Honor Band 5 revealed, gains SpO2 sensor to track blood oxygen level
Alongside the Honor 9X and 9X Pro, the brand also unveiled its latest smart band – the Honor Band 5. The Standard Edition costs CNY 190 ($28/€25), the one with NFC goes up to CNY 220 ($32/€29).

Like the previous version, the band features a 0.95” color OLED display with 120 x 240px resolution. It can display text messages from SMS, WeChat and QQ. The battery should last 14 days between charges.
The Honor Band 5 has an optical heart rate monitor as before (a slightly newer model, TruSeen 3.5, up from 3.0). Also, it gains an SpO2 sensor (blood oxygen saturation), which can be useful for the adventurous types (if you climb to high altitudes) or those suffering from certain conditions (e.g. hypoxia).

The Honor Band 5 Standard Edition is available in China today (CNY 190), the NFC version is coming on July 29 (CNY 220).

it isn't blood pressure, it measures oxygen saturation in blood, for accurate results clinical instruments are advised.
