Having bought a Xiaomi fitness bracelet, I share this information with you. Smart bracelet Xiaomi Mi Band: tutorials, instructions, overview Mi band description

Golovna / Basic functionality

Sports, fitness, health are a trend today, so it’s not surprising that the smart fitness bracelet Xiaomi Mi Band gained such popularity and quickly hit the shelves of online stores. Let's take a look at this marvel of Chinese industry and find out for ourselves whether it is effective or not indispensable, at least it's worthless, or just a damn fashionable toy?

New look of the Xiaomi Mi Band fitness bracelet

The Vikonan box has a corporate minimalist style - it is very rough and does not get hammered when delivered, cardboard with a logo on the top corner.

and technical characteristics on the inserts on the back

We have no interest in looking at the hieroglyphs, so I immediately opened the promised box and appeared before my eyes.

The packaging of the device is well organized. The product itself is clearly visible to the eyewitnesses. As we will see later, we will insert it into the bracelet. Let's open the box further

and stays in place. The kit includes:

Smart bracelet Xiaomi Mi Band has a waterproof case (IP67)
Black silicone strap with metal rivet
Charging
Instructions

Everything on the dotik is very welcoming – including the fitness tracker itself, coated with matte metal. When worn, various pieces of furniture are inevitably sealed, and the contacts do not appear to be dislodged in any way. Removal from soft-touch silicone. The opening is wide enough to fit the largest hand. The Vikonan fastening looks like a metal “rivet” made of the same material as a reasonable part of the gadget.

The slot for the head unit on the strap is very difficult to adapt to the size, so in order to insert it in place you will need to apply some effort to stretch the strap - the device is installed as if it had been inserted.

In order to charge, you need to remove the device from the strap and insert the contacts into the charging dock, which is added - unfortunately, it is impossible to keep the bracelet alive. Also, the kit does not have a life block - you will have to quickly use it with your mobile phone.

In general, as far as the new appearance is concerned, everything is put together perfectly and fulfills the impression of a neat structure, which you won’t get to wear under a shirt with friends. With this device, it’s even light and when worn, you can’t guess about yourself.

How to connect Xiaomi Mi Band

Now let's figure out how to connect Xiaomi Band to your phone and start using it. We first need to download the program, which is called “Mi Fit” - you can take it either by searching in the mobile add-on store, or by scanning the QR code with instructions. Є version Mi Fit iOS and Android.

After installing the program, you will immediately ask for permission to collect data about your health and activities.

Let us allow it and launch the program. Before you send a message to the robot, you need to create a Xiaomi account or log in with someone else. If you are the owner of a phone from this company or MIUI firmware for Android, you already have it - remember and leave.

If you decide, the remaining stage of connection is to select Mi Band from the Xiaomi devices menu and click until the smartphone is disconnected from the bracelet - Bluetooth, which on the phone is responsible for the connection.

If the connection is successfully detected, the LED lights on your fitness tracker will blink - touch your finger to confirm the connection.

But that’s not all - when you have set up notifications about calls, you will once again ask the device to “pair” with the phone.

Robot with a bracelet

Working with the official supplement, I have identified for myself five of the most important functions. I’m talking about the “official” program myself, since there is a custom version for Android, which has many more possibilities for interacting with the bracelet. So, three of them are immediately presented in the main window of the program. This is the crocodile in front of us. Based on the entered data about growth, age and weight, the tracker calculates the time and converts them from kilometers traveled and calories burned. In this case, it adequately increases the time period in the run, which appears in the final statistics.

Overall, for iPhone owners there is nothing new here, except that a similar program has been introduced in the new one, as the world is dying out. One thing is that we don’t carry the phone around, and the bracelet is always on our hands and we don’t miss anything you want. As soon as you bring the bracelet to your face, the LEDs will light up, signaling that you have completed the task assigned to you during the registration period for the day.

Another function is to accelerate sleep phases. This function includes an accelerometer, which follows the position of your hand and determines whether you are sleeping lightly or not. In this case, there is no need to specially mute it - the tracker itself recognizes when you fall asleep. All this information is displayed in a graphical view and paints an overall picture of your nightly activities. It is important to note that there are inaccuracies in the work - for example, if you woke up early and then went to bed again, the tracker thinks that you did not lie again and lies in the statistics only the first part of sleep.

Another option that is displayed on the main screen is physical stimulation. Here you can change your mobile phone, for example, from the smart Xiaomi mobile phone you have connected with.

Since all the advanced features are useful only for those who are trying to lose weight and athletes, then everyday functions that are essential to everything are included in the setup menu. For example, an alarm clock. It has two operating modes. The first one is classic, if you set an hour to wake up, adjust its frequency, and at the appointed hour you will wake up with a slight vibration on your wrist, without being awakened by the loud sound of your sleep.

Another useful mode is adjusting to focus on the phase of surface sleep, which is the most favorable for awakening, which corresponds to the set hour.

Another interesting feature is notifications about entrance calls to your phone. If you lie here far away, or are in silent mode, you will always hear about the vibration sound. When you set the hour after the start of the call, the smart bracelet will vibrate. To be honest, I really only used the alarm clock and vibration alerts - just for fun, nothing more.

Here it’s easy to know about a third-party program - even in it you can set up information not only about calls, but also about notifications from other mobile apps, such as WhatsAp or Skype. There is no doubt that an updated official version may also appear.

However, the bracelet, with its low varnish, gives a rich taste that is not sufficient for a professional athlete, but it can be brown in the case of most koristuvachs, who are careful about their health, giving a few more brown ones. function of interaction with the phone.

After this year, vikoristannya

Having spent the last week with a smart bracelet, or, as they call it, the fitness tracker Xiaomi Mi Band of the first generation, it’s really just fashionable bullshit. The vibrating alarm clock does not have any significant functions. Android owners have also received notifications from various add-ons, as well as iPhones, and for the latter, only notifications about phone calls have been sent. Pedometer is in many smartphones, so my verdict is this: the sale of another generation with a built-in heart rate monitor is about to start.

How many times have I bought a Mi Band not on my favorite AliExpress, but in the GearBest store, since, as a trading platform, the online store gives guarantees of serviceability of gadgets, and to be honest, I still felt like a lazy transfer Keep sellers honest on Ali

At the quarter of Chinese, Xiaomi, the new fіtnes-bracelet Mi Band 3. VID vice VIN VIN VIN, is the design of the capsules, the trochs of the Zbilshenim of the NFC payment for the Chinese cinnamon. You can use Mi Band 3, but the price has become as low as it was. Another day, another Xiaomi bracelet – will all upcoming fitness trackers be as similar as two drops of water? We were overwhelmed by the list of functions, because we would not have released Mi Band 4 and Mi Band 5 yet.

Left to right: Mi Band, Mi Band 2, Mi Band 3

GPS

So far, the Xiaomi fitness bracelet does not have a GPS module. There were two shortcuts for the appearance of such a function: with an additional chip, the devices would become more expensive and less efficient, because the GPS would drain the battery a lot.

Huawei Band 2 Pro

Recently, Huawei began selling the Band 2 Pro bracelet with GPS support. Current prices for the new one (not starting, but reduced) are in the range of $43-60, which is twice as high as the price of Xiaomi devices (~20-25 $), but much cheaper than smart bracelets Fitbit and Garmin (120-150 $ and 1 20- $300). And there’s also a baby boy with GPS, which costs no more than Xiaomi gadgets.

Huami Amazfit Bip

The Huami startup has developed the first Mi Band, and now has created a smart one-year-old Amazfit Bip - a “copy” of the Apple Watch with a 30-day battery. With a constantly deteriorating GPS module, the Bip battery is quickly discharged. Judging by the sounds, a moderately active GPS and heart rate monitor reduces the working hours of the year to 14-19 days - a reasonable compromise. How fateful is it that Huami has taken over from Xiaomi and turned into a serious competitor with a wide line of smart watches and bracelets. If Xiaomi wants to seriously fight for the best gadgets to wear, it’s time to think about GPS.

Self-sufficiency

Wearable devices are going through difficult times. There are two reasons: Apple’s entry into the market with a popular smart phone, and the widespread awareness among manufacturers of those who will put a pedometer on their hand.

It’s easy to turn your smartphone into a fitness tracker without a heart rate monitor. Turn off Apple Health, install Google Fit, Endomodo, Strava and use all the same options as a simple bracelet. The bracelet can collect data, show graphics and connect to GPS, the required smartphone. There seems to be a third party here.

Mi Band saves information about your heart rate, volume of sleep, and intensity of sleep for 10 days. This is not a perfect system. The sports geek meticulously analyzes his data and regularly synchronizes sports gadgets. Such people take a more flexible approach so that VO2 is respected, they exercise under water, and circuit training is encouraged. And the simplest consumer buys a bracelet so that his gadget motivates him to lead a healthy way of life, and not be hesitant to spend extra money. A third of buyers will receive bracelets in just a few months. They would like to lose their weight and lead a healthy way of life, but the tracker on their smartphone does not help them. This may become a self-sufficient solution. Without "militia".

Rhubarb is infused with water to the body

The skin needs water! Wakefulness increases the chance of a stroke, affects sleep and skin, and reduces productivity and the effectiveness of exercise. People forget to drink regularly, and that’s where the gadget comes in. Subject TV "hydration" is trying to open up the startup LVL. Its engineers have created a tracker that monitors the amount of water in the blood using infrared light and how often a person needs to drink. Sales of the gadget are not so good. Xiaomi product would be amazed at this technology and outperform its competitors.

Bioimpedance

Aura Band

“Zayva” vaga tila is not an enemy. The enemy is the rotten seeds that form a weak organism from excess fat and a deficiency of meat mass. These deficiencies can be determined using an additional method of bioimpedance analysis, which measures the amount of water, fat, cysts and meats in the body. The equipment for bioimpedansometry looks unassumingly, like a physiotherapeutic device; There are also other subtexts with the same function. And the bracelet-bioimpedance meter axis was first developed by the startup Aura Devices. The cost of the new product will be close to 200 dollars, and it’s still far from being released – just like the next generation of Mi Band. Perhaps Mi Band number 4 and 5 can tell you how much fat you have? I would like to believe it.

Improved Mi Fit program

At the same time, Xiaomi’s main fitness supplement does not benefit from the popularity of the average user, which is evident from the low rating in Google Play and the App Store. The main problem lies in the permanent falls and villeins. The functions of the program themselves are numerous. And in short: less villiots, more analytics and information.

More “Great Tributes”

Lack of information is not only a problem with Xiaomi, but with all “amateur” fitness gadgets. All the information that they choose and show is not without the benefit of the end user. Pushkin, at the hour of his sending, wrote a testimony about the invasion of locusts in the Novorossiysk province in the following words: “The locusts flew, flew and flew; sat, sat, still got off and took off again.” Count Vorontsov has brought the laconic conclusion to the “relevant” reports and the insights that they contain. The axis and the standard tracker are the same: you walk a little and you slept poorly, adding to the consistency of the numbers. After all, the owner of the gadget does not realize that he slept badly and sat in the office a lot.

Vags Picooc Mini

Unique information that guides the trainer to a specific activity is the key to the success of the fitness gadget. Startups Picooc and FocusMotion are engaged in the collection and analysis of such “deep” data. Picooc collects statistics on the body of koristuvachev through its own vaginas and radiats, how to remove the vagina in a healthy manner, for a specific episode, and for a specific moment. FocusMotion sensors analyze the position of body parts and monitor the technique of various yoga asanas, deadlifts, squats - whatever you do. For a simple fitness bracelet, you need to know a couple of trumps from its drive. Otherwise, an electronic gadget will be deprived of a fashionable accessory no more.

Focus Motion Sensors

… I helped with the sound of the capsule, kindly

All electronic components of Xiaomi fitness trackers are located in a special capsule. The capsule is in a silicone resin. Reminets - in Russian. When the silicone slot stretches, the capsule collapses. If you want to fasten your bracelet too tightly during an hour of vigorous basketball play, you may risk flying out. The Mi Band search function is available in the Mi Fit program. The capsule gives signs with a quiet vibration signal, which is important to hear on the street. Sound Bluetooth trackers of the Tile and Chipolo type, which are attached to keys and hammants, operate in a completely different way. The stench of its place becomes like a booming melody that cannot be confused with anything. Wasting a Mi Band is a ritual to dedicate to a Xiaomi customer, but you would like to do without it. This tracker needs a speaker.

The Xiaomi Mi Band wrist device created a major sensation in the world of electronics and especially attracted activists, athletes, men and women audiences of fitness clubs. The fitness bracelet does not come with a high price or heavy price, but it does a wonderful job of keeping track of the steps taken, heart rate, showing the real time and a smart alarm clock.

The laconic and stylish form of the hand-held gadget adds simplicity and ease of use for any situation and in extreme minds. The brand has released a number of fitness trackers, sales of the remaining advanced model have become the largest among fitness devices.

The virtues of the virobnik

The Chinese brand Huami once released the Xiaomi Mi Band fitness bracelet on the market at an affordable price of just over $10. The accessory struck a chord with everyone who was hesitant about purchasing such a device and decided to buy the available Xiaomi Mi Band 1 device.

Huami has created the world's first affordable fitness bracelet with a set of unique functions necessary to shape and maintain your activity. The gadget lasts up to 30 days of use, and its battery capacity ranges from 40 to 70 Maggods. It is not necessary to release it, but the skin from them requires up to 20 days of continuous scrubbing. Among the features of the brand and its product can be considered those that you can buy the “Xiaomi Mi Band” gadget cheaply only in China, and if the technology is new, then it is not ready. Resellers and official sellers increase the price until the beginning of release and lower the price when the excitement dies down.

The main achievement of the Huami brand is the release of an affordable and effective fitness tracker “Xiaomi Mi Band”, the functions of which are the most important: time meter, heart rate monitor, alarm clock, call notifications, SMS and login, heart rate monitor and the ability to use programs for Activity enhancement, gadget control and review of statistics.

What is it like?

A fitness bracelet is a stylish and brown accessory for those who keep up their activity throughout the day and night. A smart gadget allows you to not only set the hour, but also inform you about the number of kilometers traveled, check your pulse, inform about exit calls and notifications, and keep track of activity statistics and rhythms heartbeat based on special add-ons on the IOS and Android platforms. A fitness bracelet is a smart alarm clock, which indicates the stages of sleep, most likely until the heart beats, and wakes up a person during light sleep, when it is easier to wake up. This is an indispensable aid to sports and vigorous activity in order to stay aware of biorhythms and adjust your activity according to the adopted algorithms.

All generations of gadgets: a look back

"Xiaomi Mi Band 1"

The first version of the budget fitness bracelet is made of thermoplastic plastic, with a noticeably soft material. Its functions include a “smart” alarm clock, a Crocomir, a calorie healer and alerts for calls to your mobile phone through a series of short vibrations. The bracelet has a solid structure with a capsule in the middle, packaged in a simple, laconic package of goodness. The modular bracelet comes complete with:

Charger;
Chinese instructions.

The advantages of the fitness tracker "Xiaomi Mi Band black" of the first series mean:

Waterproof. Virobnik states that the device is immersed in water up to 1 meter, so with the bracelet you can confidently jump into the shower and shake hands without knowing the smart gadget.
Impact. The "Xiaomi Mi Band" tracker is particularly attractive from a height of up to 1 meter; for example, the bracelet can be placed on the asphalt and nothing will happen to it.
Program For smartphones on the IOS and Android platforms, a number of programs have been developed for working with a fitness bracelet, which allows you to monitor your activity on the screen, view the statistics of the distance traveled and calories burned, and set an alarm for your fast sleep phase. It is important that your smartphone has Android 4.3 or newer version; for Apple analogues the programs are not as serious.
Battery capacity become 41 Ma H, chi 30 days of autonomous robot.

Xiaomi Mi Band 1 pulse is an improved model of the first series of fitness tracker. From the name of the device, it is clear that the function of heart rate adjustment has become additional - an indispensable element of an active life.

Instructions.

The features of the new model from the latest release include:

Visibility of LED display with high-brightness matrix and button, sensitive to the touches;
Flat panel display, embedded in bracelets. Before speaking, you can now press the module only from the inside of the bracelet, so as not to waste and cause damage to the devices;

As before, to use the official Mi Fit app for the Android or IOS platform, you need a Bluetooth 4.0 module or higher and firmware 4.4 and 7 versions.

"Xiaomi Mi Band 3"

The remaining version of the Chinese fitness tracker, which has high functionality and an affordable price. The new product has not yet been sold on the Russian market, but about its characteristics it is already clear that:

The autonomous hour of the robot gadget will be increased;
A full OLED display will appear;
The heart rate monitor works in continuous mode.

It’s too early to talk about the exact characteristics of the new “Xiaomi Mi Band 3”; there are no parts of the electronic product available for sale. Fans of the brand are eagerly awaiting the release of a smart gadget.

How does it work

The operating principle of the "Xiaomi Mi Band" fitness bracelets from the Chinese manufacturer Huami is simple and straightforward, but most importantly depends on the reliability of the data they rely on. Current versions of the bracelets have improved functionality, which allows you to efficiently cover a large number of steps (the first version of the gadget has a small reduction of 10-20% in the actual distance covered).

A pulse pulse sensor is installed on the back panel of the device (fitting to the arm). The device detects heart rate in an active and calm state, you need to move your hand towards your heart and sit there for 7-8 seconds, and it will be displayed on a small screen (the culprit is the Xiaomi Mi Band 1 model without a heart rate sensor).

Following the rhythm of the heartbeat, the intellectual device monitors the sleep phases and determines the sleep phase when the heartbeat becomes more frequent. At the specified frequency of impacts, the work of the Xiaomi Mi Band fitness tracker is indicated, until the speech, the gadget supports it miraculously and allows you to stay healthy for an uninterrupted period.

To simulate activity while running, you need to synchronize your smart gadget with the official app, and on your smartphone screen you will be able to see how many kilometers you have traveled and statistics for how many days.

Capabilities and functions

The sports gadget has many of the same functions as the skin model:

The pedometer measures the number of miles walked per day and converts them into kilometers. You can regulate your work and set the norm for what you plan to do in a day or simply monitor your activity;
Alarm. The classic alarm clock lasts an hour - the tracker vibrates several times after sleep. A “smart” alarm clock determines the phases of sleep, determines the phase of short sleep and literally selects the right hour for a quick awakening;
P_drakhunok twisting on the press. Additionally, new models will be suitable for cycling. Now this type of physical activity is on its way to the gym.
Heart rate monitor in trackers 1s and 2, The first one has no functions.
Running allows you to follow an activity and the rhythm of running while following an additional program. The bracelet records the data and transfers it to the smartphone.
Notifications about input calls and SMS will be sent with a short vibration signal, you can inform the gadget about the daily activity or other plans through the additional login. To speed up this function, you need to set the parameters for the Bluetooth program.

In order to start working fully with the fitness tracker, you need to install the official Mi Fit app on your Android or iPhone smartphone, or select other versions and create a special account in them. It’s much easier to keep statistics of air activity and additional functions, and it’s much easier to do it on a full screen, not on a small gadget capsule. After installation, you must go through a complicated registration process, during which you will need to enter information about your age, sex, and age. This information is necessary to monitor the calories burned according to the normal heart rate.

In the Mi Fit program, you can set the daily allowance, select the color of the ID and set up vibration for the input calls and notifications. The notification function is very useful and necessary for megacities, office workers, students and everyone else who gets bored with the buzzing of their phones during their work and creative process.

The fitness bracelet can be worn without taking it off for up to 20-30 days of active exercise. Here you can take a shower, swim in the pool, run, sleep and lead an active way of life. During the hour of sleep, a smart gadget monitors the activity of the heart and sleep phases. You can install two types of alarm clocks - the first and the most advanced. Initially to wake you up for tasks at an hour with a suitable number of vibrations (set to 5), the smart alarm clock will go off several days before the required hour and vibrate the most pleasant hour - during the fast sleep phase. Before speaking, the power of a smart gadget is possible from Microsoft, Android, IOS.

Materials

The frame of the cult tracker "Xiaomi Mi Band" is made from thermoplastic silicone vulcanization. The plastic capsule is made of magnesium alloy and polycarbonate, which means it is unique (similar to the first version of the "Xiaomi Mi Band 1" bracelet).

The silicone bracelet fits to the body, is plastic and soft, regardless of its simple appearance. On the hand it looks stylish and laconic. You can add accessories to the base of the resin and significant capsules: among the unique designs you can see metal, slimy, silicone in shades of beech, yellow, erysipelas.

colori

The "Xiaomi Mi Band" bracelets have a stylish, laconic design and minimalist style. The only thing that can be used to differentiate bracelets is the main color of the gadget.

The black bracelet is the most popular. Both women and men rob him. Along with a white tracker, it is considered to be universal and suitable for completing any look (including pairing it with a business style in the smock).

The colors of the "Xiaomi Mi Band" bracelets are presented in black, erysipelas, and the color of the accessories can be changed: just add a changeable strap. You can add a pendant for the capsule (traditionally black) and customize the design of the electronic gadget further.

Characteristics

A waterproof fitness bracelet with a heart rate monitor allows you to measure your heart rate and reduce physical activity or increase your energy level.

The waterproofness of the body allows you to wear the tracker directly in the shower and use your hands without removing anything from your wrist. How can you wet the fitness bracelet "Xiaomi Mi Band" - the most relevant nutrition for today's consumers. Our opinion is that it is possible, just do not bury the electronic device at a depth of more than 1 meter.

Charging takes as long as possible (up to a month) with active power supply and testimonials from real users confirm this fact.

The release date of the new generation of “Xiaomi Mi Band 3” has not yet been announced (the manufacturer expects to release it for sale in 2017), but fans all over the world are waiting for the new product.

Accessories

Here are the add-ons you can get for your fitness gadget:

Zminniy reminets black color with skin or silicone (blue, horny, brown, green, white, yellow, black);
Meal capsule orange, black or another color;
Charging cord;
Locking button for different types.

Accessories for Xiaomi Mi Band can be purchased separately, if one of them is lost or not in good order. You can replace the leather element by attaching it, but the capsule itself (if it breaks or breaks) is no longer possible – you will have to buy a new, full-value bracelet.

How to check the validity

You can download a copy of the original fitness tracker for our additional recommendations. Ozhe, the original sports bracelet "Xiaomi Mi Band":

There is a laconic square box with the Mi logo. The packaging does not contain any other symbols on the front side;
The box is sealed;
The internal instructions bear the Mi company logo;
The capsule of the bracelet bears the Mi brand logo on the left side, for pre-deceased patients - the serial number of the product (the same as the indications on the packaging);
To check the product status, check the serial number of the fitness tracker(located on each capsule under the aluminum insert) according to the indications on the box;
Illustration of indicators is whiter(except for the first version of "Xiaomi Mi Band 1" - there is a tricolor backdrop);
The original version connects with the official Mi Fit app called MIS1. Other known names of the bracelet do not allow us to call it a fitness tracker and talk about those that are similar.

To get the current version of the "Xiaomi Mi Band 2" bracelet or buy the remaining new third-generation product, you need to go to the official online store of the Chinese brand (as you know Chinese) or to the official representative of the brand in Russia, as option - buy a fitness tracker from a reseller on Aliexpress, having read about it in advance.

You can wear the bracelet for up to 20-30 days – the battery allows you to work and maintain your physical activity. The gadget must be removed in the shower or after washing your hands for an hour, if it is entrenched at a depth of more than 1 meter, it is recommended to remove it. You can sleep with the fitness bracelet of the Chinese brand - the device does not matter, but allows you to sleep, for which you can set the function of a “smart” alarm clock. You can wear it in temperatures ranging from -20 to +70 degrees, regardless of snow or rain.

Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is one of the biggest fitness bracelets on sale. It has proven itself to be a smart alarm clock, heart rate monitor, calorie burner, Crocomir, and many other functions. Let's take a look at the report, how it works, and what other possibilities may exist for the anniversary of Xiaomi and mi gangs 2. Let's take a closer look.

Advocate for IP67 standard;

Sensors: heart rate monitor, 3-axis accelerometer;

What's in the box?

The package is standard, the package includes the anniversary module itself, a silicone bracelet, a USB charging cable and the necessary documentation.

The tracker is inserted from the inside of the belt, after which it is secured to the “frame” and securely fixed.

Two versions of the anniversary

There are 2 versions of the smart Xiomimi Band bracelet - Chinese and international. A look around showed that their features are insignificant, but they stink. The first version has Bluetooth version – 4.0 LE, and the other – 4.2 LE. The abbreviation LE stands for Low Energy in English, meaning minimal energy consumption. The color of the screen is also different: the Chinese version has a warm color, while the international version has a cool color. Also, the first option has daily inscriptions on the back side of the module.

Most of the devices are different, however, experts confirm that the Chinese version of Mi Band 2 is cheaper and in no way inferior to the international one.

What is the purpose of the bracelet?

I’ll take a quick look around, now let’s talk about the functions of the smart bracelet - Xiaomi Mi Band 2.

When you use the heart rate monitor, you will see your heart rate very quickly.
Hurry up the number of miles passed. The function works perfectly, the destruction of the vim is small, and it does not respond to initial hand waves.
Keep track of how many calories you burn and how many miles you burn. Moreover, take it seriously as a sign of progress, like most fitness bracelets, and its speed.
Monitoring of restlessness and sleep quality.
Smart alarm clock.
Unblocking the phone.
A note about SMS and calls.

What about aggressive minds?

Virobnik states that the plant can be grown in the temperature range from -20 to +70 degrees. A look around and testing showed that this is true. Xiaomi Mi Band 2 in the freezer, after being turned off, responded to the button, and there was a reaction to cold and wet fingers. Also, in the cold, sports bracelets function properly.

The Mi Band 2 was then tested under a hot stream of water for about a year, and the results were pleasing. When turned on, the touch button responded once, and then did not respond. After trying the Xiaomi smart tracker, all functions work fully.

Autonomous robot

The documentation contains the term autonomous robot for a period of 29 days. The information is true, since a smart year old practically does not vikorist like a fitness bracelet, then just periodically marvel for an hour. If the battery is actively charged, drain it for 12-15 days. Just imagine that the Xiaomi Mi Band will work while you sleep and monitor your sleep.

Synchronization with phones and robots with programs

I'll be amazed at how to tune and adjust a fitness bracelet. There is a single touch button on the case, behind which the screen of the device touches and turns. We can synchronize the anniversary date with the smartphone, after which we can configure the required parameters in addition.

For whom is it necessary to add mi fit. Let's launch it, we'll take it from the wasteland. We are creating an account, for which you will need to enter your email and follow further instructions. Next, the mi fit program is turned on and ask for specific data: age, growth, birth date, birth - this is necessary for burning calories.

The death of Jawbone benefited the Chinese.

I am often asked what I wear Xiaomi Mi Band Pulse I want to have an Apple Watch. Everything is very simple:

The bracelet is always on the wrist, and not on charging (up to 40 days of autonomous work - reality);
- it automatically monitors sleep and turns on a smart lamp located at the other end of the room;
- the axis is already working more and more without any complaints or failures.

The only weak point of Xiaomi bracelets, compared to those of Jawbone, is that they have lost software and specific add-ons Mi Fit, which displays the minimum amount of data and does not give the same brown color.

Everything changed with the release of the updated Mi Fit 3.0 program. It so happened that immediately after this Jawbone announced her death. Let’s not sum up, but rather let’s look at what the Chinese have added that’s new.

Now my Russian language

The addition is now entirely translated into Russian language, and localization takes away the short story. Not all words fit correctly into a phrase; in many places the text does not fit into the specified field. It’s a pity, I don’t really appreciate the heckling iOS my English one.

Advanced analysis of walking and sleep

Now you can not only earn so many money per day/week/month, but how it flows into your life. The add-on tells you how much gasoline you have used to help you walk, as well as how much gram fat burn - it’s easier and more nutritious, lower in calories.

The program automatically compares your results with those of other bracelet bracelets and reveals how much better and smoother it is for the lowest number of bracelets. And several times a month, Mi Fit now puts together an initial picture of your average activity.

Sleep analysis has become both boring and useful. In addition to giving you points for the shortest sleep, it gives you a lot of pleasure for the sake of your enrichment, equal indicators are related to other koristuvachs of the same century and place of residence.

To further analyze the data, Mi Fit proposes to indicate your self-perception after waking up using additional emoticons. A smart alarm clock with the function of waking up in the correct phase of sleep in addition to what is still the case without turning around.

Training has become easier

The activity section has been shortened and updated. Here there is running on the street, running on the road, cycling and even walking. In settings, you can turn on autopause, advance the movement of the heart, and increase the pace.

This data is not transferred until the program Activity, but get from the program Healthy So there is no way to completely replace the Apple Watch with a bracelet.

Behavior tags for quicker recognition of various activities, as before, are available only to users Mi Band 2.

I especially don’t need a smart alarm clock, but the results and initial data about sleep and physical activity turned out to be even more reasonable. Corrected with the same addendum Jawbone Until more interactive fun emerges, please check out some tips on how to eat well (for example, what to eat you slept badly).

On the other hand, Jawbone bracelets were already bad at monitoring sleep, and sometimes seemed to save data. Only a reasonable alarm clock worked for them to stay on time, and that supplement would be even more useful and effective in the future.

Now there are no more Jawbone bracelets, which means that some features can easily migrate to Xiaomi bracelets.
