For fitness enthusiasts seeking a cost-effective and efficient wearable, the HUAWEI Band 10 might just be the perfect option. This latest addition to HUAWEI’s fitness lineup brings many of the features found in their more expensive smartwatches, packed into a lightweight and budget-friendly band.
Unlike the HUAWEI Watch or Watch Fit series, which offer more advanced smartwatch capabilities, the Band 10 focuses on simplicity and practicality while providing all the necessary tools to track your fitness and health. Whether you’re looking to monitor your workouts or sleep patterns, this band delivers a solid and feature-rich experience at an affordable price.
Premium Build and Design
The HUAWEI Band 10 boasts a sleek and premium design, made with an aluminum alloy case that’s milled using CNC diamond-cut technology, giving it a stylish, satin-like finish. The model we tested comes in a flagship green color with a gray titanium-alloy midframe, and the sporty open-hole strap is designed for better sweat resistance.
This fitness band weighs only 15 grams (for the aluminum alloy case) and has a slim profile of just 8.99mm thick, making it comfortable for all-day wear. Plus, you can easily swap the strap whenever you feel like changing the look, thanks to the simple release buttons on the back.
The Band 10 is also available in other color options, and the polycarbonate versions (available in black and pink) are slightly lighter, weighing 14 grams. Whether you prefer a premium or lightweight option, there’s a model to suit your style.
Vivid Display for Easy Interaction
The 1.47-inch AMOLED display on the HUAWEI Band 10 delivers vibrant colors and sharp visuals, making it easy to read even in direct sunlight. While it could benefit from a higher refresh rate (currently at 30Hz), the display performs well for everyday use. Additionally, you can choose from over 10,000 watch faces via the Huawei Health app, allowing you to customize the Band 10’s look and add quick-access widgets for your favorite features.
Although the Band 10 lacks an Always-On display, this isn’t a major drawback for most users. The display works seamlessly indoors and outdoors, ensuring that you can track your stats and notifications easily.
Comprehensive Health Monitoring
One of the Band 10’s standout features is its impressive health tracking capabilities, many of which are derived from HUAWEI’s higher-end devices like the Watch GT 5. The sleep tracking feature now uses HRV (Heart Rate Variability) to offer more accurate insights into your sleep patterns, considering factors like stress and alcohol consumption.
The device can also detect nap recognition with 97% accuracy and includes Sleep Apnea Risk Screening—helpful for spotting early signs of breathing issues during sleep. The Band 10 even introduces an emotional well-being assistant, which uses a cute panda icon to help you monitor mood and stress levels throughout the day.
Pulse-wave Arrhythmia Analysis is another noteworthy health feature, which can help detect irregular heartbeats and alert you to potential issues like A-fib. While this might not be crucial for most users under 40, it adds an extra layer of health awareness.
Along with the standard heart rate, blood oxygen, and cycle prediction features, the Band 10 covers a broad spectrum of health data, making it a solid option for those serious about monitoring their wellness.
Fitness Tracking and AI Features
For fitness lovers, the HUAWEI Band 10 also brings AI-powered fitness tracking. The band features advanced modes for swimming and indoor running, with AI tools that help optimize your posture and pace. The AI Swimming Posture Model boasts 97.9% accuracy in detecting your swimming form, ensuring you get the most out of each stroke. Similarly, the Indoor Running Mode uses AI to track and improve your running efficiency.
In addition, the Band 10 comes with over 100 workout modes built in, giving you a broad range of activities to choose from, whether you’re running, cycling, or swimming. The fitness data syncs seamlessly with the Huawei Health app, allowing you to track your progress and goals.
Additional Smart Features
Beyond health and fitness tracking, the HUAWEI Band 10 offers some smart features typically found in higher-end smartwatches. For example, it lets you control music and video playback from apps like Spotify and Netflix. You can also check the weather or locate your phone if it’s within range.
Although it doesn’t support answering calls directly from the watch, you can reject calls, send emoji responses, or use quick replies, all customizable through the Huawei Health app. Additionally, the GCash QR payments feature is rolling out, allowing users to make payments directly from the Band 10 (though this feature was not yet available on all units at the time of testing).
Long Battery Life for All-Day Use
One of the HUAWEI Band 10’s greatest strengths is its exceptional battery life. On a single charge, the device lasts up to 14 days with typical use, or 8 days under heavy usage. Even with just a 5-minute charge, you can get 2 days of use, making it one of the most efficient fitness bands in terms of battery longevity.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the HUAWEI Band 10 sets a new standard for fitness trackers in 2025. It combines a premium design, advanced health monitoring features, and AI-powered fitness tools in a lightweight, budget-friendly package. Whether you’re tracking workouts, sleep, or stress levels, this band offers impressive functionality at an affordable price.
