The watch is nice, thin and lite. The software is nice and simple and doesn’t have any unnecessary things. Has simple stuff like heart rate tracking, sleep, blood oxygen and a couple other things. Has some nice looking wacth faces and some nice looking paid ones too.

Everything I expect from a newer more expensive model. My previous model was the Pro 2 which lasted for nearly 4years.
happy 😊 so far!

This is feature packed and a really good product for the price . I bought it for my son who’s 12. fits his wrist nicely and looks in proportion. I’d buy one for myself if I loose my band 4 pro . Battery life and screen background options, water proof etc I’d definitely recommend

I only use this to tell the time and count my steps. It does both of these things very well. I have turned off all other things like heart rate and sleep rate and the battery is very impressive. I’ve worn this every day for a week and it still have over 50% battery! (I take it off and turn it off at night)
All this why I have the screen brightness at 4 out if 5. This is really good even when out in the sun. On very hot and bright days I might put this in 5/5 but it’s definitely bright enough in all scenarios. Very happy.
Step counter seems to be accurate enough for something like me who just wants to reach 10,000 steps per day. A lot more accurate than the very cheap alternatives I have tried.

This review is written after 1 month of watch ownership and it is not a paid review. I have bought the watch with my own money (£37 with some discount available at the time of purchase) and I wanted to write an honest review such that it may help someone, as this was my first smart watch and I was struggling to find out details.
Screen Size: The height is ok but I would have preferred a slightly wider screen. Unless you have perfect vision, you might struggle to see all info at first glance.
Screen Face: There are a lot of free screen faces you can choose to download using the linked app. If you choose the watch face to display everything in one screen, the size of info displayed becomes a little harder to read. You cannot use a photo for the watch background.
Fitting: It is pretty good fit for men wrists. Also fits well for women.
Built Quality: For the price its actually pretty good quality. Although it is fairly light, it does not feel cheap and the screen is very responsive and has never hung up, throughout 1 month usage. The strap is nice and soft and flexible (not a rigid plastic).
Main Features: Time, weather, steps, sleep monitor, find your phone, stopwatch, timer, torch, alarm, stress, heart beat, blood oxygen level and a good range of 60+ sporting activity measurements. If configured, Phone app notifications can be replicated in the watch. Messages can be viewed (as they arrive) and very short pre-written replies (yes, no, okay etc and some smilies) can be sent without looking at the phone. You can’t change the pre-written message replies. For phone calls, it alerts you (by vibrating) for an incoming call. You can only reject the call from the watch and there is an option to send a quick call decline message. If you want to answer the call, you will have to use your phone. There is no functionality to answer a phone call using the watch. There is no blood pressure measurement in this watch. All notifications & alerts are by watch vibration. Watch has no sound. There is also not GPS in the watch. To see the watch features and monitor various aspects you have to download the specific app, which is free and has good features. See screen shots of the app.
Battery Life: This is the main reason for 4 stars instead of 5. When you have none of the features activated, you can expect longer battery life, but with all of the above features activated the battery life is less than 5 days. This is still very good battery life, but not quite the 2 weeks it is advertised for light use and 10 days for heavy use. But compared to the “famous brands” it last at least 3 times longer with everything activated.
Charging: The charging port is magnetic and very good quality. Charging time is super fast. You can definitely get more than 50% in less than 30 min. Always 100% charge in about 45 to 50 min which is very good.
I have not used the watch to monitor any sporting or physical activity as of yet. But there is quite a large range of in&outdoor sporting activities you can measure.
Overall I think it is a good starting level watch, with pretty much all the functionality of an expensive watch. The screen size is only a tad narrow but still reasonable. Battery life is not 2 weeks but 5 days is still really good. I think it is of reasonable quality and will last me probably more than 3/4 years, which is okay as I treat my watches as consumables. We bought 2. My wife likes the red colour and pretty much has the same opinion as above. Additionally she likes the incoming call alert vibrating, as she doesn’t always hear the phone ringing if out and about.
Jump on to the HUAWEI website and you will see other options you might want to consider for the prices you have in mind. After using this smart watch I have come to realise that HUAWEI is a half decent brand and I would rather go for this instead of a complete unknown brand. Hopefully this review is of some use to you !
Edit 2Feb2023: When used on treadmill (if your amrs are not moving ie you’ve grabbed the hand rails) it does not detect steps. You can however have your phone in your pocket which will detect steps. Then the overall steps from all sources can be viewed in the app.

Nice product
by Dylan Paterson
I was looking for a fitness tracker to measure and motivate me in my hiking. I didn’t want to spend a fortune but also didn’t want to get a random cheap brand. And so I plumped for the Huawei Band 7.
Out of the box, it feels very well made; looks kind of premium. The amoled screen is outstanding and adds to the ‘more expensive’ feel of the watch. It also makes reading information very clear and easy. The strap has given me no issues and is very comfy.
I tested it properly on a ten-mile hike yesterday. I also had measured the route beforehand and the tracking (set by me as miles) was very accurate. The watch has numerous ‘workouts’ to select for your activity. I used ‘outdoor walk’. This was on for 3.5 hours and measured my heart, calories burnt off, step and miles. It helpfully keeps the clock time on the same screen. Nice feature. Each mile I completed the watch buzzed and flashed up a message. I don’t know if other trackers do this, but it was very useful and motivating for me.
If you want to save battery power on your phone, you can untether the Bluetooth to the watch and also close the Huawei app. The watch continues to measure your workout. When you switch the app and Bluetooth on later, it syncs and collects all your data. The app then produces a useful stats report to look at. I found this insightful.
Issues?
The only issue I’ve had is I can’t, despite all efforts, get the Band 7 to display message notifications from my iPhone 12 Pro. I’ve selected everything and double-checked. It only sends me ‘other alerts’ for things like BBC news alerts. It’s a bit annoying; however I really bought the watch for my hiking and for that it (so far) gets full marks!! I switched off all notifications by the way.
Also the Huawei app is okay but rather clunky. You have to be patient with it.
A final note is that the battery is fantastic. I’ve charged it only once since setting it up a few days ago. It’s still on 70%!!!
Watch recommended if you need a good value fitness tracker with a premium feel.
UPDATE – 07.01.23
I can now receive all notifications to my iPhone 12 Pro from the Band 7. I realised that I had ‘show preview’ switched off on my iPhone for iMessage and WhatsApp. I realised that if you do this, you won’t see any notifications for these apps on the Band 7 as it needs to actually show the message content. So even if you have enabled message notifications everywhere, just make sure ‘show preview’ is switched on for the app on your phone.
