What's up guys Chigz here from Chigz Tech Reviews.
So today I've got my hands on the latest Honor Band 5.
Now this is a brand new affordable feature-packed fitness tracker by Honor.
Priced under $35 so first of all inside the box you
will find a user manual a USB charging cable and last but certainly not least
the honor band 5 itself now the watch body is made completely from plastic
finished in black and on the front you do have a 0.9 5 inch AMOLED display with
a screen resolution of 120 by 240 and it's also a very responsive touch screen
furthermore you do have bluetooth 4.2 a custom basic OS which is compatible with
both your Android and iOS smartphones along with a hundred milli amp hour
battery which promises a whopping 14 day battery life and this watch is 5 ATM
water-resistant which means you can go swimming with this watch on now you do
have silicone TPU straps finished in black and the watch itself feels quite
comfortable on the wrist it's very light coming in at only 22.7 grams and it
doesn't feel bulky at all now there are no buttons on either side of this watch
you control everything from the touch screen and I have to say the touch
screen is very very responsive and a pleasure to use now at the bottom we do
have a heart rate sensor and your charger pins and I'll quickly show you
how the charger works this charger simply clips on and it can only go in
one way so if you're trying to it the wrong way it won't work so you turn it
around and you just clip it on and
that's it it can only go on one way so now that's ready to charge plug that
into any USB source it takes around 95 minutes to fully charge this watch but
it will last you an incredible 14 days so another thing I must add is you
cannot remove the straps the straps are totally fixed in place and you don't
have to remove the strap in order to charge the device charging it is quite
straightforward furthermore this watch has no Wi-Fi no GPS no NFC this watch
works only with bluetooth and it does support both Android and iOS devices and
you do have Bluetooth version 4.2 so this is basically a fitness SmartWatch
and the functions of this watch are all-day activity tracking with calorie
and distance information you have notifications and alarms sleep
monitoring and lots more now notifications are read-only so your
message is whatsapp and emails will all come through and you can read them but
you just can't reply on the watch now let's have a closer look at the watch so
here is your default watch face it will give you your time in the weather at the
top left I'll show you some of the functions if we swipe up you've got your
step counter and if you tap on it it will give you more information on your
steps including calories burnt distance traveled etc so if we go back swipe up
again you've got your heartrate monitor if we keep going
you've got your SP zero too now if we keep going
you've got your sleep record so last night I slept for six hours and 13
minutes you've got workouts and if you click on workouts it will give you a
choice of a whole load of workouts that you can immediately start so imagine you
wanted to do some indoor cycling if you tap on indoor cycle okay so the workouts
going to begin now we started an indoor cycling workout so it will constantly
check your heart rate it will time your exercise and when you've finished your
workout you keep the center pressed and then you'll have a choice to resume or
stop so we're gonna stop the workout and and that is it the workout is now ended
and that will be recorded on your phone so that's your workouts if we keep going
you've got messages if we keep going you've got more if you click on that
you've got a timer so you can set a timer you've got a stopwatch
you've got phases so these are different watch faces you've got find phone that's
my phone buzzing now because I pressed a firing phone you've got your brightness
now what's interesting is the brightness level I've only got this on to and the
brightness is is still quite high this is level one I just want to show you
look at that people level three and we're just going to go straight to
max and that's maximum brightness as you can see it's an absolute gorgeous
display and then under system you have options to reset restart power off and
your about information this is your default watch face and from the
smartphone app which is huar way health app I could not find any way to change
the watch face to change your watch face you've got to do it manually so swipe
down go to more and over here you will see faces and here you will find a whole
collection of different watch faces that you can immediately change to and I will
now show you the selection of watch face is available on this watch right now
so now we're going to test out screen on hand-raising
I have three watches on my wrist this one is the honorbound five Apple watch
in the middle and the Xiaomi me band four is on the right now I have a habit
of comparing things so I'm sorry I just have to compare the screen on
hand-raising so here we go that felt like exactly the same time let's try it
again that one was too close okay
Apple watch honor and then shall me try again
Apple watch honor then Xiaomi stir it again same Apple watch honor and Xiaomi
so I am pleased to say that the honor band five will give you a very fast
screen on hand-raising and whilst I do have all three watches on my wrist we
may as well try running a heartrate test so we are running a heartrate test on
all three watches at the same time I just rearranged them this one is the
Xiaomi band for the honor band five is in the middle and of course the Apple
watch at the end so all three have given us very similar results it looks like
the honor band five has given us the closest result to the Apple watch so I'm
pleased to say that the honor band 5 has a very accurate heart rate sensor built
in ok so we are going to have a quick look at the software so when you first
open the app you will see your name at the top you will see the connection
status and the steps you have taken so far with your calories distance and
climbing now if we click on that actual step counter you will you'll be given
more information on a day week and month basis so if we go to week so you can see
my yesterday's steps were two thousand eight hundred and ninety seven daily
average and it can even detect what you did walking running or climbing so a
hundred percent of mine was suggest walking now you can also see monthly and
yearly quite detailed information about step counter you've got your weight
information you can start workouts over here and then you have your resting
heart rate information if you click on it you can be given detailed information
day week month and year now the feature that I really like about this watch is
who are we sleep so it says sleep at night 6.2 hours
and gives you a quality rating of your sleep as well if you click on this it'll
give you some detailed again day month year now it says you only slept for six
hours thirteen minutes last night which is a little short and it will give you
some advice etc on how to get better sleep now if we break down my sleep it
says one hour 38 minutes of deep sleep two hours of light two hours fifty-five
minutes was light sleep and it even tells you how many times you woke up at
night so I apparently woke up twice so I woke up twice and it gives you
information on how to prevent waking up etc so I really like that so detailed
sleep tracking and advice on how to improve now you've got discover where
you can discover different workouts fitness plans and training plans and
over here you've got devices and it will list down all your devices so we have
the honor band five click on it and you'll be able to enable and disable
various different features I'll quickly go through them you've got huar way true
sleep which I love activity reminder continuous heart rate monitoring heart
rate limit interval and warnings function customization you've got alarms
do not disturb notifications which I will click to show you that messages
whatsapp Facebook Twitter all of these messages can be passed through to the
watch now you've got weather reports Bluetooth disconnection reminder raise
wrist to wake the screen you can rotate the screen firmware updates and you can
restore factory default settings so that is basically the software I really do
like it it's simplified it's easy to use but if you require detailed information
it's there for you to access so there you have it guys and that was the
honorbound five and I have to say it's a superb Fitness watch for the price you
have a bright and responsive AMOLED touchscreen along with a very good heart
rate sensor step counter automatic activity detection sleep detection
you've got changeable watch faces and if that's not enough you also get five ATM
water resistance so you can take the swimming with you with no problems at
all and I have to say this watch is a direct challenger to the Xiaomi band
