Product details

The Huawei Band 8 is a state-of-the-art activity tracker wristband equipped with an impressive AMOLED display. With a screen diagonal of 3.73 cm (1.47 inches) and a resolution of 194 x 368 pixels, the display is crystal clear and sharp. It features an optical heart rate sensor that allows for accurate real-time measurements. This enables users to easily monitor their heart rate during workouts or throughout the day. The device has a battery life of up to 14 days, which should be sufficient for most users. Weighing only 14 g, the Huawei Band 8 is a very lightweight device. Despite its small size and low weight, the device is robust and durable enough to withstand the demands of daily use.

  • PositiveGood display

The heart rate measurement is inaccurate and there is no GPS data during training without a smartphone. It is also hardly smart - apps and NFC are missing. At least Huawei can shine with good data protection.

Smartwatches and fitness wristbands are now real all-rounders: they serve as heart rate monitors and altimeters, count steps, calculate distance travelled and calories burned and analyse sleep patterns. Some can also be used to play music, make phone calls or send and receive messages. If you want, you can even find models that generate ECGs, measure blood pressure or enable contactless payment.

Huawei has retained the stylish design of its Band 8, but there are no major innovations. The new fitness tracker not only looks like a twin of its predecessor on the outside. Its successor is also plagued by problems such as inaccurate heart rate measurement and a lack of automatic training recognition...
