Review on Smart bracelet Xiaomi Mi Band 2, black by Darius Permada Buana ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I do not advise buying this product, there is nothing to praise here.

The very first impressions were very favorable: a compact device selling for 1,500 dollars that offered such remarkable functionality (pedometer, pulse measures, sleep phases shows, vibro notifies about calls and sms, and even a clock and all this works for a month without recharging). Having tried my hand at this trade practiced by Chinese "masters," however, I was let down. The answer is yes, it does measure steps, and it does so fairly correctly; however, it continues to "measure" steps even when you are seated in a vehicle. As a direct consequence of this, the daily activity count is rendered meaningless. The pulse takes readings up to a predetermined point, beyond which it abruptly stops doing so altogether. Tambourine dancing is not going to solve the problem. Complaints about this issue can be found all over the Internet, but the only solution is to update to a newer version of the software, which happens once every month for three months. In the meantime, users must sit and wait until the new version is released, and then they must wait for the point at which the pulse no longer needs to be measured. It is not at all obvious how he identifies which phase of sleep one is in at any one time. Once he drew me different stages of sleep while he was lying there in the morning, there is no confidence left in this function after I removed it at night and placed it on the bedside table. It would appear that he creates them in this manner, based on the balda. The nighttime awakening is frequently overlooked. The plastic ring that was embedded in the bracelet to keep the capsule in place began to detach from the bracelet itself after about three months of use, which caused the capsule to start slipping out of the bracelet entirely. As a consequence of this, the functionality of the watch was reduced to only the time and the notifications, and there was also the possibility of the gadget becoming detached from the band and being lost. In general, I believe that this device is only beneficial due to its low price, and it is recommended to purchase it only for the purpose of testing whether or not a fitness tracker is required at all and with what functionality, and then to upgrade to more sophisticated devices that are more costly.

Pros
  • Small. Affordable cost
Cons
  • The functionality that has been declared is implemented in an incorrect manner.
