Review on Smart bracelet HONOR Band 5, black by Stanislaw Kesicki ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I do not recommend spending your money on this.

It's around the same price as my cheap smart watch, but I won't name brands here for fear of being misconstrued as an advertiser - heaven forbid! The same indestructible waterproof construction, but with a larger round IPS display, precise heart rate and step tracking, and a plethora of user-friendly customization choices (well, maybe there are not so many interchangeable dials), All the same features found on a smartphone, such as several training modes, route traces, weather, the ability to sleep, incoming calls and messages, and full control over your music library, are now available on a much larger screen. Karl, my watch's battery can last for nearly a full month. Even though the screen is now much larger and brighter, it still takes ten seconds to load. I purchased it myself before Newegg, but I've only charged it once) Magnetic contactless charging, it's amazing! It's true that saturation can't be measured, but that feature is merely for show; in actuality, it's incredibly deceptive, so don't fall for it.

Pros
  • Not very impressive; I had higher hopes after reading so many laudatory reviews. The fact that there are several different screens to choose from is the only perk. I wouldn't buy it if I could test it out for myself, even temporarily, before committing to a purchase.
Cons
  • I was hoping for a much larger screen. Although I envy my mom's excellent eyesight, I find it challenging to read such tiny digits. This is a gift I gave to my mom. As soon as I gave it to her, I set it up from my phone, and they measured her oxygen saturation (SpO2), and so - it measures DIKO incorrectly - then 93% (immediately scares) and then 97% (I compared its readings to those of a certified pulse oximeter, and it shows a stable norm of 99%), which was a major factor in my decision to purchase (my mother recently had covid). The pulse also shows that he is lying by about 15%. (when using the same pulse oximeter and comparing the results). The fact that the screen goes black so soon after being turned on is another drawback. I checked the settings, but there was no way to make the screen stay on for more than six seconds. I just don't see how, what with all the steps and long naps, mum could possibly need instruction. Although a charge only lasts a few days, the process of charging can be tedious because of the need to physically enter the terminals. My mum claims the battery life is only four days. When I took it out of the box, it wouldn't even turn on since the battery was dead. I knew I had to charge the device before using it because I had read the instructions. Those. That's the standard; someone opens a present, hits a button, and then the screen stays black. There's nothing there now. Really, that's a brilliant advertising campaign.
