Iwownfit I6 Pro vs I6 HR comparison

Well i shortly recieved the Iwownfit I6 PRO, im a big fan of it and the I6 HR im already using for a year. They for sure are one of the best you can get for this price in my opinion.

Now after i was having both i decided to make a small comparison between them.

Intro:

In comparison to other activity trackers out there Iwownfit shines with new ideas. For example calender feature, sport managment or the way to charge the I6 HR. For sure now there were released new trackers with same features but one has to be the first to move forward.

Im not really a sportsmanlike, im using the band more for tracking my health and in office, alarms - sedentary reminder and calender feature are a real big help for me there.

And for health reason i sometimes go for a walk in my break (play some AR games ;D), i like to measure my steps and calories, my heart rate wich get done 24 hours a day and sleep quality. (Like in other activity trackers, but for example on the miband 2 and other bands i really missed the automatically measurement of the heart rate 24 hours a day.)

There are other features wich im not using, tracking sports like basketball or start a training, so i cant tell something about that.

Both bands as i have seen has the same features.

(with exception I6HR current firmware has a "do not disturb" function, I6 PRO dont)

Now the comparison:

Both have a beautiful design, the I6 Pro is one of the most fashionable and modern out there i would say.

Both straps are made of tpu and wears well on the wrist.

Both are very thin in comparison to other tracker, especially the I6 Pro wich i really love because other bands hurt while sleeping (so i have to take them off mostly).

The I6 HR is a bit thicker, not much, but in my opinion I6 Pro is more comfortable.

On the sides the I6 Pro measures ~6mm and in the middle ~7-8mm.

The I6 HR measures ~~9mm.

Charging takes about ~30 mins on both, the I6 HR can be took out of the strap and plugged into a usb Port (like that the strap can easily be replaced), wich i really like, because most of the time im sitting infront of a pc.

The I6 Pro can be charged via a magnetic cable wich get connected on the back side. Similar like other bands but the most others using a clamp instead of magnetism.

Step & sleep tracking seems to be more accurate with the I6 HR. (Can be Software & Firmware related currently, my firmware is 1.0.5.38)

On the other hand the I6 Pro seems to be more accurate with heart rate tracking.

Battery Life:

I6 HR ~~ 8 days

I6 PRO ~~ 6 days

The battery life can be very different, it depends much how it get used. How often the display get switched on, is it connected via bluetooth all the time, heart rate 24 hours a day...

But in all the battery life is very fine for that formfactor. Other bands often has less battery life even they were a lot bigger. (Most battery would be consumed maybe by the 24 h a day heart rate tracking wich others dont have)

For both im using the Zeroner Health Pro app , wich is a bit faster with firmware updates then iwownfit pro as i could notice. I must say im very happy with this app at all, i have nothing to complain.

The statistics for steps, calories, heart rate, and sleep is very nice and good designed.

Some people complain about problems with connection, maybe they are doing something wrong because it's working very fine with both bands for me, not a single problem over 1 year with my I6 HR.

At first you have to add the band in the app.

If you have problems i recommend to couple/link them in bluetooth menu. Then you just have to turn on bluetooth and then open the app. Just as easy !

It looks like iwownfit cares about there customers. The software get updated and they have a forum where people reporting problems and features etc wich get included often on newer versions as i have seen. Thats really nice wich i missed a bit from xiaomi (for example me and many customer reported for a 24h a day heart rate measure feature years ago, wich never get included) and others...

Features im currently missing:

- Sync calender with google calender.

- Blood pressure & oxygen ( i don't know if it's possible with the used sensor)

If you have idea for other good features i would be interested what you think =).

Cheers.
