XiaomiMi Smart Band 6 40% Larger 1.56'' AMOLED Touch Screen, Sleep Breathing Tracking, 5ATM Water Resistant, 14 Days Battery Life, 30 Sports Mode, Fitness, Steps, Sleep, Heart Rate Monitor

My 3rd fitbit inspire hr stopped holding a charge I decided it was time for a change. After researching what was on the market I landed on the mi smart band 6. I wasn't looking for a smart watch since I still wear actual watches (who does that?) so the goal was to find a comparable product to the inspire. The mi band 6 was that and MUCH MORE.ProsIt tracks your basic activity, steps and workouts, heart rate, breathing exercises, stress tracking and sleep monitoring. Plus you get blood oxygen and PAI physiological activity indicator tracking. I didn't know I needed that or wanted that but I have it and now check it lol. It also tells you what those things are on the band which was a huge plus. It has a large number of workouts that can be picked directly on it which the Inspire hr didn't. Plus you can see your workout history and your stats for everything else for the past week on it. It has media controls so you can replay play pause skip and adjust volume of your music and it works with various music apps. You also get a 5 day weather forecast. You can also get your notifications and call alerts. I'm sure I'm missing something else but there's so much available on the mi smart band 6. Add on top of that a full-color and customizable display with a great price and you got a clear cut winner.ConsThe step tracking isn't as accurate as the fitbit inspire hr. The steps and distance were lower than what the inspire and my phone had. The app is good but needs work. There's not a lot of compatibility/integration with other apps like strava. Google fit integration is solid though. While you get notifications and calls on it, the calls seem to show up late like right before it goes to voicemail. The auto tracking is weird. It doesn't just happen all the time. It wants you to confirm your doing it instead of just recording the activity like when starting a walk or run. There may be some other little things but they don't come to mind so it's not anything that I run into frequently..All and all this is the best tracker I've found with all these features and at an AMAZING price point. If you're looking for a fitness tracker grab this one and enjoy. The next iteration will probably be even better if you can wait but at this price it won't hurt to get the mi smart band 6 now and then get the 7 when it's available.

Let me start here. This is a good cheap entry level smartwatch to use for a few months as you decide whether a smartwatch is a good device that would actually be useful for you, and from there you can decide whether or not you want to take the plunge on higher end watch devices — whether centered around lifestyle or fitness, give up wanting a smartwatch at all, or keep buying these lower end watches that are a great value with basic functions.This band worked as expected for the past 9 months while I've lived a fairly inactive life. Now I'm training for an ultramarathon and within the first week of actually using the band as a serious fitness tracker, the screen popped out of the case during a 13 mile run and won't stay back in.Fortunately, I was fixing to upgrade to a more serious tracker with a more reliable GPS and heart rate tracking; this little mishap just accelerated that purchase. I'm upgrading a Garmin Enduro 2. This is a big step, but one that I'm confident in, and I wouldn't have that confidence if it wasn't for the past few months that I've spent with the mi band 6 in my life.Still, you'll notice I'm giving this tracker five stars, and that's no accident. This device is an incredible value for $40. If you're satisfied with the basic features and won't take this fitness tracker on many extreme workouts, it's a great way to save hundreds of dollars on one of the higher-end fitness bands that do many of the same things.I got this band mainly as a vibrating alarm clock, a sleep tracker, and a device that would vibrate when I got texts/calls so I could keep my phone silent for all other notifications — and the mi band 6 succeeded wonderfully with each of these assignments. But I wasn't yet taking my fitness seriously, so when I started putting it to the test in fitness, that's where the band started to fall short.Get this band as a lifestyle smartwatch and expect basic reliability for step counting, sleep tracking, and other fitness features. But this is not a replacement for a higher-end fitness gadget that you can really depend on if you are the kind of person who needs reliable data on their workouts. Expect this to last a few months with good care, and serve has a good stepping stone to other smartwatches.
