Review on Smart bracelet HONOR Band 5, blue by Alvin Chan ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Never buy this product.

In point of fact, even one star is too many for this bracelet to receive. The few advantages it possesses are outweighed by the numerous drawbacks it possesses. On no tablet whatever is it possible to install the Huawei Health app, which is required for functionality. We were only successful in installing it on one of the four smartphones, but when we tried to pair it with the other three, the application crashed with an error each time. We were only able to install it on one of the four smartphones, but we were able to pair it with the other one. As numerous people have pointed out, the pedometer is deceiving its user in a significant way. Sleep monitoring. Disgusting. Viewing television regularly qualifies as light sleep, but the amount of time it counts varies widely—it might be as little as 45 minutes or as much as three hours. At the same time, it is not uncommon for the bracelet to show that the wearer has already slept for an hour and a half when the wearer is still awake at 00:50. This is theoretically impossible, but it happens frequently. At midnight, when a new day begins, any and all of the information that was gathered over the previous day is wiped clean and starts over at zero. When the Huawei TruSleep function was activated, it was possible to read data from the bracelet in Huawei Health only for the very first time, and then for the very first month of use: the bracelet would synchronize when it was being worn, and it would record the data "downloads data" for seven to ten minutes, and when it reaches one hundred percent completion, it shows the message "No sleep data." Make sure the data device isn't sleeping ". When Huawei TruSleep is turned off, sleep data syncs more quickly; nevertheless, it only records two stages of sleep and a random tail of non-existent light sleep while the user is watching television. Bluetooth connection cannot be maintained at all times. It's interesting to note that the smartphone recognizes the bracelet as an Honor Band 4, despite the fact that it's never been synced with a previous Honor Band. I do not wish to compose anything regarding Huawei Health. Terrible in every way, beginning with the ease of use and ending with the simple inability of the application to operate with the hardware. Nothing that was tried, including many resets, reinstallations of Huawei Health, cleaning the application buffer, forcibly discharging the wristband to zero, and updates to the bracelet's software, was successful.

Pros
  • The bracelet's overall beauty and the quality of its construction. Pulse measurement and oxygenation (SpO2) are both functioning appropriately, plus or minus.
Cons
  • Not compatible with most smartphones or tablets; also, incompatible with some tablet computers. The monitoring of the quality of sleep is awful. The pedometer is grossly inaccurate in its readings. Awful piece of software (Huawei Health).
