As the latest smart wristband from Huawei, the Band 8 shines with a more modern design, a square face, updated watch face, improved battery longevity, and integration of various workout support modes, as well as additional health monitoring features like heart rate and SpO2 tracking. Let's delve into what's exciting about Huawei's newest smart band.
First off, let's unbox it together. The Huawei Band 8 comes in a simple packaging dominated by white color, with the Huawei logo prominently displayed along with a lifelike image of the device.
Speaking briefly about the accessories, there will naturally be a user manual and a distinctive magnetic charging cable for smart wearable devices.
Turning back to the Huawei Band 8, this smart wristband retains the elongated rectangular design of its predecessor, offering not only aesthetics but also a better viewing experience, comprehensiveness, and inclusivity.
Upon a quick glance, you may find it hard to spot the differences between the Huawei Band 8 and its 7th version. The front face appears almost identical, but upon closer inspection, you'll notice that the frame of the 8th generation is much flatter and more squared off.
It's fair to say that this design makes the Huawei Band 8 look much sturdier and more robust. As far as I know, upon official release, we'll have 3 color options such as black, pink, and green. The green variant looks particularly beautiful, innovative, and incredibly eye-catching.
Comparing dimensions, the Huawei Band 8 is indeed lighter and thinner than the Band 7. The device measures a sleek 8.99 mm compared to its predecessor's 9.99 mm, and most notably, it weighs only 14g, 2g lighter than the Huawei Band 7 (16g).
Thus, we can see that Huawei is gradually improving and optimizing its wearable devices to provide users with a comfortable, lightweight experience over time. While the weight difference may seem minor, it significantly enhances comfort during workouts or prolonged wear.
The front face of the Huawei Band 8 measures 43mm with a sizable 1.47-inch touch display, allowing for the display of more content. The screen is protected by a seamless 2.5D curved glass that blends seamlessly with the frame, resulting in a smooth, pleasing touch experience.
Huawei also adds a new watch face with high customization capabilities, allowing users to change colors to match their attire simply with a photo, making it easy for users to customize according to their preferences.
Moreover, the Huawei Band 8 excels in display performance, thanks to the use of an AMOLED screen for stunning and vibrant colors, combined with a resolution of 194 × 368 pixels and a pixel density of 282 PPI. This allows us to view displayed content such as messages, notifications, and icons with added visual appeal and clarity.
Similar to its predecessor, the Huawei Band 8 is also equipped with an Always On Display feature, allowing us to check the time and receive continuous notifications without having to wake the watch.
Overall, the design of the Huawei Band 8 is simple, featuring only a single button located on the right side of the device. This button serves to power on the watch, access the menu, and navigate back from the menu.
Below the Huawei Band 8 is where the sensors are located to enable heart rate monitoring, SpO2 measurement, and charging. On the top and bottom of the device are two protrusions; pressing them allows the straps to be detached for easy replacement.
Speaking of the strap, the current Huawei Band 8 on my wrist uses a classic buckle-style silicone strap. The strap is made of very soft material, providing a comfortable, smooth feel, and does not cause wrist discomfort even during long-term wear.
