Verdict

The Huawei Band 2 is an entry-level fitness tracker featuring a 0.91-inch monochrome PMOLED display and a robust 100mAh battery that can last up to 21 days on a single charge. It is equipped with a 3-axis accelerometer, an infrared wear sensor, and a PPG cardiotachometer for continuous heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking. Key pros include its 5 ATM water resistance (safe for swimming up to 50 meters), lightweight 21g design, and the inclusion of guided breathing exercises. However, notable cons include the lack of built-in GPS (available only on the Pro model), a screen that is difficult to read in direct sunlight, and a plastic display cover that is prone to scratching.
