OVERALL
So we wore it 24 hrs for a week and tested all the features it have. It has good feeling in the wrist and fits perfectly. We give it thumbs up especially the Huawei TruSleep and TruSeen features. We used it when swimming and it is really waterproof which I think a very good feature too especially if you love outdoor adventures. We wished it could have more variety of colors and the strap could have been better. Overall we recommend Huawei Band 4 as a good fitness tracker.
