If you’re someone that is looking for an affordable wearable that can help track your health and fitness, the HUAWEI Band 10 is probably the device that should be in your buying list. It has design, ergonomics, health tracking and other features that easily make your decision to choose as your health and fitness tracking assistance.
Let’s go deeper on the HUAWEI Band 10 in Malaysia at below.
Design
According to HUAWEI, the new Band 10 now uses an aluminium alloy case, polished by CNC drilling and cutting processes. However, a check on the official site, only the black and pink model is using a durable polymer case as the other rest of the colours (Matte Black, White, Green, Blue, and Purple) uses aluminium alloy case. The body of the Band 10 has just a thickness of 8.99 mm and weigh at 15g, making it comfortable for long period of wear. The body is also able to withstand up to 50 m water resistance. The sensor on the back of the body is not too protruding, which adds comfiness for long period of usage and during workout session.
The Fluoroelastomer strap is quite flexible, easy to lock and comfortable, but only felt slightly small for my liking. The strap is also easy to remove and attach, thanks to its one button to eject the strap and easy strap re-attach.
The body also has a single physical button, which offer tactile feedback despite the material feeling plastic.
Display
The HUAWEI Band 10 sports a 1.47 inch AMOLED, which goes quite bright and under sunny day, you still can glance on the screen with full brightness. The touchscreen response is fairly accurate and the colours are vivid on the display.
Features and Connectivity
The HUAWEI Band 10 comes with variety features such as New Sleep Metrics, Emotional wellbeing app, Pulse Wave Arrhythmia, Heart Rate and SpO2, Stress Management, Women Health features, Health Records, 100 Workout modes, and Ultra-Accurate Swimming Data (95% accuracy guaranteed*). I won’t dare to comment on the accuracy of the tracking, but users get to gauge with the records to plan their route to maintain or improve their fitness.
I didn’t tried the New Sleep Metrics as I always remove wearables when I slumber. But I did try out the heart rate and step tracking, which I felt is fairly good to know record, but again, no comment on the accuracy.
But the good thing with HUAWEI’s wearable is ability to seamlessly connect with Android and iOS device. My Android device is quick to pair with Band 10 via the HUAWEI Health app. It has been smooth sailing since day 1. I also get my vital notification alerts such upcoming events and messages.
Battery
HUAWEI is advertising the Band 10 requires 45 minutes to full charge, which is quite true as I leave it around an hour it is fully charged. For normal usage, HUAWEI claimed it can last around up to 8 days of battery life, which is agreeable. I only charge once (on 7 March 2025), and it still remained 60% (as of 17 March 2025). If you don’t wear it often, you can anticipate up to 14 days battery life. If you’re going to use AOD, it will last up to 3-day battery life.
Verdict
With the starting price of RM189, it’s hard to look away with what HUAWEI Band 10 is offering to the users, affordable wearable to keep track on fitness and health. The open ecosystem to support Android and iOS is also crucial as the brand can tap other users to explore HUAWEI’s product.
If you require a band that can do sleep, Heart Rate, SpO2 and fitness tracking, the Band 10 is an absolute no-brainer to get one because of its asking price. Recommended for those who has a budget of RM200 for wearables, health cautious, and active users. Put it in your buying list for sure!
For ratings, I give a solid 8 out of 10, thanks to the affordability and wellness features packed. Of course, there is some minor setback such as smaller strap for guys with large hands, lack of making calls and others, it still leverage back with great health and fitness tracking, long battery life and comfort for long period of wear.
