HUAWEIHUAWEI Band 4e Smart Band, Fitness Tracker with Shoe Wearing Design and Basketball Mode, 2 Weeks Battery Life, 5ATM Waterproof, 6-Axis Motion Sensor, Professional Running Guidance, Misty Grey

For the price i paid this is a great device. It works well, it fits, it looks durable, the step count is accurate, however it takes too long to charge.

The box arrive damaged: it looked like it was previously opened and then closed with double sided tape. The parts were not in the insert when the box was opened (like they’d just been shoved in the inner sleeve). Even after a charge the product didn’t work! The wristband smelt funky (sweat?!).

I still really like this and would buy again. It's cheap, and more importantly for me - comfortable, light flexible (unlike plastic wristbands), all I wanted was a pedometer anyway. Here are some things to know however if you're attempting to use with an iPhone (I have iPhone 7) and need more details.1. Yes it does work on Apple. You'll download the Huawei Health App from the app store, but it won't have full capability like on Android, the basketball stats don't show up. So all you get are step-count and sleep monitor. No HR, no SPO2, no basketball features.2. Sleep monitoring. I am only comparing to the iphone on bed (movement) and table (sound) methods. This is of course better. I did dream, but it didn't record REM. It didn't record 'too much' false sleep, and did pick up moments of deep sleep, although don't know how accurate. The watch will show you total hours, the app gives you the time and bars of deep vs light. You can't zoom the scale, but you can hover your finger to get exact times (albeit a little fiddly).3. No HR monitor (no lights on back) (although the sleep monitor help guide says not to leave the watch face down on a table when not in use as may think it's on a wrist as it doesn't get light refracted back - so not sure if it uses the movement or a combination to measure, or if if the guide was generic).4. No other readings. When you clip the device into the shoe clip, it somehow detects automatically and switches mode. But it still doesn't provide any of that data like foot strike pattern, jumping, speed or anything on the app (or the device) - it only has a GPS mode (functional in both wrist and foot modes) to track your run or cycle. In either mode it does give you km, calories, and vertical climbing steps (but I haven't tested the latter).5. Step count is 'fine'. When you really start moving, it triggers false steps, but when you're sitting for some time (like 5mins) and moving your arms for reading and things, it doesn't trigger. So all in all, it's a good gauge and still does the job in getting you motivated to move! It's surprisingly challenging to hit even 5k when working from home! You can change your daily target, but that's about it. No further 'health goals'. You can enter your weight target but you'd need to enter manually.6. Screen and usability. Has B&W screen, the screen has 1 touch button which cycles through the options. You press and hold to make it 'select'. I didn't realise this until much more searching, but there are some options inside the app when you click on 'my device' (i.e. you don't just go there once on setup). It has the settings for the alarm. It's simple to use, the app isn't great but since limited features, don't use it much and you get used to it.7. Fast charging and neat USB plug. This is only day 2 and the battery is 80%.8. Alarms. It can wake you up within 30 mins of a 'light sleep pattern'. You can set up to 5 different alarms - for any day or time. Or just leave it to go off at the same time during weekdays. There's no option to modify beyond this. You can get it to buzz you (it's a subtle buzz, no sound, not repeated, just enough) every hour. I read somewhere that it does this between 8am or something to 5pm or something like that, but in other words, you can't change that. And you can't change it to buzz you on the half hour for example.9. Extra features. You can tap it to 'find my phone'. I haven't set notifications to on, so can't comment on what it displays with whatsapp messages etc.Overall, would have been great to get the basketball features but serves me fine. Speedy delivery with Amazon Prime, well packaged. There are a lot of app setup questions which 'feel' too much, but I have all settings like tracking, notifications, and data uploads to 'off'! Enjoy, and stay fit!

Bought this for my Mum. She has a Huawei phone and the entire set up was so easy. They connected seamlessly. The app is great and the watch itself is surprisingly lovely. The elastic strap is very comfortable, easily adjusted and secure also the watch face can be popped out and put on a different strap bought from Amazon or securely onto your shoe to be more accurate with steps, although the accuracy seems reliable on the wrist. The watch gives call and text notifications within 10/15 metres of each other once bluetooth is on. The display is not coloured, but bright and easy to read, even without glasses on. It's easy to use too which was a bonus for my mum. It says basketball tracking or something on the box but I otherwise didn't even notice that feature. Unreal quality for the price. Highly recommend

Plus points:Find phone works well as long as you are near enough to hear the speech, it was pretty loud.The Huawei health app is fully featured with lots of motivation prompts and stats galore, although some features are only for their more expensive trackers, like Sp02 and BP, heart rate.It uses your Phones GPS (if you allow it) and so shows a map of your travels when in exercise mode.Strap is comfortable and hopefully lasts longer than other silicone ones I've had.Long battery life.It's very cheap for a tracker.Negative points:The steps count is unreliable.The sleep monitor does not register when I wake up for the loo.

I sent this device back after 24hrs as due to multiple devices reviewed on the same page on amazon I miss understood the functionality of this particular device. That said this a fantastic device for the price. Its comfortable and easy to use. The App is not the best (but remember this is a budget device so you cant complain to heavily). The sleep tracking is very good as is the pedometer and the message display from the phone is very good, but it does little more than this.I wanted the swimming and fitness tracking and purchased the Honour Band as a replacement which does many more things for barely £10 more. Again budget device so limitations of the app and the device are accepted but its a fantastic device as well.

I love this product as it is very easy to use.You push the watch at the bottom for it to come away from the strap for charging. It pops into the cradle easily and I used my laptop to charge it.I have an Honor phone and already had the Huawei Health App installed. Just went into the app and connected the watch to my phone via Bluetooth.I just then adjusted the settings through the app, couldn't get the step counter to work at first but I had it set to running instead of walking.The band is very comfortable to wear and I would definitely recommend this as it works well but isn't very expensive, a great purchase.

The watch looks great and appears to work but when I realised that my step count was very very low step count on a normal day (under 800 steps!), I then wore 2 watches and this one was clearly not counting all my steps.I requested a refund as it is clearly defective but the seller pushed me to the warranty page for the manufacturer instead of refunding.
