Recommendations for a chinese fitness band/watch

EDC Gear for Flashlight Carriers

I have been wearing fitbits to track activity and , more and more, use it for time. I just saw an ad for a smartwatch from gearbest for the “Original Xiaomi Mi Band 2 Heart Rate Monitor Smart Wristband”, it sounded pretty good. That also lead me to a couple others that do things like day and date, sms messages, etc. Any suggestions or reviews? Fitbits are really pricey, looking for alternatives, thanks

Huawei Watch.
Best bang for a buck.

Sexy, classy, great display, no flat tire. Mic and speaker included, you can talk via watch if needed.

Yikes, I guess I should rephrase my op, looking for a china fitness watch similar to a fitbit. the Huawei Watch is nice but way out of the budget.

Ouch, I misunderstood you.

I’d say xiaomi band “mi band” is one of the better ones…. mi band 2 has been upgraded with OLED display, making it even better.

I refuse to accept my ETA 6498-1 hand-wind mechanical watch is ‘Dumb’. :slight_smile:

This will be killer if/when if ever materializes:

Xiaomi is a force to be reckoned with. I really like all of the Xiaomi products I own, and the price is right.

I agree on THAT! :smiley:

I had the original miband, it’s a quality product.

I only lasted about week before I realized that I didn’t care at all to be wearing something to keep track of my steps and sleep, but the product itself is of great quality.

Xiaomi does look good, just wondering about other competitors. price is definitely right.

12

That is because what is alive and has a soul, you don’t call dumb :wink:

Xiaomi is one of the best Chinese brands. I would prefer mi band 2 over other Chinese smartwatches.

Mi band, I use the old version and looking to buy the latest one.

Bought two of these from Gearbest last month (with points) -
Xiaomi Mi Band 2
and
37degree L18 bracelet

I’ve been wearing the 37degree continuously (except for showers) and my partner has the Xiaomi.

The 37degree is cheaper, does not have a display, is larger than the Xiaomi, but it measures Blood Pressure.
Battery lasts about a week when checking/syncing via the quite good android app.
The app gives useful reminders about health and diet too.

The Xiaomi has a neat Oled display and the battery lasts a lot longer. The app is similar without BP.

Both do sleep monitoring.

Quite happy with the 37degree and am not lusting after my partner’s Xiaomi…

I have not downloaded the data from the 37degree to analyze in a spreadsheet yet.

YMMV etc.

thanks to all, looks like the xioami is the winner!
