Review on Smart bracelet Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 RU, black by Ada Rola ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money, I recommend.

The bracelet precisely calculates heart rate, compares the information with a heart rate monitor with a chest sensor, shows all the essential metrics on the screen during training, and announces information on the most recent kilometer traveled. Alerts sent via SMS and calls are functional in training mode. There is no built-in GPS, however this is not a problem provided you have a phone with a large enough battery. Through the ZEPP FIT application, communication with the STRAVA account could be established. By the way, the STRAVA app features a "refine elevation differences" capability, however neither ME FIT nor ZEPP FIT display height differences over a course. Before using it, carefully read the FAQ on the official website as well as explore the internet for user tips, as the instructions in the box are fairly poor. There are several first unpleasant aspects. Due to the sleeves of the clothing coming into contact with the device's touch screen during the colder months, for instance, there is a problem with the sudden escape from the training mode. The lock is not very evident, in my perspective, and is concealed in the bracelet's menu under the "advanced"->"settings"->"screen lock" option. When connecting the bracelet, the geolocation mode must first be turned on (you can turn it off after connecting); if you don't do this, you won't be able to connect the device and no prompts will appear. This is true, for example, after turning off the "on the plane" mode. In general, the me band is a fantastic tool with good functionality for an active lifestyle at a relatively low cost if you take into account all the nuances.

Pros
  • Price and value in terms of functionality. The device's design makes it relatively small, comfortable to wear, and it doesn't stick to anything. a single charge has a long battery life.
Cons
  • It is impossible to change the music while working out.

With its pros. all functions work great. Its cons: when water hits the screen, it starts to constantly press and flip randomly.

Inexpensive fitness watch, which can be used in the gym, in the pool, and in the sauna with a hammam.
