A wonderful product, its nice to use.

I didn’t like the native Mi Fit program . Very stupid and uninformative (the program interface is generally slurred . they thought of making a white font on a pale blue background .) . I downloaded Notify & Fitness for Mi Band from the Market (free version ). This is what I use and recommend to others! There are very "tasty" bracelet settings and clear statistics. In addition, you can download the PRO version (paid), which has such settings that I lack in regular versions (increase in the duration of the bracelet vibrating, new icon icons, etc.).
Very high quality bracelet from a good reliable manufacturer for ridiculous money! The family also has a smartphone (Xiaomi Redmi 3S) from this manufacturer. The owner of Xiaomi is called the Chinese Steve Jobs. Apple products for the Asian market are manufactured at Xiaomi factories.

Pros

I chose for a very long time, incl. according to reviews on the Internet. As a result, I settled on Mi Band 2. The main requirements were not so much fitness functions (information about the distance traveled, heart rate, calories burned, sleep, etc.) as notification of an incoming call, SMS, message from social networks and an alarm clock. The bracelet didn't disappoint! Now I don't miss notifications! The bracelet immediately vibrates on your hands when you receive a notification. It is very convenient when the smartphone is deep in the pocket of a down jacket, in a briefcase, or you are not next to it or have earphones from the player in your ears. An icon of a particular event also appears on the screen. Fitness functions . in my opinion - toys (I have no idea why the predecessor was needed without a display! .) . After two weeks of use, I pay attention only to monitoring sleep and heartbeat (in Notify & Fitness for Mi Band I set the hourly measurement - once an hour), you can view statistics for the previous day in the morning. The distance traveled and calories burned . in my opinion - pampering, because they are very inaccurate and conditional . Although in Notify & Fitness for Mi Band steps are converted into mileage. But after all, the length of the step is different for everyone . Well, and he, of course, will not replace specialized medical devices for measuring certain indicators . It sits very comfortably on the hand. Weightless. The silicone bracelet does not rub your hand and looks stylish on your hand. It’s a pity that the screen is not glass, but plastic . I don’t know how long it will last until it gets scratched .

Cons

1) Fat minus - the display of information on the display lasts no more than two seconds . In winter, you won’t have time to get to the screen of the bracelet through the sleeves of your jacket, sweater - it’s already dark . and you have to climb behind your smartphone . to see what kind of notification it has come . It would be more logical to make the notification appear until the owner cancels it (from a smartphone or a bracelet button). With the paid version of Notify & Fitness for Mi Band, downloaded from the Market, this shortcoming can be eliminated. There, even in the free version, you can increase the duration of the vibration. 2) Well, and in the sun, of course, a screen for people with not very good eyesight . so to speak . not very readable . The numbers are too small . For the sake of "long play" (it can work from 20 to 30 days without recharging - depends on the settings, the use of alarms, the frequency of measurements specified in the settings, etc.) sacrificed some conveniences . I would have had 10 days without recharging, but so that the screen was more readable and notifications were displayed on it for a longer time ! 3) I didn’t like the Mi Fit native program . Very stupid and uninformative (the program interface is generally slurred . they thought of making a white font on a pale blue background .) . I downloaded Notify & Fitnes for Mi Band from the Market ( free version). Try both - you will understand the difference! This is what I use and recommend to others! There are very "tasty" bracelet settings and clear statistics. In addition, you can download the PRO version (paid), which has such settings that I lack in regular versions (increase in the duration of the bracelet vibrating, new icon icons, etc.).
