Review of fitness bracelet Meizu H1 SmartBand

The Meizu H1 SmartBand fitness bracelet was presented on December 6, 2016 together with the Meilan Note 5 (Meizu M5 Note for the global market). The most impressive thing about the bracelet is its monolithic design. It is made as a whole, and the small light blue OLED display is integrated directly into the thermoplastic polyurethane strap. The strap is high quality and durable, and it should be, given that it is non-removable. It is fastened with a beautiful metal buckle with the company logo.

The Meizu H1 SmartBand vibrates during calls, messages, alarms and when disconnected from the phone. The display shows only minimal information – time, steps, calories and heart rate, as well as notifications for missed calls or text messages. Detailed statistics and analysis by days, weeks and months can be observed on the smartphone in the synchronization application, which is installed directly by scanning the QR code from the bracelet box. The application is compatible with Android and iOS. The connection of the bracelet is done for the first time by tapping on the small dot on the front.

The software displays detailed data on heart rate in static (manual measurement) and dynamic (24 hours) mode, phases and quality of sleep, step counter, calories burned. There is also a very useful sedentary reminder function – in a preset time range the bracelet vibrates and reminds us that we have been stagnant for a long time and need to move. The application can activate the option for the display to light up when you raise your hand, as well as to open the phone.

The rechargeable battery is charged via a cable that connects to the bracelet via a magnet. The battery has a sufficiently long autonomy. It can provide 15 days of standby in static heart rate mode and 7 days if the heart rate monitor is activated to work around the clock.

Meizu H1 SmartBand has a degree of dust and water resistance IP67 and can withstand immersion for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter.
