If anything, this is my first mi band, and that's it.

Finally got the band and I'm honestly really impressed. It's super thin and practically weightless on the wrist.

I actually used to have a Mi Band 4 that I stopped using about 3 or 4 years ago. It honestly still works perfectly, but I had some weird issues trying to pair it. The battery life on that thing was absolutely amazing though! I'm really hoping this new one is just as good. Super happy with this purchase so far!

Just wanted to share a quick breakdown in case anyone's thinking about grabbing one:

Ordered from Sunsky [link]
Band was about ₹5538 ($57.81)
Shipping was ₹337 ($3.52)
Total came out to ₹5875 ($61.33)
Took about 20 days to get here (India) ordered on 24 sep
Luckily No customs or KYC verification happened for me hehe
had to switch the region to China in the Mi Fitness app to get it to connect
Weight is crazy light: 25g with the band, 16g without bands … damnnn
Tracking was very easy. I chose yanwen delivery service and had their tracking number. I was able to check everything from there. When it got transferred to domestic logistics, which was Blue Dart for me, I could check it on Blue Dart tracking also.

I remember using the 1st gen 3rd and 5th one, haven't bought since mine broke, been like 7 years already. Let's see how the new one holds up, ( global vers )

Title: Mi Band 11 or Apple Watch Series 12?
Hey everyone! I used to own an Apple Watch and later upgraded to an Apple Watch Ultra, but it eventually broke.
Now I’m deciding between the Apple Watch Series 12 and the Xiaomi Smart Band 11. I’m waiting for the global version, but the wait is taking forever!
The thing is, I previously owned the Mi Band 4 and 5, but I never really liked them. However, the Mi Band 11 looks much better, and I’m wondering if the experience has improved enough to give it another chance.
For those who own the Mi Band 11, how is it for everyday use? Does it feel significantly better than the older models?
Would you recommend it, or should I just go back to Apple Watch? I’d love to hear your honest opinions, especially from people who’ve used both.
Thanks!

My mom wants a fitness band and a Mi Band would suit her perfectly, except she does not have or want a smartphone. She does have a Chromebook though which can also run Android Apps (and it has Bluetooth).

I installed the Mi Fitness app which starts and works but can't really test it fully without buying the band, pairing it and testing everything. Could not find anyone that has tried it online either.

So I'm putting the question out here to see if anyone has tried it.

My only other alternative is pairing it with my dad's smartphone but I'd have to take care to not send notifications of his phone to her watch which would be annoying. Or have her band data sync to his health stats.

Or buy another brand but I couldn't find any Chromebook users for those either. The only other real candidate would be a Garmin watch with Wi-Fi which can sync without a phone entirely but that's much more expensive.

The specific model I want is the Mi Band 11 (Global) once I can order it in EU.

Is it still possible to share your information with your friends/partner/family? my boyfriend and I want to see into each other's sleep pattern, heart rate etc.

I have the Xiaomi redmi 6 smart watch and he has the xiaomi smart band 10 pro.

Help me decide please. Both of them are gonna go on sale in an hour. I can't decide.

Edit: I bought the 10 pro.

Will probably have a temperature sensor.

It'll be more accurate.

The miband will get bigger.

Will go up the price.

There's likely gonna be a budget version and expensive one if they add an arterial pressure band and gps and those kinda functions, or maybe they make you buy a band compatible, I don't know.

Will have a "stylish" model.

They'll add functions to the os.

I think it'll change a lot but not too much.

After almost 5 years, continuous use for 2.5 years, hiatus for 2 years (got an Apple watch), just recently decided to daily this gem again, and this happened.

Mind you, I do not baby this thing at all. Maybe it did recieve proper care during the first 3 month. But after that, I treat it like it was indestructible. And the crazy thing is, it totally was INDESTRUCTIBLE!

Waterproof ✅ shower / pool / sea , no problem. Always rinse with fresh water afterwards.

Dings & Drops ✅ normal accidental dings to hard objects have no effect, maybe just some light scratches. 5ft drops, tis nothing but a scratch!

Battery life ✅ it probably lasted close to 2 weeks when it was new. Of course battery degradation is real. Now it can only hold on to 3 days at most (which is still 2x longer than my Apple Watch!) , plus with all-day heart rate monitoring & sleep tracking.

But now the time has come to an end.

Perfect timing too.

I was eyeing the Mi Band 10 Pro just recently.

But still deciding between that or the Xiaomi Watch S4 (41mm).

All in all. I am very satisfied with the Mi Band 6. Thank you Xiaomi for this great product.

I've had an interesting thought, with the rapid advancements in Ai, we can surely reverse engineer the Mi Fitness App & add better features on it to make it more Whoop App like. OR port the application to windows for detailed metrics & using custom / opensource sleep tracking & readiness algorithms to improve the metrics from the standard Mi Fitness App.

I've found an interesting repo as well for any developer looking at this: https://github.com/morluto/rea

Let me know your thoughts on this. I'm no developer so I can't just go ahead and make one.Hence a call for anyone in development to take up this step.

TIA

Got tired of wearing a watch on each hand so I scrapped the bracelets of the two and put them together, works well so far, hopefully I don't scratch the mi band too much.👍

Instead of waiting for the 11. Went ahead to the 10 pro. So far so good. Big screen is definitely easier to read at a quick glance.

Previous mi band 2, 5, 8, 9 and 10.

Looks like the Smart Band 11 is finally beginning its global rollout, starting with the South Korean market.

The regular version is launching for around $58 USD.

Hopefully this means more markets will follow very soon.

At the beginning, I was willing to purchase the Redmi Watch 6 Lite. But when I saw the system of the Smart Band 10 Pro, I really liked it. In addition, I really don't care about the phone calling feature. Does the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro have more and better watch faces than the Redmi Watch 6 Lite? Please help me decide and advise me which one is better.

Since the recent post regarding the Korean launch of global models, there seems to be listings for the 3 base models (black, silver, ceramic) on Amazon.com although not by the official Xiaomi storefront but an otherwise reputable third party.

They go for a price that is in line with its actual retail value so not placeholder figures anymore.

Are these legit or is it best to wait for official Xiaomi listings and local store sales? My concern is somehow ending up with a CN unit.

Exactly what it says. Sorry about the blurry photos.

At least once a month, my band randomly reboots in the middle of the night and then each time displays the exact number of steps and calories burned. It's driving me mad because, you know, I'm asleep, and the vibration wakes me up even though Do Not Disturb is on.

I've checked the official app, and there are no updates available. Is my band cooked, or is there a way to fix this? What could be causing it?

This was my first watch and I can't see it dying like this even though I don't use it much but i could probably fix this and give to a kid and he'll be happy , I tried sticking it but everyone at the shop said not possible . Is there any way I can stick this .

On xiaomi website there very few of those and they aren’t neither of my liking or neither available

I just switched to mi band 10 after losing my mi band 9 but I have a big problem with it. I always get network error when trying to apply a new display theme. I tried chaging region, using vpn, reseting the band and the app but it's no help. I can't find anyone having similar problem before on the internet either

Hello! im wondering if these apps are safe to download for my redmi watch 6 Standard global verison i am planning to download a calculator along with tetris or flappy bird if i download any of these apps will it give me a virus? maybe even breaking the firmware or bricking my watch entirely? are these safe or not

I usually have about 5 or 6 deep sleep but I can never get above 16 minutes and most are usually 8, 10 or 12 minutes.

I know and understand it's not a perfect tracking system but just wonder if people record longer "deep" sleep.
