Review on Smart bracelet Xiaomi Mi Band 3 Global, black by Jasmit Singh ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

I bought it live (if they find it, No. 97754), because they urgently needed it in pursuit of those ordered in China (they took a global card). The seller (most likely) made a mistake, and they sold me not a global, but a Chinese version. The firmware arrived with a normal 2022 font, did not pay attention to this. Then they compared it with the globalka, it has a different heart rate monitor, a brighter screen and more items in the "Information" menu (even there are EAC and CE). There are no functional differences, because the firmware is the same for everyone, but it's a little disappointing for the screen and the possible accuracy of the heart rate monitor. Be careful when buying. Added information after one and a half years of wearing. The battery lasts 11-12 days with a constant connection with notifications, incoming calls and an alarm clock.

Pros
  • Clear image on the screen. A good battery, with moderate use without frequent heart rate measurement and with a constant connection to the phone, lasts up to two weeks. It also charges quickly, one and a half to two hours. Pleasant to the touch bracelet with a comfortable clasp. On the hand sits quite tightly, the capsule in the bracelet too. Handy app with lots of useful features. Notifications, an alarm clock, a sleep tracker are my main arsenal, the quality suits me. The vibration is noticeable, but not very annoying. : Built-in stopwatch and timer, sometimes come in handy. There is really water protection, you can immerse yourself in water without fear.
Cons
  • Dim screen, barely visible in the sun (only large numbers). The pedometer winds up in the bus, considering the process a moderate walk. Distrust of the heart rate monitor. Sometimes it can underestimate or overestimate. I can only check manually, at least once underestimated. Follow the recommendations for wearing. Some applications are not friendly with bracelet notifications (Telegram instead of one throws a pile at once, for each unread chat). No music control (not so critical, there is a headset). You need to get used to the controls, you have to do swipes next to the home button, which you accidentally hit. Not for the thumb. : The strap collects dirt, so it is better to wash it periodically (fortunately, rubber). But with the daily removal and putting on of the strap, it lasts at best for a year, or even for six months, the eyelet on the belt comes off. As soon as you see a crack, order a new one, preferably an unofficial one made of leather or metal. When using a stopwatch, there is no feedback, you can forget about it and pretty much drain the battery in a short time (fun fact: the stopwatch goes to a maximum of 99:59 and does not start again until reset). The charging cable does not always come into contact with the capsule, sometimes you need to tinker to start charging. In addition, the capsule must always be removed when charging. Over time, the battery tends to discharge unexpectedly faster. Possibly degrading.
