Xiaomi - Smart Band 9 Pro

I am a cheap person and very sentimental, so I am just hsing the Xiaomi band 9 pro my parents got me. It's surely within that budget range you mentionnee. It works fine for swimming so far, been using it for over a month. Downside is that you need to tap the edge after each lap or it won't count the lap correctly but most of the time when I forgot it will correct itself the lap after. Somehow it doesn't log my heartbeat during swim session though.

miband 9 pro has been excellent for me, does everything the more expensive ones do

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...

I have the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 pro as a gift. At first, I was not a fan of smart watches akala ko di siya need, pero ganda pala niya gamitin. I use the treadmill on weekdays and lalabas din pace mo kahit nasa treadmill lang. I used the GPS once sa outdoor running and maganda siya gamitin. After each run, lalabas yung details ng run and GPS sa Xiaomi app, Then just open strava lalabas din yung details ng run dun. Pero may slight difference lang sa data ng time, distance, pace. Lalabas din yung map ng GPS dun. Haba rin ng battery life, I only use it tuwing tatakbo 1 hr a day. I have only charged it once so far since I received it nung new year.

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.

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

I’m having a hard time tracking my swim laps with the mi band 9, I usually swim a 50m or 25m pool and I notice it keeps disconnecting to Bluetooth with my apple 15 pro iPhone I wonder, do you your phone relatively close to one end of the pool or, how do you position your phone to get those results. Been really bad for me so far - just with the swim tracking. Other than that I love the band too !!

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.

Hello! I would like to present my recent feedback about HR monitoring with MiBand 9. During the day it meauseres just fine (working at my laptop, cooking, etc and even within intense periods like working out, the HR sensor works fine). However, at night, while I'm sitting/lying in the couch watching some TV, the band starts record values like 125-130bpm . When I manually start measure HR, it starts at 125-130bpm and after that goes down to 55-50-46bpm. In the next minute it's high again - and I still remained relaxed in the couch...Do you have any insight on how to avoid this? (Besides throwing it away of course).

For a cheap watch, I just bought a mi band 9 and it seems to count my laps pretty well. I just put in the length of the pool and it seems to count accurately. I do find the numbers hard to read under the water. Hope this helps.

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.

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'd say be careful with Whoop. It's a subscription based service PLUS needing to buy the device at which rate you may as well just buy a solid Garmin. Whoop reviews are overall pretty negative.

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

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
