Huawei Band 8 User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user manual for wearable devices regarding water and dust resistance. This document covers various standards like EN 13319, ISO 22810, and IEC 60529, and their implications for device usage. It also explains suitable activities like swimming and diving, while outlining scenarios to avoid, like high-temperature or high-pressure environments. I'm prepared to answer your questions about the device's capabilities and limitations.
  • What does it mean when a wearable device is water-resistant?
    Can I use my wearable device in a hot shower?
    What are the standard conditions for water resistance tests?
    Is damage from water immersion covered by warranty?
Water-resistant and dust-resistant level definition and usage scenario description of
wearable devices
Being water-resistant and dust-resistant means that the wearable device prevents water and dust
from entering inside and damaging the interior components and the mainboard.
In the following test scenarios, the normal temperature ranges from 15°C to 35°C, the relative
humidity ranges from 25% to 75%, and the atmospheric pressure ranges from 86 kPa to 106 kPa
(the standard atmospheric pressure is 101.325 kPa).
