Huawei Band 10 First Impressions: Sleek, Smart, and Surprisingly Capable

Huawei is back with its latest budget-friendly fitness tracker — the Huawei Band 10. Positioned as an affordable yet feature-packed smart band, the Band 10 brings a sleek design, health-focused sensors, and long battery life. Here’s our first impressions after going hands-on with the device.


🖥️ Design & Display: A Stylish, Lightweight Tracker

The Huawei Band 10 instantly impresses with its rectangular AMOLED display, housed in a slim and lightweight body. It features a 1.47-inch AMOLED screen with vivid colors, high brightness, and smooth touch response — a significant improvement over its predecessor.

  • Build: Plastic and metal combo with a soft silicone strap

  • Display Size: 1.47-inch AMOLED, 368 x 194 resolution

  • Weight: Under 30 grams (with strap)

The watch-like strap and minimalistic design make it ideal for all-day wear, whether at the gym or in office settings.


💡 Interface and Controls

The Band 10 supports touch gestures and a physical side button. The interface is snappy, intuitive, and feels similar to Huawei’s Watch Fit series — just compressed into a more compact tracker form.


🧘 Health & Fitness Features

Huawei continues to focus on fitness and wellness with an array of tracking options. Based on early use, here’s what it includes:

  • Heart Rate Monitoring (real-time, 24/7)

  • SpO2 Monitoring

  • Sleep Tracking with Huawei TruSleep™

  • Stress Tracking

  • Menstrual Cycle Tracking

  • 100+ Workout Modes

Initial readings for heart rate and sleep tracking appear accurate when compared to premium wearables.


🔋 Battery Life

One of the biggest strengths of the Band 10 is its battery life. Huawei promises up to 14 days on typical use and around 7 days with heavy usage, thanks to the low-power Kirin A1 chip and smart battery management.

Charging is done via a magnetic pogo-pin charger, and a full charge takes under 1.5 hours.


📶 Connectivity & App Support

The Band 10 connects via Bluetooth 5.3 and syncs with the Huawei Health App, which offers detailed graphs and settings customization. It works with both Android and iOS, although features may be more seamless on Huawei and Android devices.


🎯 First Impressions Verdict

The Huawei Band 10 brings an impressive feature set in a lightweight, affordable package. It delivers on the essentials — fitness tracking, notifications, sleep analysis — and does it with a premium look and a long-lasting battery.

If you’re looking for a budget fitness tracker under ₹5,000 that doesn’t cut corners, the Band 10 looks like a strong contender.
