Try Realme Band, looks promising and will save your money too

Battery life is good and has direct USB charging (which I felt is very good)

I'm inclined towards Amazfit but this videos confuses me between Lite vs BIP.


In my office I had a look at a teammates Lite and it was cool compared to the usual boring Mi.

** Lite has very cool watch faces etc. while I doubt Bip has those.

Bip has built in GPS and compass wherein Lite does not have. GPS will be very useful for outdoor activity. I think you have third party apps where you can download watch faces for Bip. Amazefit has a round dial model but costs around Rs.7000.

Realme Band VS HUAWEI Band 4 VS Honor Band 5: Winner is? | GearBest Blog

Along with Realme 6 series, Realme also launched its first fitness band in India, which simply named “Realme Band” and only cost Rs.1499. This time, Realme Band combines the advantages of various brands of smart bracelets, not only supporting real-time heart rate monitor, but also having a...

Sorry for the bump. Which watch offers best sleep pattern logging, and real-time app notifications (WA, FB, SMS) + call reject/mute.?

I have used various trackers over the years but found Fitbit to be the best for sleep tracking. Nearly all watches offer real-time notifications, option to accept/reject calls and at least send template SMS messages.

Most budget trackers will give you wildly inaccurate step counts and sleep patterns because they have cheap sensors and extremely rubbish algorithms, so using cheaper devices for serious tracking makes no sense.

I wonder how do even people sleep wearing watches, bangles and ornaments..
I even keep my phone in another room..
I believe in concentrating purely on sleeping minus such gadget dependency...Dont wanna be their slaves!

Here's the link.

I'm not sure about any monitoring as I'm least interested in smart watches but of course if someone has a medical condition and he/she truly needs to rely on smart watches they should perhaps buy one which serves their purpose.
Wife uses it only to track walking and running activities etc. basic needs.

As for Heart rate, we tried some time back. I'm not sure how to judge if its accurate or not but I went through many reviews and they said this model is great in accuracy and battery life.
Also, few friends also bought this and reviewed its pretty accurate as those guys use almost every feature as they gym, swim, trek, cycle etc.

@becool773 this might help you if you specifically looking for heart rate. Glad HONOR Band 5 made to the list!

I just don't trust these websites anymore. I would rely on customer reviews than them. All the below one's have more or less the same reviews

https://www.amazon.in/Smart-AMOLED-Display-Battery-Resistant/dp/B08GXC2NTX/

I wish Samsung was into bands too. Their heart rate sensor is very accurate.

Why did you choose the Honor over this?
