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.

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.

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.

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 information displayed by Huawei bracelet on Android with Sports Health APP
## △ Abnormal prompts in the heart rate information of Xiaomi Sports Health APPThe 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.

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%.

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.
