Review on Smart bracelet Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 7 Global for Russia, black by Celina Kedzierska

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

The bracelet, in its international iteration, provided access to the app via QR code, updated the firmware automatically, and 2022 was set as the default language. Finally, all that's left to do is link Xiaomi to your account and transfer over your data from your previous watch. It was a long shot, but it paid out in the end. It pinched the inside of your wrist every few days at first - a nerve? Not so with my previous wristwatches. Thankfully, a month after the purchase, this nearly never happens again, so I can't say for sure if the watch is to blame.

Pros
  • First and foremost, it serves as a watch, a pedometer, and a heart rate monitor for me. Compared to the Mi Band 4, I enjoyed the wider variety of features, such as the flashlight and the women's calendar. The battery-draining but otherwise useful Always on showing feature (the constant showing of the time on the screen). It's helpful that the watch can be charged without ever having to be removed from the strap.
Cons
  • The watch is a HUGE improvement over my old Mi Band 4. It's annoying that you can't off the watch's "Walk" feature, which constantly buzzes to tell you to get up and move around. While the bracelet is not planted, all notifications are turned off for me (yep, all notifications are turned off, save for incoming calls). At first, the bracelet's unexpected vibrations scared the crap out of me, but now I've trained myself to ignore them ("Of course, the bracelet, right now, right in the middle of a movie session / meeting at work, I'll jump up and start walking!"). Every few days, I have to remember to set the alarm because time always seems to fly by. If the alarm is set and the "screen lock" feature is used, you will not be able to disable it by just poking the off button on the device.
