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.

@amiiityadav 2 роки тому

Vowww dude.... Such a detailed comparison.... Really liked the content

@ok-tchau 2 роки тому

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.

@skysky4198 9 місяців тому

Does it measure the colorie burn correctly? Should i buy mi band 7 or honor band 6?

@ok-tchau 9 місяців тому

@@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.

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.

@giggity4670 2 роки тому

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.

Thank you for your excellent review. I have been using it for 3 months. Got an oppotunity to test against hospital equipment and found out that SPo2 and HR reading were accurate but with lag. Sleep and wake are also accurate. Low price and good battery life. One more thing to consider, every watch same model may differ.
