Review of the Honor Band 6 bracelet – first impressions
After unboxing, there is no need to expect delight from the appearance. The Chinese have advanced far in technology, but they have serious problems with design. And the Honor Band 6 fitness bracelet was no exception. The plastic case and strap look very poor. Only the strap removal mechanism pleased – a simple and convenient implementation with a plug.
The magnetic charger attaches perfectly to the contacts. It is made of quality, so it will last a long time. The button on the case with a red stripe slightly irritates. Notably, all descriptions mention how great it is that this wonderful red stripe exists.
First powering on the fitness bracelet Honor Band 6 – software part
The AMOLED display leaves much to be desired. In a dark room, there are no questions about the gadget, but under direct sunlight, it is impossible to see anything. A pleasant feature is the oleophobic coating on the display. The screen does not collect fingerprints or dust.
But the software part pleased. Indeed, the company managed to find the key to the consumer’s heart. Starting from software management to design in the interface. Everything works wonderfully. Every detail is well thought out. Alarm clock, interface for setting up and managing the Honor Band 6 bracelet. Each detail works flawlessly.
For its price, the gadget is quite good. Slightly improving the external design, and the fitness bracelet will immediately become more interesting to buyers. Moreover, the manufacturer has already taken a step towards budget users by removing unnecessary NFC and GPS.
