@gozmike That's pretty efficient. Do they state a battery life? :)
Replaced my Jawbobe UP3 for the Mi Band 2, didn't like it at all, doesn't read heart rate while sleeping, no automatic exercise tracking, sometimes it doesn't sync and more issues
@giodelgado What do you mean by does not read heart rate while sleeping? Can't I sync with my Sleep Manager app?
@giodelgado I combined it with the sleep as Android app. Works great. Constantly measures my heart rate whilst sleeping and discovered I had a very low pulse at night so I am thankful for that. The alarm vibrates before my phone starts ringing so not to wake partner up. In addition, the sleep as android app features snoring detection and then vibrates my Mi Band 2 so I can reposition. This device gives the Jawbone a run for it's money. Best tracker I have ever had! (The Mi Band 3 has a slightly better battery life so select that one instead)
Used the first Mi Fit, now using this one: super-affordable, Android app now works ยฑ fine.
If your tracking doesn't need to be very social (Xiaomi approach to it is, let's say, non-conventional) this is a good choice.
I have to say, it is very disappointing NOT to see a call to action on the product. Where do I buy this?
Highly recommend this product! Had this for a couple of months now and amazed by 1) price, the value is easy 3x higher than the price 2) updates, just a week ago my mi-band updated and now I also receive caller id and some custom icons for apps (gmail specifically). 3) did I say price! for 20$ I am not worried if anything happened to it I wear it while I do everything from sports to carpentry 4) BATTERY LIFE, this should be number 1. I am waiting for a nice smart watch with decent battery life and feature set, the mi band doesn't scale on the high end / nice part ... but definitely is on the high score for battery. Still I would like to charge my watch less than once every week or so, Maybe someone will come up with a self winding smart watch :P
@pykler Price is now even lower as the Mi Band 3 has been introduced some time ago. I would recommend going for the Mi Band 3 instead. Same great product, better battery life and waterproof (for use in the pool)
it doesn't read heart beat for dark coloured people. When I keep it in my palm it works.
@vinbhai4u That's weird. Never heard this problem before. Are you sure you have it on tight enough?
Value for money- that's what this band is. Integrates with Healthify me and Health app, so everything is tracked very well. Heart rate is skewed a bit, so is calories burnt (which is good for people who are looking to reduce a few pounds)
I heard hundreds of good reviews on Mi Band, I think it's worth trying. at worst, I won't lose much money
If you think about getting one, get the Mi Band 3 for just a little more as it is waterproof and has an even better battery life. Can't go wrong with the Mi Band 2 though, one of the many great products by Xiaomi.
Pros:attractive price, long battery life, syncs with Google Fit.
Cons:not waterproof.
