Here’s my long time review of Honor Band 4, I have been using it
for last one month. Priced at Rs. 2,499, Honor Band 4 is engineered to offer
high-end fitness-related features to price-conscious consumers in India.
Available in three color variants - Meteorite Black, Midnight
Navy, and Dahlia Pink, the Honor Band 4 feels different on the wrist.
Honor Band 4 comes with a bigger and vibrant color screen which is
pleasing to the eyes and offers good outdoor visibility and also feels more
fluid to interact. The band sports a 0.95- inch AMOLED 2.5D curved screen with
a resolution of 240x120 pixels. It's a full touch panel and offers a better
viewing experience. If you prefer colored screens, Honor Band 4 is the most economical
band you can buy.
The vibrant color AMOLED display on Honor Band 4 shows a lot of
useful information. Honor Band 4 displays the time, date, weather data,
device's Bluetooth status, steps taken, calories burnt and battery status. Long
tap on the main screen to choose between three different watch faces depending
upon the content you want to see on the screen. Besides, slide up and down to check
the number of steps, and access other important features such as heart rate,
messages, sleep duration, activity function, and settings menu. And while the
band can display text messages, and notifications from apps like WhatsApp,
Facebook, Instagram, etc, it cannot show missed call data and weather
information which is a letdown. It allows you to answer and rejecting calls
which come quite handy in everyday routine.
Honor Band 4 can also track your steps, calories burnt, distance
covered, heart rate and sleep data. As far as exercise and activity measurement
is concerned, Honor Band 4 offers activity tracking features such as outdoor
run/indoor run, outdoor walk, indoor/outdoor cycle, pool swim, and free
training. These are tucked inside ‘Workout' tab and largely offer timers to
help you keep a tap on your exercise activity.
Honor Band 4 features HUAWEI's TruSleep monitoring technology. In
addition to Deep sleep and Light sleep, the band is also capable to track REM
sleep, nap time, breathing quality, and sleep time throughout the day.
Additionally, to make good use of this data, the band also provides
personalized sleep suggestions and 200+ suggestions to improve your sleep cycle
which is a great feature.
Honor Band 4 also offers continuous heart rate monitoring. It does
that with the help of night infrared heart rate monitoring technology which
does not hamper your sleep with bright lights. The band also shares heart rate
warnings, which is a nifty feature for users with heart problems.
Honor Band 4 is backed by a 100 mAh battery cell which can last
for about two weeks if you don't enable the continuous heart rate monitoring
and 24-hour sleep tracking. With these features turned on, the battery life
reduces to 4 to 5 days a week max. I am getting an average of 5 days with sleep
tracking enabled.
At a price-point of Rs.
2,499, Honor Band 4 offers a good package of fitness-centric features, a
colored AMOLED display, and a durable design. The band can help you lead a
healthy lifestyle if you are ready to give wearable technology a chance.
