When looking at the market, which features are really necessary? In addition to basic functions like daily activity tracking, heart rate monitoring, sleep analysis, and GPS support, battery life and screen quality are also important. After determining your budget, which features should you prioritize? What should you pay attention to for variable sensor performance? How should you approach different user needs?
What should I look for when choosing a smart band?

I felt like I was comparing a Mini Cooper to a Tesla while searching for the best smart band without a screen. For example, when you put the Mi Band series next to the Huawei Band series, Mi Band can collect at least 7 hours of sleep data even at a price of $50-$60. On the other hand, the Huawei Band 8 has flagship-level sensors that seem "better" in everything, but it costs over $150, and in my opinion, if you're not a fitness enthusiast, it's overkill with its 2-day battery life.
The same logic applies to screen quality – Xiaomi's simple monochrome screen alerts you about your sleep at 3 AM, while the Galaxy Fit2's AMOLED with 500 nits brightness can strain your eyes. So, unless your first task in the morning is taking a selfie on your smart band's screen, seeing AMOLED as a luxury and opting for a lower price makes much more sense. Sensor performance is also crucial, with options ranging from PurePulse 2.0 to Powerbands' heart rate sensors. Powerbands' sensor may not be as precise, but at under $20, it provides more than enough accurate data without making you think, "Did they really exaggerate this?"
