TechRadar Verdict
There is a lot to like about the Honor Band 7.
The tracking data is mostly reliable, although I found the stress tracking to be inaccurate.
For a budget fitness tracker, you’ll be hard pressed to find anything better.
The Honor Band 7 boasts an incredible 1.47-inch AMOLED display which is lovely to look at and engage with.
Color graphics are displayed with clarity and brightness, even when outside in the bright sun.
Despite this, I actually really enjoyed using the tracker.
verify you choose wisely, because the band is not removable.
The standout feature of the Band 7 is its 1.47-inch AMOLED screen.
It’s big, bright, and beautifully responsive.
I had no issues with fingerprint marks, and the interface transitions were smooth and reliable.
The band comes in three different colors including Meteorite Black, Pink, and Emerald Green.
The silicone band is unfortunately non-removable, which is admittedly common for budget fitness trackers like this.
The software interface is where the tracker excels.
The graphics are beautifully designed, with just the right amount of data included on each screen.
The homescreen can be customized using a range of watch faces, with each one displaying different stats.
Considering most users only want tracked steps as a guide, the accuracy level is more than sufficient.
The optical sensor tracks both heart rate and Sp02 levels.
Aside from health tracking, the Honor Band 7 can also record data when exercising.
GPS tracking can be activated by tethering it to your smart phone.
Workouts that require GPS tracking must be launched from a phone instead.
Nevertheless, a good chunk of features for a band at this price.
Even though Honor promises 10 days for heavy usage, I actually found it to be nearer to 12.
It’s always nice when the reality is better than expected.
I certainly didn’t feel like I could trust it.
Automatic sleep tracking provides data that is broken down into sleep stages and the duration of each stage.
If you do fall flat then fast charging will get it fully charged in less than an hour.
