Personally I bought the Redmi Watch 3 Active. Mi Band 8 screen was small for me, and also I don't like that shape. If someone needs Bluetooth calling feature, then buy the watch.

[@KNACKSKILL]

thanks!

[@AntiT3rror]

Hey, can you tell me if speaker and microphone are reliable in Watch 3? Is it atleast loud enough to use indoors?

[@KNACKSKILL]

Hi Anti, upon experienced indoor outdoor call using RW3 Active is load and clear. Yes it is reliable but at list make it near closer to your mouth. Thanks

[@daiena_rabinovich]

Hi i personally also buy watch 3 active because it’s nearly impossible to read the screen on the bands because it’s simply too small.

[@ojgfhuebsrnvn2781]

Can i ask the name of the homecreen of mi band 8? I have bad sight and would like to use this homescreen instead of original one with straps.

[@KNACKSKILL]

Hi Ojg, watch face name is "Double Stripe? for mi band 8. Hope this help. Thanks

[@mendelrocks6678]

Can you easily tell that mi band 3 active is lcd? Or its not big difference against oled mi band 8

[@KNACKSKILL]

Hi Mendel, Yes active 3 is just an LCD display but even it is LCD it is still visible day and night, the deference with MB8 Amoled display is more brighter and clear and sharp. LCD use Liquid Crystal Displays than AMOLED Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diodes that more upgraded AMOLED displays mostly offer better image quality with vibrant colors and true blacks. Hope this help. Thanks

[@KNACKSKILL]

Hi this two has no built-in GPS they using advance and good sensors for tracking your body movements for workouts like steps and more for health monitoring. I suggest Redmi Watch 3 or 4 had a Independent satellite positioning Track your workout route anytime, but a bit pricy. I like more the Mi Band 9 even no bluetooth call it is good and light weight for workouts on my opinion. But it defend in your budget and needs. Thanks

[@jesr8684]

Which one is more accurate in active tracking like heart rate, run distance tracking etc..?

[@KNACKSKILL]

They both can help tracking and it gives good result in numbers but it is not 100% accurate for distance tracking, walking, running. Because count are 2, 4 8 and sometimes it is skips it is not 1, 2, 3, 4. For resting heart rate they both okay and SPO2 but always remember this watches are not for medical use, instead go to your doctor. For me for workouts I will use the small one. Hope this help.

Hi Ale, they both good but no exact counts, for steps numbers and run exercises. count is skipping and not 100% accurate. MB8 advance for 6 or 8 counts and RW3Active more than 10 counts. Dont expect to much for a budget range. for the price this is okay. Thanks

Hi, I like the watch look. But the bracelet also looks good. Which one do you recommend for daily use? There doesn't seem to be a significant feature difference. That's why I'm thinking of buying the smartwatch. What are your thoughts?

[@KNACKSKILL]

Hi Husey, thanks for asking. Both have a good for dailly watch with long life battery. Mi band 8 has amoled display with AOD design. Redmi Watch 3 Active good for easy access call for it is support with bluetooth call with built-in mic and speaker. You dont need to get your smartphone into your bag or wallet, you can direct answer call into your watch. That Mi Band 8 dont have. If you want a big screen like apple watch with bluetooth phone call go get active 3. If you want a small band I recommend mi band 8. Thanks hope this help.

No need to turn it off ma'am, nag auto off naman yan kong hindi mo gagamitin babaan mo, make the brightness display low yung pinaka mababa niya at off mo muna yung cellphone bluetooth mo para hindi siya maka receive ng notification messages mo to save more battery. But it's up to you pwedi mo rin naman siyang i turn off. But normally ang smartwatch umaabot naman ng 14days bago ka mag charge ulit, ang apple watch lang naman ang isang araw lang or swerti kana sa dalawang araw low bat na he he. Thanks
