HUAWEI Band 10 Review: The Affordable Health and Fitness Companion!

Earlier in February, HUAWEI announced the release of a new addition to their HUAWEI wearables, the HUAWEI Band 10, a watch that is designed to help improve users’ health, fitness and even lifestyle experiences. In this review article, we’ll be taking a deeper look into the watch’s design, display and overall features of this watch in order to showcase why you should consider getting the Band 10, especially for those looking to have a healthy lifestyle. 

Design

The HUAWEI Band 10 features a streamlined aluminium alloy case which not only adds a layer of durability for the watch, it also helps make the Band 10 have a more premium feel, making it stand out more.

In addition, the Band 10 features a slim and ultra-lightweight body and this is shown with the watch weighing at 15g while also being 8.99mm for the aluminium alloy case whereas it weighs 14g for the durable polymer case. With this, it not only makes it both easy and comfortable to wear for everyday use, even when you’re going for exercise or while you’re sleeping. The watch also comes with fluoroelastomer straps, which are both soft and skin-friendly making it comfortable to wear without concerns about itchiness, and this makes it a good choice for those who tend to exercise often.

The HUAWEI Band 10 comes in five different colour options for consumers to choose from: the Matte Black, White, Blue, Green and Purple, while the durable polymer case is available in Black and Pink. This wide range of colour choices is a huge plus as this would ensure that the watch would be able to fit every preference and lifestyle.

Display

The HUAWEI Band 10 boasts an incredible 1.47 inch AMOLED display screen that comes with a resolution of 194 × 368 pixels. In addition to this, the device also comes with the Always on Display (AOD) feature which will help enhance user experience as you would be able to easily and quickly access key information and features without needing to tap the screen when the screen is inactive. This is especially useful when you’re in a rush or in a meeting. 

Furthermore, you’ll also be able to take your wrist fashion to the next level as users will be able to freely customise their watch screen as the Band 10 comes with a diverse range of Watch faces that they will be able to choose from. Whether you want to have the emotion-themed Huahua the Panda on your screen or if you’re looking for a more vibrant layout, with this level of personalisation, you will be able to make the watch further match yourself.

Sensor

The HUAWEI Band 10 consists of a 9-axis IMU sensor which ensures that you will be able to stay on top of your health and fitness as the watch helps to provide accurate performance insights in order to help improve your training. In fact, the Band 10 not only tracks your workout sessions, it also helps to track your daily stress levels, blood oxygen levels as well as monitor your sleep.

With its Enhanced Sleep Health Management system, the HUAWEI Band 10 is able to help ensure that you will be able to get quality sleep. It is able to do this by analysing your daily routine and sleep patterns before offering insight and tips in order to help you sleep better. Besides that, the Band 10 also incorporates Heart Rate Variability (HRV) while you sleep, and this helps to track your average heart rate while you’re asleep, with the purpose of providing a clearer reading of your recovery and stress levels. 

Asides from that, HUAWEI also ensures the wellbeing of your emotional state, with its Emotional Wellbeing Assistant. This is done by monitoring subtle physiological changes, such as stress levels, throughout the day in order to help users keep in touch with their emotional state.

The Band 10 is able to keep track of how your body reacts to stress in real time and if you ever feel stressed or are feeling down, the Band 10 will be able to offer breathing exercise or workout in order to help put your mind and body at ease.

Another amazing feature that the HUAWEI Band 10 comes with is the Pet Panda watch face. Not only does it look adorable on the display, but it is also able to react to your current emotional state, and changes accordingly to how you feel. If you’re wondering about how you’re feeling, all you have to do is look at the panda on your watch. This feature is not only engaging, but it also helps users be aware of how they are feeling at all times.

Applications

To help users carry out a healthy lifestyle routine, the HUAWEI Band 10 offers over 100 workout modes, and it will also track their performances and progress across a wide variety of different fitness activities and sports, whether it’s for sprinting or even walking, directly on your wrist.

Besides that, the HUAWEI Band 10 can also be used in the water with its 5ATM water resistance rating, which allows it to withstand depths up to 50 metres, and this makes it suited for water-related activities such as swimming. In addition to this, the Band 10 is also able to provide up to 95% accuracy of your swimming data, providing detailed and accurate insights for stroke count, swim distance and even the number of laps you’ve done, and this will allow you to be able to monitor your progress with ease.

Furthermore, the Band 10 also features a daily activity ring which will be able to provide a clear, visual display of your movement and this helps to make it easier to track your progress at every moment. With this feature, it will be able to help motivate users in order to stay active throughout the day in order to lead a more consistent and healthier lifestyle. 

Another amazing feature that the HUAWEI Band 10 comes with would be the fact that it is compatible with both iOS and Android, and this ensures easier connection with your devices. So, regardless of having either an iPhone or Android device, you will be able to sync with the Band 10 via the Huawei Health app in order to get insights regarding your fitness and sleep.

In addition to this, the HUAWEI Band 10 is now able to make payments as this watch supports Touch n’ Go QR payments, which marks the first time this feature has been introduced to the HUAWEI Band series! This feature makes it easier for users as they will no longer need to take out their wallets or phones to make purchases.
