Xiaomi - Mi Smart Band 4

I used this for a bit with a Mi-band 4. It worked well enough.

Nice to have but people have been running for decades without watches and have been faster and better than me. It's not a limiting factor. I went from a mi band 4 which was pretty bad lol. Even the pace 3 that I have is overkill. An amazefit would've been a smarter choice but hey, decided to splurge a bit (got from usa so like 8k cheaper tho).

I started with mi band 4 but I wanted better sp splurged on a coros. But most people don't really need more than a amazefit

I would recommend Xiaomi's Mi Band. I have been using it since 2019 (Mi Band 4), and my last upgrade was in 2023 (Mi Band 8). They are definitely "good enough". Besides the bells and whistles, the two most important features for me are: \* A recognizable brand (Xiaomi) \* Up to 16 days of battery life

I still have my mi band 4 until now, just replaced couple of torn straps for all those years.

I have the band 9 and I have no issues with mine, the only dislike is that the mi fitness app keeps telling me to have the app running on the background and I've already gone to my phone settings and allowed majority of everything, that way I can keep getting notifications from my phone. But overall, I love my 9, I still have the mi band 4 and an amazfit band 5. I just purchased the amazfit bip 6, because I just found out that you can reply to your texts with that one, and I've been searching for something like that. It won't arrive until the 9th

Do you want to just measure distance and track your route and heartbeat? If so the cheeapest is to get a smart band (i have the MI smart band). I can't remember the price but it's definitely less than 100, but obviously will not have as many things as a sport watch like the others suggested. It can also be a good idea to get something cheap and if in a couple years you still use you can save for something better

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.
