Head out with some friends and chances are, you’ll spot someone donning a sleek smart watch. After all, who doesn’t want to know if they’re clocking in 10,000 steps a day, or watch their calorie tracker skyrocket with every workout completed?
99% of folks go with the swaggy Apple Watch – after all, it’s functional and aesthetic. But if you’re looking to hop on the bandwagon without the hefty price tag, Huawei Band 6 is a new alternative in town that you can rock from just $68.

Smart watches might not be the first product that comes to mind when we think of Huawei – most of us go straight to their range of affordable phones instead. But if you hit up Google, you’ll realise that they’ve been making smart watches since 2015 – that’s the same year that the first Apple Watch came out.

The watch comes equipped with a sleek rectangular 1.47″ AMOLED sharp display and three colourways: Graphite Black, Forest Green and a super chio Sakura Pink. The body weighs a light 18G, and the straps are made of UV-treated silicone that are durable and dirt-resistant.

For all those who are just terrible at making sure their electronics are fully charged, the kicker comes with their powerful 2-week battery life – great, because it won’t die out on you when you need it; “bad” because there goes your excuse for being late.
To top it off, it also charges from 0 to 100% in just five minutes thanks to its magnetic fast-charger.

The watch has the whole package of 24/7 heart rate monitoring and all-day SpO2 – a.k.a. blood oxygen level – tracking. Train your ruined body clock to get a good night’s sleep with their sleep tracker that comes with suggestions for sleep improvement, or motivate yourself to get that exercise regimen back on track with 96 different workout modes such as cycling, running and swimming.
For those keen on getting your hands on the Huawei Band 6, the watch will be on sale in Singapore from 15th April 2021 onwards. You can purchase it on Lazada or Shopee at just $88 – already lower than the price of most smartwatches out there.
However, to get a bigger bang for your buck, redeem $20 off your Huawei Band 6 when you present an e-receipt from NTUC Fairprice Online – no minimum spend required. That brings the price all the way down to just $68. The deal is available from now till 14th May 2021, and can be redeemed at selected distribution stores.
