There are some that I found quite useful and would like to share with you guys.

1.       Customizable Watch Face

Your watch face is absolutely under your control. No matter you wear it at the gym or use it as a fashion accessory to go with your casual wear, there will be one matches you. Various fitness data including steps, calories and total distance you’ve walked can be displayed on the screen according to your preference. If you want to keep it simple, the ones with only time and weather displayed will be the perfect ones.

2.       Smart Notification

Keep the FOMO away from you with the HONOR band 5’s smart notification function. The moderate vibration from the band alerts you the current message from your social channels as well as the important calls you don’t want to miss out. Another smart alert function can’t be ignored is the smart sitting alert function. It reminds you when you are sitting still a long period of time, which is very considerate and helpful for students and white-collars.

3.       Swim Stroke Recognition

The HONOR Band 5 supports multiple sport modes including running, cycling, rower, swimming and more. It can also automatically recognize swim strokes, record swimming speed, distance, calories, and determine average SWOLF. Built with 50 meters water resistant, it is your best swimming companion.

4.       Look for Your Smartphone

Are there times when you just can’t find your phone when you know exactly that it is just around you? No worries, the smart assistant will help you do the work. Swipe to “System” and tap “Find phone” to locate your phone. The phone rings if it is within the Bluetooth range.

5.       Remote Camera Control

Take selfie or photo with one tap on your HONOR Band 5 makes photography more fun and convenient. Currently, this function only works with phones running EMUI 8.1 or higher version to take photos with built-in camera of the mobile phone system.

6.       Remote Music Control

The 30 September update brings the remote music control function to Band 5. It can be switched on via the Huawei Health app, customers can use Band 5 to instantly view and control their favorite music apps right from their wrist. Apps supported include Google Play Music, Spotify, YouTube, Shazam, Huawei music and many more.

7.       SpO2 Monitoring

The SpO2 monitoring is another new function that comes along the recent OTA. It helps track your blood oxygen saturation level for both fitness and health concerns. As good blood oxygenation is essential to supply the energy of muscles to function well, it is considerate to add this function to in the new update.
