Huawei got the design close to perfection with the Band 6, improved it with the Band 7…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Disclaimer<\/h2>\n

I’m here only<\/em> comparing the wearability design<\/strong> of Huawei’s different band models.<\/p>\n

In this I have completely omitted whether it is wise to buy a Huawei device in the first place security-wise. Remember that many western governments shun Huawei in their networks, so you should first consider if you really<\/em> want Huawei to handle your health, notification and call data…<\/p>\n

Design<\/h2>\n

Here some advertising-images of the 6-8 first (sorry have not found official image of the 6 in full profile)<\/p>\n

And leaked images from here<\/a> for the Band 9<\/p>\n

Do not get confused by the band attachments for the band 9, they are just adapters, also available for 7 and 8.<\/p>\n

Here the 9 in white, with comparable rubber band.<\/p>\n

\nADD, for 10<\/em>:
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I do got my own full-profile image of a Band 6 though. To the left in this (to the right is one branded as Honor). From a compare here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The 6 and 7 got really good human-friendly wearable design, almost as pleasant as a pebble in the hand, and they then decided to mess that up with sharp edges and pill-box ‘design’ with the 8, and are repeating the fault with 9…<\/p>\n

I simply do not understand the urge\/fashion in some places to mess things up when they already got it right, just for the purpose of change….. (Microsoft do that all the time…)<\/p>\n

Have these people never worn a watch? Or is it a matter of sharp edges\/corners being more vulnerable and easier to break so Huawei increases the chance of the user needing to buy a new one?<\/p>\n

The 8, 9 and 10 should have MUCH better features than the 7 for anyone to even consider<\/em> buying them over the 7 – if the 7 can still be found….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the above images the 6 and 7 looks very much the same when used with rubber bands. but have a look at this<\/a> post for 6 vs 7, including the important change in having the band attachment going into<\/em> the case from Band 7)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Verdict<\/h2>\n

The Huawei Band 7 <\/strong>seems to be the best of all band designs<\/strong> to date, even compared to their competitors, afaik.<\/p>\n

My personal favourite for a smart wrist-device design-wise is currently the wider and watch like T8 Mini<\/a><\/del>, (later H06<\/a><\/strong><\/em>) but that is another story for that post….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
