Mi Smart Band 6-1.56'' AMOLED Touch Screen, SPO2, Sleep Breathing Tracking, 5ATM Water Resistant, 14 Days Battery Life, 30 Sports Mode, Fitness, Steps, Sleep, Heart Rate Monitor [Official UK]

I absolutely love the watch and can't fault it at all, other than I am still trying to get it to link to the camera shutter on my Redmi note 10 Pro, but I have only had it a few days so I'll find a way eventually. The display is fabulous and measurements are very accurate when compared with my oximeter, so I am very happy with it so far. Text messages are really clearly displayed and the vibration alert is a godsend as I often don't hear the phone. However I am having problems with the strap, which is a bit fiddly to fasten, but my wife helps with that, and it is making me itch to the point of having to take it off to stop it. I started with my left arm and after a couple of days swapped to the right once the itch started. Now I have had to take it off there too as it was driving me mad. It calms down after an hour or so and I have been keeping everything clean and dry as I know that sweat can be a problem with silicone bands, but it's still causing problems. I can only wear a conventional watch for short periods as they cause a lot of skin problems, usually from the metal contact, but I had hoped that as there's no metal on the smart band and it's not a cheap copy or replacement one, I would have been OK with it. So although my photo doesn't really show much, try to imagine how much it is itching while I try to imagine that I am still wearing the watch, it feels like I am at least 😢. There's probably nothing wrong with the whole thing and quality and performance wise I really can't complain at all, it's a fantastic product and particularly for the crazy price. I have had the phone a couple weeks as well, the camera is incredible at this price and I'm completely blown away by that too hence going for the matching watch, so a bit upset that I have a slight issue with the strap at the moment. I am sure I will find a solution to the problem with a bit of frantic searching online and I am sure I am not the only person who is itchy, then I can carry on enjoying brilliant little device and also the app to go with it, which I haven't mentioned in detail as I am still learning about it myself, but so far is really good. The off-putting thing is the fact that it needs access to absolutely everything on your phone to work correctly with the band, but it all depends on what you want it to do so you can restrict some things if you don't you want to use them.. To sum it up, if you are thinking about a really great product and don't want to spend a fortune then you can't go wrong with the Xaiomi and, as with their phones, you will get a flagship quality product for a bargain basement price. Some people say that you get what you pay for and think that it is necessary to spend a fortune to buy a " good" one and if you want, or need to have a an expensive one then that's fine, but don't waste the extra money on the name because these are, in my humble opinion, going to be just as good and you can save the extra money for your other designer goods and prosecco 😂.

I was looking for a cheap solution to replace my expensive Apple Watch and to my surprise, this device really blew my mind. I’m so amazed at the quality for the extremely low cost. Apple Watch costs so much and I’m afraid of bashing it in my workouts and sports. The Mi Band 6 is so low cost it doesn’t matter. All the services are free and it’s fully compatible with my iPhone X. The screen is really vibrant and stands out a lot. The slim profile is ideal for workouts and discreet enough to tuck away. Don’t underestimate this device, you’re getting a lot of bang for your buck. It by no means sacrifices quality and is a premium product. I was looking at FitBit, but this was far more attractive, especially with the fact that you don’t need a subscription. Every detail you need is on the screen with an amazingly long battery life, as well as an abundance of health monitoring capabilities, at a fraction of the cost of the premium competitors. I bought a new bicycle and needed a reliable customisable and accurate accessory. The best thing is that I can even monitor my sleep, something Apple charges and extortionate premium for. I used to buy everything Apple, but my loyalty made me a gullible mug - no more!!! I’m so happy with my new acquisition. It’s simple, yet effective, while being attractive at the same time. This is a must buy and you won’t get anything close to this at the pricepoint.

The mii fit band is as good as any other if not better. sometimes it will go out of sink to your phone which only happened for me a whole day which drove me crazy as it was hard then to connect. the phone app is basic & nothing really goes into details of why the results read what they do. I do like how you can change the watch face & make your own designs too, tho i wish there was more options with designing your own, as your limited to the layout of the time, date & steps and where they are put on the screen. you can buy different colour bands too. HOWEVER please note these do not work on Tattoos, it will not read anything, if like me you have a full tattooed sleeve its a waste of time getting one. i have to wear mine on my left wrist due to this, which doesnt always read steps etc as i am right handed so when walking about you are more likely to be holding something in left hand to be able to do things with right hand, if right handed, so a lot of my steps do not count in that day. shame really. i like the exercise options, there are plenty it counts how long you have been doing it for, cals you have burnt & then the app shows how much effort you have put into it. ALSO note that if using for swimming then get the info up & started before you get wet, else it will lockup & not read you trying to get into the menu to start your exercise......this was annoying & how you get out of it to stop it timing you is also annoying as you have to swipe up then down then hold your finger on it to stop it, sounds quick & easy but as with any gadget it can have a mind of its own. But like i said its good for the money if you want to use it for keeping a track on sleeping or exercising.

I had over 15 watches and I couldn’t get along with any of them well enough. The one I like is a KOSEPT GO, but nothing compared to this one. Arrived when expected and I was careful to check it’s original. The box was black with the big 6 on it. Now the way the watch works makes me believe it really is original because it is high quality. I’m interested in - walking (sports), HR, oxy levels, and sleep, and I want these three accurate. This watch is VERY, VERY accurate. Unbelievably accurate to be honest. O2 is measures exactly like my medical grade spo2, if that says 99%, watch says 99%, if that says 100%, watch says 100%. I never have less. The sleep tracker is very good too. It even shows REM sleep, not sure how accurate that REM measure is but since the rest of the functions are accurate I’d guess this too. The HR is great and it knows how to balance. When I do yoga it sometimes jumps to HR 160 because I’m moving my hands fast but it doesn’t record that measure as it balances and records whatever it is correct, so it shows very briefly 160 then calculates whatever it has to and shows a correct reading (usually 130 in this situation). This is very good because I cam clearly see it works and it reads HR well as the 160 means yep, elevated HR, then it settles and measures, so I trust that what it records it’s correct. I had watches that recorded the likes of even 180 because when I stand up obviously hr goes up a bit, but the watch wasn’t capable to calculate the difference properly. Well this one does, thank duck. The app is very good too, not sure why some people disliked it. Screenshot with which apropo I use attached. And a preview of a walk I done the other day. VERY comprehensive stuff in the app too. Oh and battery, I started wearing it at 100% fully charged 6 sept evening. I keep it to turn on when I move my wrist, and 30 min continuously HR monitoring, stress monitor. The only feature not on is the breathing quality over night. I also do manual readings every once in a while each day. And it’s today on 12 Sept morning at 44%. So the battery must be good too. What I know from experience to be a problem is the watches start to read HR less accurate after some months and they tend to give lower readings than the reality. The kosept go I mentioned now gives readings of 56 when it’s about 80 or 90. So I don’t know if this one will too, but I’ll update if anything changes.

This costs about the same as buying an oximeter and a pedometer separately. Those functions work great and it tells the time so it's five stars. I don't like wearing a watch and haven't done so for thirty years or so but I find this to be quite comfortable and low profile enough not to be in the way. The strap is basic but a good design, it stays in place and against comfortable. While I'm happy with the standard strap it's good to know there are third party alternatives available, some quite snazzy. The sleep tracker gives good feedback but may not be 100% reliable however it is adequate to keep track of trends. You can use this on its own without the app and if you did I would say it's still good value. Use the app and you get better data readout. I have no idea if anyone can track me with the app or find our health info but that's true of any app I use (is my audio level app listing to me? let's not get paranoid). The app and the watch do other stuff as well like trip the phone camera shutter, display weather reports and so on, I haven't used any of that but it all adds value. I have turned the display brightness to the max and I find that is very clear if a bit bright in subdued light. My one gripe is the app keeps nagging me to enable various permissions on my phone, it may well open a number of other functions but I said no and I meant no, please stop asking! It's a minor gripe however. I think this is a rat product at a very fair price, well done Mi.

I absolutely love this smart watch! After doing lots of research into my first smart watch, and seeing so many on amazon, reading hundreds of different reviews, I was completely lost on what to buy! After an internet search for good smart watches that don't break the bank account it was between the Xiaomi 6 and the Fitbit Inspire 2! After reading many reviews on both, I decided to take a risk on the Xiaomi which is a brand I had never heard of before. However, I am so incredibly pleased with this watch! Its step counter, in my opinion is pretty accurate, the screen is clear and easy to see in any light. You can swipe between screens to see you step count, heart rate and weather for the day. The app is easy to use. It has many features that I haven't yet tried, however I tried the fitness workout to see the number of calories burnt, how long the exercise was, and how it was broken down into intensive, semi-intensive, light or relaxed! IT still does everything a normal watch does including the date, day and time. The watch strap is comfortable and easy to put on once you've got use to it. It easily linked to my old iPhone (still have the original SE), but couldn't say how easily it links with newer phones. I absolutely love this and I would recommend to anyone thinking of buying a smart watch.

Had another low-cost smart watch prior to this that, even at £15, wasn't worth it. Before that, had a really nice Microsoft Band - but that (a) didn't last long (my first was replaced free by MSFT) and (b) got abandonned by MSFT. This watch is a nice balance. Low enough cost that I don't have to worry about it even if it broke in a year but with enough nice features to actually make it useful. Connection to the phone (I'm using Android in this case) seems reasonably robust (though I've had to stop/start Bluetooth a couple of times for the watch to be picked up by the app - I leave my phone in the office overnight but wear the watch and it sometimes loses connection). That was a real problem with the previous watch where I had to restart the app continuously. Watch faces are much of a muchness but it took me a while to realise that you can change some of the main information displays round in the watch itself. I've only used walking and cycling sport trackers so far but they work well. Battery life is decent, I have ALL of the features and live monitors turned on and have extended the active display time slightly and I get slightly less than a week. If you turn the settings down, you'll probably get a couple of weeks. I generally prefer a full watch face so wasn't too sure about having such a narrow face but actually it is pretty good with everything very clear and the display runs right to the edge so nothing wasted. The default strap isn't the best but it is just about acceptable and fine at the price I paid and there are loads of replacements. As usual, lacking in documentation so make sure you keep going back and messing with things because I keep finding new features even after a couple of months or more. Another fine product from Xiaomi product, recommended if you want some smart features but don't want to wear hundreds of ££ of watch and have to replace it every couple of years.

I had the Mi Band 5 and got on with it very well but unfortunately the battery started to fail within a year of ownership. I did actually send it back and they refunded me the money which was good. I did then buy the Mi Band 6 which had since come out and was around the same price. That was June 2021 and it's now October 2022 and the battery is shot. If I charge it to full then it lasts about two days if i'm lucky though when the battery hits about 55% it then only takes maybe half a day before it turns itself off and it does this by almost constant vibrating, then silence then more constant vibrating. I actually had to take it off and put it in a jacket pocket as it was driving me mad. The claimed two week battery life may have been possible at the beginning of its life but if you turn on all the features (that's what they are there for right?) then you get around fives days out of the battery, which is good really. I also made sure that I recharged mine before it went below 20-30% to save the battery so god knows how long this would have lasted if I had drained to 0% every week. So. I am firmly under the impression that the batteries in these don't last. First one less than a year and this one just over a year. Is that okay? Well no it is not. I know these are cheap but I am not one for having to throw away perfectly good technology because they use poor quality batteries that are not replaceable. I'm not sure what the do now. Spend another £40 and have another one for just over a year or just bite the bullet and spend more on a brand that will likely have the decency to put in batteries that can last at least a few years before they start to fail. There are a lot of good reviews on here for these and there is a reason for that. They are very good for the money and just very good but i'm not sure at this point in human history that it's worth supporting a company that builds things that last just over a year before you have to throw it in the soil and buy another one.
