserved more subscribers. Hence let me be among the first 100K, done subscribed.
Great review! Saw this and ordered one in the next 5 minutes even though it's mostly sold out online here in India. Don't "need" a wearable, getting one for playing around and a feel.
inscribed, you did a great job mate
Your reviews are amazing! I wish everyone would do this kind of solid and reliable background researches and experiments before making any videos. Then the experience of watching review videos would have been more satisfying.
Thank you.
Finally you got one! I actually commented on one of your videos to test this hahaha. I hope you can test Amazfit gts 2 mini next since i already switched to it already.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 That was really great presentation
Big THX for your work!!!!!
Please, please do same tests on Mi band 6.... Truly Loved your work, we await for it
thanks for your work. appreciate
awesome video :) as usual
Amazing review brother ...much love from India 👍👍❤️
Very good analysis,,thanks
Underrated channel..
thank you so so much. I'm from Bangladesh.. it helped me a lot to understand and decide.
Great review 👍
Great videos, you just earned a subscriber!
Would be great to see your info on the Mi Band 6
Wow you should’ve have millions of subscribers !!!
Honor Band 5 is one of the very few trackers with hi/low heart rate alerts. That and the low price make it worth a buy imo. Even with the wonky sleep tracking.
You could try Wim Hod Breathing to artificially lower your spo2 levels without changing the external environment. During the hold phase of the method I could get my pulse oximeter to display values as low as 74% for a brief period of time.
Great work very scientific appreciate.
I’ll major in biophysics in 3 years then I’ll be heading to med-school. And sir I admire your work. Great job on these videos, I immediately subscribed. 👍
I hope I see more of these amazingly scientific videos in the near future.
Great video!! thx!! I`ll wait for a comparison between Honor band 6 vs Mi band 6
Something very rare kind of video. Appriciated
Awesome review 👍
Brilliant video
Hi quantified scientist, I was wondering when your amazfit band 5 review will be coming out?
Many thanks
Just Subscribed 💚
Great content 👍🏽
Please make 2 more videos, 1st one is the same detailed testing video of Mi Band 6, 2nd one is a detailed comparison video of Honor Band 6 vs Mi Band 6..
(these 3 videos are the most wanted tech video of recent times)
Best of luck
Thanks for the sub!
Hopefully I'll get the Mi Band 6 soon!
Great test!! Which smartband would you recommend after your test results? Thanks for all
Watched this video after I ordered thru online. Thanks God, I made a right decision.
