The Mi Band 2 fitness bracelet is a very popular accessory in the world. At its price of $25, the tracker has practically no drawbacks. It is sold with a complete black silicone strap, and if you have been using Mi Band since the first generation, then the black strap could have bored you. In this review, we are going to tell you about the best replacement bracelet straps that can freshen up your look.
Original colored silicone straps
If you are a fan of everything stock from the manufacturer, then Xiaomi has original colored straps for Mi Band 2 for sale. Among the available colors are orange, green and blue. In design and material, they are the same as the original black bracelet.
Xiaomi was in no hurry to release accessories for Mi Band 2 and third-party manufacturers managed to create a whole army of non-original straps. In order not to fall for the trick, below is a link to purchase an original Xiaomi bracelet from a trusted seller.
Metal bracelet
If a fitness bracelet is gradually replacing a beautiful metal watch from your wrist, we offer the following solution. Place the tracker in the same metal bracelet as the watch. It is worth noting that this is not an original strap, but from third-party manufacturers, but so far no one has complained about the quality.
Such an accessory costs about $ 9, a choice of three colors is offered: silver, black and rose gold. Mi Band 2 with a metal strap will look more serious than with a silicone one and it will not be a shame to wear it under a suit.
leather strap
Another accessory for Mi Band 2 from third-party vendors is a leather bracelet for the tracker. Here, not genuine leather is used, but a substitute. But the strap in China costs only 4-5 dollars, so he can be forgiven for this.
There are two colors to choose from: brown and black. The frame itself, where the capsule is inserted, is made under the metal. This solution looks beautiful and serious, and also fits the classic style of clothing, like a metal bracelet.
Interchangeable khaki bracelet
A more sporty option is a silicone strap for Mi Band 2 with khaki coloring. On sale there are blue, green and gray pixel color options for the bracelet case. The cost is very affordable, within 1.5 dollars.
Leather strap with pocket
This strap is designed for lovers of leather accessories. It has the design of a classic bracelet with a special pocket for Mi Band 2. The tracker is held by a transparent plastic insert with a special hole for the touch key. Available in black, grey, red and brown. The issue price is about 9-10 dollars.
Stylish knurled strap
If you are looking for a beautiful strap for Xiaomi Mi Band 2, but metal and leather do not appeal to you, pay attention to this grooved version. The main material here is silicone and metal (capsule container), it is thinner than the stock bracelet and is offered in four colors: purple, black, gray and silver. The price is about 4-5 dollars in China.
Oh, how I was waiting for my birthday to come in order to order a gift for it - Mi Band 3.
The fact is that I already had Mi Band 2 at that time, which I already wrote about.
Just half a year of its use has already passed and a new version 3 came out - I just could not resist buying it, since I really liked version 2.
Yes, and besides, I love all sorts of things to control my activity - very often you just forget to move, you don’t understand how much you walked today and whether you walked at all, etc.
PURPOSE OF PURCHASE:
I wanted to get more features than in Mi Band 2, and also because of the display itself, which is brighter in the 3rd generation and is already visible even in sunlight, which was not in the 2nd version.
MANUFACTURER: Xiaomi
PRICE:$ 24.66 (at the time of purchase it was 680 hryvnia)
EQUIPMENT:
- The tracker itself
- usb charger
- Instructions in Chinese and English with pictures.
MAIN DIFFERENCES Mi Band 3 from Mi Band 2:
- Excellent moisture protection, allowing the bracelet to withstand pressures up to 5 ATM. That is, you can swim with it, but it is not recommended to dive;
- The presence of a version of the bracelet with an NFC chip;
- Support remote smartphone unlock and find smartphone function;
- Gesture control support;
- Display text messages, caller name, etc.;
- View weather for 3 days;
- The ability to reject calls with a long press on the special recess of the fitness bracelet;
- Larger, brighter and clearer 0.78" display;
- The overall dimensions of its capsule are 17.9x46.9x12 mm, and the weight is only 8.5 grams;
- Capable of performing about 30 different functions.
And now in detail and I will try to be brief
HOW DO I USE MY FITNESS BRACELET Mi Band 3:
1) How clock, calendar- raised her wrist saw
2) I track my activity and the distance traveled in the form of a pedometer - for those who monitor their health, this is a necessary thing, there are also pedometers on the phone, well, you won’t carry your phone everywhere with you? ..
3) heart rate monitor- for me, this is a very important and necessary function, like measuring my heart rate in different situations and even during training and breathing exercises. So it happens to a spouse or another person, if necessary, put on a bracelet and within 10-15 seconds there is an exact result (tested on a tonometer).
4) Incoming call and message alerts- an awesome feature that I didn’t use on Mi Band 2 before, because there was no caller or incoming message, but there was only vibration without inscriptions. Here you can see everything who is calling, you can even reject the call or accept it. And it turned out that although it seems like a small screen - well, it is very convenient to read incoming text from Viber or another application from it - you don’t need to go somewhere, for example, into a bag or pocket or look for a phone around the apartment to read it. Raised his hand read, satisfied or dissatisfied, it all depends on what he read (joke).
5)Sleep rhythms or sleep monitoring - in principle, nothing has changed much here compared to Mi Band 2. Everything also measures the duration of sleep, its activity, wake-ups, and in the morning I can see the whole detailed picture of my sleep on my phone and also recommendations like I went to bed late and I need to go to bed earlier, etc. - I love this feature.
6) Function "Find phone"- super. When you click on it in the tracker, it's hard not to hear your phone - it beeps like it's some kind of siren. That's right, it won't get lost!
Provided that you have enabled on the phone BLUETOOTH!!! It is important!
7)Function "Exercise"- I rarely use it, well, I think it is useful for those who want to time their physical activity, to activate it you need to long press the button to activate it and start exercising, at the end it will give out: how much time it took to exercise, calories burned, pulse and etc.
With the Mi Fit app enabled When I exercise or go brisk walking, I can check my speed, mileage, heart rate and calories burned on my phone.
9) Great function "GET UP WALK"- she often reminds me that I have already stayed too long - I need to relax, warm up.
10)Weather forecast- it turned out to be very necessary for me, since we don’t have a street thermometer, and before I go out I always look for a phone to look at what the weather is like now, and now I just raised my wrist and waved the “magic wand” three times - just kidding, and shot weather and not only for today but for two more days.
IMPORTANT NOTE: in order to see messages, who is calling, the weather, find the phone - you must turn on Bluetooth!!! Otherwise, the miracle will not happen.
I also note that the battery life will depend on how long and often your tracker vibrates.
I have enough charge for 18 days, given that the bluetooth is always on, except at night, in the evening I turn it off until the morning - I think it makes no sense for him to bluetooth me at night.
And for you to understand, it has a 4th generation bluetooth, which has almost no effect on the discharge of the phone !!! It was also important for me to know.
WHY YOU SHOULD NOT GET THE GLOBAL VERSION OF MI Band 3?????
I tell:
I am very grateful to the person who came up with writing reviews, because based on them you can make or not make a choice on some product or service.
So, before buying a tracker, I read a lot of reviews, and almost everyone who bought this tracker with an already flashed Russian (or other language) version complains that Chinese characters are often seen along with Russian (other) language. Or not updated, or some other problem.
And it doesn't matter if you bought it in China or somewhere in your store with global firmware.
The best option is to buy in the original Chinese version and flash it yourself into the desired language - it's very simple.
HOW TO FLASH THE CHINESE VERSION OF Mi Band 3? :
- We take our tracker, charger out of the box and connect it to a computer or PowerBank, as it is not recommended to charge the tracker where more than 1-1.5 amperes - the battery will die faster! Why are we charging, since it is almost always discharged.
- We wait until it is fully charged - it will either vibrate or press the round button and it will show a full charge of 100%.
- We install the MI Fit application on your smartphone - go into it - register or log into your account.
- We take a charged tracker and put it near the smartphone - in the MI Fit application we press "Add device" and it will start to synchronize itself - it will vibrate.
- We do not touch the tracker - it will start updating - after the update it will ask you to swipe the screen - swipe - it will be activated
and he will start downloading the Russian version with updates.
- Voila - you're all set! We read tips on the screen on how to wear a trekker, etc.
- We insert our trekker into the bracelet IMPORTANT - FROM THE TOP TO THE DOWN, STRETCHING THE STRAP LITTLE TO THE SIDES as if pushing it neatly from above with your thumbs. Actually, there is a drawing of the instruction in the box, well, I didn’t notice it right away and couldn’t understand why the display from below couldn’t fit into the strap ....
BENEFITS not yet mentioned:
- The screen is clearly visible even in bright sunlight;
- Batteries with Bluetooth constantly on last up to 18 days, the battery itself is 110 mAh. If you turn off the bluetooth more often or don't let it vibrate for a long time, I'm sure the battery will last longer;
- Quick battery charge in 1.5-2 hours;
- Easy firmware update via phone;
- Protection against dust and water - I almost never take it off, I take a shower, pour cold water over it.
MINUSES:
- as for me they are not there, if you wear them carefully, then the display does not scratch (someone wrote that they were scratched).
HARM FROM THE FITNESS TRACKER Mi Band 3 lies in the fact that you cannot take it off - over time it becomes to you as something integral to yourself, as a part of you.
In my opinion, this is the best fitness tracker in its price category at such a budget and affordable price, and with such advanced, I would even say the most necessary functions.
I already bought two more of these as a gift, though I bought them in local ALLO stores so that people would have a guarantee for 1 year, you never know. And all of them were with their native Chinese version - which is great!
I also bought myself original straps in blue and red, also on Aliexpress.
By the way, this is also a big PLUS that the 3rd version of the tracker came not only with a black strap, but also with two additional colors - the straps are also super-duper in no way differ from the black one out of the box.
Glad my review helped someone!
Of course, everything in this world is relative and individual, well, I am very pleased with the gift and can recommend it.
All the best and bright mood!
"Mood does not depend on life, life depends on mood!"
Pavel Gorodnitsky - about the pros and cons of a gadget that costs only a couple of thousand rubles and is sold in crazy numbers.
At the very end of spring, Xiaomi presented the long-awaited tracker Mi Band 3. The initial reaction of the fans is complete disappointment. Fans believed that the Chinese would integrate GPS and a color screen into the bracelet, but the hopes did not come true: if you look only at the characteristics, then the third generation of the device is almost the same as the second. A little more screen, a little better autonomy - that's all the progress. However, in the first three weeks, Xiaomi shipped a million new Mi Bands to stores - the demand was crazy.
In Russia, the device also appeared almost immediately - it could be taken in "gray" stores or ordered directly from China. Many of my friends have already acquired this device, and I tested it for several days. A slice of impressions is below.
The main thing is the price
Xiaomi acted very cleverly: they took advantage of the brand's fame, saved on production and set the lowest possible price tag. All this led to the fact that all competitors were washed away from the market of budget trackers - only Mi Bands remained.
The third generation of the bracelet costs only $26. In Russia, they ask for 2-2.5 thousand rubles for it, if you contact the "gray" sellers, and a little less than two thousand, if you wait for a package from Asia. That is why the question: "Why do you need it?" most people answer like this: "Yes, it's so cheap, why wouldn't you buy it. If I lose it, break it, or just get bored, it's not a pity."
You need to understand two things. Firstly, if you want to save money on a tracker from Xiaomi, it is wiser to stop at Mi Band 2 - it now costs about a thousand rubles. Secondly, it's stupid to buy Mi Band 3 from official retailers - they want 4 thousand for it, and this is crazy. Cheating by almost 2.5 times is absolute chaos, be careful.
Screen is big but not perfect
The main feature of Mi Band 3 is a relatively large (for a bracelet) OLED screen. It is needed to show the time and display notifications. In principle, the display copes with missions, but there are nuances. The most unpleasant minus is sunlight: it is clear that due to a very cheap matrix, the screen becomes critically blind under direct rays.
The second compromise is notifications: there is no Russian language on some bracelets without flashing, so carefully study the device before buying. However, Cyrillic support is still far from ideal - there is a huge distance between the letters, so reading messages is inconvenient.
But still, the owners of Mi Band 3 note: if you correctly configure the notifications themselves, the bracelet will vibrate only in the most important cases, and this is a useful option. For example, when a taxi arrives and you don’t want to take your smartphone out of your pocket once again.
Heart rate monitor - the most pleasant surprise
The old Mi Band 2 has a heart rate monitor, but it is more like a random number generator - you can put two bracelets on two hands, and then get significantly different indicators.
In Mi Band 3, there is also an error, but it is tolerable - it will definitely fit to monitor fat burning when you need to train in a certain pulse zone (for example, 135-150 beats). Therefore, for simple cardio exercises, the third Band is definitely suitable, but if every second heart rate tracking is required, it is better to take something more expensive. And this is logical, because a tolerable heart rate monitor for 2 thousand rubles is already a holiday.
What to expect from the battery?
from side to side" does not kill Mi Band 3. Although it is really better not to abuse diving and diving.
What are the coolest chips?
Health" (it is very beautiful). Although, unfortunately, much (including the alarm clock) is configured only in the proprietary Mi Fit app with its peculiar Asian interface.
What is missing?
Oh, yes, for such money it is super!", then there will be only one burning question: where is NFC?
The version with the chip will appear only in September and will cost five dollars more than the regular one ($31), but there is a good chance that it will be possible to pay with the bracelet only in China. That is, first Xiaomi says: “Pf, we don’t put NFC in cheap smartphones, because we don’t pay like that,” and then clamps down on the most useful chip for the rest of the world. It’s hard to follow the logic here - especially in China, however, they pay more often with the help of QR codes.
Buy or not?
As mentioned above, it is most reasonable to perceive Mi Band 3 as an inconspicuous and ultra-affordable bracelet with a solid set of useful features.
The tracker has little to do with real sports because of the budget of the sensors - the data will still be approximate and will not suit anyone except beginners and amateurs.
You can’t call Mi Band 3 a stylish accessory either: the design is very simple and minimalistic. But the bracelet is definitely beautiful as a souvenir - the device can be presented to anyone. And this is its most win-win and universal application.
