Thanks for the review! I love how honest you are about it. 😊 I bought this Band 8 just yesterday because I’m really not that techy and only planning to use it to track my calories and other health features. And I also got it on sale! For only 27 USD (1,543 PHP). So I think it’s worth every penny! I’m from the Philippines btw. 😁 Thanks again for the honest review! ❤

I got one and I really like it, the lack of automatic brightness is not a problem there is a setting to lower the brightness at sleeping hours, and the rest of the time I keep it at max with display always on. I like the design, battery life is really good and the heartrate measures are pretty accurate, all that for 40€ on ali. Only downside is that huawei is asking for a ton of permissions on your phone and personal information, but I'm guessing the other brands aren't much better. You also need to install a bunch of app to run the app, but at least the app is well made and I haven't seen any ads.

Oh nice!

Another high quality review, Mihail! I totally understand why you're intending to distance yourself from Huawei. Since I've been doing fitness trackers for about 5 years in lieu of smart watches, I've been through at least a few iterations (while watching your reviews of most of them) of items from Huawei and Xiaomi, and have found Xiaomi the way to go. While I like the form factor of the Mi Band series, I like the Xiaomi Pro bands even better. The Redmi Band Pro has been quite nice for a year or two, but I think I'll be headed for the Xiaomi Band 8 Pro, next. As a U.S. resident, Huawei has ALWAYS burned me in the past, when it comes to accessibility of their watchface store, and that's just the tip of the iceberg with Huawei issues. Even without that problem, this review has confirmed that I can continue to ignore Huawei for the time being.

@TechMishka

7 ай бұрын

I also have the feeling that Xiaomi have grown stronger lately. Google are also improving with their wearables, although their prices are way too high. As for Huawei... I probably should not comment in order to avoid any troubles in the future. This channel has always been about tech, and I do everything possible to stay away from politics, but having integrity and being fair while doing business is in my opinion part of the game and there are borders that should not be crossed.

Hi, thank you very much for the review. I was considering the purchase of it (£28 for unpacked, unused inclusive shipping) but I became concerned about the absence of GPS function. 😮 I posses Huawei Band 3 Pro which is still working well (having in nearly 5years) but it does have GPS. I'm not demanding on features but I'd expect GPS to be in all new fitness devices these days. So this finding is pretty shocking for me...or did I misunderstand? The Huawei Health app on phone for tracking is a shit to my opinion. When my fitness band dies (it hardly lasts 4days because of its aging) and I wanted to track steps with the app in phone, it NEVER worked. So if I cannot rely on GPS in the Band 8 as it doesn't have it like you said, then I guess this is not the right device for me. 😢 I wanted to be loyal to Huawei because I'm very happy with the band 3 Pro working well for so long. Or would you wait for Band 9 if it's better?
