I was about to buy…
But no GPS?
I think I pass this time…
Thanks for the review…
I recently bought a Vivosmart 5, my girlfriend got a Band 7. I paid three times as much just so I could stay in the Garmin ecosystem, but I really find it difficult to justify the cost compared to the Xiaomi. It's almost embarrassing how much bang for your bucks you get with the this device, it's like the Garmin isn't even trying. At least the Garmin Connect app is excellent.
brilliant review Mike
Your reviews are up there with mrwhostheboss
Live in the US can I use this on my iPhone?
I just recently found out that you and Nate are brothers. No wonder your voices are so similar lol. I'm a fan of both of you, keep it up Mike!
I dont understand english language well but i want suggest for me a device that can check my blood pressure and give me Correct result
Dude, i think your channel deservs more viewers – very quality and balanced reviews with reasonable remarks
Will you be trying the Mi Band 7 pro if it has a global edition? I read it has built in GPS.
I hope the 8 would finally get the GPS
The Mi Band 7 Pro is even better
I love the miband 6 I'm using atm, maybe I'll get it later this year
Mi Bands have really come a long way since my first one, which was just a few white dots telling you how close you were to your step goal.
HI! You can save your workout even without bringing your phone with you on your workout. you just need to sync the band to your phone when you get home. Thank you.
Hey Mike, great review. Have you found any trackers that have an audible notification for messages, emails, etc. Thanks.
this or the huawei band 7?
it looks great but i need blood pressure monitoring too.
I find it amusing people (reviewers, websites and so on) keeping repeating the supposedly number of types of exercise the band has. It is really funny knowing that media advertises that and on the manufacturer side is just one person searching online "what types of exercises exist" and adding them to a names list. Really really funny. It is the same hardware and software measuring HR. It's pointless the amount of exercises mode one picks.
I've used the MI band 4 and 6. And honestly, the watch faces suck!!! It's mostly weird cartoons and takes awhile to load. It's important you highlight that fact since a lot of people are into that sort of feature. But apart from that , it's quite brilliant.
+1
Does timer work in the background? Without it being on the app?
its coming from china only they have logo of them on it🤭
MIKe!! can you review Huawei watch fit 2!!! can you listen to spotify stand alone
can you use mi band 6 straps ?
These company just fool people by making fitness tracker more independent of phone and give the settings on the band but mostly all these settings are available in mi band 4,5,6 from phone except 1 or 2 and increase the pricing….last time same happens with mi band 6 and the sales decreased by huge percentage 😫😪
I like the mi band 6 more
mi band 7 no longer has the "Take Photo" menu, can't remote camera anymore, SAD, BAD
😀
I'm wearing a mi band 6 right now.. I'll be upgrading when the time comes to the 7..
I like how these bands look big on YouTube vids and on the wrist of Youtubers… IRL these bands are TINY! THEY ARE MICROSCOPIC !
heyy have a good time brien
If you want REAL upgrade, skip one generation. 1-3-5-7-9 or 2-4-6-8.
Can it sync heart rate info to my apple health? Tell me..
Unable to change the units on my Mi Fitness app. Also no seconds with the band display.
I have it but the animations are sluggish. And the watch face isn't interactive and ugly. I went back to the six
Does it fit in the Mi Band 6 stripe/bracelet?
Do you know if this can be used with Strava?
Here are my thoughts on miband 7 after using it for more than a week.
1. Battery life: in my testing, with AOD on, it doesn't last more than 4 days. With AOD off, it lasts about 10 days.
2. Slow response: the processor is noticeably slow, it lags so much compared to miband 4 that I loved so much.
Other than those two, all other things surpass my old miband 4.
I've had the Mi Band 5 since Sept 2020 …it's fine, but i do wish that the heart rate measurement was more frequent than once a minute. The Mi Band 7 looks great so far.
