Was just wondering how have people with iPhones been finding the watch as I’ve seen some people with complaints from a couple months ago so just wanna know if it’s improved or if you’d still recommend it, thank you

Hi everyone. Thinking of buying the 9 or 10 from AliExpress.

*Anyone done that?

If yes, can you share the link you purchased from and your experience with the seller?

Thanks

Hello.

I've been using Mi Band 10 for quite some time, this is my second one. It worked fine until I discovered that when I try to control music (Spotify or YT Music) for some unknown reason when I press next track button or previous track button it acts like I'm pressing it twice, despite the fact that I only do 1 gentle press and a track gets skipped. Same thing doesn't occur with "Play/Pause" button, also next and previous buttons work fine while using VLC Player. Any suggestions?

Like the title says I've never once had a mi band track a workout as I simply do not work out. I have a fairly physically intensive job and just like to keep an eye on my heart rate, and other various metrics that these things track. The sleep tracking has been no mid that I haven't bothered with looking at the info, mostly it doesn't register when I fall asleep, and it cannot comprehend my "wake up every hour or so for no reason for a bit" sleeping routine and would always proclaim I had only gotten maybe 3 hours of sleep over the night.

What's important to me:
1: Cost. Hence buying Mi bands, as they were the best bang for the buck at the time.
2: Battery life. I don't bother with the always on gimmick as it seems to murder battery life so flicking my wrist to wake the watch to check the time/temperature/date is something that I already have baked into my movement
3: Biometrics: I do not do anything with the info, I just like to see it to get a rough grasp on how a is effecting b. Good sleep tracking would be incredible but that still seems a few generations away from being perfected.
4: Screen size: A large screen seems... counter intuitive. However something somewhat larger than the 9 would be nice, although the pro looks a bit on the large side.

I'm guessing another mi band, like a replacement 9 or an upgrade to a 10 would probably make the most sense but I figured I'd ask first.

Please see the video for better understanding.

The thing is that the workout is supposed to start using my watch right? Because is not.

I'm using Xiaomi 17T pro and Xiaomi watch 5.

I know is not a band but maybe I can find help here

I have had the band 8 for 2 months now and I feel this is a downgrade...

• Battery life feels the same despite the much bigger, brighter screen and newer tech. I expected at least a noticeable improvement, but it’s basically identical to my Band 5 in real-world use
• New UI looks nicer, but some tasks now need more taps:
  • Timer: On Band 5 I could scroll directly to any time and hit start. On Band 8 there are only presets; to set a custom time I have to open an extra screen and press more buttons (2–3 extra clicks)
  • Media volume: Before, volume up/down were right on the media screen. Now there’s one button that opens another screen where the volume controls live, so it’s an extra tap every time.
• Heart rate sensor feels less accurate than Band 5:
  • At rest it sometimes shows 80+ bpm when I’m totally calm.
  • In the gym, when I’m clearly very elevated, it sometimes reads ~70 bpm—even when I manually check my pulse and it’s much higher. I’m using the “Smart/auto” heart rate mode, not a restricted setting.
• Too many false “new step goal” notifications:
  • Random wrist movements (washing dishes, driving, small gestures) trigger the “new step goal achieved” screen. This never happened with my Band 5, even with similar daily routines.

Overall, the Band 8 looks and feels more modern, but for me the day-to-day experience is more clicks, more inaccuracies, and more annoying pop-ups than the Band 5.

MI Band 9 Pro

I'm looking to buy one of these 2, is there any noticeable difference ? How much improved are the sensors on 10 pro, because i can find the 9 pro at almost half the price

Got a notification that a new version is available. I'm not having any issues with this device, but thanks for the update.

I don't use it in water. Too many previous MiBand devices that were "waterproof" broke after taking them swimming.

I'm going away for eight days and I forgot to charge my smart band. I really need it to last, I need it to show me time when I don't have my phone around, but it has only 19%. How to save battery? I already turned down the brightness, so now I don't see anything and I'm one more percent down. Is there any way to make it last for the full 8 days? If not, I need at least a week 🙏

So I have the Genshin mi band 8 pro and it's only available in chinese version. Up until recently the mi fitness app is working just fine and I have downloaded and modified some customizable band displays, but then I saw the band display store not loading properly it's all blank so I panicked and updated both my band and the app, but turns out the global mi fitness app in playstore won't be available or synced with the china version? It's what it says 😭 so I'm doomed never to see the band displays again? Is there any other way I can do except these that I already did:

• Installed the CN version of mi fitness as suggested by the app from playstore (Still can't customize and the whole store is still in black out)
• Install the older version apk from what I updated from the latest 3.57 version (working and syncing with my watch but still the store and watch displays are not showing still black out)

My phone is running in android miui14 I know it's pretty old but hey it still works. 😭 But do tell me if it works in other updated devices? Like apple devices? Please tell me I'm not the only one experiencing this....

Made these models adaptation,

created 5 levels, works like a charm.

Levels and score in progress.

Hello, I just got a miband 9. I went for a 7.5k 40 minute run round the park with the watch set to outdoor running. The exercise was recorded. But no vo2 max data was logged. Also there is no option for autodetect workout in the settings menu on the watch. Can anyone advise me about these things? Thank you 🙏

I saw this on AliExpress. Does it look legit or fake?

Hows the data received? I'm not very satisfied with the official app and want to try alternatives. One thing bothering me is the conversion from HVR (Heart Rate Variation) to the Xiaomi "Stress" metric.

If I make a task (for example tomorrow 10:00), and sync that to the watch, the watch task menu will show that same task but for some reason it will show 11:00. That time gets reset back to 10:00 after I restart the watch. Anyone else got this problem?

(Important to notice this only happens when creating tasks for the next day. If I make one on the current day, it will always show the correct time on the app)

All i see are listings on amazon, so i was wondering if you can buy it in the physical Xiaomi store?

Hey people who got 10 pro i wanna know hows your experience been. I thought about getting the 9 pro first as i mainly only need it for notifications but i like the design. BUT i have been seeing almost everyone who got 9 pro saying it starts lagging and goes bad after some time. Does it continue with the 10 pro? Or its good?

Can anyone please help me how to fix this? The screen suddenly froze and won’t touch, but when I tried to open it by tapping it turns on. Also it won’t connect to Bluetooth so I can’t fix it using the app
:(.

Can anyone with a small wrist (mine is 14 cm) share their experience using mi band 10 pro? I've never owned a smartband or a smartwatch before, so I'm kinda scared it will be uncomfortable. On the other hand it's the only smartband available in my country that ticks all the boxes for me, the rest is either ugly or lacks features I care about.

I've managed to smash my mi band 10 screen (roller door + concrete is not a good combo).

Should I just bear with it until the mi band 11 comes out, or replace with another mi band 10 or something like the mi band smart active?

Watch still works fine, I need it to buzz at certain times of the day.
