This time we chose the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition and Xiaomi Band 7 standard version for comparison. Both products were purchased brand new. There are several reasons why the NFC version was not chosen: First, according to the official description, the NFC access card function of the two bracelets cannot be used on iOS devices. Secondly, the current support for NFC by bracelets has not been popularized, and the usage scenarios are still subject to certain restrictions. Furthermore, most smartphones are already equipped with NFC functions, resulting in a certain overlap in the NFC functions of smart bracelets. Therefore, this comparison focuses on the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition and the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition.

Appearance & Wearing:

After removing the outer packaging of Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition and Xiaomi Band 7 Standard Edition, the contents are the bracelet body, charging cable, and instructions, all included. The content is very consistent.

In terms of appearance, the difference between the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition and the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition is very obvious. The Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition is square. The outer design is similar to that of an oval, while the standard version of Xiaomi Mi Band 7 is similar to an oval design.

According to official data, the screen size of the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition is 1.62 inches (screen diagonal length), and the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition Screen size is 1.47 inches (screen diagonal length). Due to the longer diagonal of the screen of the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 standard version, although the parameters indicate that the screen size is larger, there is actually no obvious gap. Although both the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition and the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition have undergone certain frame narrowing, due to cost and process constraints, the frame issues are still quite obvious. Both bracelets have a larger lower border. If the user changes the light-colored wallpaper, the border will appear more obvious.

In terms of appearance details, the appearance of the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition still continues from previous generations. The style of the product is relatively rounded in overall appearance and tends to be youthful and sporty.

The Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition has a more square overall appearance, and the outer casing has also been frosted and painted, giving it a better appearance and texture. The Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition also has a button on the right side of the band, which can also be used for operations.

Both appearances have their own characteristics, but from a comprehensive appearance perspective, the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition will be more textured.

Most of the current smart bracelets or smart watches use photoelectric sensors to monitor and record heart rate, blood oxygen and other data. The Apple Watch, the benchmark in the field of smart wear, is no exception. Therefore, these smart wearable products basically have certain designs in the parts that come into contact with the human body to make the sensors fit more closely to the skin.

△The devices are: Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition, Apple Watch 6, Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition

Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Because the standard version has a long oval appearance and a small area of ​​contact with the hand, the photoelectric sensor is made to have a certain bulge, which will have a certain impact on the wearing comfort. Wearing it too tight will also leave marks. .

Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition Because the shape of the band itself has a certain curvature, the contact area between the band and the hand is larger, and the fit is better than the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition. Therefore, The photoelectric sensor contact area does not have a high bulge, and the wearing comfort is better than the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 standard version, and there will be no imprinting problems caused by wearing it too tight.

△Huawei Band 7 and Xiaomi Band 7

Therefore, considering the impact of the photoelectric sensor position on user comfort, Huawei Band 7 The standard version of Ring 7 will be more comfortable.

In terms of wearing the bracelet, the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition is similar to a traditional watch. It uses a buckle-type wrist strap that requires the user to hang it. The Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition uses a buckle-type wristband. To wear, just press it on and you can wear it. The two products are basically the same in terms of wearing convenience.

Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition and Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition both use magnetic charging, which can be charged magnetically without removing the band body. Charge.

Generally speaking, the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition has better control over the photoelectric sensor fitting area than the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition, so I think it is more comfortable to wear.

This actual experience will focus on the supporting APP, bracelet-related settings, message notifications, functions, sports and health, etc.

Differences in supporting APPs:

Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition can be connected using the Huawei Sports Health APP on Android and iOS platforms, and can be further installed on Android models. Heart Health Research is an app to view more detailed heart health data.

Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition can be connected and interacted on Android and iOS platforms by installing the Xiaomi Sports Health APP, or you can use ZeepLife (formerly Xiaomi Sports), an APP launched by Huami, for connection and use . This time, the author mainly uses the Xiaomi Sports and Health APP officially launched by Xiaomi. In some differences, I will talk about the differences in content supported by the two APPs.

In terms of the convenience of setting up the two bracelets, most of the settings for the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition need to be completed within the bracelet. It is not as intuitive to use as the APP settings. For example, the brightness of the bracelet automatically decreases at night. Functions, vibration intensity adjustment, etc. all need to be set on the bracelet, which is relatively inconvenient. Most of the settings of the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition can be set through the APP, and most of the setting options are retained on the band, making the settings more convenient.

Both products support turning on the screen display function, but it is worth noting that the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition automatically turns off when the battery power drops below 20%. The screen display function is used to save power, and the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 standard version will not have a similar situation. Both strategies have their own advantages and disadvantages, and users can choose according to their needs.

Bracelet message notification function:

A very important function integrated into the smart wearable products at this stage is the message notification function, which can update the messages received on the mobile phone. Quick display makes it easy for users to understand.

Both Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition and Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition support the message reminder function of various APPs. When used with Android, Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition and Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition Both need to open permissions for their respective supporting APPs, allowing them to read notifications in the system and keep the background permanent. After opening a new one, both bracelets can read messages from the APPs in the mobile phone, and can choose to go to the corresponding APP. Each APP sets the read switch.

On the iOS side, the message reading of the two bracelets depends on their respective adaptations. After the two bracelets are paired, enable the system message sharing of the iOS device to accept messages from the APP on the iOS device. Push information. Among them, the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition can individually turn on and off the notification receiving APPs: QQ, WeChat, and SMS. In addition, other APPs can only be turned on or off.

In addition, other APPs and Huawei Band 7 Standard Version is the same, including turning everything on or off in the entire other categories.

Compared with the APP notification reception function of the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition, the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition has more APPs that can be received individually, and it supports sensing as soon as the screen is turned on. Better experience in receiving notification reminders.

Considering from the perspective of message notifications, the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition can be turned on and off independently to receive more APPs, and there are also icons displayed on the band, which is more Intuitive. The Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition has greater advantages in text content, but generally speaking, in terms of receiving message notifications. Xiaomi Mi Band 7 standard version is still better.

Bracelet functions:

The bracelet also assumes some lighter functions at this stage, which can make users more comfortable to use. For example, offline payment, music control and other functions of smart wearable devices.

Sports and health functions:

Many consumers will pay more attention to the sports and health functions when purchasing smart wearable devices. The author also A wave of actual use was carried out.

Both bracelets support breathing training, all-day heart rate monitoring, sleep monitoring, and all-day stress monitoring. A series of functions such as all-day blood oxygen monitoring. It is worth noting that when this part of the all-day monitoring function is turned on, it will increase the power consumption of the device.

The all-day pressure monitoring function of both bracelets supports reminders during times of high pressure to help users calm down. The Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition further supports pressure calibration and testing on the APP. .

By monitoring heartbeats, users can also more clearly perceive their physical condition.

For example, the author has recently experienced discomfort in his respiratory system, which caused some physiological sinus arrhythmia. The two bracelets also recorded it and provided corresponding early warning reminders, which has certain reference. effect. However, it should be noted that these two products are not medical devices. If you feel unwell, remember to seek medical treatment in time!

## △ Abnormal prompts in the heart rate information of Xiaomi Sports Health APP

The author also compared the heart rate monitoring data with the current benchmark product in the smart wear field-the Apple Watch that has obtained FDA certification. The results can be seen in the picture below. I think the heart rate monitoring functions of these two devices have performed very well.

# Regarding the recording of sports functions, both bracelets support the recording of a variety of sports, among which the ones that can be set to automatically identify and record are walking/health walking. , running, elliptical machine, rowing machine four sports. The author also further verified the motion recognition and recording capabilities of these two products through multiple actual fast walks.

The author took eight walks of about 15 minutes. Among the eight walks, the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition completed 5 records, and the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition completed 4 records. Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition will ask whether to record within a period of time after the exercise starts. Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition will ask whether to record after detecting that the user has been exercising for a period of time. If the user clicks to confirm, it will Activities previously judged as exercise were recorded together. Overall, there is not much difference in the final results given by the two regarding exercise duration, but they have certain requirements for exercise posture, so there will be situations where several walks are not recorded.

The author also walked several times to see the difference in the number of steps recorded by the two bracelets. From the data comparison, we can see that both bracelets are consistent with the actual number of steps. There are some deviations in the number of steps, but the author believes that as these two inexpensive smart wearable devices, it is sufficient for daily exercise reference.

Finally, let’s talk about the issue of battery life. Due to the size limitations of smart bracelets at this stage, when more monitoring functions are turned on, it will inevitably Due to the decrease in battery life, the author adopted a very heavy usage scenario and tested it with the screen display, motion recognition, all health monitoring functions turned on, and 150 notifications per day. Both bracelets are fully charged. After 30 hours of use, the remaining power of the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition is 53%, and the remaining power of the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition is 62%. After 48 hours of use, the remaining power of the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition is 29%, and the remaining power of the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition is 36%. The Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition will turn off the screen display when the power is less than 20%. After the final 72 hours of heavy use, the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition has 12% remaining power, and the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition has a remaining power of 9 %. I think this battery life score is quite good. If you cancel the use of some functions, the corresponding battery life can be extended. For most users, there is no pressure to use it for a few days.

To summarize:

From the perspective of actual use, the author believes that these two products already have a very high degree of completion. Specifically, the biggest differences between the two bracelets are: 1. In terms of wearing and appearance: Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition is more business-oriented, more comfortable to wear, and has more dials to choose from. 2.

In terms of functionality and settings, the Xiaomi Mi Band 7 Standard Edition has more functions than the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition, and the function settings are also more intuitive.

For Android device users, I think both models are good choices, but the Huawei Band 7 Standard Edition is better in terms of supporting APP and wearing comfort. Due to the closed nature of iOS devices, you can choose after comprehensive selection.
