Huawei Honor Band 3 Review

It's been quite a while since I did any review. My schedule has been so busy lately that I decided to change the format of this blog in order to get through the backlog. I will be making most of the reviews more concise and to the point. So here it goes.

The Good

1. Price 
2. Accurate heart rate tracking 
3. Battery life 
4. Health App

The Bad

1. Not enough swim tracking information 
2. No music control

Verdict 

My previous fitness tracker was the Xiaomi Mi Band 2. I really liked it but it didn't have continuous heart rate tracking plus the screen was too small making it difficult to read sometimes. Honor Band 3 does have it. In fact, I did a recent treadmill stress test and compared its heart rate data with the Honor Band 3 and it was almost the same. I also got this for the swim tracking feature. However, I was disappointed that it only showed time and calories burned. No distance or number of strokes. Overall, I'm still pretty happy with my purchase. For only Php2000 (US$40), you get a decent fitness band with a good companion app and excellent battery life lasting up to 15 to 20 days on a single charge.
