Xiaomi - Smart Band 9 Active

Jusqu'ici j'avais un Redmi Smart Band Pro et il assurait le suivi de la natation (il détectait même le style de nage...) Mais comme il commençait à fatiguer (sutout les attaches du bracelet), j'ai pris un Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Active (50 modes de sport) Hélas, la natation n'apparait même pas dans la liste des activités sur le bracelet... Je vais sûrement utiliser le mode Entrainement pour le suivi Je suis un nageur occasionnel donc ça me suffira Le Smart Band 9 "classic" a 150 modes de sport donc j'imagine que la natation en fait partie

I've been using Xiaomi Band 9 Active for a month now. I also bought for ₱1.2k lang ata. So far, I didn't encounter any problems with it. Madali lang din gamitin and matagal malowbatt. It can record any exercise rin as well as your sleep rate. I think good siya for beginners talaga especially meron siyang app for more accurate data gathered from the band.

Get the Active Band 9. Mas prefer ko kasi maliit lang and hindi sabagal. GNSS gamit nya, so need mo nang Android phone with bluetooth para magamit nggg GPS. As a beginer runner, enough sa sya. Wala lang altitude barometer.

I used to wear MiBand5 (xiaomi) for this purpose for 4 years. Got it for about usd25. App zepplife sync well with my iphone n strava. Latest is xiaomi smartband 9 active. Price about the same. These watches dont have gps function. start a running session thru the app and the watch will automatically enter running mode that will enable heart rate monitoring, step counts etc during the session. The screen is too small to see clearly your current heart rate while running, but i just glance at my iphone screen to see parameters such as heart rate, pace, distance, time workout. I use iphone 12 mini so the size is comfortable enough to hold in my hand while running. i attached a strap to the iphone casing for more secure hold of it.

I have the Band 9 Active for 2 months now, I had a weird encounter where I was doing a 30km hike, at almost 9hrs into the activity, the watch kept vibrating saying I have to connect it with the phone because it needs to transfer data to free space again on the watch (im confused), which it was already connected with the phone. Made sure it was connected, warning did not go away. pressed done, the tracking ended, bummer. Anyone else encountered this?

I had 2 Fitbit charges (4 and 5) and both died at around 2 years. Currently using Xiaomi Band 9 and loving it so far.

Wala yatang built in gps band 9. Currently using watch 2 lite, nagagamit ko kahit di dala yung phone and nag sync naman sa strava after.

I'm using a Xiaomi Mi-band 9 to count laps. There's more, but it counts laps fine, is cheap and has a battery that lasts me a week.

Go for Mi Band 9, if you want better tracking (Mi Band is already better) go for Huawei. Galaxy is expensive but doesn't keep up its name for being more expensive than Mi Bands with the same features.

Xiaomi makes a decent smartwatch on the cheap. The smart band 9 is solid if you want sleep tracking/fitness stuff for less than $60.

I know that Greg Mairs uses Zoop. Personally, I use a Mi Band 9. It lasts for a couple of weeks and heart rate is quite accurate +/- 3bpm. OnePlus has a watch that tracks shots played and so forth

I got a xiaomi smart band 9 for $30 USD from Amazon a couple of weeks ago. If you're in the US, it uses metric units; idk if that'd be a deal breaker for you. I just wanted something cheap to track steps and tell the time, and it works great for that. There is a period tracker, but I decided not to use it. Didn't seem like the best idea, being a woman in the US.

Wouldn't really recommend Pro 2 for that (either). It's just a nice looking watch with GPS. Xiaomi could be better.

Currently rocking a Xiaomi Mi Band 9 and it's pretty good. Battery life lasts about 2 weeks with my settings (pretty average). For ~$30 USD, can't really complain. My only real "complaint" is that it doesn't have NFC / Google Pay integration, because that would be neat. The Fitbit Charge 6 has it - but costs 6x as much. The app situation is a bit of a mess. DO NOT under any circumstances enable Health Connect syncing in the Mi Fitness app. It won't be immediate but after a week or so it will peg your phone's CPU to 100% and absolutely murder your battery life. The only solution is to uninstall/reinstall (for about another week). It's a long standing bug (you can find discussion of it going back years). So just don't do it. Also - older bands (7 and older) use the Zepp Life app instead. Which is also fine. The annoyance for me is I have the Xiaomi Body Composition Scale 2 which also only uses Zepp Life - and then the band uses Mi Fitness and there's no way to have them on the same app.

I haven't tried walking in place yet, but I've jogged in place while wearing a Mi Band 9. (I'm not really recommending this watch... I'm sure there are better ones on the market. I only settled for this one because I'm a cheapskate lol.. But it serves its purpose, for the most part. ) Whenever I jog in place while on my phone, I hold the phone and scroll using the hand/arm that isn't wearing the watch (i.e. right hand). I continue swinging the arm that is wearing the watch (i.e. left arm). I've also seen videos and read about people wearing their watches on their ankles instead, whenever their watches are undercounting steps due to lack of arm movement... like if they're on a walking pad while working at a standing desk... I might try walking in place and wearing my watch on my ankle just to see how it goes.

Just so you know, I did an experiment wearing my Mi Band 9. I walked in place for five minutes in each scenario. Here are the results: .a) wearing the watch on my ankle - I'm not sure how accurate the heart rate is, since these watches are meant to be worn on the wrist. But it picked up my step count just fine. .b) wearing the watch on my left wrist, making sure to keep my left arm swinging. ( I was holding my phone in my right hand and scrolling , so my right arm wasn't swinging.) It also picked up my step count just fine. .c) wearing the watch on my left wrist but holding on to my phone with both hands (no arm swinging). The watch did not pick up my step count at all, and it said that the distance was too short to record. Conclusion: If you're going to use a fitness tracker/watch to track your step count while walking in place, you need to be swinging at least the arm that is wearing it. If you won't be swinging your arms, then wear the watch on your ankle. I'm not going to recommend this brand/watch. There are probably better ones out there. I was just curious and wanted to know for myself if it would detect my steps while walking in place. PS. I have a pedometer too, I might also test that while walking in place. But based on my previous experience with it, it doesn't detect my footsteps when my footsteps are too light. Or maybe I just got a bad one. https://preview.redd.it/zjy8e1cva4df1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7957f7875e5d14d16013b475e0e7dfb83d0a2d5

overheating shut down on the 9, doesnt take much just needs to be in the sun on your wrist in 25 celsius . take your charge cable with you when you travel else your watch might be off until you get back home which could be days,.

Hey man, thanks for the confirmation. I’ve decided to go with Mi band 9, nothing beats its value for money. Ordering it from Fuper, costs about 6k. Is there any other reliable site to order from? I want it in India

Huawei has shit app support in India Redmi had a great app. Idk current situation Samsung is pretty good, and probably the only legit 'smartband' in the indian market atm Id personally recommend you get a mi band 9 from outside india, or via DesertCart. They are cheap, more accurate, and more subtle on your wrist. Also, dont get your hopes up on the accuracy too much, especially for this budget.

never happened to mine, I have it since January 2025 🤔

I'm very new to this whole running and fitness hobby at etong Xiami Band 9 ang binili ko as a companion device. Goods to kung gusto mo lang talaga ng basic/simple wearable tracker. It does the job and it offers other features din. For a more budget-friendly option, you can also consider the Band 8 - reviews say na halos parehas lang with Band 9 except for some updates.

Mi Band 9: the hardware is very good, but the exclusive software (Mi Fitness) is terribly weak. The software is infantile, calculating what kind of animal you are based on sleep data, but it doesn't support a single scale, not even the scales made by the same manufacturer (Mi Scale series). Fitness app without scale support??? Joke.

I got the Xiaomi / Mi Smart Band 9 after my Charge 5 died. I'm happy with the switch. More metrics and no paywall. It's around $50. Another one to consider is the Huawei Band 9. I couldn't decide between those 2.

That's what Xiaomi / Mi Band 9 is for.

My mi band9 3 months after use got a green screen. Right now preorder huawei band10.

I also have a xiaomi band 9 and it's a great little fitness/sleep tracker for the price. In your opinion what's the biggest advantages the apple watch has over something like the xiaomi where you're willing to forego the 10+ fay battery life for having to charge the thing every 18 hours?

Hell yeah mine has been great for me. Not the most accurate but I use it more as a watch with the AOD. Mi Band 9 is worth it for the battery life alone imo

I liked the xiaomi mi band 9. No. HRV but pretty accurate heart rate and pretty accurate steps. At least mine was . but if you're going to get that i I would change the band on it because it is garbage and I can't believe they keep putting out new models without changing the band. Mine would come loose and one day it came loose and it fell off and the watch broke.

Used to love fitbit, but now their stuff don't even last. I just got a mi band 9, and I'm loving it and just got the galaxy watch 7 because I got a promotion with tmobile, and that watch is way better than my galaxy watch 4. I was going to order the amazfit bip 6, heard good reviews on that one too. You just have to do your homework, go to YouTube, see reviews on the latest trackers and find out which would work out for you based on your lifestyle and budget wise 🙂

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

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

I finally upgraded from my Xiaomi Smart Band 6 to the 9. I had been putting it off because I'd read so many negative comments about the Mi Fitness app. Anyway, my 6 was playing up, so it was time to upgrade and I thought I would share my opinions in case anyone else is on the fence. # The good * Larger, brighter screen that feels more responsive and smoother. * Longer battery life although I'm only on day 2 so it's difficult to compare just yet. * Shower proof - water no longer sends the watch crazy, it's like "Water? What water?!" * Improved swimming mode allows you to monitor your progress as you swim. * The app syncs well with Health Connect (Google Fit) and actually syncs my swims as swims, not walking. * I would possibly argue that the app (Android) is an improvement over Zepp Life in many ways, it has dark mode, it transferred my Zepp data across and it has some additional features, like Sleep Animal, and AI insights that Zepp Life doesn't have. # The bad * Xiaomi scales don't sync with Mi Fitness, so I still have to run Zepp Life for those and the syncing appears to be delayed. * I miss my watch face. The default Smart Band 6 watch face was almost perfect, or at the very least I was used to it. I can't find a watch face on the 9 that I like. There are loads of options, I just don't like them. * The date format is in American MM/DD and can't be changed on any face. * Calendar and reminders still don't sync with phone (Android). * Limited emoji support. * Still no NFC outside of China. * No voice commands (previous 6 NFC had Alexa). # Conclusion Overall it's certainly an upgrade in terms of performance. The swim tracking seems accurate and the device is responsive immediately after getting out the pool. It's very disappointing that the developers at Xiaomi don't put the same effort into the global user experience as they do the Chinese market. IMO Xiaomi really need to tighten up their ecosystem and possibly have a team outside of Asia to develop it for the global market. But I'm happy with it.

Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is only 2k right now with vouchers. I'm using the Smart Band 9 on my iphone 13 and it's really good! Tagal pa ng battery life. Halos di mo rin ramdam kasi slim siya.

Mi band 9 or 10, Huawei band also, not available in India easily but fairly accurate and compatible with IPhone. Got my band 9 from Philippines and works well for me.
