Huawei Band 2 Pro

Wristband with GPS module

The bracelet is quite popular among buyers. Unlike Huawei Honor Band 3, it approaches the class of professional wearable gadgets, as it is equipped with a GPS module. It automatically activates in training mode and helps you accurately track your route, distance and speed during runs and other outdoor cardio activities.

Athlete Opportunity Set

The Huawei Band 2 Pro heart rate monitor supports continuous heart rate monitoring. This function will allow you to determine the average level of the resting heart rate, the minimum and maximum values in the training process, as well as get more accurate data on the consumed calories.

For runners, there is a preparation mode for competitions with a training programme. There is sleep monitoring and the “Breathing” function, which contributes to proper recovery after jogging or other loads.

In addition, the "Swimming" mode is provided. The bracelet itself is not afraid of water (diving up to 50 metres is possible), and when swimming, it determines the time, distance and calories burned. However there are no advanced swimming metrics, such as the number of strokes or the definition of swimming style.

According to user reviews of Huawei Band 2 Pro, during normal activity, the accelerometer that counts steps gives errors in measurements up to 10%, as it is highly sensitive to any fluctuations.

Convenient and autonomous

The bracelet of the Chinese brand is equipped with a 0.91-inch monochrome OLED screen with a touch control key. The brightness is not adjustable, but by default it is quite high. Along the edges of the display are plastic inserts designed to protect it from scratches. A silicone bracelet with a double clasp is attached to the core with screws for a secure fit. Buyers are offered straps in black, red and blue.

Connects to Huawei Band 2 Pro smartphones via Bluetooth v 4.2. For management, you can install two branded Huawei Wear applications on your mobile (for setting notifications, alarm clocks and other settings) and Huawei Health (for monitoring workouts and activity).

If you do not use constant heart rate monitoring and GPS, then you will have to charge the battery of a wearable gadget approximately once every 2 to 3 weeks. Regular heart rate measurements will reduce the battery life by 2 times, and continuous GPS operation will drain the battery by 100 mAh in 3.5 hours.

The bracelet is suitable for amateur athletes, especially fans of running. The GPS module and constant heart rate monitoring distinguish the model from the background of low-cost counterparts. In addition, Huawei Band 2 Pro is cheaper than, for example, Xiaomi Huami Amazfit Bip, similar in functionality.
