r/Swimmingxiaomi mi band for swim tracking?
11 months ago

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 bought one back in May, 1 month later the sensor was already broken. Brought it to the store and they replaced it a new one. Now just 4 months later the touch screen is partially dead. Has anyone else had the same experience? Im pretty sure I have taken good care of it.

r/smartwatchWhat's the best smartwatch I can buy? (Price, Battery, Features)

I wouldn't use it for any scientific research. To be clear: I've never used it. I've used the Xiaomi S1 watch (high end), the Amazfit Bip, Band... something, and I have the Amazfit Band 9 Active right now to tide me over because the backlight on my Garmin Vivoactive 3 has died. (And because it cost 40myr delivered ($10usd)) The two bands - Bip have been dubiously accurate. Basically fine, I guess.

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.

Greater accuracy in your data may come with a later Xiaomi fitness band that has GPS and more accelerometers. In deciding to buy the same smart band, I regret not knowing about the smart band 8 for comparison. Its cost was a small amount more. I don’t know if the features differ significantly. I’m happy with my smart band 9 active. Terrific value for the cost $20. Having had this smart band, when it fails, I’ll upgrade then.

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.

Mi Band 9, The best watch super cheap but tracks everything I need: heart rate, distance, altitude, blood oxygen, and more. The best part is the battery lasts 6 days. I love it.

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.
