Test - Huawei Band 6: An activity tracker in the hair?

Huawei a sorti son Band 6 un tracker d’activités avec de nombreuses fonctionnalités utiles et un bel écran AMOLED. Il est, je pense, un bon équilibre entre le prix et les fonctionnalités. Nous vous l’avions présenté dans cet article, voici le test.

Technical sheet of the activity tracker

Design and design

First of all, we have to talk about this 3.5cm Amoled screen by 1.8cm.It may seem big at the beginning, for an activity bracelet, but ultimately, it is well integrated into the bracelet, which gives good comfort.The actual resolution of the screen is not top bad with 194 x 368 pixels.The brightness is sufficient for you to read your screen at any time, however there is no automatic adjustment.The activity tracker's tactile is very correct.

The choice of your dial is among 9 predefined.Some have the possibility of having modified areas to display your heart rate instead of the number of steps, for example.Other dials can be downloaded from your phone.

The Huawei Band 6 weighs only 30 grams and its case is made of plastic.The Huawei Band 6 is waterproof up to 5 ATM.

Huawei Band 6 test: characteristics

The Huawei Band 6 has much more to offer than a simple bright screen.The activity tracker can follow the heart rate 24/7, with relative precision thanks to its TRUSEEN 4 heart rate monitoring technology.0 which "uses an optical lens and data processing based on an AI" to provide more precise readings.

Heart frequency readings are certainly not perfect, but as always, the correct port of Band 6 is essential to obtain these correct readings.And even so, as it is a portable bracelet, it may not be very precise anyway.But to follow the heart rate at rest (that is to say without training), it seems more than sufficient, for your training, you can have mistakes, but they remain rare.

In addition to that, Band 6 is also able to monitor the SPO2 "all day".The idea of monitoring oxygen in the blood is a bit confusing, because I don't think many people have problems with that (at least we hope.), but having it as an additional functionality on board is certainly not a problem.

Among other features based on sensors, let us quote the monitoring of the Trusleep 2 sleep.0 and, frankly, sleep tracking on the Huawei Band 6 seems quite precise, not to mention the robust sleep analysis section of the Huawei Health Application.Trusleep can even provide you with personalized sleep reports, as long as you wear the bracelet to sleep more than twice a week.

Huawei Band 6 A good autonomy

The Huawei Band can reach two weeks without being recharged, which is very pleasant.This autonomy comes from a good integrated battery, but also from the fact that it has no GPS chip on board.A little extra, it would be to have a plane mode.

A tracker to follow your activities

GPS follow -up is delegated to the smartphone that you are supposed to take with you if you want the Band 6 to draw a card of your shopping after your sessions in the Huawei Health application.However, this has no connection with Apple Health, Strava or any other activity of activity follow-up.

Speaking of running: this is one of the many training modes of the Huawei Band 6 and it can also estimate VO2 Max, suggest the recovery time and give you performance statistics/effect estimates of'Training, which is really not so bad of a fitness tracker.During my tests, Band 6 has shown no significant variation in heart rate or rhythm readings, which is really all that we can ask for a fitness group, especially in this range of price.

Conclusion on the activity tracker

Probably, the best thing about the Huawei Band 6 is that he does not try to be a race watch or an intelligent watch, instead, the Huawei Band 6 does his best to be the best fitness tracker, and therefore he ends up being a.Of course, it is thinner and more "band -shaped" than multisport watches.

I would say that the Amoled screen alone would make the Huawei Band 6 attractive, but fortunately, the features are also excellent, as is the sensors.In conclusion, the Huawei Band 6 is an incredible fitness group, especially given the price.For many occasional athletes, the band 6 will provide more than enough features with great precision.
