On an aesthetic level, we find a model that boasts a traditional design, although in this type of device the truth is that we can expect little news. In this way, the Huawei Band 7 is almost identical to its predecessor, with that aspect that reminiscent of Apple’s Apple Watch, albeit with a more rectangular screen.
As for the technical characteristics, we will start by talking about the screen of the Huawei Band 7, made up of a 1.47-inch 368 x 194 pixel AMOLED panel to provide the best image quality.

To this we must add all kinds of sensors to monitor every last step you take. For example, boast a heart rate sensor with 24 hour trackings, blood oxygen level monitor (SpO2)NFC for mobile payments, although it dispenses with GPS to cut as much as possible and offer a product at a moderate price.
Note that this activity bracelet is capable of monitoring up to 96 different sports activities, in addition to having True Sleep 2.0the manufacturer’s technology to track sleep and control stress levels.
How could it be otherwise in a wearable with these characteristicsthe Huawei Band 7 is waterproof, in addition to offering autonomy of up to 14 days on a single charge. And beware, this model has a fast charge so that, in just 5 minutes, you have a battery for two days.
