Xiaomi - Smart Band 9 Series

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Soundpeats Mi band 8 or 9 , idk the model Redmi watch 4 Etc

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

mi band 9 unang gamit ko need mo ng phone para sa gps nito medyo maliit ang screen ok nmn sa hr customize din sa pagtakbo sync agad sa strava sa simula ng pagtakbo papalo ng mataas hr mo after mga ilang min na babasa na niya hr mo nag switch ako sa huaweiband9 sakto screen wala din gps maganda sa huawei ay may reminder kada 1km ilang min pace at hr sa mi band 9 vibration lang para ma remind ka na taas hr mo or naka 1km kana

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?
