Hi everyone welcome to Wesknows tech news and reviews! the honor band 6 and amazfit bip U are
still our favorite budget trackers the looks the huge display features and functionality are rich
on both but which one can you trust more which one of the two trackers is more accurate and in
order to spice up the video we will be adding the mass for zenbuds in the mix for sleep benchmarking
and the viatom medical grade spo2 monitor for resting heart rate and spo2 benchmarking polar
h10 ecg strap is still the benchmark for the heart rate accuracy and so today we'll be comparing the
accuracy of the honor band 6 and the bp we'll be comparing their heart rate and resting heart rate
accuracy during overnight sleep spo2 readings upon awakening and will perform a sleep test as well
if you are new to Wesknows tech news and reviews we talk about the latest tech news we do brutally
honest reviews and share hacks and tricks along the way let's kick off the comparisons and tests
let's start with the heart rate resting heart rate then we'll jump into spo2 and sleep so continuous
heart rate is available reading during an activity because heart rate or pulse rate is
a method to measure the intensity exerted during a workout with the heart rate we have tested the
two trackers on my evening runs if you're new to the channel check the links in the description
let's take a look at the plots on top we have the honor band 6 and on the bottom is the bip
u the test we carried out on different tracks hence we need to look at the variances these
variances indicate how far the tracker optical heart rate sensors are away from the polar h10
ecg heart rate straps and wow the band 6 is not doing a great job and recording the peaks
hence the max and average readings are much lower than actuals on the contrary bp does a great job
the max heart rate is spot on at 183 beats per minute the average is only a little understated
by 1.9 percent and that's due to the overestimated trolls so the round is taken by the beep you with
ease now your resting heart rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute while you're at
rest the best time to do the measuring is while you're asleep resting heart rate can provide a
rough snapshot of how well the heart muscle is functioning the benchmarks for the resting heart
rate were taken from two sources the medical grade viatom o2 ring and amasfit zen buds
let's take a look at the metrics from both use the average from the two and compare against the
trackers let's jot these down and bring in the contenders band 6 are showing a resting heart
rate of 58 beats per minute while the bipu has recorded 59 beats per minute and once again we
notice that the band 6 holds true to its ways it's not registering the peaks and hence the heart rate
shown is lower the bpu wins the round as well by being closer to the medical grade o2 ring
and sleeve specific zenbuds sp02 aka blood oxygen saturation is another metric that can forewarn
respiratory issues and problems the band 6 and bip u cannot do continuous measurements hence the
on demand or spot nature of the readings is less useful but considering the sub 50 mark spot spo2
is better than none at all let's check the blood oxygen saturation now as we can see the medical
grade o2 ring has shown the average continuous reading of 94 over the whole night because the
band 6 and bp can only take spot readings i took those right after i woke up and was still in bed
band 6 is showing 97 while the bp is showing just 90 percent the difference is small because
we're comparing 90 verse 94 and 97 verse 94 but the band is closer so it does take the round
while sleep is a key variable for determining how much rest your body had and how much energy was
recuperated from the previous days both watches offer three sleep stages and recommendations on
how to improve your sleep quality considering the zenbuds are specifically designed to monitor sleep
aid better and higher sleep quality we will use its falling asleep and wake up times
i fell asleep at 3 17 and woke up at 8 41 am sleeping 5 hours and 29 minutes in total
band 6 is very close in fact just 5 minutes off in terms of total time slept the bp though
is further out showing an earlier time of falling asleep and a later awake time as a
result the sleep total is overstated by quite a bit hence the round again goes to honor band 6.
so what are the conclusions that we can make from this comprehensive accuracy test of the honor
band 6 and the amazfit bip u well the trackers are definitely well balanced there is no clear winner
as the heart rate and resting heart rate tests are won by the bip u but the spo2 and sleep tests
are taken by the band 6. i think the only correct conclusion is that both are very capable and quite
unbelievable that both are this cheap and in the super budget price segment of under 50 bucks so
you can use these very budget trackers to actually monitor your vitals and improve your general
health thanks for watching the video if you did find it interesting and insightful you know
