Good deal – The Honor Band 7 “4 stars” connected watch at €40.30 (-19%)

The Band 7 is a fairly classic activity sensor, which relies heavily on its beautiful 1.47-inch Oled screen to seduce. Let’s see if the latest from Honor improves the winning recipe of its predecessor…

The Band 7 is a slight evolution of the Band 6 and gains, for example, Always-on Display mode. It retains the simplicity of use and the beautiful screen which were the strong points of the previous version, and ranks as excellent value for money among activity sensors.

Strong points

• Beautiful Amoled screen, large and readable.
• Available in four colors.
• Simple and intuitive handling.
• Complete app.
• Good autonomy.
• Price.

Weak points

• No ambient light sensor.
• Insufficient heart rate sensor accuracy for interval sessions.
• Always-on Display mode which seriously affects autonomy.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).

Alternatively

A small bracelet at a very reasonable price, the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 nonetheless offers practical features. Allowing you to keep an eye on your notifications and obtain fairly detailed monitoring of numerous sporting activities, it is certainly not as precise as specialized models in this area, but it fulfills its role very honorably. Compared to the Smart Band 7, it gains in elegance and provides even better autonomy. In short, good value for money.
