Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6

Ordered a Chinese version, got a global one (was hoping for it when ordering). Wasn't charged. Charged to 99% at home, easily connected to the app. For me it's mostly a toy that shows time and counts your steps (sleep count is also fun). If you need something more serious, like your blood pressure, watch for huawei watch that is 2 times more expensive or an apple watch. Good seller overall, fast delivery from China. Bought on sale for 2600 Rubles (would never buy it for 5000 rubles like some ppl in the reviews, lol. It's a price of Huawei watch). Order a nylon strap with it bc it's more comfortable than a silicone one (also hot in a heat).

Best yet, at a quarter of the price.

I bought this for my son as a basic smartwatch to measure his steps during the 1st lockdown, but it's so good we now all have one too. It's long battery life makes it miles better than the more expensive brand name Smart watches the hubby and I had, and still has most of the same features! Connect to phone, music, different workouts types, map your workout route etc. The heart rate monitor is accurate. The sleep monitoring of deep sleep, vs light sleep with REM is fascinating and showed us we needed to take some steps to adjust to get more deep sleep.The strap is a different type of catch, but does actually hold (through sailing, hockey and surfing). There are different colour straps too, that are cheap to buy - my niece likes to colour coordinate hers.You do ... MoreI bought this for my son as a basic smartwatch to measure his steps during the 1st lockdown, but it's so good we now all have one too.

Good value, Good features, Basic app

Great value, basic fitness tracker, bought for my 10yr old son, would be just as good for an adult. I had to register it to me as it cannot be registered to a child, but not really a problem. Got this at a great price £24.95 price elsewhere at around £40. Great features for the money, can track workouts, count steps, heart rate monitor, sleep monitor, waterproof and lots more, has loads of fun watch faces included with app great for kids/young adults. App very basic, qr code in the instructions takes you to 2 dowloadable apps, only 1 worked with my brand of devices, but for the money excellent value, does twice as much as the famous branded ones aimed at kids for half the money.

Great Budget Fitness watch

I bought this to track my steps, and it's been great for hikes when I connect it to my phone, it'll show me the route, calories burned etc.It'll also tell me the quality of my sleep on my app.It tracks my cycle too.I've had comments that it's nice and colourful unlike other watches.You can buy different strap styles online.It charges really fast, like within 2 hoursAll in all a great purchase, and on offer too.I picked it because it was the most budget friendly of the latest versions of smart watched within the budget range

Great privacy-friendly band, but...

To entirely benefit from this fitness tracker *without* revealing your data to China regularly, you may use Gadgetbridge by following this guide https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Huami-Server-PairingThe real downside is that it's not possible to use handy features, such as Timer or Stopwatch, when in Workout mode. Only Music and Notifications are available. Maybe this can be fixed in a future update.

Great product, replaced my apple watch

Brought this while looking around to replace my broken apple watch. Amazing little product, does everything I want.Heart Rate - checkBloody oyxgen - checkSleep analysis - checkStress tracker - checkScreen is really vibrant and the app offers a lot of customised watch faces to select from. Also the battery lasts for absolutely ages. Honestly not sure why anybody would shell out a few hundred pounds for a smart watch when this does everything for a fraction of the price.

Habib's review of Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6 [Launch Offer]

Pros: Does everything you want a smart watch to do i.e. time, alarm, fitness tracking, notifications (can't respond on the watch). The main selling point here is the battery life. I'm getting one week consistently. Maybe if you turn brightness and other settings like raise to wake off you can get closer to 14days claimed.Cons: Would be nice if you could answer calls so that when you're driving and connected to the car..( you can cut calls tho ?).

Lots of features for the price

I've had this for about a month now and I'm really happy with it. For the price, there is an excellent range of features including sleep tracking. It's also comfortable to wear and has different display styles available. I originally bought this to track sleep patterns but it's be actually helped to motivate me to improve my overall fitness. Would highly recommend.

Mike's review of Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6 [Launch Offer]

Pros: Had the '3' previously, it did it's job well and I thought it was time for an upgrade. This seems to be more of the same with updates and better features, better charging type and the same great battery life. Screen is noticeably brighter than my '3' which was a big drawback and I can see it easily enough when outdoors. Is it accurate? It's certainly seems repeatable which is the main thing if keeping track of things. One big thing, it cost less than 10% of what my partners iWatch did and isn't that far out when we compare and if I lose or damage this it's not the end of the world. I can live with a little inaccuracy for that price especially when all we're really doing is 'gamifying' health and fitness.Cons: Not at this price. Strap is similar to previous on ... MorePros: Had the '3' previously, it did it's job well and I thought it was time for an upgrade.

Smart Band 6 comes with some difficulties

Bought this recently but it would not pair with either my mobile or with my android. Initially I ticked to have it synced to other devices. This did not work on either mobile or android. I then deleted the whole thing and started again a couple of hours later. Again, got to the point where it was to pair with the smart band. Again nothing happened. I read the instructions fully so I don't think I was at fault. Got fed up with it. Will go back to it at some stage. I got this because it was cheap, maybe that's the problem, but I can't afford some of the other options, too expensive.
