I will also go through all of its features: options, settings, etc. To give you detailed information that how you can use every single feature that you got on the Huawei band 6, but before we start, if you have not subscribed to this channel till now, then hit the subscribe button and the bell icon as well to get the notification for future uploads. So here is my Huawei band 6. First, let's switch it on, and now you will have to select the language. So I am going to select the English after that in the next stage, it will ask you to download the Huawei health application on your smartphone.

So if you got an android, smartphone or an iPhone, you can download this app from the respective app store and if you got a Huawei smartphone like the one I got here, then you will find it pre-installed on it. So what you have to do, after installing the Huawei health application make sure that the Bluetooth and the location as well is turned on your smartphone after that launch the Huawei health application, depending on whether you got an iPhone or android, the user interface will be a bit of change, but basic features are exactly same. So what you have to do? You need to go to the devices section here, just tap on this. After that you will get this page where you will find the option to add another device, so either you can tap on this add button here or you can tap at this top right corner, and you will find two options scan and add. So you can use any of these just tap on add here after that it will start searching for any Huawei variable or honor variable device, and if you would like to add the Huawei bank 6 manually, then you can tap on add button here.

After that, you can go to the smart band section just tap on this, and here you will find Huawei bank series tap on this, and then it will give you the option to pair and configure your wobbly bank 6 with your AWA health application, or you can just use the scan feature as well. So now just tap on this link button here after that, you might get this notification if you are having another Huawei or honor smartwatch. That is connected with your Huawei health application and if not, you won't get this message. So I'm just going to tap on ok, and you can see that the connection process is started. It will ask for the Bluetooth message: syncing just tap on allow and on your Huawei band 6.

You will get the option to approve or reject the pairing process, so just approve it by tapping on the tick mark, and you can see that the pairing is successful and now there is a watch face appearing on the Huawei band 6 here and now. If we have a look on the Huawei health application, so you can see that we are getting some options here. First, one is the auto download update package over Wi-Fi, and second one is auto update so, depending on your preference, whether you would like the software updates to be downloaded and installed automatically on your Huawei band 6, you can select them or you can leave them unchecked as well. I will also make a separate video showing how you can update the software of your Huawei band, 6 that you can watch later on this channel, so I'm just going to leave it here and tap on done after that. Once again, you will get this pop-up window that you need to give the permission to allow the Huawei health application to send and view SMS messages, and this is an important permission, because then only you will be able to get the notification for SMS on your Huawei band, 6, so just type in allow, after that, it will show you that, at what distance, you should wear the wave band fix on your wrist, so just tap on.

Ok- and here we go- the setup is done. You can see that the device is connected with this smartphone. The battery percentage is 83, they start regarding the steps, calories, burn, distance, walk, etc. All of them are zero because we just started using it. If you scroll down here, you will find a section called watch faces.

So using this, you can install some additional watch faces on your Huawei band.6, I'm going to make a separate video, in which I will show in detail that how you can install new watch faces on your Huawei band 6, because the process itself is a bit lengthy and if you go down, we will find some new options. So the first one is health monitoring. If you tap on this here, you will find few options, so the first one is wow true slip and by default this is enabled, if you tap here, it will give you the option to turn off the Huawei true slip, and here you can see what exactly it does. So it monitors your sleep quality and breathing patterns in real time, and then it analyzes your sleeping pattern and provides more than 200 personalized sleep quality assessment based on the accurate diagnosis of six different types of sleeping problems. So, since you are using a fitness tracker, it makes sense to keep this feature turned on your Huawei band 6.

If you go back from here, the next one is the activity reminder here. You can see that what exactly it does it will give you a reminder every time when you have been inactive physically for over and over. So once again, this is a nice feature, and you must keep it on as it is by default. After that, the next one record is continuous heart rate monitoring. By default,.

All of these features they are enabled. If I go to continuous heart rate monitoring, we will get the option to turn it off, and then we got the options to receive the alerts on our Huawei bank 6 if the heart rate goes high or low from a predefined heart rate, so by default for high heart rate, it's 120 and low heart rate. It's 40 ppm. If you tap on any of them, you will get the option to either disable it. If you do not want to get any high heart rate or low heart rate notification, or you can select the high heart rate based on your preference, it goes from 100 to 150 and for low heart rate.

It goes between 50 and 40. So if you have any heart condition- and you want to utilize this feature- so this is a very useful one that you can use on Huawei band 6. After that. The next one is automatic stress test by default. This one is also enabled- and as you can see, that it analyzes your stress based on the fluctuation in your heart rate, so it categorizes the stress level from relaxed to high between these predefined range.

That goes from 1 to 99. So once again, this is a nice feature to monitor your stress level and then work on it. After that, the next one is SP, o2 monitoring and by default. This is also enabled- and I will highly suggest keeping it enabled, because during this coronavirus pandemic measurement of blood oxygen, saturation level is very important, and that's why this is an extremely useful feature. Just like the heart rate monitoring.

You can also get the low spo2 alert whenever your spo2 drops below a set value, so by default this is disabled. If you tap on this, then you can select the at what speed level you would like to get the low SP or to alert. So it goes from 75 to 90. We must keep it 90, because spo2 is usually around 95 and if it goes below 90, then your situation is getting bad. So once again considering the coronavirus pandemic, I will suggest keeping both of this feature.

Automatic sp2 monitoring and the low spo2 alert turned on and keep it at 90. So let's go back from here and the next one is notification, and by default it is enabled because Huawei health application turns it on for all the messaging apps. So you can see that this is turned on for messages, Facebook, Instagram, messenger, Twitter and WhatsApp, and if you remember in the very beginning, we gave the permission for SMS messages notification to appear on our Huawei band 6. If you want to turn on the notification and receive them on your Huawei band 6 for any of the particular application, then you can just turn it on by just tapping on this slider. So, for example, if I do not want to get the notification from Instagram, then I can tap on this slider and turn it off.

If I want to enable and get the notifications from Instagram, so I can turn it on by just tapping on the slider and if you do not want to get notifications at all on your lava band 6, then you can just tap on the primary slider and then tap on disable option on the pop-up window appearing on the screen to turn off the notifications. So once again, this is a very nice feature, so better to keep it on. After that. The next one you got is alarm. As the name suggest, you can set up the alarm on your Huawei health application, it will be synced with your Huawei band 6 and at the right time the wavy band 6 will start vibrating to let you know that this is the alarm time, and after that we got the weather reports.

Here you get the option to turn on or off the weather reports, and you can also select the temperature unit between Celsius and Fahrenheit. If you go to the help section. Obviously, as the name suggests, it will give you some information, some user manual, quick, start guide kind of thing to use your Huawei band 6.

The music switch between the tracks using your Huawei band 6. , the next one is Bluetooth. Disconnection reminder: this is a nice feature.

What exactly does when you start moving away from your smartphone and go out of the area of Bluetooth serial range, then the Bluetooth connection between the smartphone and the Huawei band 6 will be terminated and at that time zombie band 6 will start giving you notification that you are going away from your smartphone, and this is a nice feature, because if somehow you forget to take your phone with yourself, then your Ravi band will let you know, and the next one is raised to wake. What exactly it does. If this feature is turned down, and you are wearing your wavy band 6. So if you just raise your hand or just flick it, then the sensors will detect that you are moving your wrist, and you want to check the screen of your only bank sector. Let me give you a quick demo of this so right now, as you can see that the light of this Huawei band 6 is turned off.

So if I just take it from the table, so the screen is on now, and I can see the notification time whatever. So this is what exactly race to wake feature does that it will light up the screen whenever you move your wrist or raise it from a stationary position. So this is also a very nice feature that you can use on your Huawei band 6. , let's go back from here and after that we got two options: restore factory settings and the firmware update. So I'm going to make separate videos for both of them, because the process itself is very time-consuming and lengthy, and I do not want to cover these in this video.
