The most normal video in which two types of watches are actually compared. Everything is just the most necessary, without unnecessary chatter and pauses. Qualitative review

I have both and once again mi band 8 has connection issues with iOS disconnecting from the phone when ever it likes so you don’t always get ur notifications, huawei band 8 on the other hand always stays connected to the iPhone (of cause when it Bluetooth rage) huawei band 8 Always notifies you when disconnected from the Bluetooth if out of range. So person after testing both of them even tho the mi band 8 looks nicer I would still pick the huawei band 8, hopefully next year they will add auto brightness

Thanks for the video. Helped me lot.

is there a way to change the date format to DD/MM?YYYY

Thank you for your comparison ! It was helpful for me to decide what to buy ! I also agree that mi band8 looks a very good quality prodcut !!

​@@seabornekarmabrandonchaney3073 No, Mi (Smart) Band 8 does NOT support quick reply feature! I checked it on both Chinese and Global versions. You probably confused the functionality with the ability to send quick messages during incoming calls. This does not apply to any other notifications.

I picked Huawei band 8 3 weeks ago and everything is great apart from walking on treadmill. The distance and pace are always super behind and it results in less calories burned. On average when I walk 3km the watch counts only 2,5km and the pace should be around 10,5 minutes but the watch says 13,3. After I’m done I always calibrate it but it doesn’t do anything and next day it’s wrong again. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks

No smartwatch can measure steps or pace on a treadmill, because you're stationary. That's why treadmills have their own sensors for measuring everything.

Nice review, helpful, thank you. The xiaomi looks great. Couple of questions: 1) Which has better haptic controls eg setting levels for alarms, countdown... Ability to change pause duration, set timers that have intervals (eg a buzz every 5mins for a 25min period). 2) Do either have a punch mode? (for counting punchws eg to a punch bag, or counting other arm movements). 3) which is better for consistency and accuracy of pedometer, step counter, GPS? 4) The huawei supports nfc payments not the xiaomi doesn't? Not any other type of payment eg qr code payment?

@XMostaxX

About your first question, the Xiaomi is probably better (based on my experience with Huawei GT2 Pro and Xiaomi band 6) I have a GT2 Pro, is has pretty much zero control on the vibrations. I can either set vibrations to "soft" (which you can barely ever feel) and "strong" (which is okay). Compared to the Xiaomi band 6, which allows you to create your own vibrations for each type of alert (calls, notifications, alarms, etc.).

Regarding on camera control..does it work in all android phone

Hello Wes, I just bought a Band 8 Xiaomi yesterday in Germany for 33€, will it work in the USA? Also, I don't want to carry a phone around in order to be conscious of the number of steps through the day. Will this device give an approximation of steps? Thanks for the well done video and information 😊 Alessandro.
