Huawei Band 11 if you want the best hardware under €65: screen, night HRV, continuous SpO₂ and, on the Pro, GPS. In exchange you accept installing Huawei Health outside Google Play on Android and charging every week.
DuckDik Sense if what you want is to know how you sleep, how you recover and how much energy you have, without looking at your wrist or charging every week. You pay more for the band, but no fee for the interpretation.
The DuckDik Sense: up to 45 days (25-30 with intense daily training). Huawei claims up to 8 days of typical use for the Band 11, 14 in light use and 3 with the always-on display; heise measured a little under a week with everything on.
Yes, Android 9 or later and iOS 13 or later. On Android the Huawei Health app isn't on Google Play: you install it from AppGallery or as an APK. On iPhone it's on the App Store, without quick replies to messages.
In tests of the Band 11 Pro (same sensor), heise and PC-Welt rated heart rate as good in steady cardio, with errors above 10 bpm in intervals, and sleep as reliable. The DuckDik Sense uses the same type of optical sensor; neither is a medical device.
No. Both work without paying a fee. Huawei Health offers an optional membership; with DuckDik the AI coach is included.
Official European prices as of 26 October 2026; they may change. Wellness and activity data: neither is a medical device. Huawei Band 11 data comes from its website and independent reviews (below).
