Apart from selling smartphones and tablets, honor Malaysia is bringing its first wearable device very soon. They have been posting teasers of the honor band, and it’s a sign that it shouldn’t take too long for it to get here. After its global naming contest, the band is now called the honor band z1, instead of its “honor band zero” name for the Chinese market.
To recap, the honor band z1 is an affordable circular smartwatch that comes with a black and white OLED display. It is thinner than most smartwatches and it can last 3 days on a single charge. With a metallic frame and a rubber sports band, the band z1 is also water and dust resistant with IP68 rating.
There are no physical buttons and the band is operated from its touch sensitive display. Compared to other smartwatches, the features are quite basic but it still offers fitness tracking capabilities including activity and sleep monitoring. Apart from being able to tell the time, it can be used for notification alerts for your calls, SMS and email.
When it was announced for the European market, the band is priced at 79 Euros, which is about RM380. Hopefully, it is priced cheaper here, making it one of the most affordable smart watches you can buy. In case you missed it, you can check out our first impressions over here.
