Review on Smart bracelet Xiaomi Mi Band 2, black by Virot Wrintharawet ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

Watch. There are no particular assertions made. The fact that they do not display the date or the day of the week is the only thing that is unfortunate about them. The watch is in its off state while it is not being worn; in order to turn it on, you must either push the touch button or wave your hand in the appropriate manner. Yet, for some reason, when you make a wave in "real" conditions, they virtually never light up, and you are forced to either stand there like a fool waving your hand or release the other hand from your grasp in order to push the touch button. I used to wear a regular watch, and now that I don't, I realize that I truly miss being able to check the time by simply gazing at the watch in any position, without giving off the impression that I'm in a rush to be somewhere. Notifications on the phone. Displayed as icons (no detailed information). In general, I feel comfortable with this. Yet, the Bluetooth's range cannot be considered satisfactory because there is none at all. After he left the room, the bracelet will no longer send out a signal because it is now inactive. Comrade Pebble has a range that is many times greater; it can travel through walls for tens of meters. Strap. The dirt turned the white strap a darker hue within two to three weeks, and there is no chemistry that can restore it to its original color of snow-white. Because of the situation, I had to switch to a black bracelet. Pedometer. That is perfectly functional, yet there is no requirement for it. Before the bracelet, this function was handled very capably by the phone itself, specifically through the movements program. It appears that most individuals now have a phone with them at all times, and some phones even have the capability to count steps. You won't need to go out and get a bracelet for this purpose. On my phone, the smartlock function, which is supposed to automatically open the phone if the bracelet is synchronized, or is in close proximity, did not operate (meizu). Really sad. But, it's unlikely that the bracelet is to blame. Outcome. I believe that a bracelet (of the same series) should feature at the very least a long-range bluetooth, an alarm clock that can be switched off regularly, a smart lock, a watch that provides more information, and always have a long battery life (like the Xiaomi Mi Band 2:)))).

Pros
  • Constructed with care. The bracelet has excellent construction. Nice design. Maintains a very secure hold on the strap. Silicone straps do not cause skin irritation, and they do not produce sweat. Additionally, the bracelet is not noticeable when worn on the hand. Even when I go to sleep, I don't take off my bracelet. I did not made any more precise measurements, but it seems like the charge lasts for around two weeks.
Cons
  • Disappointingly, the functionality is lacking. The function that monitors your heart rate is of no value. Because I run on a frequent basis, I thought it would be a good idea to monitor my pulse, but it doesn't seem to be working. Only when the person is completely still can the pulse be accurately measured. It is not quite clear why these heart rate monitors need to be in bracelet form, with the exception of patients who are immobile. Only chest heart rate monitors are capable of providing a reliable reading of the pulse during strenuous physical exercise, this is the overall conclusion I got to after conducting my research. Either the wrist is lying or it will not measure. Nonetheless, it is important to note that the bracelet has the capability of using a heart rate monitor when tracking the phases of sleep. Yet, monitoring one's sleep is not nearly as useful. Sometimes the recorded sleep is extremely close to the reality, and you can see how much fast-wave sleep you had compared to how much slow-wave sleep you got. There is a correlation between the length of time spent in non-REM sleep and how sleepy a person feels. When you get more slow-wave sleep, you'll wake up feeling more refreshed. But, the bracelet does not always tell the truth; on one occasion, it stated that I went to bed at 3 a.m., despite the fact that I went to sleep precisely before 12 a.m. The outcome of monitoring sleep is that you are free to experiment, but it is not recommended that you purchase any kind of wristband for this purpose. Vibrating alarm. This is the part that appealed to me the most! It is a great relief to be roused from sleep by the gentle jingling of the bracelet rather than by the blaring of the music coming from the phone. It is important to have a bracelet for this reason. But even in this instance, there were obstructions present. It is necessary to tap on the alarm clock really forcefully in order to turn it off. It would appear that this was carried over from the prior model, which did not have a touch button. If you click the touch button, even accidently, or if you just oversleep the initial signal, the alarm clock will continue to sound every 10 minutes for another 3-4 times, and there is no way to stop it! You are working, but the alarm keeps rousing you from your sleep. To tell you the truth, it's rather distracting. The discussion will continue in the comments.
