My first Fitbit was a Garmin given to me as a present four years ago, but recently it began to show signs of wear and sometimes I had difficulty charging it, so I began my search for a replacement. The description and capabilities of this Huawei Band 9 Smart Watch on thinkassemble.co.uk seemed to have what I was looking for – not too complicated for a ‘silver surfer,’ but with emphasis on general health rather than having a personal trainer strapped to my wrist..! I had no need to use the watch for sending messages or talking to Alexa as my iPhone is quite capable of doing that. The Huawei Band 9, once paired to my iPhone, does receive messages but is unable to reply. I wanted a rectangular-shaped watch face with a good battery life that monitored my general health. Essentials were a step count, sleep management, heart rate and SpO2 levels and importantly, didn’t take long to charge. Additionally, I required it to ‘pair’ with my iPhone which it did very easily as I needed to download the Huawei Health app. All appears to be working well. There are 100 other training modes, but I doubt I’ll be using many of them..! The watch is very comfortable to wear. The face can be programmed to be on permanently or as I prefer, set default to off but will illuminate with a tap, or wrist movement. The side button operates other functions, and you can scroll across or up and down the face to see many more.The software comes with a choice of free digital or analogue watch faces (see photos), and you can download many more at a cost between £1.99 – £4.99 each.For what I wanted the Huawei Band 9 is giving me exactly what I was looking for and I can therefore recommend it.Update 14 July 2025. A couple of days ago I put the watch on charge but nothing happened. On the screen I would expect to see the charge number increasing. All I saw briefly on the screen was ‘extremely low battery charge’. After a couple of minutes to think why the watch was not charging I had a look at the back of the watch and noticed ‘muck’ (presumably flakes of skin) on the charging terminals. I removed the ‘muck’ and hey presto the watch charged normally.

I bought this to replace another smart watch which didn’t perform as advertised. It is small and downloading the correct app is tricky but seems to be good. I’m still finding my way around but controlling the watch faces etc seems very easy.I mainly bought this for advertised workout functions. I couldn’t find them initially and was on the point of sending it back and then found when on the clock screen, press the side button again and the workout option appears, phew! Would have nice if this was in the app 😡.It has all the gym workouts both cardiovascular and strength. I’ve yet to test the validity of any of these.Update. Having used this for a few weeks, I am very happy with this smart watch. The app measures my workouts in amazing detail monitoring my heart rate, BP and even stride length (?). It’s very easy to use and the battery seems to last forever. I’ve not used the sleep function but all other functions work very well. Highly recommended.

I have to say, the Huawei Band 9 has completely exceeded my expectations! For the price, this little band packs a serious punch. The sensors are incredibly accurate – I’ve compared them to both Google and Apple devices, and the readings have been spot on. It’s small and lightweight, to the point where you hardly even notice you’re wearing it, which is exactly what I was looking for.The Huawei Health app is another standout. It’s packed with features that would usually require a paid subscription on other devices, making this an even better deal. From heart rate monitoring to sleep tracking, everything is well-integrated and easy to use.I’ve been using the band constantly for heart rate tracking, sleep monitoring, SpO2 levels, and even calm breathing assistance. I charged it last Wednesday, and today is Tuesday – it’s still at 40%! The battery life is absolutely fantastic.I’ve had great experiences with Huawei products in the past, and the Band 9 is no exception. If you’re considering something like a Fitbit or another small band, I honestly can’t recommend this enough. It’s top-notch quality and offers excellent value for money. Definitely worth checking out!

I wanted an inexpensive smartwatch but one from one of the established brands. My needs were purely to keep track of my steps for my walks and to measure my heart rate.This nifty little watch (I chose the Velcro strap as I find that more comfy) does these things and much more. It measures O2 and also somehow one’s stress levels. It reminds you to get up and move and also gives you instructions for breathing exercises.Those who can sleep with watches on their wrists will appreciate the sleep monitor – I did this for a few nights and it was fascinating to see when and got how long I had light sleep, deep sleep and REM sleep. It all seemed quite accurate too or at least very plausible (how would I know if I was asleep) But I’ve not used that since as I don’t really like wearing watches to sleep.It has a torch function – brilliant on my recent flight – turned it on very easily to help me root around for things in the dark and yet not so bright as to disturb neighbours (it can be adjusted).It has tons of free watch faces, so you can customise easily. The watch has a ton more features which I haven’t really gone into. The user interface is simple and intuitive. Oh and pairing with my iPhone was easy peasy!And best of all – the battery charge longerivity is phenomenal! Lasts easily a week at least on a single charge – don’t know exactly how long is needed but I only left my phone on charge for a couple of hours before using it again.All this for under £50!!

Quality watch
My second watch from this brand had the 4 ,this one even better, recommend

EXCELENTE. MUCHÍSIMO mejor que el Garmin que tenía.
Mide todo meticulosamente y la app te da muchas opciones para evaluar tu estado.Mide la calidad de sueño muy bien, mide cuanto duermes, que tan seguido te despertó el gato, que tan seguido tuviste horas de descanso profundo, que tan seguido estuviste en sueño REM, como fue tu ritmo respiratorio, si tuviste fluctuaciones de oxigenación y si tuviste algún problema con detalles y gráficas de varios tipos para ilustrar como fue tu calidad de descanso cada noche. MUY preciso, empecé a tomar Melatonina y té para dormir mejor y lo ví reflejado en los gráficos cada día. Un mes después me dió una valoración que que tanto mejoré mi descanso en ese periodo de tiempo. Estoy absolutamente satisfecho.Además, por si fuera poco tiene un grupo de sensores en la base que mide tu oxigenación y puede correr un diagnóstico para arritmias cardíacas.Estoy absolutamente satisfecho con el producto. Lo recomiendo plenamente.10/10
