Honor Band 6 review: Attractive and affordable Smart Watch

 

 Looking at  the Honor Band 6  may be a great value proposition on paper and may be a smart and affordable wearable in practice. 

The Honor Band 6 isn't a smartwatch, although at now the division lines are very blurry. it's an outsized display, a bunch of sensor and tracking for all kinds of sports and displays notifications.

The Honor Band 6 is a reasonable fitness tracker from Honor that boasts an outsized screen and basic smartwatch features. With an SpO2 sensor and stress management tools, it offers quite the bare-bones experience for those looking to enhance their health. That said, there also are variety of missteps, bugs, and omissions that prevent this from being a robust contender for fitness aficionados on a budget. Read our full Honor Band 6 review to find out more.

Design

We aren't here to argue semantics but rather check the worthiness of the Band 6. It feels light on the wrist because of its weight of just 18 grams without the straps. Honor upgraded the AMOLED panel over its predecessor and now it's 1.47” in diagonal, compared to 0.95” on the respect Band 5.

There is quite huge black bezel round the screen which cheapens the looks a touch bit, and that’s really obvious in situations where the brightness is at max. The strap is long enough and may be adapted to all or any wrists. 

The charger for the respect Band 6 is magnetic, with dual pogo pins. Not only is it proprietary but it is also different so if you're coming from the Band 5 you can't use the old one. However the one from the respect Watch ES works.

Features and battery life

Just like the other modern Honor wearable, this one tracks SpO2 (blood oxygen levels), stress through the guts rate sensor, and brings TruSleep 2.0 technology for a far better understanding of sleep patterns. Sports-wise, there are 10 pre-loaded modes including running, swimming, or riding a motorcycle , and you'll even create a custom one.

The battery lifetime of the respect Band 6 is advertised as 14 days. It are often done, because of the efficienct Kirin A1 chipset and therefore the lightweight Lite OS.

The actual battery life we had is about 10 days, which remains a huge accomplishment - that has TruSleep activated, constant pulse tracking, recreational sports activities, and a few notifications and alarms. the facility cell on the within is 180 mAh, and charges from 0 to 100% in under an hour.

Should you buy it?

The Honor Band 6 gets tons right and does enough to offer Xiaomi cause for concern. That said, it also drops the ball during a few key areas because of some bugs and lack of polish. If you’re trying to find something which will count your steps, record your route and pulse during walks, and monitor your sleep, this is often a beautiful option. If you’re serious about fitness, try out the honor Band 6
