"I've been using the Smart Band 9 for a few months now and I do exercise with it multiple times a day. Cycling, treadmill, strength training, and would wear it for kickboxing class (but not when sparring of course) and whilst it isn't perfectly accurate, I think that it offers enough insight for the greatly discounted price tag when compared to a Garmin!"
"nothing beats its value for money."
"is cheap"

"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. ... The swim tracking seems accurate and the device is responsive immediately after getting out the pool."
"it counts laps fine"

"Mi Band 9 is worth it for the battery life alone imo ... Even with the always on display it lasts about a week before it needs charged."
"Tagal pa ng battery life."
"has a battery that lasts me a week"

"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."

"There’s no GPS? So I’m supposed to have the band on my wrist and my phone along with me for all the workouts, to get the distance tracked?"

"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."
"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."
"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 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."
AltruisticBug6495 1.0Jusqu'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
dinhtrkien 1.0I 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.
fruchle 1.0I 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.
iampsychoe 1.0I'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.
Rubenson1959 1.0Greater 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.
xM33P 1.0I 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?
bklyntown 0.3I'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.
BluFenix 0.3Mi 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.
calcium 0.3Xiaomi makes a decent smartwatch on the cheap. The smart band 9 is solid if you want sleep tracking/fitness stuff for less than $60.
callsignomega 0.3I 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
