Honor Band 5 review

The Honor Band 5 doesn't reinvent its predecessor as much as it improves some of its problems, and that's okay.

Affordable price tag Improved sleep tracking Expanded exercise roster

Screen sometimes unresponsive Must be plugged in to power on Notifications temperamental

The Honor Band 5 is a small, but steady, step up from the Honor Band 4 in many regards. It’s got it’s problems, for sure, but as one of the most affordable fitness trackers on the market right now, it’s easy to forgive these issues.

Honor Band 5 review

The Honor Band 5 is an astonishingly cheap fitness tracker; so is it good value for money, or is it not even worth its low price?

— Low price, great screen, enduring battery

— Not a big improvement over its predecessor

The Honor Band 5 would be a very good fitness tracker even if you weren’t looking at the price tag. The fact that it delivers such an excellent all-round performance at a dizzyingly low RRP makes this an easy recommendation; you won’t be disappointed.

Honor Band 5

Despite being an iterative upgade, the Honor Band 5 provides nearly everything a beginner could ask for. Here's why it just falls short in its quest for best budget fitness tracker.

Honor Band 5

The inexpensive Honor Band 5 fitness tracker offers surprising functionality for the price, though it must be teamed with your smartphone for GPS distance measuring.

Rock-bottom price. Small but sunny AMOLED display. Decent fitness and sleep tracking features. Good battery life.

No GPS. Notifications can preempt workout setup. Stiff straps.

Bottom Line: The inexpensive Honor Band 5 fitness tracker offers surprising functionality for the price, though it must be teamed with your smartphone for GPS distance measuring.

Honor Band 5: Barring slow response, at Rs 2,599 you cannot go wrong with this fitness band

At Rs 2,599, if you can live with the noticeably slow response, there is really little to complain about the Honor Band 5.

Honor Band 5 Review

Honor has made the Band 5 swim proof, but is that enough?

Bright AMOLED display ; Excellent sleep tracking ; Accurate activity tracking ; Swim-proof

Proprietary charger ; Poor battery life with all features enabled

The Honor Band 5 is an incremental upgrade over the Band 4, which it replaces. Honor has retained all the positive attributes of the previous model, such as accurate sleep tracking and that bright AMOLED display, and has now made the device swimproof....
