Smartwatch or Smart Band? A question that has always haunted first time buyers. It’s important to understand key differences between the two on a wearable before you finally decide to settle on one.
Generally speaking, fitness trackers are more focused on health and activity monitoring than on smart notifications – their smaller screens aren’t as conducive to reading and replying to messages as the larger screens on watches.
Smartwatches are primarily an extension of the smart bands with a bigger screen that even lets you reject calls and other pluses over smart bands. But the smartwatches are usually pricier than the smart bands.
The fitness band market is dominated by brands like Xiaomi, Honor and even Fitbit. Xiaomi’s Mi Band 6 is a best seller. Honor bands are also credited for their accuracy. The Fitbit smart bands offer tons of features and are highly accurate but are costlier than the other two brands in the market.
However, with the latest introduction of devices like the Redmi Smart Band Pro, Honor Band 6, or Huawei Band 3, the differences between the smartwatches and smart bands have been blurred. The smartwatch are known to offer bigger screens and more features than the smartbands, but the Redmi Smart Band Pro, Honor Band 6 and Huawei Band 6 have been introduced to the market as fitness bands but have all the attributes of a smartwatch.
