[HONOR Band 5] What’s New on HONOR New Generation Band?

As the development of fitness trackers, more functions are incorporated, not just heart rate and sleep monitoring, but more specific sports modes. A fitness tracker becomes necessary for a fitness plan.
Honor bands are continually evolving. The first-generation Honor band is different from traditional smart bands which only serve as an accessory for phones. Honor Band 3 features continuous heart rate monitoring, professional sleep monitoring, and 50m waterproof rating. Honor Band 4 stands out in the competition as the first smart fitness tracker with color display, ushering smart fitness trackers to a new era.
Likewise, Honor Band 5 achieves a breakthrough! Based on the previous generations, it offers the function of blood oxygen detection. You can get this function through OTA. It is the first fitness tracker which provides scientific measurements of heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and sleep. Moreover, it has been certified and endorsed by professional medical institutions. Additionally, Honor Band 5 has been fully upgraded, compared with previous Honor bands. Let me highlight the points with my own experience on HONOR Band 5.

1. Clearer AMOLED screen
Honor Band 5 AMOLED screen features 240x120 high resolution, with 282 PPI. The sharpness is comparable with a Retina display. With 0.95-inch touch screen, 2.5D curved glass, HOME button, the device is ultra-smooth in appearance and operation. A year ago, Honor Band 4 was well received because of the color display screen. It ushered the smart fitness trackers from the B&W era to the color screen era. The screen of Honor Band 5 is even more advanced. This AMOLED color screen presents "exquisite" details instead of "clear" ones.


2. Abundant options of themes.
Honor Band 5 also provides abundant options of themes. Each user will have his/her unique display. Press and hold the screen, and you can switch the theme, download, or synchronize the one you want.
It is worth mentioning that Honor Band 5 can also be upgraded through OTA to support third-party development and more designs. In this way, your imagination will never meet the boundaries.

3. 24-hour Real-time Continuous Heart Rate Monitoring
Honor Band 5 supports Huawei TruSeen3.0 heart rate technology, which can detect heart rate during exercise, around the clock, in a rest, etc. It will remind you when the heart rate increases. Honor Band 5 measures heart rate faster than other fitness trackers at the same price range. It shows you the measurement the instant you raise the wrist.
When it comes to sleep monitoring, Honor Band 5 is impressive. With IR light technology, HONOR Band 5 uses invisible light to monitor heart rate, to avoid the green light from disturbing your sleep.

4. 3 More Fitness Tracking Functions
Honor Band 5 has a six-axis sensor which consists of a three-axis accelerometer and a three-axis gyroscope. The former senses the variation of speed in three dimensions, (front/back/left/right/up/down), while the three-axis gyroscope detects the changes of pitch, yaw, roll angle.
Honor Band 5 is more professional, which reflects on the introduction of more sports modes. In addition to the 7 sports modes, Honor Band 5 supports 3 more ones. Thus, outdoor running, indoor running, outdoor walking, outdoor cycling, indoor cycling, free training, indoor walking, elliptical machine, rowing machine are available for you to choose.


5. Longer Battery Life
I received a lot of notifications from social media Apps. It proves that for heavy users like me, Honor Band 5 can last 5 to 6 days without charging.
At 02:44 in the afternoon, when I first got the Honor Band 5, it had 87% of electricity left. After 8 hours, the remaining power is 79%. During the test, I turned on power-intensive functions such as scientific sleep and continuous heart rate measurement, and I also turned on features such as the wrist-up display.
According to Honor official data, if you only turn on scientific sleep and keep continuous heart rate measurement off as I do, the battery can work for 9 days. If you save more power by disenabling scientific sleep, continuous heart rate measurement, and wrist-up display, the battery life can be extended to 14 days.

In my opinion, Honor Band 5 is unique in the market and has a competitive advantage. If you want to buy a fitness tracker soon, pay more attention to health, exercise, then Honor Band 5 will be the best choice.
