Huawei Band 6 Specs and price

Design and Build Quality

The Huawei Band 6 looks and feels much more premium than the Mi band 4 honestly. The rectangle-shaped dial is very practical and the extra width of the same helps ineffective use of screen real estate. The textured silicone trap is thick enough to withstand rough usage without fail. The belt lock mechanism ensures a tight fit around the wrist as well.

Even though the charging is via the pogo pins, the special cradle charger doesn’t require you to remove the tracker module from the strap-like in the case of Mi band 4. The Band 6 is water-resistant up to 5atm, making it suitable for outdoor usage even in adverse weather conditions.

Display

The Honor Band 5 features a 1.47-inch OLED color touchscreen display with a pixel density of 282ppi. This display is bright enough for effortless outdoor usage. The colors look vivid and punchy and the contrast levels are excellent. Thanks to the sensitive touch screen panel, menu navigation is very intuitive. There is a capacitive button at the bottom of the display to go back to the main screen from within any menu item on a single tap. Huawei has included multiple watch faces which can be swapped according to your preference.

Sensors

The Huawei Band 6 comes with a dynamic heart rate sensor and SpO2 monitor onboard. This heart rate sensor can be turned on for real-time tracking if you wish to have that but at the expense of battery life. The data from these sensors are reasonably accurate for non-medical use cases. Sleep tracking is one area where the Huawei band excels. The Huawei Trusleep algorithm tracks sleep much better and accurately than almost all other fitness trackers in this price segment.

Miscellaneous

The Huawei Health app is thoughtfully designed to show you the summary of aggregated data from the tracker in a very intuitive manner. The Huawei Band 6 features smart music and media controls that will let you control your smartphone music player, right from the tracker itself. You can see incoming call and message notifications directly on this band, thanks to the smart notifications feature.

Battery Life

Huawei claims this smart band to last for up to 14 days on a single full charge. But in a realistic use case scenario, expect to get anywhere between 8-10 days of moderate usage. The Huawei Band 6 can be charged using the supplied charging dock in a jiffy.

Verdict

Huawei Band 6 is a budget smart fitness band with a decent build quality and good sensor accuracy. This fitness tracker is the best out there in terms of sleep tracking under a budget of Ksh 7000.
