Smart Band 9 (M2345B1, BHR8340GL) Review: 1.62” AMOLED Display Fitness Tracker
Introduction
The Smart Band 9 (M2345B1, BHR8340GL) promises a premium fitness tracking experience at an accessible price point. With its vibrant 1.62-inch AMOLED display and a touted battery life of up to 21 days, I put this Glacier Silver model through its paces to see if it delivers on its claims. This review details my experiences using the Smart Band 9 over several weeks.
Features
The Smart Band 9 boasts a comprehensive feature set. Beyond the eye-catching AMOLED display, it includes:
- Multiple sports tracking modes
- Accurate heart rate monitoring
- Blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring
- Sleep tracking with detailed analysis
- Smart notifications (calls, texts, app alerts)
- Music control
- Weather updates
- Customizable watch faces
Performance
The Smart Band 9 consistently impressed with its accuracy. Heart rate readings matched those of a dedicated chest strap during workouts, and sleep tracking data provided detailed breakdowns of my sleep stages. The AMOLED display was bright and easy to read, even in direct sunlight. The 21-day battery life claim proved largely accurate; I consistently got around 18 days with moderate use. The responsiveness of the touchscreen was excellent, and navigating the interface was intuitive. However, there is sometimes a very slight lag when scrolling through menus or responding to notifications.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Excellent display, accurate sensors, long battery life, comfortable design, affordable price.
- Cons: Occasional slight lag in touchscreen responsiveness, limited app support compared to some competitors.
Final Verdict
The Smart Band 9 (M2345B1, BHR8340GL) is a strong contender in the budget fitness tracker market. Its outstanding display, accurate sensors, and impressive battery life make it a compelling option for users seeking a feature-rich and reliable device. While minor drawbacks exist (occasional lag), these are easily outweighed by the overall positive experience. I would highly recommend the Smart Band 9 to anyone looking for a well-rounded fitness tracker without breaking the bank.
