A stylish decision in a compact format.

I also dont see the point of bigger smartband that doesnt even use that screen as bigger devices do exactly the same thing and have the same OS and functions as rest.
Those devices have just three jobs: show notifications, show time and do basic sport/health
monitoring.... No point of spending more than 50$ on smartband...

    The Reviewer might think the bezels are impressively small, but the rest of the world is of the view that they are unnecessarily LARGE, taking perhaps 30% of the screen surface real estate away (do the math) for ??? purpose. It is a total waste of space.

      EskeRahn, 18 Jul 2022A very real problem with practically all of these smart-wat... moreI see your point. Can you switch off the Band 7? An issue I have with most bands, and similarly equipped watches like the Garmin Vivomove Sport, is that there is no option to switch them off! You have to wear them constantly!

      If you want to wear another watch, then they get in a "low energy" mode, but they are still on and by the time you want to wear them again, they need to be charged first. Watch Fit, both 1 & 2, have a proper "shut down" option under system settings. To me, and my usage pattern, this is a big advantage.

        A very real problem with practically all of these smart-watches is well illustrated by their own advertising image here:

        ...a pillbox on a string!

        Their Band 7 gives the same functionalities (less BT calling) with a better fit, of a 30% narrower display, and longer battery stamina.

        ...And YES you can get Milanese bands for Band 7 as well (€7-8 on ebay), and those got a much better fit than for the Band 6, Compared 6 and 7 cases here: https://eskerahn.dk/?p=4485/

              Cool. But quite expensive. I'd rather wait for Mi Band 7 Pro and get Samsung Watch 5 in the future as well. All I need is cool design and ability to use music player and change music without taking off my phone from my pocket. I can use the buttons of my earphones but it isn't that fast to do. Currently using Mi Band 6 but big screen will be better.

                Best smartwatch ever

                  Come on GSMArena, giving a review about the 2nd gen of a device without mentioning what it got over the 1st gen? I know this isn't a compare review but some of us need to know
