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

Thanks for sharing! I am comparing miband10 with my old miband4. I feel that it is a downgrade after using it for 2 weeks... Hopefully I did not buy a fake one... 🥹

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.

Lol same, upgraded from a miband to a garmin, its definitely way better at tracking distance accurately, and has a functioning gps. Also way higher battery life. If you have the budget, you can consider else the Miband is honestly the GOAT. PSA: there is a difference between the sport watches like Garmin and smart watches like apple watches with the apps and battery life. Depending on your use case you can uograde to either if you want more accurate tracking.
