Band 8 Fitness Watch - Ultra Thin Smart Band design with Up to 2 Weeks Battery Life Activity Trackers Compatible with Android & iOS with Full Health Management & Sleep Tracking -Midnight Black

I've been a bit sceptical and late to jump on the smart watch train. But my flatmate has the band 6 and rates it, so I thought I'd give this a try and I love it! It's small enough for my tiny hands and it is pretty comfortable (although I've obviously had to get used to wearing a watch again, cause it's been a few years). I've had no problems with customising the notifications I want to see on there. The app has been easy to use. I don't do very intense sports tracking, but I have found it fine for my runs and for swimming. I don't need super detailed data, and so am happy with the breakdown it gives me. I feel like the step tracking is reasonably accurate. It claims to tell you how many calories you've burnt in a day, which feels a bit off, but that's the only thing I wouldn't trust. The sleep tracking is good! I like that it scores your sleep and I now aim to have a 100 point sleep by the end of the year. I do wish you could add subjective comments to your sleep data in the app, but possibly they will add that! I can track my cycle on there too which is great. One less app on my phone. I've had the watch about a month now and I think I charge it about once a week and it takes about an hour to charge it. Really good and convenient. Would recommend!

I have been using it for nearly a year. Hugh performance when compared to the price. Easy to setup. The accuracy especially in regards with the monitoring sleep to heart rate it is nearly perfect as I have cross checked with the medical devices. Notifications are given accurately based on the setups given. Once charged can be used for more than 72 hrs and hence charging is very effective

Excellent device. Nags me to get up and exercise. Tells me I haven’t had enough sleep. Monitors heart rate and blood oxygen. You can download silly interfaces if you’re that sort of person, but works fine without. Syncs well with iPhone. Battery lasts well. App gets regular improvements. Sell your health data to big corporations.

Very good battery life.

I have been using this for a few weeks now and I am really happy with it. Get loads of use out of one charge and it has been very accurate with all the stats. You can (not easily, but it's possible) change the watch face to suit your style and mood, just a shame almost all of them have the wrong date format so I had to find one without the date. Simply refuse to live my life with a watch that thinks the month should be listed first lol. I turned off the auto-wakeup feature as I was getting tired of being flashbanged by my watch when rolling over in bed, so I now just click it once on the side to see the time, heartrate and steps etc. Turning that off also preserves a lot of battery. Not that charging was a chore at all, it charged to full in no time using the usb port on my pc. It weighs more or less nothing, it's not bulky at all and despite a couple unfortunate bangs it's still working perfectly and screen is fine. I changed the strap to a nylon one I bought off Amazon as I really can't stand the silicone ones. It was super easy to change strap, took me literal seconds and needed no explanation. I found a couple options for strap replacement, including a metal strap, so all hope isn't lost if you hate wearing silicone as much as I do. Can only recommend this, it has been utterly brilliant and great value.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my wife as she required “something to motivate her to exercise more”. So only had it for a month. Attractive in the rose gold and pink so it passed the aesthetic test, easy to set up and as accurate as the technology can currently be without spending thousands. Once she was over the wariness of the idea she now doesn’t take it off except to charge or clean - both are efficiently easy to do and the battery is long lasting. Only charged to top up once a week. Thanks HUAWEI band 8 - so far so good!

I moved up from the Xiaomi, unhappy with it's vague approximations of runs and my sleep that told me I'd had a solid 8 hours after the toddler kept me up. This is better. And for the price, performs outrageously. Run tracking isn't as accurate as your phone, but still good enough. Heart rate monitoring similarly is excellent. The sleep tracking is much more precise, with sleep scores and I would say 90% accuracy of your night's sleep on most days. It's thinner, lighter and has a similar number of preposterous watch faces that you can tinker with. Battery life is about ten days, a bit less if you keep faffing with it. It says it can monitor your blood pressure - it can't. That's about it though. Short of making the tea, it does everything you want in a "dumb" fitness tracker. It's subscription free, too. A great pick up to keep an eye on your stats.

The watch and app are amazing but unfortunately the 'rubber' strap recently broke and therefore the watch is now worthless. I purchased it in June last year and as a tracker it's designed to be worn 24/7 so the strap should last much longer. I would rate 5 stars but now it is unwearable I can only rate it a 1 star
