How did you measure weightlifting session results? in which option of training parameters? I've been looking for that option and didnt noticed that particular one - only pile of running and cycling nonsense...:) Although ,that was in the store,so maybe not all of them were shown in that "test" watch. Now,I believe it has one - if Xiaomi got one Huawei must have it,too. Did you found it or what would be proper alternative for weightlifting measurement in presented options on the workout list?

Please what is the difference huawei band 8_1 and huawei band 8_2 ??

Reviews on this channel did make a huge difference for me. I'm not even near exercises for now so accurate resting heart rate was very important for me. No money for apple wach (not even SE) so needed the most accurate band for the lowest price. I used Honor Band 6 and now using Huawei watch fit 2. As they use same mobile app I can only recommend it as great. I also think this band, with this score is 'best buy' as long as heart rate maters... Omg! I'm so glad to found this channel that helped me a lot over year! Thank you Rob!!

Mein 👍 und Kommentar für Deine unermüdliche Mühe und Arbeit schon mal vor dem Guggn Deines neuesten VDOs 🙏

I just found your channel and wow!!! this content should be out there more!! I love reviews like this not sponsord just absolute user experience and a thorough review!

Out of all the watch review channels this channel is one of the very best out there, especially because he gives objective results and tests them properly and not just based on how he feels. A true content creator.

Thank you, sir. I eagerly anticipate your forthcoming evaluation of the Huawei Watch 4 / Huawei Watch 4 Pro

Thanks Rob! Just ordered one today for mainly outdoor running, and it was on sale! :)

I was waiting for this. Great video!

The most scientific review I've ever seen on KZread. Thank you very much for your excellent effort.

I didn't know this channel existed. Glad i stumbled upon it. Thank you Rob for what you do!

I bought the band 8 today based on your band 7 review since the sensors are identical and the only slight difference is on the design. I didn't bother about sleep tracking as my focus was on accurate heart rate and fitness tracking (with a decent clock interface and timer/stopwatch). I am surprised to see the review published today and it is extremely reassuring that I made a good purchase. Your reviews are excellent and have definitely saved me some good amount of money!

Amazing review, sir. Keep doing nice quality reviews as you're the one doing at this level.

This video is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much!

This is truly amazing to have some advanced review like this. Thank you very much.

I managed to get Huawei band 8, so I did some tests myself and compared with my band 7. The exercise was walking outdoors, according to GPS the distance was 3 km, according to band 7 - 2,74 km, and band 8 - 2,63 km. The pulse was almost exactly the same on both devices, 122 medium and 146 max on band 7, 124 medium and 146 max on band 8. The second device picked up 46 more steps, with average length 4 cm shorter. I did couple other measurements on different distances and conclusions were the same - band 8 lowers the distance comparing to reality, while pulse measurement is basically the same with band 7. I can't say anything yet about other activities nor I haven't compared these two when they co-op with GPS from phone. But it someone only needs a daily tracker for steps and burned calories, then no need to upgrade from 7 to 8.

What about the steps? I don't really care about the distance but I have bought a band 8, mostly to track my steps.

I saw your video on Mi Band 8 first when i was about to buy it, and was enough to not purchase and instead went for the Huawei band 8 based on your review on the Band 7. I'm glad it was the right purchase and your video made a HUGE DIFFERENCE! KEEP UP THE GREAT CONTENT!

Keep the hard work loving the content I’m really grateful

Amazing video, super informative and reliable showing data compared to top performing devices like the Polar H10. Thanks Rob! Are you planning a video about the Huawei Watch 4 Pro?

Wooh! Been waiting for this one.

Watching your video is like reading a scientific journal. Really impressive and informative!

Thank you for reviewing band 8 . I already bought this before your review and this is better than the many expensive watches. ❤

thank you Mr. Rob, really appreciate it for your review

Thank you very much for your detailed review! It's very interesting to see a detailed review on Huawei watch 4 pro

aiks, wish I've seen this before buying my band 8, i bought it to track my sleep. But oh well, still grateful that I've found this video sooner and later, seems like i cant cheap out too much if I'm serious about tracking and improving my sleep haha. thanks so much for the super helpful review !

One of the most detailed review ! Amazing

Aye that's my comment on the video!😂😂 as a fellow nerd, THANK YOUUUU FOR THE REVIEW ROB!! I'm so happy that I purchased it around $30 price! I hope Huawei updates the sleep tracker algorithm in the future or something, and I hope you review it again in a year or so :))

Great review as always Rob! Your pleasant, positive attitude really makes watching a 20+ min data driven review about daily tech all the more enjoyable.😎Looking forward to your take on the Mi Smart Band 8 Pro. Cheers!

Eagerly waiting for your review of the Galaxy watch 6 and the Huawei Watch 4 series. Thanks for all that you do!

As always great review. Danke!

I was waiting for this since I bought it last week and I knew (guessed) what your results would be like. So, thanks again for the effort you put in those reviews! I think it's fantastic. I am using it for crosstrainer and health tracking, especially for sleep. Though you can't select heart rate tracking frequency by settings, because its either off or auto, and in auto when you're not moving the intervals spread up to 10 mins, there is a workaround. Just record your night as a training (I'm using yoga) and recording 6 or 7 oder even 12 hours of training is no problem. Also, contrary to the manual, the band will do SPo2, Stress and even sleep tracking simultaneously, and this is exactly what I wanted. The Band 8 sells offcially for have the price of the watch fit 2 which is unbeatable. Compared to that the mi bands are disappointing. Even the newest one shows no substantial improvment to its predecessor. The 7 can't even track a simple crosstrainer session correctly, so I am done with xiaomi and wrist bands and particularly the mi fitness app.

Another great review. Looks like a good Budget Smart Watch with a decent Heart Rate Monitoring...Keep up the good work. Greetings from Ireland

Finally, the Band 8 review, and 3.5 stars make me confident to not buy other sports tracker to change my band 8. Cheers my dude :D

Great video Rob, thanks 😊

Love your videos: Suggested Topic- Watch bands. Does a different band make any difference in accuracy? (Many fitness bands come with silicone bands people swap out). Other suggestions: Your heart rate accuracy graphs can hide data because the opaque black clusters of dots near the reference line hide how many samples are in that area. It'd be nice if you did a 3d plot so the height of the cluster indicated how many samples were at a given value. Otherwise, the graph tends to over emphasize relatively few off reference measurements. Also, on your Awake/Deep/REM/Light sleep grid: If a device tends to categorize everything in one category (e.g. Venu 2 tends to lump REM as light), then the accuracy of Light sleep is misrepresented. Since (exaggerated example) a watch that said you are ALWAYS in light sleep would perfectly match the reference light sleep measure. It would show the device extremely accurate on light sleep when it actually is 100% undependable. Stopped watch is right 2x a day. That doesn't mean it's accurate if you only measure at those times. Thanks again for your wonderful and unique videos.

Awesome review as usual 😮 thanks a lot

This is very valuable information, thank you!

One week using the Huawei band 8 , very happy , reliable sensors and working perfect on iPhone

wow this realy suprised me how good the huawai band 8 is. 100% will buy it

hi! thank you for the video, I decided to get the band 8 after watching your GW6 video, saves me money 😂👌. I also wanted to share my experience with the band 8, I used Galaxy Watch Active 1 since 2019, last year the screen pops out and i glued it again, my main issue with the watch after 4 years of use mainly is the heart rate tracking, some days it detects my RHR fine, but some days it won't even detects RHR at all. GW6 was my main choice, but after your review, I decided to better save money and get a cheap one instead. So far with the band, the good: - battery life, it felt so good not to charge the watch once every 2-3 days - heart rate detection is decent and fast - it's light and doesn't protrude that much from your wrist - step count is decent, it quickly detects when i walk (the GWA has some delays registering the steps, I don't know if this is an aging device issue or is it because i'm not using a samsung phones) - has SPO2 tracking Now, the not so good, as I come from the galaxy watch active: - screen aren't so bright for sunny outdoor (at least for me) - for some reason i cannot find the option to automatically pause walk / running when stationary (the GWA has this) - exercise options are limited, in GWA you can chose bench press exercise, I can only find strength in the band 8. It also detects less calories when weightlifting compared to the GWA. Another, the nitpicks: - vibration feels cheap, it gets annoying when you set any chat notifications and the chat is active (it's a different price point than the GWA though, so it's kinda okay, minor annoyances) - there's so many permissions for the app, so if you're conscious with privacy, maybe try other devices? - it takes time o adjust to the huawei health app, while it's better than installing the samsung health and galaxy wearable, the experience is totally cluttered, experience wise, S Health feels better to navigate (this might be my bias too as I've used the S Health for 4 years now) - the not so robust exercise options While i can't say much about the accuracy, i'd say for the price, you get a really decent heart rate tracker!

I guess this is the best analysis video i ever seen. Specially sleep validation with 2 devices, many thanks.

Data never lies. Thank you for doing these videos.

Thank you for reviewing band 8！ Waiting your review on HUAWEI watch 4😜

Have been using this Huawei Band 8 for almost two months now. I don't really mind about the sleep tracking because I use it for running and monitoring my heart rate. Really like the quick reply function and it works well with my Samsung S22+. Always on display watch faces are quite nice too. For the price I paid, I think this band is awesome 😁

Same here. I came from 2 Garmins, and they are good all-round watches, but so boring and crap watch faces. Huawei’s screens and watch faces totally rock, and their battery life is unparalleled, I’m getting 10 days on average. Heart rate tracking is what I need, and the GT Runner certainly doesn’t disappoint. Sleep tracking is however quite disappointing, though sleep tracking in general, irrespective of watch brand, is not as useful for me as a watches’ fitness tracking capabilities. I am waiting for the GT4 to drop as a worthy replacement for my GT Runner.

Thank you, I am getting a starting band for my girlfriend (not sure if she will like using it or not), she is a bit hypochondriac, so I've opted out several obvious options based on the results of the test. Ended up choosing this one.

Thnx rob, great review. Bought the band 8 tracker, but how did you track the outdoor cycling? Since i cant find it in the training options. Cheers

Rob, what's the difference between these two samples? Are they for different markets or is it a matter of chance?

Based on your findings, Band 8 is a super alternative to any smartwatch and superior in terms of price to quality. In Indonesia, its one of the most popular watch for that reasons even though huawei is not so popular in the smartphone industry, buyers are well informed of its quality when compared to more popular indonesian market brands such as Xiaomi, Fitbit, Apple and even Samsung watches.

Hey, your indepth analysis is amazing. Any chance you will be reviewing the Huawei Band 9 soon. I can't decide whether to get the fit 2 or band 9 as the algorithms are newer on the band 9 but the form factor is nicer on the fit 2.

Thanks for these great reviews! Any chance to test the Casio smartwatches? Thanks!

Loved my band6... was going to buy a band9 but decided to go for the 8 due to your reviews. Huawei is doign a great job and the prices are amazing for what they can do. I had an amazfit before the huawei.. and that was just crap for steps and heartrate was pretty crappy too compared to the cheaper Huawei. Looking forward to seeing how this band 8 performes

You're such a great guy !

Hoy me compré el Band 8, y justo acabo de ver que salió el review aqui 😂

I'm waiting for your review on Huawei watch 4 pro so I can decide if I will or will not buy. Thanks for these great reviews Also I would like to mention that my band 8 is always telling me the right time when I fall asleep and when I wakeup, and also quite good at guessing the naps, which I think should be most important for the ordinary user. Just to know how much sleep do we receive during the day-nighy. About the heart rate: today I've ran 20km on the treadmill in different speeds for every kilometer and I am very impressed by the HR chart. It's just consistent and it looks on pare with my chest strap sensor from Suunto... I think for every wearable, most accurate measurement is coming with activities that involves less movement and tension around the wrist. Anyway for the money Band 8 is just fantastic. I'm willing to buy watch 4 pro because of its outstanding design and built quality, but I still want it to be accurate and for the price I expect better accuracy than the band 8, so I'll be waiting for new video from you 😊

Thank you very much for doing this and putting it online for free.
