Huawei Band 8 Review - All Screens, Weather, Workouts, etc.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2023
- Before I bought my Huawei Band 8, I had a lot of questions. I wanted to know about the heart rate monitor, the steps, the sleep monitor, the watch faces, but most importantly, I wanted to actually see all the screens on the watch. Too many of the reviews I found online were just little snippets. So I hope this review gives you a more thorough, unedited view of this watch so that you can decide if you want to purchase it or not.

Thank you for the great review, exactly everything I need to know. The best band 8 review so far!
Thank you :) I'm glad that it helped
keep up what you do. ur the only UA-camr who actually gave me all the specifications.
thank you :)
Would u recommend getting it @@SimonG3
Thank you for this review.
Thank you!
Thank you 🙏🏼
I’m glad it was helpful 😊
@@SimonG3honestly bro, it’s the way you explained it in detail and made understandable for a ‘tech reject’ like me so I’m grateful .. keep doing what you do .. I’ll subscribe to your channel 🙏🏼
Thank you. It's a good review. Do you think it is better than Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 in terms of accuracy?
I’ve never tried that smartwatch sorry
Thanks for video. I'm thinking of purchasing one. Could you tell me if this has vibrate function with alarms, or silent mode with alarm and vibrate??
It vibrates, yes. It does not make an alarm sound.
Can u tell me if this is able to monitor/take blood pressure?@@SimonG3
Your Amazon link leads to the Band 7. I recently got my Band 8 from AliExpress, but of course it’s the China version. I can’t seem to find the global version anywhere.
Some thing I’ve found is that there are features that don’t work if you’re in the US but have the Chinese version, ie Strava won’t connect and you can’t get more “faces” (on iPhones at least).
My link actually doesn't work anymore - Amazon cuts you off if you don't make sales :-/
Can you use stopwatch while also tracking a workout? Basically if I wanted to time my sets while also tracking the workout alongside without pausing or stopping the actual workout mode?
Unfortunately I don’t think that’s possible. You can swipe between music and your workout
@@SimonG3 damnit that’s like a big turn down for me. You know any bands under 50 bucks that might be doing that? While also being as accurate as this band 8
Hey only had the watch less than a week so not sure if this is an update or not, but on the health app under notifications- there seems to be an "other" toggle and I was definitely getting pretty much all my phones notifications. Test it out?
Yes thanks for the comment - the issue there is you literally get every notification, which wasn't what I was hoping for - but if that works for you, then that's great
@@SimonG3I think there is a way to toggle what notifications go under Other, but I don’t know how to yet. Also I figure we could use the Focus modes on the phone to mitigate random notifications.
Can u set a timer of 90 sec and have it easily reachable ??????
Yes
hey man has there been any updates improving the accuracy etc?
I actually think it is more accurate after recent software updates - considering a new one is about to be released - you could find one of these for cheap and they are a good option.
@SimonG3 thanks champ appreciate that
Can we get what’s app & call notifications with sound ???
With sound, no. It vibrates.
You should do more reviews
Thanks for the encouraging words, what kind of things would you like to see reviewed?
How do you download apps on the watch
It doesn’t support new apps. But supports new faces. You do it in the huawei health app
Have you noticed that the weather can not be updated constantly? I am wondering whether its an issue or its the normal function of the weather....
Usually it does pretty well. Once in a while it doesn’t update constantly. But usually it does.
@@SimonG3 thanks for the additional explanation. And also thank you for the great review.
Thanks for stopping by ;) @@TheNate1986
Can you control music volume on iphone?
Yes 👍
@@SimonG3 tnx
I'm getting this watch in 4 days mainly for tracking steps but hearing that it isnt accurate sucks ☹️
I would say that overall it actually tracks fine. And also you can put it into walking mode which might make the tracking more accurate. You will enjoy the band don’t worry 😊
Having thoughts of buying this one for the watch faces,heart rate,sleep tracking and most importantly step tracking since I'm overweight,
But it looks like a complete waste of money -_-
I'll just stick to my traditional digital watch unless these budget category fitness devices starts to show accurate results
I would say it’s accurate enough for 40 bucks. If you really want perfection you need to buy a Samsung or apple ($$$)
Heart rate is actually very accurate. Only sleep tracking is wacky.
