5. Purchase suggestions and precautions
1. Be sure to measure your wrist circumference before purchasing. The traditional "wrist circumference + 15mm" formula is no longer applicable to full-screen bracelets.
2. Give priority to models that support quick-release straps, such as Huawei GT series, Xiaomi Mi Band 7Pro, etc.
3. When modifying, be careful to avoid the sensor area. Most bracelets require the back to be <10mm away from the skin for normal monitoring.
4. After the waterproof model is modified, it is recommended to conduct a sealing test. You can place a wet wipe under the dial and observe it for 2 hours.
5. Special attention should be paid to the nickel release when used by children. The EU standard requires <0.5μg/cm²/week.
According to the latest test by digital blogger @geikewan, the newly released vivo WATCH 2, OPPO Band 2 and other models in 2023 have adopted adaptive bandage technology, which is expected to completely solve the size adaptation problem. It is recommended to continue to pay attention to the Xiaomi Mi Band 8 and Huawei Band 7, which will be released in the second half of the year. According to reports, a revolutionary liquid metal strap design will be introduced.
