Top 5 Xiaomi fitness bracelets

Fitness bracelet from Xiaomi's "daughter". Here is a color IPS screen, a battery that allows the device to live for 20 days without recharging (with an average intensity of use). Also, the model has moisture protection WR50: with a bracelet you can take a shower, swim. In addition, with the help of Amazfit Band 2, you can control music tracks on your smartphone player. But there is no volume control.

This model from Xiaomi is quite controversial.On the one hand, the bracelet is tenacious, looks stylish and accurately counts steps / pulse, on the other hand, the device has unfinished controls, there are problems with build quality and durability, displaying notifications. In the reviews, the owners complain about the spontaneous loss of communication, as well as the "Chinese Russian" language. The cost of the bracelet is clearly overpriced. Its red price, taking into account a large percentage of defects and flaws, is 1500-2000 rubles.

A new low-cost model from Xiaomi with a low weight (only 13 g), a transflective screen and the ability to control a smartphone player. This fitness bracelet, of course, does not produce ultra-accurate readings like its more expensive brothers. But it boasts a quite concise design, IP68 working moisture protection and autonomy up to 15 days. In reality, this device lives up to 7-10 days. In fact, this model is a full-fledged copy of Redmi Band, created for the global market. Users call it a stripped-down version of Mi Band 5 and 4, as the functionality here is a little poorer.

Xiaomi has created a good ultra-budget model for novice users. True, there are no less problems here than with more expensive brand devices. The biggest one is raw software. Because of it, for the first connection to a smartphone, you have to look for a new version of the Mi Wear program. Otherwise, the smartphone simply refuses to connect to the bracelet.

New 2020 from Xiaomi, equipped with a 1.1-inch OLED display, IP68 (WR50) waterproof and magnetic charging.Users note that this model lives longer on a single charge than previous versions, counts steps / heart rate more accurately and monitors sleep with less error. A large selection of screens, 11 sports modes and a battery designed for 10-14 days of work are what people love about Mi Band 5.

True, not everything is so good with this model from Xiaomi. The negative reviews of the owners are associated with the periodic disconnection of the bracelet from the smartphone, shortcomings in counting steps. Of course, an improved, “finished” heart rate sensor is installed here, but there are still problems with the heart rate monitor. Owners are advised to “train” the device through behavior tags. So the bracelet begins to give out more accurate indicators.

The "acclaimed" fitness bracelet from Xiaomi. The model has become popular due to its affordable price, compactness, autonomy and the presence of moisture protection WR50 (which is rare among budget devices). A convenient small AMOLED display perfectly displays information, and the silicone strap sits securely even on a thin brush. The bracelet is also equipped with a capacious battery: it is designed for 480 hours of standby time. In fact, the device lives 5-8 days.

In addition to rave reviews about Mi Band 4, there are also negative reviews. Basically, users scold the device for the lack of GPS, the inaccuracy of the pedometer while running, and the lying heart rate monitor. Also, among the serious shortcomings, the owners note a small warranty period from the manufacturer (1 month), periodic glitches and loss of communication with the smartphone. Another disadvantage is inconvenient charging. You have to constantly pull out the capsule, which is why the seat stretches over time.

Fitness bracelet from Xiaomi, time-tested. Although the model is a little outdated, since it was released in 2018, it still remains in demand on the market. The Band 3 has a monochrome OLED display, Bluetooth 4.2 interface, IP68 waterproof rating, and a 20-day battery life in standby mode. The functions here are standard, like most budget Xiaomi bracelets. The text of notifications is displayed correctly, but sometimes you can see "???" instead of emoticons/punctuation marks.

From user reviews, it is clear that in fact the bracelet lives no more than 8-10 days, and with active use up to 5-7 days. Mi Band 3 does not have GPS: during runs you have to use your smartphone for tracking. The owners also talk about a quickly scratched screen, non-Russian copies and Bluetooth failing after 1-1.5 years of operation. In addition, many are unhappy with the buggy Mi Fit app and the inaccurate heart rate monitor.
