    Fitness trackers are more affordable and functional than ever. And I try review the most capable and budget-friendly devices on the market.
    Expectetions were that the Huawei Band 4 is going to be more or less the same as the well known bother or sister brand - Honor - with the Band 5 series - but it is not.
    Let’s quickly unbox it: good signature and box by Huawei, way better than what happened with the Mi Band 4 unboxing; inside - there’s the fitness tracker, a short user guide, and that’s it. Huawei have reengineered the charging port. It’s not revolutionary, because other fitness trackers have similar implementation, but it is one of the rare occasions where you have a physical lock button on the band. You actually have to depress this button and the mechanism will let you easily unlock and get to the charging port. This idea is brilliant, of course it is too early to say about the durability of this approach, but so far for two weeks, including sleeping, doing sports, showering - I’ve noticed no issues at all.
    91mah battery, good for 7 days of usage, modified Bluetooth 4.2, water resistant, and very lightweight. Most of it is plastic, the display is luckily covered by glass, and the band is silicone rubber. In terms of design - it is very good looking, and if Mi Band is too roundish for you, this could appear to be more attractive.
    The processor is Appolo3 - same as used in Honor bands generation 4 and 5 - therefore responsiveness is comparable.
    Navigation is quite easy - capacitive button - which acts as a home button, swipe up and down to go through the menus, swipe right for quick access to the notifications, swiping left appears to do nothing. I noticed that as soon as you get more notifications - it may take around a second the panel to show up. Actually this is one of the features I like the most - the way these notifications are grouped.
    Sleep tracking is very precise - and as mentioned earlier - it has detected two day-naps I’ve had. Which makes me think that it will probably detect if you are sleeping during the day - something that for example Mi Band and Amazfit devices famously fail to do . Probably it is among the best in its class about that, and likely with the latest firmware, the Honor Band 5 can do the same.
    Battery life is the component that didn’t impress - with sleep tracking and continuous heartrate, and notifications - it is only around a week. Luckily - charging is very easy, and for the first time this year - one of the more serious brands comes up with a good device that has a USB port.
    Heartrate measuring is also superb. Waterproofness is good, but - despite the fact it is waterproof, there’s no swimming mode in the workout section.
    The Huawei Band 4 is really good; Sure - battery life is not as great as the phenomenal Mi Band 4 endurance, but for fitness tracking Huawei Band 4 is in its own league. Some minor things that could be addressed with firmware updates - like the missing swimming mode, music controls, and maybe - control for the screen on time duration. Other than that - it is an awesome basic tracker to have.

    I have been using both bands for quite some time. In the beginning, the Xiaomi excelled, until Huawei started adding features. Now, in my opinion, the Xiaomi excels in three areas only:
    1) longer battery life.
    2) Having the "Pool Swimming" workout (which is still not available on the Huawei Band 4, but there's a workaround where you can choose "Free Training", it will monitor your heart rate, but it will not count the strokes).
    3) Sharper screen resolution (which is not a big deal for me).
    4) The much wider options of watch faces (which is not a big deal for me).
    Huawei Band 4 excels in many other areas, e.g. the much more advanced sleep tracking, the innovative charging port (I don't have to worry about losing the charging cable or carrying it around with me), the Huawei Health app is much more advanced, and the latest firmware update added the SpO2 measurement on the Huawei Band 4. Plus the option to take photos with it without third party app (unlike the Mi Band 4).
    In my opinion, the Huawei Band 4 wins!

    The sceen is not OLED , is TFT. The difference is pretty big if you compare side by side with Honor Band 5 or Mi Band 4.

    THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION: Can I set up intervals 2:00min work / 0:30 min rest and do it in the cycle all over again - continuously???? Does the band has sound notification when the interval begins/stops???? These are the most important features... for me to have running intervals and to improve "time managing skills in life" And while runnning you can not be free from your smartphone because you will not have measured the distance etc???? You have to run with the smartphone in your pocket??

    • @TechMishka

      1. No intervals setting option

      There's no need the phone to be connected. As soon as the devices get close to each other, the band automatically reconnects and syncronizes the data.
      If they are connected, you will get notifications in real time. If they are disconnected - there are no notifications, but the rest works normally, and you can start sports activities, track heartrate, etc.

    Though the Xiaomi display looks brighter and more vibrant, I really like the styling of the Huawei Band 4 more. Unfortunately, it looks like that line is not so much intended for the U.S. market. It seems like Huawei intends their Honor devices for the U.S., as the Honor Band 5 is widely available on Amazon's U.S. site. Since the Xiaomi 4 wins out feature-wise, that's probably the choice I'd make, anyway. I just wish someone would make a rubber strap for it that also has a magnetic clasp. Magnetic clasp almost always gurarantees a metallic strap. I like those but would like to see them available in aluminum or titanium, and not just stainless steel. Magnetci clasps just give a quicker, easier, and more precise fit, IMO.

      @@moustous3712 Sure. From my experience...
      *Xiaomi Mi Band 5 - pro's:*
      - Nice bright amoled screen
      - More features than the HB4-Pro in the watch menu's (eg. last 7 days of step count, a choice of 3 on board alarm times)
      - Long battery life (Around 8 to 9 days)
      - Comfortable silicon strap
      - Stress level monitor
      - Has many watch faces to choose from in the Xi Fit app
      *Mi Band 5 cons:*
      - HRM not as accurate as the HB4-Pro HRM
      - Not very reliable at recognising naps in the day
      - No GPS which means you have to activate GPS on your phone and take your phone with you for the Mi band 5 to stay connected to your phone for it to keep track of your location if you're doing an outdoor workout that needs to measure distance
      - Over estimates the amount of calories you've burnt on a workout
      - No blood oxygen level reader
      - No blood pressure reader
      *Huawei Band 4 Pro - pro's*
      - Accurate HRM
      - Accurate sleep monitor
      - Has GPS which means it can be used independently from your phone
      - Has blood oxygen level reader
      - Has many watch faces to choose from in the Huawei Health app
      - Huawei Health App is well presented
      *Huawei Band 4 Pro - Cons:*
      - Short battery life (Around 4 to 5 days)
      - Can be little uncomfortable to wear after a few weeks
      - No stress level monitor
      - No blood pressure reader
      Please note: The above reviews are based on my comparison between the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 vs Huawei Band 4 *Pro* . The Hauwei Band 4 (without the *Pro* ) is not quite the same device and will be missing some of the features of the *Pro* version.

    Personally I appreciate the oximeter currently in use on the garmin vivosmart 4 I happen to have. Guessing the Huawei band 5 will sport it. The sleek design is nicer than honor's to my eyes, though vivosmart 4 is still narrower and subtle is all to me.
    Reason I find myself looking at other smart bands is the smart alarm clock feature that is entirely missing in garmin vivosmart 4, and no app support as opposed to their watches.
    Most users want to wake at most at a certain hour.
    In my case I want to get at most x hours of proper resting. Eg. go to sleep and want to sleep 1 cylce (generally 1.5 hours) or 2. My application case is a newborn baby that needs to be fed (or he wakes you up screaming for milk - unexpectedly he drinks even during sleep, a reflex apparently). So this smart timer would be great in this case, for mum and for dad when he takes care of it.

      You should check the counter and test it with bigger amounts of steps. It's usually described in the user guide - that most trackers keep a buffer and update the steps from time to time, which can trick you in believeing that it overcounts or undercounts.

      The difference is caused by the algorithm of measuring - the longer you keep it running, the closer to the reality the number is getting. It is possible that the initial value is a little off and gets more accurate in 10-15 seconds.
