Based on 1 year's data from Mar 19, 2026 How it works
I just recently added my very old MI Band 2 to the Zepp App (was produced by Amazfit when it was still called Huami and working together with Xiaomi) - it still works fine, obviously the battery doesn't last long anymore but it is still functional. For reference the MI Band 2 was released 2016. While Garmin most certainly gives you more data detail, an app and web accessible portal, more insights and a broader range of trainings (cycling, swimming, triathlon not just running) it also costs a lot more. Do you need the extra data? I think if you compare Zepp/Amazfit with Coros, Suunto and Polar it would be a bit more evenly matched. Zepp apparently is getting better with quite big steps every year while other companies make very little progress. For the money it surely is the best bang for buck that has usable data and it at least seems they stopped with releasing new hardware all the time and then not supporting it after a year. See the bright side, you can also buy multiple watches for different occasions and throw a Smart Ring in there that no other fitness watch brand even has... Just my 2c
Hatte eine Smart Watch von Samsung aber war viel zu schwer, zu groß und der Akku einfach zu schwach. Alle 1-2 Tage laden ist nichts für mich. Habe es dann noch mit einem Mi Band probiert und das war mit seinen knapp 2 Wochen Akku echt in Ordnung, die Funktionen waren ausreichend und es war kaum am Arm zu merken. Vor allem mit Klett-Stoffband war es echt angenehm zu tragen. Aber trotzdem ging es mir am Ende mehr auf den Sack als das es nützlich gewesen wäre. Hab mich auch immer so eingeengt gefühlt damit, vor allem nachts wenn Arme gerne mal etwas dicker werden, oder das Sensorlicht unterm Arm durchscheint und alles unter der Decke zum Leuchten bringt. Keine Ahnung, muss nicht mehr sein. Ist nur ne Spielerei für mich. Normale Uhr hatte ich nie. Als Teenie vllt ne Swatch in den 90ern kurzzeitig aber sonst nie.
Ich habe eigentlich schon immer eine analoge Uhr gehabt (mehrere Seiko im Lauf der Jahrzehnte). Von 2016 bis 2023 zusätzlich ein Mi Band, seitdem nur noch eine Galaxy Watch. Ich war zuerst skeptisch, ob ich das mag, aber in der Zwischenzeit möchte ich sie nicht mehr missen. War aber auch ein super Schnäppchen, ich habe umgerechnet ca. 150 Euro bezahlt.
Get a mi band, I’ve had a couple of them over the years and they work great with iPhones as well.
Look into the Xiaomi Mi Band. Does everything that the FitBit does for 1/5 the price.
Technically not google though, lol. But yes, certainly not the most private.
Xiaomi Mi Band. Great features. Super bright and legible screen. Phenomenal battery life. See Mrwhosetheboss' mini review of the smart band 10 within [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiOi4rD83kM) video. He gives it a 10/10. I don't think it's reached our shores as yet, but it's not much different from the 9 (the standard or pro variants, not the Active version) which is under a grand.
Used Xiaomi mi band le lo or agar budget 11k tak increase kar sakte ho to new lelo
Well then I have a fitness tracker, sorry for my naming confusion. I have a Xiaomi Mi band but I really want to look for a more analog and traditional life.
I've used "Mi Bands" (Xiaomi Smart Band) for the longest time, fundamentally for Step Counting and Sleep Tracking, rarely as a bluetooth remote control and for NFC payment. It's very small and unintrusive, doesn't bother you at all and it only needs charging every two-three weeks. You don't have to use all the unneccesary bells and whistles obviously.
