Xiaomi smart band 8. Cheap and does the job
r/workout ā¢ What fitness trackers/watches does everyone use? And do you really enjoy having it? ->I have the Xiaomi Smartband 8. Cheap, does the job, small. You can remove the straps and tie it into your shoelace.
r/running ā¢ Tracking without fitness watch ->Buy the Xiaomi watch. They have equestrian and horse riding as one of the exercise modes. I've used it over five years they do a fantastic job. I paid 40 for the 8 which is one step down from newest. https://a.co/d/4cbLdcJ
r/Equestrian ā¢ Fitness tracker while riding ->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
r/Frugal ā¢ Has anybody here bought a cheap smart watch before? ->Mi Band 8. F'in great watch and only $35 or so edit: Mi Band 9 has been out a while, but no reason for me to upgrade
r/Frugal ā¢ Has anybody here bought a cheap smart watch before? ->Even Band 8 (which Iām using now) is good! Can be synch sa Strava (through Mi fitness app) and iphone fitness too.
r/PHRunners ā¢ Review for Xiaomi Smart Band 9 ->Im using the cheapest xiaomi band8 with strava. sometimes it stops counting the laps or adding +2 lap at the end but overall i wouldnt recommend, i would go with a cheaper applewatch
r/Swimming ā¢ Swimming watch recommendations Android? Apple? ->I like my smart band 8. I like the narrow profile. Some other watches are too big. The silicon strap broke after 1 year so I upgraded to a nice strap. I wish I had done this sooner! I like the digital displays that show both steps and heart rate. Weather and date are handy too. The sleep data is super interesting too. Cool to see how many hours sleep I average each week, month, etc.
r/Frugal ā¢ Has anybody here bought a cheap smart watch before? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
