Honor has been entered into Smart Wristband market for several years and it has improved these gadgets during different generations.
The latest generation, Honor band 5 has recently come on the market. Honor 5 is almost the same as the last generation, however, there are some minor changes that are important.

DESIGN

When the display is off, it’s probably difficult or impossible to recognize Honor 5 from 4 in term of appearance. Honor 5 design is the same as Honor 4. The body and the band are made from plastic and Silicon, respectively. The band is covered by a glass layer which is lasted towards up and down of the body with a low slope. There aren’t any physical keys in this wristband, instead you can see a touchable silver circle without any bulge at the end of the 0.95 inches display. Actually, the touchable circle is home key. You can back to the main page by touching it in every menu.

Behind the wristband, a heart rate sensor and two pins are used to connect to the charger. Compared to Honor 4,there is no significant difference in respect of appearance in this part. The plastic bands are closed well on hand, but you can’t open and close it quickly because of the band’s middle loop. On the other hand,it’s so easy to change the band, you can change the band easily by detaching two plastic pins. Honor band 5 is pretty light and during sleep it won’t bother you, even sometimes you will forget that a wristband has been fasten on your hand. Generally speaking, Honor band 5 design is reasonable, it looks simple and beautiful on the hand.

HARDWARE

In contrast to the last generation, one of the Honor band 5‘s abilities is that it’s equipped with Spo2 sensor which provides measurement of oxygen saturation in the blood, but you can’t observe the recorded results or the graphs by this sensor in the app and the numbers are just shown on the wristband. In addition to, Spo2 sensor doesn’t work automatically and you have to make it active through wristband menu.

Saturation above 95 percent, usually is considered normal. In the following, you will read some details related to the Honor band 5.

Honor band 5 doesn’t support GPS, so it depends on cellphone’s GPS to record the route, where has been gone, in some sport activities. Of course, you shouldn’t expect Bluetooth from a smart wristband at this price.

Honor band 5’s heart rate monitoring is exact. You can have an access to it easily through one of the options on the menu. In Honor band 4, you could just turn on or off permanent heart rate monitoring (by the application)
,but smart monitoring has been added to Honor band 5 to control the heart rate according to the activities you are doing. In this condition, the battery consumption will reduced. Also you can determine minimum and maximum values for permitted range of heart rate, so when heart rate is out of permitted range for ten minutes, it let you know by wristband vibration.

and during day it can be seen well, even if you set resolution on level 3 from 5. However, minimum resolution could be fewer. One of the Honor band 5’s ability is that it supports a display which is always on. There wasn’t such feature in Honor band 4.
