The Easez Smart Band 8 (ESB-650) arrived on my desk in a charming pastel pink hue, promising a sleek design, comprehensive fitness tracking, and impressive battery life. After several weeks of rigorous testing, I’m ready to share my in-depth review, covering everything from its daily usability to its performance during intense workouts.

The ESB-650 boasts a vibrant 0.96″ TFT display, making it easy to read even in direct sunlight. The touch responsiveness is excellent, and navigating the menus is intuitive. The advertised features are largely delivered: Bluetooth connectivity for notifications, dust and water resistance (IP67 rating, which I tested extensively!), a heart rate monitor, and surprisingly accurate sleep tracking. The band itself is comfortable to wear, even during sleep, thanks to its lightweight and ergonomic design. It’s undeniably pocket-sized, a major plus for portability.

During my testing, the heart rate monitor proved consistent with my chest strap monitor, giving me confidence in its accuracy. The sleep tracking data provided insightful details about my sleep stages, which I found motivating to improve my sleep hygiene. I used the ESB-650 for various workouts, including running, cycling, and yoga. The workout tracking is comprehensive, accurately recording time, distance, calories burned, and heart rate. The battery life exceeded my expectations. While it didn’t quite reach the advertised 7 days with heavy usage (around 5 days), it easily lasted 45 days on standby, which is impressive.

One minor drawback I noticed was the occasional lag in receiving notifications, particularly when my phone was farther away. This was infrequent and didn’t significantly impact my overall experience.

Pros:

• Sleek and comfortable design
• Accurate fitness tracking
• Long battery life
• Vibrant display
• IP67 water and dust resistance

Cons:

• Occasional notification lag
• Battery life slightly less than advertised under heavy use

Overall, the Easez Smart Band 8 (ESB-650) offers excellent value for its price. Its combination of features, accuracy, and long battery life makes it a strong contender in the fitness tracker market. While there are minor drawbacks, they are easily outweighed by its many strengths. I would wholeheartedly recommend the ESB-650 to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish fitness tracker.
