Review on Ultimate Fitness Tracker: Xiaomi Mi Smart πŸ‹οΈ Band 6 - 1.56'' Offers Unmatched Features and Performance by Mateusz Maycha ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good and high-quality product, but there are disadvantages.

I use it with my iPhone. I only use it to track workouts (outdoor running, treadmill running, gym). I want to see the results in Apple's native Fitness app. Running is pretty good. You can run with native applications (there are as many as 3 of them in the AppStore, to which you can pick up a bracelet) and with special running applications. The bracelet will count steps and heart rate, the phone will track GPS (and will also count steps), as a result, all this is summed up in Apple Health and will be taken into account in Apple Fitness. In different applications (which are 3 - Mi Fitness, Zepp Life and Zepp) there are different possibilities for notifications when running (you can even monitor your heart rate zones) and a different set of variables that will eventually be synchronized with Apple Health. With the gym, everything is bad if you want adequate tracking at Apple Fitness. The watch has several special modes for the gym (Freestyle, Fitness), which simply turn on heart rate tracking in the bracelet and count calories based on this. The problem is that this data is not synchronized with Apple Health and in the native (for example, Mi Fitness) application, after a workout, you can see that there is a workout and 300 kcal have been burned on it, and in Apple Fitness this will be ignored, as well as the fact of training. If you walked between sets to the bar, Apple Fitness will take into account these steps and nothing more. Everything written above is not a bracelet problem, rather it is an iOS problem, but those who use the iPhone-MiBand bundle should keep this in mind.

Pros
  • Compact. Nice big screen. The ability to charge without pulling out of the strap.
Cons
  • Small (relative to Miband 4) battery life. Limited compatibility with iPhone (explanations in the comments).
