Here’s why you need to look out for the new Huawei Band 2 Pro

Sporting a built-in GPS, heart rate sensor and deep sleep-tracking capabilities among a host of other features, the Huawei Band 2 Pro is the latest budget band to look out for. The band sports a slender and sleek look, feels incredibly light and comes in 3 bold colours to choose from.

Its streamlined design aside, the wearable casts a wide net even in terms of features. With the device on, you can monitor your heart rate all day long, analyse the blood oxygen levels with the VO2 max and be guided while swimming, cycling, running and even breathing. The protruding heart rate sensor on the underside of the device evades the need to tighten the band and records the readings with ease.

With the Huawei Band 2 pro, not only do you get to track the basic fitness statistics like calories, distance and elevation but get more precise data, thanks to the built-in GPS that even allows you to map your tracks without depending on your phone. The Band 2 Pro also makes use of Huawei's TruSleep technology to put together some useful data that goes beyond the basics of sleep total/wake time. To be more precise, the device uses its accelerometer to detect movement and heart-rate sensor to determine the time spent in light and in deep and REM sleep, which together weave a detailed sleep analysis.

To make the user experience seamless, the wearable comes enabled with smart notifications. This feature comes in handy in everyday use as it doesn’t let any call or email go unnoticed. To add to the experience, the customizable interface allows you to change the order of the layout as per your wish, while the PMOLED display stays bright and readable even during daytime, orienting itself in portrait mode to make the text easier to read.

The affordable Huawei Band 2 caters to users with all sorts of lifestyles. It comes thoroughly packed with powerful sensors that deliver accurate workout and sleep analysis, and impressively so for a device of its proportions.
