Huawei Fitness Bracelet
We all know Huawei as a manufacturer of good smartphones. But relatively recently in the line of branded products began to appear and fitness bracelets. Thus, the corporation has supported the fashionable trend of creating intellectual assistants.
Features
Of course, each "smart" instance has a minimum set of functions that must be present in a fitness bracelet. With each new device, the Chinese company eliminates the previous drawbacks and introduces something new. Sport and classics for all occasions - this is the main goal of Huawei.
The emphasis is mainly on sports models.
Model overview
Trackers from the company are represented by a fairly large number of different models in various price categories. Here anyone can find a gadget to your liking. Let's understand this lineup:
- "Honor Band A1" (AW600);
- "Honor B0" (SS);
- "Talkband B1";
- "Talkband B2";
- "Talkband B3".
To fit in a small box some necessary sensors, a battery module, Bluetooth, put everything on the strap and create a simple application for communicating with the phone is a simple matter for such a huge manufacturer like Huawei.
But the business must always be taken seriously, so good optimization, ergonomic design, practicality in use and many other trifles are also important. All of this above brand necessarily takes into account in its high-tech products.
- Let's go in order and the first copy is the "Honor Band A1" (AW600). The cost of the gadget at the moment ranges from 1 to 2 thousand rubles. Comes with magnetic charging, microUSB cable and setup instructions.
The strap, which is made of plastic (leather version in Russia is not for sale), is available in 4 colors: black, purple, yellow, red, turquoise and blue. The material of the bracelet is far from the most pleasant to the touch, but the price is also low. The steel heart is equipped with sensors, vibration motor and indicator. With ergonomics, everything is in order - a relatively small weight, which is not felt at all on the arm, the fastener is not subject to accidental unbuttoning. The protection is made according to IP57 standard, which means that the Honor Band A1 is not afraid of dust and diving to a depth of 1 m.
Functional standard for devices of this kind. Monitoring of motor activity (pedometer) is performed, and on the basis of these data, calories expended are calculated. It is possible to monitor the phases of sleep - there is a "smart" alarm clock. He also can notify about events by vibration and flashing indicator.
- "Honor B0" (SS) the design is more like a smart watch, not like a fitness bracelet, but looks are deceptive. According to its functionality, it is a typical representative of this class of devices. Alarm clock with vibration, accelerometer with pedometer, touch screen with gesture control, reminder function. The bracelet is made of leather and is designed for two turns around the wrist, and the case itself can no longer be removed from the strap. It is necessary to pay attention to the choice of colors more carefully, there are only two of them - these are B0 Coffee and B0 Black.
Moisture protection is performed at IP68, which means diving to a depth of more than 1 meter and working in this mode. On board is a Cortex M4 STM32F411, Bluetooth 4.1 processor, 70 mAh battery. Monochrome touchscreen with Oled technology, which saves battery power. Support for Android smartphones begins with version 4.4, and Apple begins to work, provided that it is updated to iOS 7th version and above.
- The next on the list is "Huawei Talkband B1". From the English "Talk" is translated as "talk", and the Band "bracelet". In fact, this is a multifunctional device that combines a fitness bracelet and a Bluetooth headset. Available in two colors - blue and gray with a corrugated bracelet made of soft-touch rubber.Protection here is at IP57 level, so water procedures are contraindicated for him. The main module is mounted on a miniature mechanism inside the bracelet - in order to get it, you must press a button.
Charging is done via USB, which is built into the strap. The charge duration is 2 hours, the operating time is up to 8 days depending on the intensity of use.
- "Talkband B2" - a logical continuation of B1, but has undergone many improvements and changes. Now the case material is metal and the whole device consists of 4 parts: 2 straps, the seat “tablets” and, in fact, the tablet itself. The area of the screen area has decreased compared to the previous version and amounted to 0.73 inches, but the pixel density has increased. The functionality is slightly extended. Now the device is able to distinguish running from walking and cycling, automatic recognition of sleep phases will not disturb you for translation to the rest mode, and the “smart” alarm function will wake you up at a specified time interval. The device has 3 types of straps: Classic leather, metal Elite and silicone Active.
- "Talkband B3" - the last member of the family. The "disease" of the predecessors was low volume during conversations, and in this version it was fixed. Also improved protection. Now the screen is covered with a protective glass "Gorilla Glass". Another innovation was the ability to make calls to your favorite contacts directly from the screen.
Colors
And here, Huawei tried to do everything to reach the largest possible audience of consumers. Therefore, there is a huge choice of colors - from classic black, silver and gold to sky blue, red and yellow.
How to choose
It should also take into account for what specific purposes you need a fitness bracelet, in what setting you will use it and what budget you have. For those who are accustomed to wear ordinary watches on their hands, “Honor B0” will do. It will replace them for you and add all those functions for the sake of which they buy such gadgets. "Band A1" is suitable for those who do not want to allocate it to themselves.
If you need a Bluetooth headset, then the choice for you is the "Talkband" line. Generation should be chosen depending on the size of your wallet. All these three devices are universal in terms of style and fit any image.
How to distinguish the original from a fake
Once you have decided on a purchase, you need to thoroughly study the appearance of the gadget, to accurately remember the location of the function keys, speaker holes and microphones, and the brand logo. After that you should pay attention to the bracelet, its quality, whether there is a pattern and which one. Charging cables are often included in the kit, they should also be branded, the sign should be clear and level. It is worth refusing to buy if the copy submitted to you has significant deviations from the images on the official website. An important condition for original products is the availability of warranty service.

Talkband can also be used as a headset for safe driving, for example.
Reviews
By experience, people mark the ease of use, ease and style of gadgets. Most of all, the owners of these fitness bracelets like the opportunity to talk on the phone without using their hands. The function, which shows the number of steps taken per day, is haunted by some, until they rise to the required level.This makes people move more and not allow themselves to sit up. Vibration during events on your phone does not allow to miss something important.
Minus, which is noted by almost everything - this is the cost.
Yes, there are models that are not so expensive, but they are endowed with far fewer features. Another drawback is the lack of screen visibility in sunny weather on some models. Summarizing, we can say that bracelets perfectly cope with their role as fitness trackers and are recommended for purchase.
