Huawei - Band 8

Huawei Bands. When it comes to fitness tracking their accuracy beats others like Mi/Xiaomi.

Check PriceOye. I am using the Huawei Band 8. The latest available is 10, I guess. Switched from an expensive AmazFit (Mi/Xiaomi) watch and this cheaper band is much accurate.

It comes with a charging wire only. I use an old iPhone charging brick. Band 8 doesn't have Reminders or To-do list. The latest version, Band 10, might. Highly doubt it, though.

I hate the look of the HPB tracker, got Huawei Band 8 under $50 on shopee - it's the cheapest HPB compatible option. Works fine for me for tracking steps, running and swimming, no water gets in.

2 months. Had the band 8 for a couple years before that.

I bought a Huawei Band 8 recently. Only been a few weeks, I am very happy with it so far. i did not want something expensive. It was around 30 or 40 eur. I have used fitbit charge 3 before this is so much better for much less. Not sure about the life of it, as I just got it. But I was tired of changing fitbit band and I also hate its charger. It is also light weight which was important for me. It tracks stress, sleep, heart rate. Has a timer etc etc. the only issue is. Lose it nor health app is taking the steps from this, so I enter it manually. It may just be something that can be fixed, I havent gotten around to it yet. And yes it is really helping me with my steps. I also like looking at stress and sleep number.

I personally own the Huawei band 8 which I got from AliExpress. I believe their latest addition is the 9 or 10 now but that particular product line has been minimalistic health tracking at entry level cost. They mark up the price by almost double on Amazon. I've had mine for over 4 years and I'd consider myself clumsy enough that I've scratched all my watches. It's a about double the thickness of those silicone promotional wristbands they used to hand out at events all the time. I've got a Velcro strap on mine so I can easily adjust it if it's sitting weird and plus it breathes much better as a mesh fabric style band. It's very affordable and gives all the essential basics and has been rated one of the most accurate for heart rate tracking compared against a dedicated chest strap (matching even high end smart watches like the Apple watch). For me HR tracking was the main thing I needed it for. All that being said if it doesn't sit well due to the watch aspect and you decide against it, it doesn't blow up the budget. If you make a habit of tracking the benefits might end up out weighing the sensory cost and you might end up tolerating it in the end because of it. Check it out if anything!

I use GB with a Huawei band 8 and a Colmi Ring R09, they work without fuss. I've never installed any vendor app. The list of supported HW is quite extensive, with varied levels of support. And some devices still need the vendor app at least once. Choose your device carefuly, this is clearly explained on each device page. GB has bugs, but they are being worked on.

If you're fine with a Fitband imstead of a fullsize watch, I'm using the Huawei Band 8 which gows for around 23€ right now. However, it's missing some features such as ECG so you may want to go for a more expensive option instead.
