Review on Smart bracelet Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 Global, black by Adam Sterlinski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money, I recommend it.

The bracelet provides precise heart-rate readings after comparing them with a chest-based monitor, showing the user all relevant metrics in real time during workouts, and announcing the most recent distance covered. Message and phone alerts are effective while in training mode. There is no built-in GPS receiver, but this won't be an issue if you have a smartphone with a large enough battery. Through the ZEPP FIT app, communication with the STRAVA account could be established. However, the STRAVA app does provide a "refine elevation differences" feature, although neither ME FIT nor ZEPP FIT do. The included instructions are somewhat dreary, so I recommend reading the frequently asked questions on the official website and searching the web for user tips before getting started with the product. When it's chilly outside, for instance, the sleeves of your clothes can be touching the touch screen of your device, preventing you from leaving the training mode on your own. The bracelet's "advanced"->"settings"->"screen lock" tab is where you'll find the lock, which isn't exactly where you'd expect it to be. When attempting to connect the bracelet (say, after disabling the "on the plane" option), the geolocation mode must initially be turned on (after connecting, it can be turned off); otherwise, the bracelet will not connect and no alerts will appear. Once you've worked out all the kinks, the me band is a great buy for those who value a high level of functionality in a wearable device but are on a tight budget.

Pros
  • Cost-effectiveness in relation to features. The device is small in size, does not stick to anything, and is comfortable to wear. Power lasts for a long time between charges.
Cons
  • Changing songs in the middle of a workout is not an option.
