Summary
| Unique Features |
12 animated workouts Smart alarm wakes you up in light sleep during a preset period |
| Advantages |
10 day battery life Good quality screen Excellent fitness and sports apps Nice display Good sleep tracking and smart alarm |
| Disadvantages |
Cannot respond to notifications No app store with third-party apps No NFC or payment capability No Strava support No GPS |
| Verdict |
Good watch for fitness and sleep tracking but drawbacks include no notification reply ability, no 3rd party apps, no GPS and no NFC. The nearly identical HONOR Band 6 can be purchased for less than half the money. You will get a slightly smaller screen but the Band 6 is a much better bang for your buck. |
