The Huawei Band 8 is a state-of-the-art activity tracker wristband equipped with an impressive AMOLED display. With a screen diagonal of 3.73 cm (1.47 inches) and a resolution of 194 x 368 pixels, the display is crystal clear and sharp. It features an optical heart rate sensor that allows for accurate real-time measurements. This enables users to easily monitor their heart rate during workouts or throughout the day. The device has a battery life of up to 14 days, which should be sufficient for most users. Weighing only 14 g, the Huawei Band 8 is a very lightweight device. Despite its small size and low weight, the device is robust and durable enough to withstand the demands of daily use.
