Still the BEST: Is Honor Band 6 the Perfect Fitness Tracker?

[@BenjaminPPP]

Since I got hooked on smartwatches and fitness bands mid-2019, Tech4All has been my go-to tech review channel. Your reviews are so informative and unbiased, and very easy on the eyes and ears.

[@TechMishka]

This comment made my day! 😉👍👍

[@toninocars]

Your drawbacks are actually characteristics of a smart watch and this is just a band and as you said the best one 👍

[@TechMishka]

Yeah, you are right. This tracker is quite awesome.

One of the most detailed reviews of this band I have seen so far. While most reviewers focus on how stylish it looks or how great the visibility is, you have shown a detailed software UI and usage which in fact becomes very practical in the long run. How long do you think this will last granted it has some level of water and dust protection and used with care? 1 year? 2 years?

[@TechMishka]

I think these trackers are pretty durable. It should easily last more than that.

[@danielwaschek]

8:28 Both Mi Band 5 and Amazfit Band 5 *do* support auto-workout detection. This isn't the first time when in a table like this at the end of the video these auto-workouts are marked wrong. Also a key information about Amazfit Band 5 supporting Amazon Alexa is missing

[@TechMishka]

Thanks Daniel! I haven't noticed them arriving as an update. Fixes are applied and will be visible in the next video containing it. As for Alexa - I thought about it really a lot, but at this point, having no speaker and with that many limitations I thought of not showing it. But let me think about that too.

[@angusdavidson15]

Great video. What a shame it doesn't sync with Strava! If I did I would have bought it.

Angus, thanks for the comment. Since a few weeks Huawei Health already can sync with Strava.

I strongly appreciate your detailed review of that wonder tool. There are a few questions left. • any data transfer possible? • GPS data transferable to other devices or software? I’d like to use in a Garmin environment/projects ... Thanks in advance

[@TechMishka]

Hey Arne, glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Let me help with the questions: - no data transfer, except for the data sync to the phone. - there's no GPS data, because the band itself has no GPS. And there is no sync with Strava, so I guess no way to integrate with Garmin apps.

[@arnebernert5191]

Thank you for quick response. And transfer GPS data from the App? Never the less I take take that incredible, serious, smart, little wonder.

[@beav1962]

Does this still function as a watch & tracker if I don't continually have it connected to my phone? If yes, I would assume the drawback is that the data won't be integrated into the history? Thanks.

[@AmberNicex]

Hi! I was wondering if you could give me some advice on what would be a good activity tracker for me. I mainly want to use it to register the daily walks with my dog and the amount of laps I have been swimming (preferably showing it on the watch itself while I'm swimming, not only afterwards in an app). As you said yourself, the lack of connectivity to Strava makes this one a lot less appealing (same with the other Honor & Huawei watches). Thanks in advance!

[@TechMishka]

Hey Beloved - there are many devices that can be helpful; The Galaxy Fit 2 is good, however doesnt have GPS. I'd prefer to get something with GPS, like the Mi Watch Lite.

[@bharatmirchi]

Great review. How does it compare to Amazfit Bip pro ?

[@TechMishka]

It will in some cases outperform it; However - Bip Pro has in-built GPS, which is quite an advantage in my opinion.

[@nikang249]
