The smart wearable comes equipped with a 2.5D AMOLED screen which supports an Always-On-Display (AOD) feature. For health and fitness tracking, it boasts sleep, stress, blood oxygen level, and heart rate trackers. There's also a swimming mode which can track several metrics like strokes, laps, and performance.
Huawei Band 9 price in India starts at Rs. 3,999. However, it is listed as a “special price” and the MRP is said to be Rs. 5,999. The smart band will be available for purchase starting January 17 on Flipkart in four colourways — black, pink, white, and yellow.

It is water resistant up to 50 metres.
It features sensors such as an accelerometer, gyroscope, and an optical heart rate sensor, enabling users to keep a check on the heart rate, SpO2, respiratory rate, and abnormal breathing. It leverages Huawei's proprietary TrueSleep technology for monitoring the sleep cycle.
