00:00Huawei's latest wearable, the Huawei Band 6 is here. Let's unbox and check it out.
00:07And you heard right, we're looking at the Huawei Band 6, checking out the features,
00:12looking at the stuff it tracks, and also, exercise test. Let's go.
00:17Here we go, the Huawei Band 6. I'm so happy I got it in pink, finally. So this has all day long
00:23SPO2 monitoring, a full view display, and long battery life. On the back, gives us a teeny
00:28preview of the stuff that this thing can do. So again, SPO2 monitoring, this is a 1.47 AMOLED
00:34full view display, long battery life, all day heart rate monitoring, 96 workout modes,
00:40fast charging, water resistance, true sport algorithm, and sleep tracking.
00:49Nice. We have the band right here, but let's see what else this comes with first.
00:54Quick start guide, charging cradle. So that is a nice, like, champagne, rose gold face,
01:03or sides of the face. The straps are pink and they're silicone, and I love that I finally got
01:09the pink one. That is nice and soft. It feels like it's gonna be comfortable to wear. We have
01:15the sensors on the back, we have one button on the right side. So let's power it up and set
01:23this baby up.
01:43Like other bands, it connects to your phone via Bluetooth on the Huawei Health app. I also
01:47tried it with my iPhone and it did connect. As of right now, this band is connected to the iPhone 12
01:53and so the Huawei Band 6 can pretty much connect to any phone that you can download the Huawei
01:57Health app to. So let's take a quick Huawei Band 6 tour. So this is a bright and nice screen. Tap
02:05to hold and you can change to different wash faces. Like, there are a lot and a lot of them are cute
02:11ones. Depending on the wash phase, it can change what stats you see on the screen. So for example,
02:17I want this to be steps instead, you can do that. Okay, well, both are steps now. Swiping right
02:23gives you your heart rate, stress levels, temperature, music control, and these are your
02:29stats for the day. Swiping left cycles through the same. Swiping down gives you a quick menu.
02:35You have do not disturb, screen time on, find my phone, alarm, and then settings. So under settings,
02:42you have display, the different wash faces, your favorites. So meaning when you swipe to the right,
02:50this is the order. So you can customize what you see on the band. And then you have brightness
02:55settings. We are set at three. Of course, you can do one up until five. Now, you won't really see
03:01the change because my camera is set for you not to see that to adjust. But yeah, know that it's
03:05there. Swiping up gives you notifications because this is, after all, connected to your phone.
03:10On the right, we find the one and only button, and that button serves to wake up your watch or
03:15it brings you to this menu, which, you know, we'll discuss in a hot second. I am loving the fact that
03:22this is pink, but you guys already know that. This thing also comes in three other different colors.
03:26This thing does have a bigger screen, obviously, definitely bigger than the Huawei Band 4 that it
03:32came after. Not the Band 5, even if this is the 6. It was the Huawei Band 4 and then the Huawei Band 6.
03:37But the screen is also not as big as the screen on the Huawei Watch 5, which I've previously
03:41tested out as well, except not in pink. The Huawei Band 6 is basically an in-between. So it's in that
03:48tiny space in the middle of smart bands and smart watches. It's a comfortable screen experience
03:54because it is bigger, but the band is still lightweight enough for you to have on your wrist
03:59always. With a 5 a.m. rating, this thing can always be on your wrist, including when you wash your
04:03hands or when you shower, but it's not advisable to wear this thing when swimming or when snorkeling
04:09or stuff like that. General everyday splish and splash though, this can take it. The Huawei Band 6
04:14allows for smartphone notifications and you can customize which notifications you get on the wrist.
04:19However, you can't reply from the band and neither can you answer calls because there is no mic or
04:25speakers on this. One cool feature that I always love on wearables would be the remote camera
04:31shutter. This is honestly perfect for selfie OOTDs. However, from testing, I was only able to do it
04:37on a Huawei phone and not on the iPhone. There's also a find my phone function,
04:41always very useful. And of course, you can control your music from your phone via this band.
04:47Fitness wise, this band can count your steps. It does 24x7 heart rate tracking with as little as one minute
05:05intervals and AI can adjust these intervals according to your activities. There's sleep
05:10tracking complete with very detailed sleep stages and SpO2 tracking, which is a feature that
05:15everyone's been looking for in wearables. Though, reminder that blood oxygen tracking on wearables
05:20still cannot replace actual medical advice. Menstrual tracking is also available on this
05:26band, which is pretty nice. I love that menstrual tracking and all of these wearables is something
05:32that's being normalized. Again, however, this feature disappeared when I connected it to the iPhone.
05:37There are a number of exercises here and depending on which exercise, you can choose goals like time,
05:43calories, or depending on exercise, distance, or also skips. I decided to actually exercise
05:50to test this out. That says 6. I did 5. I did 59. It says 57, but trips look legit. I've tripped twice.
06:03It should be 69, 68, but two trips. I've tripped thrice. So it says I've tripped thrice, but I've
06:15tripped like four times actually. It also gives you current streaks. 165. It's a little delayed.
06:24Now it says 168. I tried my hair. It didn't change. 168.
06:34200 skips. 203. It says 205. Right, I think that's enough skipping for today. Like any wearable,
06:45it's not 100% accurate, but it's not that bad. I do love though that this band gives you the
06:50option to do reminders while you're exercising. Not all fitness wearables do that. I would however
06:56love shorter interval times because the shortest you can do is one minute. I would love as little
07:02as let's say a 30 second interval. You can also set it to alarm if you reach a certain heart rate,
07:07which I feel is like a good safety feature. Now I'm not gonna run outdoors to test it out,
07:12not because it's the pandemic, but because I'm not really a runner. But this thing does have
07:17connected GPS, meaning if you have it connected to your phone, it'll be able to track where you
07:23actually ran. In true Huawei smartwatch fashion, because we all know that Huawei smartwatches have
07:29really good battery life, they promise two weeks power. Now I've not had this band long enough to
07:34test that two week power. I've had this watch for five days and from the box, I have not charged.
07:41On the 16th, it was at 71%. Today is the 19th and I'm at 34%. Mind you, this was with me turning
07:48everything on and testing everything out and having the screen on always because I was shooting the
07:52watch. The Huawei Band 6 is very interesting to me because I feel like it's a very specific answer
07:58to a very specific group of people who want a very specific thing in their wearables. A feature-packed
08:04bang for buck device, but with a better screen. Not too big though, just enough to see more,
08:09but still small enough to be comfy to wear. But with this tiny change, I feel like this cheap,
08:13because the band line after all is the cheapest in Huawei's wearable line. But yeah, I feel the cheap
08:19wearable experience to be also slightly different. And if you're that type of user that I mentioned,
08:24this tiny change can make a huge impact. Right, that's it for today's vid. Let me know what you
