Huawei’s Honor brand launched the Honor Band 4 alongside the trimmed down Band 4 Running Edition last week during the Honor 8X and 8X Max launch event. Both wearable devices went up for pre-orders immediately after their launch and the sales were scheduled for today (September 11). Honor has now announced that the Honor Band 4 Running Version got sold out within two hours after the sales opened.
The Honor Band 4 Running version is cheaper than the Band 4. It adopts a 99 yuan ($14) price tag unlike the Band 4 which has a 199 yuan (~$29) price tag that is twice that of the Running version. The Band 4 Running version comes with a stylish design which Honor says is inspired by the styling characteristics of the sports car inlet, which contains a steady stream of power. The smart band is suitable for footwear and incorporates Honor’s self-developed step counter algorithm to record every step in real-time.
