Bought a mi band 3 on release while I was in Hong Kong and I still use it today! Strap eventually breaks but the device is incredible value for the money

[@MichaelElsegood]

Ahhhh I miss being able to visit HK

[@peternystrom921]

My strap broke on my 5 and was checking out the 7 but i see no point changing. Best value i ever.

[@pikaa6577]

Same

[@awesomeSnowy]

Same, still using my mi band 3

[@josephorelien3192]

The worst thing about this band are the straps lol. When I bought the 5 I immediately got a sturdier strap

[@MrSmithees]

the STRESS woke me up damn. haha I was watching this as I have just purchased one and the voice was relaxing until that part. hahaha

[@IrtazaKamran-lm9ko]

Mi bands are underrated tbh the pricing is amazing and the older models are still bomb and simplistic

[@sleepat68m]

brother, it is bloody 12:30 am. wearing headphone and did not expect this bloody 4:58

[@loveisthething]

It's called humor. Is ment to make you laugh

[@MichaelElsegood]

So perhaps I was wrong about the price! I found it cheaper at around $38! Link in the description 👍

[@taffeiteworld9768]

Hi if ican dowload app how ican

[@ludalomade1127]

i had to buy it for 80😫😫😫(with shipping)

[@Watch_me2023]

So I've just received my mi band 7 and so far I'm loving it! I want to know what workout option should I select if I'm doing weighted cable crunches at the gym as I'm not sure if it would fall under core training, strength, indoor fitness or freestyle? I would appreciate the help thanks!

[@mnb1290]

Hi, Michael. Is pedometer accurate? What is the best Xiaomi fitness band in you opinion? Thanks

[@varunbansal7242]

Amazing video. How's the accuracy on this and does it include jump rope exercise.

[@nefariou5]

used the mi band 2 for years, absolutely loved it and the 1 month battery life was incredible. eventually, the screen became too dim to read so upgraded to a mi band 6, and the terrible battery and oversized shape really was a difficult adjutment. so why are they making it even bigger on the 7? as the 7 pro shows, this thing is becoming another amazfit bip. i ended up just buying a bip, it's less comically sized and shaped. they really shouldve stuck with the long battery life and small size.

[@parsaplayz4857]

well there are ways to increase battery life on the 7 like the battery saver mode which i personally wouldnt use bc of the reduced features but if you're looking for more battery thats for u

[@mumdoohsiddiqui6047]

I personally think that band 7 is incredible for the money and options, i am using mi6 now and the battery works just over 2 weeks

[@scottmcgougan2658]

My Band 7 I believe to have a couple of bugs but not sure if it's just mine maybe defective. Would love to hear people's thoughts. It's basically I don't find the music controls responsive. The volume down is fine, but the volume up and skip tracks just don't work well at all, barely work. Yet they appear to work better when no music is playing, so assume it's maybe a software issue? My Band 6 was flawless on the controls front.

[@tom16888]

How the notification from iphone looks like on mi band? Is it put all text on screen or we need to wait thr e text scrolling?

[@ChrisAbramsArt]

You've earned a sub just for... STRESSS! I nearly pooped myself... 😁

[@Reelion]

Is there a way to check when it will be available in the UK?

[@noelh1254]

Just beginning to use Mi band7. How do I get notification on my band when my phone received a text message? It is the feature I mostly use. Thanks.

[@eliekarra3775]

Hello, does it connect to Samsung health app and work with it perfectly?

[@atomcraft3698]

I was thinking of getting this or the Fitbit inspire 3. Which one is better in features and day to day use without a cellphone?

[@ThePoutingPanda]

Not sure if you already brought one but I have both and prefer the mi band for the screen size and daily usage. I'm not a big fitness person so my main use is notifications and time along side sleep monitoring

[@vyuu45]

Does the pace and km in the watch accurate?

[@r2dailyfitness890]

Only lunatics will read ebooks in smart band hahahaha

[@ssmaria]

I remember when STRESS machines where the size of a briefcase, now they fit on a wrist

[@languagetraveller]

Is it waterproof? I had Mi Band 5 for almost a year and used it in shower and swimming pool all the time, but yesterday the screen stopped working after pool. So I wonder if mi band 7 is worth it...

[@song1861]

my Mi band 6 strap broke and where i can find a replacement? i ordered some from amazon but it not the same as the original one.

[@jamieregan2467]

I just bought one of these for swimming. Doesn't seem to be very responsive when the screen and my finger are wet (a bit of a problem for swimming) and when I've finished my swimming, I have to swipe the screen FOUR times to pause the timer. It took me 12 seconds the other day. What's the point of a timer if it adds 12 seconds on to your time? I don't understand why it's like this. Oh, and it misses lengths. I clearly can't have swam an odd number of lengths if I've finished at the same end of the pool as I started.

[@peter572]

Can I store a NFC tag into the phone and then use the Mi 7 Band to open a door with the NFC code? If yes, how is this done?

[@thomHD]

I loved this out of the box, but still ended up sending it back because the distance tracking is so poor without a smart phone/4G - consistently 15-20% off. If you need to take your phone with you anyway this thing is entirely redundant.

[@shikiwoo]

Is there a difference between the CN and the global version or is it like the Band 4 where the CN version updates itself to global firmware?

[@parsaplayz4857]

as far as i know it seems that the china version has nfc but it only works in china for payments/etc

[@CMYT2023]

Does it measure blood PRESSURE? Not blood oxygen or heart rate?

[@karenh770]

I just got my 7 yesterday, when I am looking at the clock and scroll up, it the top choice I'd activity intelligence. What are the red, yellow, green rainbow thingy mean???, thank you

[@84848AR]

Will this count steps? Also can this be charged by wireless pad? And does it need an app and is it paid app? Thanks!

[@funkez5110]

Yes it counts steps, can't be charged wirelessly, but the charging cable is magnetic. The official app is free, though there can be "premium" watch-faces that might cost money

[@korodski]

Quality review! Does this have a stopwatch function?

[@loveisthething]

It does

[@dy2186]

yeah

[@ricer987]

Still going strong with the Mi band 4!

[@ropeysubstance1719]

which app are you supposed to use the zepp life app or the mi fit app?

[@missz339]

I would like to know this as well

[@GrilledChickenRamyun]

Been using my mi band 4 since first released. Been thinking of upgrading or should i wait for another year😂

[@datageek9132]

I want it to vibrate at intervals and cycle between slow paced and fast paced. For example 2 minute of slow, 1 minute of high intensity running. Can it do this?

[@lucy7b]

Thank you for the review, how can I make a list of the workouts I use regularly rather than delving deep into the menu system?

[@ChaarGrilled]

Yes! You can :)

[@Mrswinchesters77]

Hey I’m planning to buy but I use 13 pro iPhone. Does the notifications work with ios16? Because many said they don’t receive any. Thanks!

[@coffee-bp1tv]

My friend's can be used

[@Mrswinchesters77]

@@coffee-bp1tv thanks, I already bought it so with zepp life they work fine. With mi fit I couldn’t receive

[@MrSwaggernaut83]

I had the three but stopped using it bc the Mi app was super intrusive with ads and sketchy as far as data n permissions. Has it gotten better since then or worse? Any input would help :)

[@bigshotaviation8570]

I believe they have tweaked it a bit there are videos on it

[@MichaelElsegood]

I actually have not seen anything like that but I am using it in China and have selected China as my region in the app. I would hate ads too. That's BS

[@mumdoohsiddiqui6047]

When i had mi3 the app was different I didn't receive any kind of ads now i have mi6 the app has changed i don't receive any kind of ads now

[@mona9741]

Do I need wifi when using the device?

[@taffeiteworld9768]

Hi i wanna to know if we can dowload app into watch

[@127DBG]

I have used mi fit 4. And have a lot of different colors on my bands. My question is: Can I use the same bands to this new version? Thank you

[@doloresmcredmond3799]

No mi band 7 is bigger.

[@CursiveDragon]

The band 6 does continuous heart rate measuring.

[@Tyshdoesnotexist]

My soul just left my body with the stress part 😂help

[@blak238]

Can it be used on iOS

[@azhardhoomun2147]

Does it have a gps?

[@johnherbert2545]

Would you recommend this over the pro?

[@MichaelElsegood]

It really depends on what features you prioritise. If the exclusive features of the Pro don't interest you then get the normal Band 7. Also how is your eyesight? Will you need a bigger screen?

[@xinransong7421]

do you have xiaomi 12 lite yet? would love to see the review

[@MichaelElsegood]

Not yet, perhaps I'll get it, will look at the Ultra also

[@jeremyranaivoson007]

I would like to know if you can send a preset text message in answers to messages notification. As a biker it is useful in order to not take out the phone. If yes, can we set the messages from the smartphone app? Thanks for your answer.

Does the heart rate and Spo2 continuous monitoring work and get recorded if I don't connect it to the phone all time and just once at night?

[@arslanzemail]

Yes

[@random-accessmemory9201]

Yes and it will sync once it is connected to your phone.

[@HobokenSquatCobbler]

Must press button to see your heart rate displayed for a single moment in time. Not real time display, at least on the watch face. Not sure about the app, because I didn't care about that - not going to run while holding a phone in my hand. Returning it because of this.

[@gruntgreat8487]

can you show me how to change left-right wrist wearing setting?

[@lucy7b]

Pop the watch out and replace the other way up.

[@rohanved1214]

Can you tell me if MI Band 7 has 60 or 30 hz refresh rate?

[@olddog8446]

Mi band 7 has a 30 hz refresh rate. The new Mi band 8 has a 60 hz refresh rate.

[@atomcraft3698]

Hi everyone. I am unable to keep my cellphone aroaund me at all times, so i was wondering if this watch can track the outdoor temperature without my phone nearby. If not, are there any fitness trackers that can?

It can't

My band suddenly restarted and now I've apparently burned more than 5000 calories (normally, it shows 300 - 700, if I trained)

[@chibi8694]

so you can buy the chinese version and change the language to english right?

Zepp Life I believe or MI Fitness

[@kriswolf8]

In band 7, I don't know why they removed the Status item with a clear look of the steps from each day, I don't understand where this idea came from. The appearance of PAI also strange, in me band 6 it was better shown for every day. To me, these changes are idiotic.

[@reallynch1]

i just watch this video ...but i just bought one of them watch but my one does not have what this video is saying the features and the battery doesnt even last a day also have to keep signing in on app once up charge the battery and i bought if of pulse tech site

Amazing! Bought this BUT it cannot be used in any mode if one does not opt in to sharing one’s location at all times along with all of the measurable vital signs which are shared with someone in China. Strange to me that people are so casual about sharing personal info. Data with a country that has a social metric system in place. Sending mine back to the retailer.
