Review on Smart bracelet Xiaomi Mi Band 2, black by Bali ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm satisfied, it's a good purchase.

I wanted a pedometer watch that not only included a heart rate monitor but also a couple of other smart capabilities, and I wanted it to have a lengthy service life. The pedometer was a hit, but the smart functions were a letdown; not that Applewatch was waiting, but there were two things that were a letdown: - Non-parameterizable notifications (I want different pictures for different applications, and different vibrations) - The watch is not comfortable to wear (it almost fades in the sun, the delay in displaying the time after bringing the bracelet to your eyes is about a second (so you brought it and you wait and think, if the movement is not detected, if the bracelet is still thinking)), and the bracelet displays the time about a second after the watch does. Although the movement is not always detectable, 85 percent of attempts are successful. The button does not always work properly on the very first press. I'm not completely clear on why it matters how much moisture is in the hands, but it seems to depend on roofing felts. The software does not understand how to keep track of the pulse (third-party software for the firmware has not grown yet). - A total of five applications can have notifications added to them. - The asking price is just too much. — Polypropylene is quite prone to scratches Unlike the previous, this one does not appear to be a decoration. Pleased: + It is now much easier to keep track of one's steps, and one may monitor their pulse directly from the gadget. + In size, it is greater, but visually, it is not too bothersome. + The heart rate monitor is tolerable; nevertheless, it is required to attach the strap more securely so that, during the measurement, the space between the arm and the bracelet does not remain. + Although the battery is large, the amount of time it lasts for me has decreased by 20% since the original models were released. It appears as though I have not waited for messages because neither the text nor the caller is displayed. So, this is not a drawback. And now we come to the features of the software specifically designed for iOS. One of the features of this software is that it does not provide notifications for the arrival of new messages sent through applications such as Skype or Viber; instead, it only alerts users to the arrival of new calls. In general, if you were looking for an ancient watch bracelet, then this one is probably certainly one for you. Only so long as there is no third-party software that can properly set up notifications, such as those seen in older wristbands or heart rate monitoring devices. I believe that during the next six months, the software will catch up, and everything will return to normal. In the meanwhile, it looks like we'll have to give up using some of the more practical aspects of the older bracelet. In general, I would suggest it as a substitute for Band1, but I would not consider it a competitor to Apple Watch. If I finish the notifications, then you'll see a five-star rating. And if you were to display the caller, the score would be 5 or above.

Pros
  • 15-20 days on the battery. The caliber of the pedometer Keep an eye on it. A monitor of good quality for the heart rate Small in size but qualitatively manufactured watertight to IP67 standards The alarm clock is quite convenient. Although there is sleep monitoring, it is impossible to determine the quality of the monitoring.
Cons
  • Notifications are a source of misery. Time display delays The sun's glare might make it difficult to see. There are scratches on the case. There are no additional hues of bracelets available at this time. Look like a watch, not a piece of jewelry The new pricing is listed as: Incompatible with the original model (neither charging nor straps) Notifications for just five of your applications alone Little computer programs (or rather, only a native application)
