design, battery life, watch the vibration on the alarm clock is very weak, it's impossible to wake up with it.  Andrey B.: use Xiaomi Mi Band 2 more than year |
Before this model, I had the first version, wore it for about a month, and got bored. At first it was fun to track steps, heart rate, all that stuff, but over time I checked the app less and less. After about three months I only wear it at night as an alarm—that’s really the only worthwhile feature, since it wakes you up less harshly than a phone. Notifications are convenient too, but I’m not a prime minister, so it’s not the end of the world if I miss a call or message. I ordered a different strap from China—they even included a screen protector, which was kind of funny. Water resistance is a big plus, of course; you can swim with it without worry. Overall, it’s a fun gadget, but I toyed with it and got bored quickly. Not a must-have. Long battery life, notifications, alarm I don't find it very comfortable to wear it for days. Viktor S.: use Xiaomi Mi Band 2 few months |
Unfortunately or fortunately, I have nothing to compare it to — it’s my first fitness tracker. Apart from one issue (listed under cons), it works fine: all notifications come through, and it wakes me up normally. As for the smart alarm, it will keep waking you until it detects activity — until you get up and walk around. And unfortunately, I haven’t really used the band as a fitness tracker yet, so I can’t say much about that, but I think it will handle its job. *smartwatch :) *raise your wrist to see the time *comfortable, fits well on the wrist *holds a charge well *the band’s alarm is much nicer than the regular phone alarm *and I guess it shows the battery level The smart alarm I was expecting isn’t there, but that’s purely a software thing—I think they’ll polish it up and add it in updates. There was a firmware glitch: raise-to-wake didn’t trigger correctly when I lifted my wrist, and I was about to return it (they fixed it with an update) :). There’s probably some inaccuracy in step counting; I’ll need to check more closely. Sometimes it measures heart rate incorrectly, but that’s likely because the band isn’t snug enough. Valentin K.: use Xiaomi Mi Band 2 week i recommend it should buy |
The announcement of the second generation of a fitness tracker from the Chinese company Xiaomi came exactly at the very beginning of summer 2016. But this does not mean that at another time of the year it will lose its relevance.
small screen
The main difference between the fitness tracker and its predecessor models (Xiaomi Mi Band and Xiaomi Mi Band Pulse) lies in the presence of a small 0.42" OLED display, which shows the time and displays data on the number of steps taken, calories burned, heart rate and distance covered. The watch works only “on call”: either when you turn your wrist with a bracelet, or when you press the touch key at the bottom of the module, which is also responsible for switching between the specified parameters.
Accurate Count
The form factor of the bracelet has remained the same — the whole design consists of a hypoallergenic silicone strap and a capsule fixed in it. On the side of the module, which is adjacent to the hand, there was a place for an optical heart rate monitor. It accurately counts the number of heartbeats. The same applies to the distance traveled — the improved calculation algorithm no longer counts some hand movements as steps.
Sleep quality
In addition to the functions of a fitness tracker, the bracelet is entrusted with the mission of monitoring the quality of sleep. The device almost accurately determines the time of falling asleep and waking up of its owner and monitors the phases of his sleep (deep and fast). The data is displayed in the proprietary MiFit application, which is famous for its intuitive and friendly interface.
Forget about recharging
In the step counting mode, when using the heart rate monitor function a couple of times a day, the fitness tracker is ready to serve its owner up to 20 days without recharging. At the same time, you can not be afraid to take it with you to the shower or wear it in the rain — dust and water protection according to the IP67 standard will protect the device from failure.

The second version immediately made me happy by having a display. That was really missing. To keep the display from getting damaged, I put on a protective film for extra peace of mind. In direct sunlight it’s hard to make out what’s on the screen, but it’s not critical.
I mostly use the band as a watch and a step counter. The heart rate feature is interesting, but in practice you rarely need it (unless you’re an amateur athlete). It measures steps and heart rate with small inaccuracies. The battery lasts 50–60 days (with notifications off and heart rate measured rarely). It paired with the phone without any hassle, updated right away, and set the time. By the way, the watch feature is a separate joy. A small thing, but nice. It shows sleep phases if you set it up correctly. Overall, the app is very convenient and easy to understand. I’ve come across slightly cheaper bands where the manufacturer just didn’t bother with the app and never updated it. That’s not the case here.
With increased activity, the strap can quietly come undone and you can lose it. Also, over time the strap’s slot for the tracker module stretched out. It’s nice that you can buy a bunch of different straps cheaply from China, in any style and color (though they’re a bit worse than the originals—the rubber is stiffer).
