"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!"

"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?"

r/runningfrAvis montre connectée xiaomi
4 months ago

Perso j'ai une xiaomi smart band pro 9 et pour le prix (60€) rien à dire, bonnes fonctionnalités sportives, très bonne autonomie, c'est compatible avec strava (il faut synchroniser mi fitness et strava), et surtout il y a un gps intégré d'assez bonne précision donc le téléphone est moins indispensable à avoir sur soi. Le gros défaut c'est justement en natation où il ne calcule pas le temps de déplacement spécifiquement, mais divise la distance sur le temps total d'activité pour calculer le temps au 100m, donc ça donne un temps bien trop élevé

r/smartwatchNeed a watch ONLY for hr and basic sleep tracking, anyone know an affordable option?
10 months ago

Since the Garmin and Fitbit were not enough for you, your expectations might be too high. Sleep tracking would never be very accurate no matter how expensive the watch is. I have used some cheap (less than 100) fitness trackers and so far Mi Band 9 Pro works well enough in my opinion. It does all you want (HR tracking, sleep monitoring, high/low HR alert) and also has basic smart features such as notifications, GPS, weather app, timer, alarm, compass etc. Mi Fitness app is easy to navigate. It does not fail to detect my actual sleep, but thought I was sleeping while I was just resting and not moving my arm for few times in the past several months. You can delete the fake sleep session on the app so it was not an issue in my opinion. The only slightly annoying thing about its sleep tracking is that it calls sleep shorter than 3 hours 'nap' and does not record sleep stages. Overall I am happy with my purchase.

r/motorolaDid anyone actually buy the Moto Watch Fit?
7 months ago

I also bought the moto watch fit last week online at [bol.com](http://bol.com) for 80 euros. It looks nice but can not hold the candle to fe the xiaomi smart band 9 pro and the amazfit active 2 (which i also own). The software is very basic,and i noticed you can not delete saved workouts!! The only good things in this watch imho are the long battery time and the outside looks. For all the rest i actualy would use other fitness trackers or a real smartwatch. It takes the time automaticaly via your smartphone,as i am in the Netherlands it took automaticaly the 24 hour system. BTW this watch can NOT be paired with iOS ..!! so it only works with android. The pairing of this watch with my android phone took me about 30 min....and was not without a few hassels. So iow not a smooth process. The stepcounter is acurate...and thats about it. Wasted 80 euros here. Not recommended. For this kind of money there are way better fitness trackers to be had!!

r/mibandShould You Buy the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro? Here's What You Need to Know!
5 months ago

my cons: - no physical power button - no way to turn off thermal protection - custom charging cable (just use a type c, mfs) - no nfc - no way to turn off bluetooth - no way to order icons in home screen mostly software related issues. fun fact: if thermal protection happen, it will auto shut down. id you dont have the cable with you, you ll have a useless watch until you get home. (yeah it happened to me)

The Redmi Watch 5 is a good option in your case. The Smartband 9 Pro also has GPS and is more comfortable. It doesn't get the Active; it doesn't have GPS and is the worst on the list. The Xiaomi Smartband 10 is the most comfortable on the list, but it doesn't have GPS. The Watch 5 takes up a good amount of space on the wrist, it's comfortable but doesn't have the same purpose as the other devices. And it's probably the most complete on the list. If price isn't a problem, the Redmi Watch 5 and Xiaomi Smartband 9 Pro. If it is, get the Band 10, but it doesn't have GPS. It's far from the Redmi Watch 5 Active; it has a rather poor LCD screen. And, if I'm not mistaken, the Redmi Watch 5 allows you to put music on it and play it independently of your phone.

The biggest difference is the size; the Watch 5 is much larger, while the 9 Pro is better and more comfortable. But both are very comfortable. And the Watch 5 has a better, more complex and complete system, in addition to looking more "Premium". Regarding the Watch 6, Xiaomi and its brands never make absurd changes between generations; they bet more on small evolutions that add up over time. The Watch 6 probably won't be much better.

If you're on a budget or are looking for something that wears smaller, the Mi Band 9 or 10 (9 pro if you need built-in GPS) are interesting and really cheap. The sensors and overall ux are probably a bit better on most Amazfit devices, but the Xiaomi smart bands are still pretty decent especially if you take the price (roughly 30-60 usd) into account.

I've got a P10 pro, the 'smartwatch' I've got connected to it is a Xiaomi MI Band 9 pro. I like it's affordability and great battery life compared to a PW. Also I only use the basics, for which the Xiaomi is perfect.

r/OculusQuestBest budget fitness tracker watch to replace Move?
11 months ago

I use the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro It's perfect for fitness, with the ability to set your favorite sports as widgets, on the watch . I've shortened 6 sports games, Kayak ping-pong, Archery, Tennis, Combat Cardio, HIIT. For Beat Saber, depending on your level, you can use Ping-pong or HIIT. You can even choose something else with the help of an AI. I paid €70 for my Band 9 Pro, but if you're American, thanks to your 'fantastic' president, you might not be able to find a cheap watch on Amazon anymore, with a 104% tax on products bought in China...

Xiaomi "pro" band series is a little bit bigger than just a "band", they are rectangle and still smaller than smartwatch, but as it is xiaomi... Well, mine is lagging after less then a year of usage... And never buy "active" series, those are totally useless and stupid

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.
