  • 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.

    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).

    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?

    • @SimonG3
      @SimonG3  11 місяців тому +1

      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.

      I Wouldn't say it scratches easily, no. The watch strap is rubber - it's for sport. If you want a breathable strap you need to buy one :)

    Does anyone actually use fitness watches for thier function or is it like a visual motivator to make one feel like they are doing something? I mean steps per day is pretty useless without a clear goal, you can just walk few time aruond the block if your goal is general fitness. If you go out of your way to track exact numbers then you should have an exact goal and I would expect a review to include exporting features, and can you import the data into a spreadsheet for analysis and progress tracking ect.
    All smartphone will tell you the weather and temp, there is no situation where that would be critical information that a watch needs to tell you.

    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

    • @SimonG3
