The Best Health Tracker is Huawei Band 6


Huawei Band 6 has 96 sports modes vs 10 for Honor Band 6.
Huawei Band 6 has continuous Oxygen monitoring vs none for Honor Band 6.

Xiaomi Mi Band 6 has caught up with Honor Band 6 with reputed continuous Oxygen monitoring, but I am not sure, it cannot beat the larger screen size and battery for Honor Band 6.

Review of North Edge NL02 Smart Bracelet

 
I bought the North Edge NL02 Smart Bracelet from North Edge official seller at Shopee and Lazada. The NL03 is a more advanced version with a different app, Ffit.

Compared with my Honor Band 5, NL02 is much bigger but has larger characters. NL02 has a magnetic charger and you can switch it off easily by going to the settings. It has Blood pressure, Blood oxygen  and Sleep monitoring, and the readings appear reasonable. Honor Band 5 has detailed sleep readings including naps. I trust Honor more than North Edge. Honor Band does not have pressure measurement but these readings cannot be trusted. Better use the resting heart beat. The Blood oxygen reading is always at 99%.

I tried to compare Honor Oxymeter with NL02 by holding my breath for 2 mintes. Honor reported 90% but NL02 reported 98%. The good news is that NL02 managed to record a drop in blood oxygen level. But it may take 50% before NL02 shows 95%, so be careful if there is a slight drop in Blood oxygen level shown by NL02.

These Blood oxygen and Blood pressure functions are accessed via the apps, not measured directly so are not accurate.

The Sleep measurements of the Z02 are shown below. Notice how similar is the total time of night sleep with Honor.

It has alternative watch faces and even a custom one from Fial-market in the Device sun-menu.
