specially designed for basketball and sports enthusiasts. Aside from this new
basketball mode and a few tweaks, the Band 4e is similar to the Band 3e that
was launched last year.

running. The design is similar to the Band 3e and they also share similar
features. The band comes with an attractive polyamide color mix strap. There is
also a case for attaching the watch to your running shoes for more accurate
step tracking. When worn on the wrist, apart from tracking the daily activities
and sleep tracking, it also has a variety of reminder functions such as

landing impact, and foot strike placement. All these data are monitored by the
fitness tracker and help you to become better at running.

and bounce number, in sync with advanced AI algorithm of Huawei Sports Health
