Appearance and Design:
The design of the smart strip is somewhat reminiscent of the Smart tape of Sony. It is black with silver accents. The bracelet is made of soft cheap plastic and the remaining units of a harder plastic. In the smart band of Sony, there was a much more pleasant plastic that has nestled inconspicuously quasi wrist. When Mi-band that is not quite like that. The difference in quality in the materials making their presence felt but surprisingly little. The band One spurt, but it is not unpleasant. As far as very good. The design also pleases me well. The 3 LEDs on the front pages are great and better placed than Sony!
-> 4.5 / 5 because of the cheaper material. Other Smart tapes carry still a tick better :)
Function:
The Mi-band can .. steps include .. sleep .. tracken Vibrate (wake me, notify me with calls, etc.) but can the Mi-band all well? I really have to say the band for a while now in use and needs. Yes !. The steps are recorded surprisingly good and the sleep is recorded prima and in my opinion very accurate. The Awakening with the band is working fine and is very pleasant.
-> 5/5 because I have nothing to complain about
Software:
In the software, there is a hook. It is largely based on English but some parts are in Chinese. That does not bother because the important things are in English and understandable. The app itself has a very clear and beautiful to look at overview of all functions. Have had no crashes or other of them and I am very surprised. The only thing I had to do was make an account on the website of Xiaomi, which in many leads the SMS verification problems.
-> 4/5 there still a little room for improvement, especially for the German market
Battery life:
The battery lasts forever simply. I have the tape now so lost already 2 weeks or by the hand and only 12%. I'm strongly assume that I loosely creating two months on a single charge. This is truly phenomenal! I've never seen! The charge funktionier via the supplied cable (Mi-band USB). An extra adapter for the power outlet is not included.
-> 5/5 just great!
Conclusion?
The Mi-band is certainly competitive with other smart strips. If you are looking for a band which steps are, to record sleep and sometimes wake them gently, they are exactly right. For a price (at Tinydeals) of 15 to do absolutely nothing wrong and I was able to make very many people happy with it already! Although one must unfortunately renounce a heart rate monitor or on an extra screen but the battery life speaks for itself.
I hope you enjoyed my review. I would be glad about reviews. If you have questions I will be happy to assist and answer as soon as possible :)
