0:00
is this an activity tracker or a
0:01
SmartWatch let's find out
0:10
Dave Taylor here and I'm trying out this
0:13
this is the Huawei band 2 Pro and it's
0:18
an activity tracker and fitness
0:20
wristband but with its notifications and
0:22
everything I feel like it's kind of a
0:24
budget entry-level SmartWatch so when I
0:29
I get the fact that it's Bluetooth
0:31
low-power paired with my phone and yes
0:33
it works with iPhones as well as Android
0:35
and it also gives me battery level it
0:38
gives me the time shows me how many
0:40
steps I've taken but it has all these
0:43
other activities that I can switch to
0:45
and I can actually start a workout for
0:48
swimming or bicycling and stuff like
0:50
that or running and it's all really easy
0:53
it lasts a super long time on a charge I
0:56
think it's like 20 21 days something
0:58
like that so you know you charge this
1:00
thing once in a blue moon and in fact
1:02
while we're talking about that I have it
1:04
in my pocket how do you charge it it's
1:07
this little doohickey that comes with it
1:09
and you basically have one end has a
1:12
micro USB connection so you plug it into
1:15
your wall charger and then this just
1:17
clips on to the underneath of the
1:19
activity band and it charges it up takes
1:22
an hour or two and then you're done and
1:25
you're ready to go for another couple of
1:26
weeks really nice now let's talk about
1:29
what this has built in because it's
1:31
pretty impressive it has a GPS heart
1:33
rate monitor sleep monitor and it even
1:36
has sophisticated features like it can
1:38
do a sleep wake up alarm that actually
1:41
is tied to your sleep cycles so you
1:43
don't want alarms really to be at a
1:46
specific time you want it to be when
1:48
you're at a certain point on your REM
1:50
sleep cycle very nice
1:52
smart notifications you can even see
1:55
when a phone call comes in you can even
1:57
drop a call as I often do when it comes
1:59
in and I look at the number and I'm like
2:01
I have no idea who that is I have a
2:03
feeling that's a junk call let's drop it
2:06
now it's not a fully touch sensitive
2:09
screen there's a little spot on the
2:11
bottom that you touch and
2:12
that actually gives you all the
2:14
different functionality and let's go
2:16
ahead and have this little close-up and
2:18
you can see just a little bit about the
2:19
functionality so here's the main screen
2:22
you can see as I said time date how many
2:25
steps I've taken so far today and then
2:27
as you tap on that touch-sensitive point
2:30
then you get to skip two different
2:32
exercise and different activities and
2:34
such so it's waterproof to 50 feet which
2:38
is nice obviously if it's gonna track
2:39
swimming it needs to be waterproof but
2:41
you could wear this surfing you can wear
2:43
this wherever you want and what I really
2:45
like about it is it also comes with a
2:47
really nice app and let's now look at
2:49
that a little bit so when I look at the
2:51
app as you can see here it gives me
2:54
ability to switch all these different
2:56
workouts and everything but I can also
2:58
go and I can see how I'm doing so I can
3:02
you know get more details for example
3:04
here's how my day is going in terms of
3:06
walking and you can see there are
3:08
certain points in the day when I'm
3:09
walking a lot in certain points when I'm
3:11
not I like all this data it collects by
3:13
week by month it all goes on the Apple
3:16
on the iPhone side it goes into the
3:18
Apple health kit system so that's
3:21
actually data that's then accessible by
3:23
other health apps really really nice on
3:26
Android Android has their own little
3:28
world with Google so same sort of thing
3:30
you're collecting all this data on your
3:32
body on your health how is that not a
3:35
great thing and it's so low-key I love
3:38
that you only have to charge it every
3:39
couple of weeks and I really like it it
3:41
even has this motion sensor just like
3:43
you have on an Apple watch where when I
3:45
turn the wrist towards me then the the
3:48
screen lights up long enough for me to
3:50
see what time it is and that honestly a
3:52
lot of that is the functionality I look
3:54
for in a SmartWatch this is just like
3:56
one-fifth one-sixth of the price of like
3:59
an Android wear or an Apple watch so now
4:02
let's talk about the price because
4:04
that's all that I want to talk about
4:05
other than the functionality oh it comes
4:09
in black and a really cool blue and a
4:12
red that looks kind of like salmon to me
4:14
from the pictures I've seen but three
4:16
really striking colors it's very nice
4:19
and this Huawei band 2 pro and the pro
4:24
means you get the GPS features and such
4:26
$64.99 at amazon.com that is kind of a
4:30
steal for something with this much
4:31
functionality this is a pretty cool
4:34
fitness band and I would definitely
4:35
encourage you to check it out this is
4:37
also the perfect kind of thing for you
4:39
to give like your parents or something
4:40
or even a teenager because it's
4:43
something where they don't have to
4:44
charge it every day it's not super
4:46
annoying with all its notifications
4:47
which you can turn off in the app anyway
4:49
it just gives you a really nice
4:51
functionality and you collect good
4:53
quality data on your health and activity
4:56
and that to me is a win so this is dave
5:00
taylor i'm get back to my workout
5:02
because i need to do more than this
5:03
which means i'll catch you
