XiaomiMi Smart Band 6-1.56'' AMOLED Touch Screen, SPO2, Sleep Breathing Tracking, 5ATM Water Resistant, 14 Days Battery Life, 30 Sports Mode, Fitness, Steps, Sleep, Heart Rate Monitor [Official UK]

The media could not be loaded. The mi band 6 is brilliant and you would be hard pressed to find a tracker better under the £50 price mark. I did extensive research, and besides the Huawei band 6 ( which is slightly more pricey), the mi band 6 gives you the best bang for your buck.The screen is exceptional quality, with a brightness of 4.5 nits. I have never had an issue with the screen, and it looks beautiful, although after a while you do start to notice the bessels, but they are significantly smaller than that of the 5. You can set any photo you wish as your watch screen, which is a huge plus.The functionality is amazing. I mostly use mine for step counting and cycling, and the odd gym exercise, and I can safely say the tracking won't disappoint, although if your expecting accuracy to the metre, this isn't for you. There are also 30 workout modes which really add to the appeal, but really only if you have an interest in obscure activities.The interface is instructive and fully customisable, except the icons themselves. The ability to have multiple icons on one screen makes for a far improved user experience, and the multi-directional swiping from the watch face makes it feel far less cramped.The app is brilliant for basic uses, but since mi fit and Xiaomi wear each have their own draw backs and advantages it's worth testing each, but even so both are useable.Now for the drawbacks, and for those who aren't needlessly picky the issues I have are few and far between. First off the PAI has an unusual issue where the day doesn't change sometimes, but this can be fixed in an update.Secondly, there's no 24/7 SpO2 monitoring, but that can't be expected at this price point. Thirdly, the battery life, with no features turned on or used whatsoever is amazing, but in reality if you're buying this watch, you probably intend to use these. With a decent screen brightness that doesn't leave you squinting, and tracking features that make the watch worthwhile, this cuts from about two weeks to just over 5 days. This isn't the worst in the world though, and you can always cut back on features on a week away to ensure it lasts.On the whole this is a top fitness tracker on a budget, if not the best, but if you can afford the Huawei band 6 I would suggest giving that a look too.

Bought these Years ago and till now work Perfectly for me and my daughter.Battery life is amazing works for a good week b4 needs recharging.Good Value for money as has enough nifty setting.The band is easy to wear, comfortable and doesn't just drop off. Good quality.

Like a lot of other reviewers this is my first fitness tracker band so I cannot comment on how this band compares to other tracker bands in that price class. But I am really thrown by how much technique you can get these days for £30!Me, bloke in his 50ties looking for a device to record some basic fitness data for his 2-3 running and 1-2 tennis sessions per week. I have a nice "normal" watch already. So did not want to run around with two watches on my arms. Besides I did not need really most of the advanced aspects which smart watches are offering.Like most of us I have searched the whole market particuliarly the lower end and could not find much difference in the reviews of the low cost trackers. In the end it was between a tracker with Alexa or without.So here are my points:- make sure that you order from reputable dealer (check where they are located and their review history). It seems that there are some fake bands sold on Amazon coming in white rather than the original black box)- the instructions coming with the band 6 asking you to download the Xiaomi wear app rather than the MI app which all the reviews are talking about. It looks better than the MI app BUT it does not currently sync with GOOGLE Fit nor with MY FITNESS PAL (or I was too dumb to make it work)- It can be a bit of a struggle for the non IT skilled to set everything up particuliarly syncing notifications with other apps if you are using non MI apps to track your health parameters and those apps are not set up to sync with Band 6. Most of the time you will get around this by downloading GOOGLE FIT and use it as a go-between-battery life is ok I guess and depends really on your set up (how often O2/ HR recording, automatic work out detection etc). I use quite frequent recordings and it last about 5-7 daysPros:-great value-very crisp display (unless in bright sun light)-easy navigating between the different functions on the band-accurate HR monitoring (compared it with professional equipment at work)-fairly accurate O2 readings (about within 2% tolerance) which is not worse than professional equipment and too be honest you do not need more accurate readings!-control your music app (e.g. SPOTIFY) on your phone via the band-control incoming calls, WHATSUP, sms messages with the band-huge choice of activities to choose from. Some of them are claimed to start automatically when band is recognizing their activity patternCons:-You will struggle to read the writing on the band if you have age related changes to your sight. If you need reading classes to read words on a Laptop you probably will also need them to read words on the band. But I guess that would apply to all bands of that size.-It can be fiddly to set it up for the non IT skilled as mentioned above-not sure about the accuracy of the sleep data recording. Interesting feature if it would work properly. But cannot see how it could without measuring other parameters. To measure REM phases you need more advanced technique which a watch or band cannot offer (yet)-display is difficult to see in bright sun light-Does not do ALEXA-why is there no TENNIS activity amongst 36 options! Do they not play tennis in China?-DATA! You are giving away a lot of data using these devices and most of them are Chinese (not saying that your data is safer with AMAZON, GOOGLE or FACEBOOK!) But worth to think about it for a moment (or two!)
