Huawei Band 2 Pro
Function
waterproof up to 165 feet?! very nice
continuous heart rate monitor/steps/activity tracking. so far, seems very accurate but haven't tested fully with other devices
gps! this is usually found in only more advanced smart watches or devices
It has lasted me already a week without recharging the battery
sleep tracking: extremely detailed analysis
sleep "smart alarm": will wake me before my set time when my body has moved into a "lighter" sleep cycle. I love this feature
sends me notifications of everything from my phone (customizable)
great partner app-- allows me to see the map of my run with changes in breathing and heart--very nice
app information syncing with google fit app allows me to use the stats in other other apps
negatives
if the gps function is continuously on, it says that the battery only lasts four hours -- I have only used the gps for a couple hours so far and my band has lasted over 5 days and it looks like my battery meter is about %50 full.
sometimes hard to read in sunlight
you must do all of the settings from the app on your phone (not from the band) I haven't found this to be a problem, but I like a band to be self-sufficient
Doesn't look like I can share the gps information with google maps/tracks...but if I can, I'll update this review
all in all it's a great device and I recommend it!
Samsung Gear Fit2
Function
So this is a fitness wearable. I am curious as to how not having a mic and speaker is a con?
It is a fitness tracker. That is all it does. It is not even designed to answer calls from your smartphone, which is why it doesn't have a speaker or mic.
Why would it need Samsung Pay support? Its a fitness tracker only. Do all wearables that support Google Wear, do they also support Android Pay? NO!
3-5 days of battery life is a con? It only tracks fitness. How much battery you think its gonna use.
It lasts 3 days by your own admission and that's dismal battery-life?
Then please enlighten us to what is better battery-life.
What fitness tracker with ALL THESE FEATURES last more than 3-5 days.
Your claim that 3 days is the absolute max is likely false.
How long ti last depends on what or how you use it
So lets see, if I swim on Monday for 2 hours, and just run on Tuesday for 2 hours and then workout at the GYM 3 hours on Wednesday, you are claiming it won't be avail to use Thurs or Fri unless I charge it first?
I don't believe that one bit. It will vary and you claim 3 days is the absolute max is simply like false. If Samsung is saying up to 5 days. then they got a consistent 5 days of usage in their tests which I will believe before any PA test

This phone performed well on all the tasks it was given. It an exceptional phone as Huawei have done a good job on this one and hooefully they continue this trend as it began with the Nexus 6P. The camera quality is good but not as good I expected
