@@SimonG3honestly bro, it’s the way you explained it in detail and made understandable for a ‘tech reject’ like me so I’m grateful .. keep doing what you do .. I’ll subscribe to your channel 🙏🏼

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).

Thanks for video. I'm thinking of purchasing one. Could you tell me if this has vibrate function with alarms, or silent mode with alarm and vibrate??

It vibrates, yes. It does not make an alarm sound.

Thank you. It's a good review. Do you think it is better than Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 in terms of accuracy?

Can you use stopwatch while also tracking a workout? Basically if I wanted to time my sets while also tracking the workout alongside without pausing or stopping the actual workout mode?

@SimonG3

Unfortunately I don’t think that’s possible. You can swipe between music and your workout

@@SimonG3 damnit that’s like a big turn down for me. You know any bands under 50 bucks that might be doing that? While also being as accurate as this band 8

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

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.

hey man has there been any updates improving the accuracy etc?

@SimonG3

Ай бұрын

I actually think it is more accurate after recent software updates - considering a new one is about to be released - you could find one of these for cheap and they are a good option.

With sound, no. It vibrates.

Have you noticed that the weather can not be updated constantly? I am wondering whether its an issue or its the normal function of the weather....

Usually it does pretty well. Once in a while it doesn’t update constantly. But usually it does.

How do you download apps on the watch

@SimonG3

4 ай бұрын

It doesn’t support new apps. But supports new faces. You do it in the huawei health app

I'm getting this watch in 4 days mainly for tracking steps but hearing that it isnt accurate sucks ☹️

@SimonG3

I would say that overall it actually tracks fine. And also you can put it into walking mode which might make the tracking more accurate. You will enjoy the band don’t worry 😊

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

I would say it’s accurate enough for 40 bucks. If you really want perfection you need to buy a Samsung or apple ($$$)

Heart rate is actually very accurate. Only sleep tracking is wacky.
