I have a feeling that based on this review, many of you are going to want to buy the Huawei Band 8, and there are definitely some good reasons to do that. However, I will also show you that the Band 8 has a number of limitations, so make sure that these are not deal-breakers for you, before pulling the trigger. As always, I will present systematic analyses of the raw data collected with the Huawei Band 8, so you can objectively evaluate if the Huawei Band 8 meets your needs! Let’s get started!
This is the single most requested review of the last months, and it has been a challenge to get it out. However, I finally managed to get my hands on two Huawei Band 8’s, and I’ve been testing them for about 3 weeks. And, after all this testing, the Huawei Band 8 appears to be the best performer in its price class, in certain areas at least, likely making it a very attractive option for many of you. Optically, the Huawei Band 8 looks similar to the Huawei Band 7 and Band 6, with some slight modifications, and the major changes are performance when it comes to heart rate and sleep stage tracking. The Huawei Band 8 launches with a new generation of the heart rate tracking algorithm and a new generation of the sleep tracking algorithm, compared to the older Band 7. So, this will be my focus in this review, and I will systematically test the Huawei Band 8. As you know, I generally do not list specs of watches, since you can find those on Huawei’s website, but I did want to note two things: first of all, I was impressed with the fast charging of the Band 8, which is supposed to charge to capacity in 45 minutes. I didn’t time it, but this seems to be about right compared to my experience. Second, in the advertisements I saw online, I somehow got the feeling that the screen was a bit bigger than it appears in reality. Maybe this is just me, but I found it important to share that impression.
I am really impressed with the heart rate tracking, and I expect that many of you will end up getting a Band 8, because heart rate tracking is likely the most important feature for many of my viewers. Still, when it comes to the overall package, it’s not complete as the sleep stage tracking is just bad. Considering all of this, overall, I’d give the Huawei Band 8, 3.5 out of 5 stars. There are a few important other factors to consider before getting this device. First of all, Huawei has been facing restrictions in America, meaning they don’t have access to Google services, and you might need to install their own app store to get all functionalities.

How did you measure weightlifting session results? in which option of training parameters? I've been looking for that option and didnt noticed that particular one - only pile of running and cycling nonsense...:) Although ,that was in the store,so maybe not all of them were shown in that "test" watch. Now,I believe it has one - if Xiaomi got one Huawei must have it,too. Did you found it or what would be proper alternative for weightlifting measurement in presented options on the workout list?

Reviews on this channel did make a huge difference for me. I'm not even near exercises for now so accurate resting heart rate was very important for me. No money for apple wach (not even SE) so needed the most accurate band for the lowest price. I used Honor Band 6 and now using Huawei watch fit 2. As they use same mobile app I can only recommend it as great. I also think this band, with this score is 'best buy' as long as heart rate maters... Omg! I'm so glad to found this channel that helped me a lot over year! Thank you Rob!!

I bought the band 8 today based on your band 7 review since the sensors are identical and the only slight difference is on the design. I didn't bother about sleep tracking as my focus was on accurate heart rate and fitness tracking (with a decent clock interface and timer/stopwatch). I am surprised to see the review published today and it is extremely reassuring that I made a good purchase. Your reviews are excellent and have definitely saved me some good amount of money!

I managed to get Huawei band 8, so I did some tests myself and compared with my band 7. The exercise was walking outdoors, according to GPS the distance was 3 km, according to band 7 - 2,74 km, and band 8 - 2,63 km. The pulse was almost exactly the same on both devices, 122 medium and 146 max on band 7, 124 medium and 146 max on band 8. The second device picked up 46 more steps, with average length 4 cm shorter. I did couple other measurements on different distances and conclusions were the same - band 8 lowers the distance comparing to reality, while pulse measurement is basically the same with band 7. I can't say anything yet about other activities nor I haven't compared these two when they co-op with GPS from phone. But it someone only needs a daily tracker for steps and burned calories, then no need to upgrade from 7 to 8.

Love your videos: Suggested Topic- Watch bands. Does a different band make any difference in accuracy? (Many fitness bands come with silicone bands people swap out). Other suggestions: Your heart rate accuracy graphs can hide data because the opaque black clusters of dots near the reference line hide how many samples are in that area. It'd be nice if you did a 3d plot so the height of the cluster indicated how many samples were at a given value. Otherwise, the graph tends to over emphasize relatively few off reference measurements. Also, on your Awake/Deep/REM/Light sleep grid: If a device tends to categorize everything in one category (e.g. Venu 2 tends to lump REM as light), then the accuracy of Light sleep is misrepresented. Since (exaggerated example) a watch that said you are ALWAYS in light sleep would perfectly match the reference light sleep measure. It would show the device extremely accurate on light sleep when it actually is 100% undependable. Stopped watch is right 2x a day. That doesn't mean it's accurate if you only measure at those times. Thanks again for your wonderful and unique videos.

I was waiting for this since I bought it last week and I knew (guessed) what your results would be like. So, thanks again for the effort you put in those reviews! I think it's fantastic. I am using it for crosstrainer and health tracking, especially for sleep. Though you can't select heart rate tracking frequency by settings, because its either off or auto, and in auto when you're not moving the intervals spread up to 10 mins, there is a workaround. Just record your night as a training (I'm using yoga) and recording 6 or 7 oder even 12 hours of training is no problem. Also, contrary to the manual, the band will do SPo2, Stress and even sleep tracking simultaneously, and this is exactly what I wanted. The Band 8 sells offcially for have the price of the watch fit 2 which is unbeatable. Compared to that the mi bands are disappointing. Even the newest one shows no substantial improvment to its predecessor. The 7 can't even track a simple crosstrainer session correctly, so I am done with xiaomi and wrist bands and particularly the mi fitness app.

I've recently got a Huawei Band 8 (£50) due to the heart rate tacking/price and needing to replace a mi band 6 (see below). Sleep tracking seems poor on most bands/watches in the lower price ranges, more expense options seem to do better. I'm hopping the sleep tracking improves with firmware updates. I brought 2 mi band 3 (lost 1 due to poor straps), the other, my fathers one still working to this day. I brought a mi band 6 to replace the lost one (so I could still use the zepp life and my keep data). The screen once popped out stopped working with touch, but still displayed basic data. Seem like poor Q/C with my version of the 6. The screen then stopped displaying data a few months later and the battery randomly goes flat up to twice a day. So I opted to leave the mi band/zepp life ecosystem (and data, workouts steps, sleep etc). Any way to the data out of zepp life and Huawei for back up on a PC?

hi! thank you for the video, I decided to get the band 8 after watching your GW6 video, saves me money 😂👌. I also wanted to share my experience with the band 8, I used Galaxy Watch Active 1 since 2019, last year the screen pops out and i glued it again, my main issue with the watch after 4 years of use mainly is the heart rate tracking, some days it detects my RHR fine, but some days it won't even detects RHR at all. GW6 was my main choice, but after your review, I decided to better save money and get a cheap one instead. So far with the band, the good: - battery life, it felt so good not to charge the watch once every 2-3 days - heart rate detection is decent and fast - it's light and doesn't protrude that much from your wrist - step count is decent, it quickly detects when i walk (the GWA has some delays registering the steps, I don't know if this is an aging device issue or is it because i'm not using a samsung phones) - has SPO2 tracking Now, the not so good, as I come from the galaxy watch active: - screen aren't so bright for sunny outdoor (at least for me) - for some reason i cannot find the option to automatically pause walk / running when stationary (the GWA has this) - exercise options are limited, in GWA you can chose bench press exercise, I can only find strength in the band 8. It also detects less calories when weightlifting compared to the GWA. Another, the nitpicks: - vibration feels cheap, it gets annoying when you set any chat notifications and the chat is active (it's a different price point than the GWA though, so it's kinda okay, minor annoyances) - there's so many permissions for the app, so if you're conscious with privacy, maybe try other devices? - it takes time o adjust to the huawei health app, while it's better than installing the samsung health and galaxy wearable, the experience is totally cluttered, experience wise, S Health feels better to navigate (this might be my bias too as I've used the S Health for 4 years now) - the not so robust exercise options While i can't say much about the accuracy, i'd say for the price, you get a really decent heart rate tracker!

Another great review. Looks like a good Budget Smart Watch with a decent Heart Rate Monitoring...Keep up the good work. Greetings from Ireland

I bought the gt runner because of your review and I am extremely happy with it so thank you. I had mixed experiences with Huawei watches, but their software sopport is pretty solid and the health app useful.

Same here. I came from 2 Garmins, and they are good all-round watches, but so boring and crap watch faces. Huawei’s screens and watch faces totally rock, and their battery life is unparalleled, I’m getting 10 days on average. Heart rate tracking is what I need, and the GT Runner certainly doesn’t disappoint. Sleep tracking is however quite disappointing, though sleep tracking in general, irrespective of watch brand, is not as useful for me as a watches’ fitness tracking capabilities. I am waiting for the GT4 to drop as a worthy replacement for my GT Runner.

Hello rob, there are a lot of gadgets to come in a short time I think but others already released...are you gonna review the ticwatch pro 5 and the huawei watch 4 pro? This last looks impresive because of the sensors and the battery life

Hi can I ask that you include calorie counting in your reviews. Huawei only tracks exercise calories and is inaccurate. This is a key feature which users want. Love your reviews

I wish you would also try the step count in watches while driving. I bought this watch because of your review but it had inaccurate step count while driving. It could have saved me much money and time😢

I've watch so many of your great videos and the only thing I think you rarely take into account is the software support side..that is to say the software updates. I've owned many of the Huawei, Honor and Xiaomi watches and fitness bands and they all suffer from a severe lack of support. Basically, what you get is what you have years down the line. I also own multiple Samsung watches (4,5 and 6) and these get updates, fixes constantly.

I purchased the Huwawei Fit 2 about 6 months ago thanks to your reviews and I must say I'm quite happy with the HR accuracy. The only problem is that the HR still does not appear on Strava. Why?! 😮

Love your reviews.. Just a small suggestion: For the gold standard to be even more reliable, could you please use 3 Polar H10 straps and use the median of the 3 values recorded every time.

Thank you very much for the video! I have wondered about the results, the quality of my sleep improved after I changed the Honor Band 5 bracelet to that Huawei Band 8. But the clock display is good. Do you also have research on how well the stress diagram expressed by Huawei Health is correct?
