Xiaomi Mi Band 3 Smart Bracelet Steps Count Sleep Monitor

The 0.78-inch OLED touchscreen only has a resolution of 128 x 80 pixels but don’t let that put you off. It responds well to touches and swipes, and the single capacitive button is the only other point of interaction you’ll have with this smart wearable. Everything else is pretty darn sleek and feels very much like a refinement of previous models.With a silicone band, you get what you pay for — comfort at the expense of style. However, it is possible to swap out the band if you’d like to. There are plenty of cheap silicone bands on eBay and Amazon that give you the option of a different color device without having to spend a fortune.I personally like a silicone band as it’s much more comfortable than any other type of strap, though it isn’t perfect as the clip will no doubt become slack after a long period of wear. It’s kind of a good thing that these devices are so cheap.Waterproofing is guaranteed up to 50 meters or 5 atmospheres which means the Mi Band 3 is the perfect swimming companion. Overall, this entire package reminds me very much of Fitbit Alta, albeit slightly less angular, though that device costs nearly triple the price of the Mi Band 3In usage, the menu is very basic with dot-matrix style icons denoting your menu choice and just pressing and holding the capacitive button enters submenus and activates the extra modes. Those modes include heart rate monitoring, basic step counters, distance tracking, calories burned, weather and workout tracking.Using the workout tracker you can get a better handle on your daily exercises and it works well and, in my opinion, pretty accurately. I wear the band almost all the time rather than a normal watch and it doesn’t impact my comfort, especially when I play soccer or if I head to the gym.The biggest downside is the inability to track anything more than running and outdoor cycling workouts, so you may have to use a combination of devices if you want to work out just how many calories you burned after completing a 5×5 deadlift session.Beyond the exercise management and tracking, you can get basic push notifications to your wrist. These are simply pushed from your device to the Mi Band 3 and need to be setup to do so, otherwise, you’ll be left waiting for non-existent buzzes on your band when your phone gets a message.with its 110mAh battery. It can easily last up to 20 days and I can confirm that this really is the case, the battery is simply superb. Avoid setting heart rate tracking to every minute as this reduces battery life to under 3 days.The tiny OLED only powers on when you tap the display or the capacitive button, so there is some serious power saving there too. I’ve charged my device a grand total of once — that was over a week ago — I still have over 70% battery. If battery life was a concern to you, rest assured you’ll have no issues with this device.

Produit fantastique. Après avoir déballé la Mi Band 3 et l'avoir fixe sur mon poignet, j'ai tout de suite été frappée par sa beauté. Il présente une surface très lisse, incurvée et brillante, qui a une apparence et une sensation bien meilleures que celles du Mi Band 2. Il coûte beaucoup plus cher mais est de qualité supérieure. Ne vous attendez pas à des protections d'écran décentes, car elles sont généralement inutiles avec le verre bombé. Je ne sais pas si c'est du verre résistant aux égratignures, mais le Mi Band 2 a toujours eu l'impression d'être en plastique, le 3 ressemble à du vrai verre. Mon instinct me dit qu'il ne se rayera pas aussi facilement que sur l'écran de la Mi Band 2. La fonction de vibration n’est pas aussi forte qu’elle était sur le Mi Band 2 mais est suffisante.L’écran est nettement plus lumineux que celui du Mi Band 2. Si je devais deviner, je dirais qu’il est environ 30- 50% plus lumineux que même un nouveau Mi Band 2. Certaines personnes disent que l'écran OLED du Mi Band 2 se dégradait et que le Mi Band 3 était seulement plus brillant que celui d'un ancien Mi Band 2. Je peux vous dire qu'il est nettement plus brillant que même un nouveau Mi Band 2. J’ai toujours eu du mal à lire l’écran lors d’une journée ensoleillée, mais le Mi Band 3 améliore beaucoup cela. Vous aurez tout de même besoin de couvrir un peu la lumière directe du soleil, mais c'est beaucoup mieux. LA SANGLE La sangle est plus ou moins la même chose à part une très grande différence: le Mi Band 3 reste à sa place beaucoup plus sécurisé. Il est en fait difficile de le sortir pour le charger. C'est donc une autre grande amélioration. Autre chose: la Mi Band 2 avait le bracelet, la "capsule" et une fine couche de plastique. Cette couche était à l'intérieur de la sangle, où la capsule est attachée. Cette couche de plastique s'est détachée au bout d'un certain temps (c'est ce qui est arrivé à Mi Band 2). C'est à ce moment que tout a commencé à se décomposer lentement. Le Mi Band 3 n'a rien de tel. C'est la sangle et la capsule, rien d'autre. En raison du nouveau mécanisme de la sangle, le Mi Band 3 est vraiment mieux, et plus longtemps, à l'exception de la sécurité. FONCTIONNALITÉ DE L'OUVERTURE L'écran tactile fonctionne correctement. Parfois, vous devez répéter un geste de balayage, probablement parce que la zone tactile est limitée à la zone d'écran et si vous commencez à balayer de l'extérieur de cette zone, cela ne fonctionne parfois pas. La plupart du temps, cependant. Ce n'est pas parfait à 100%, mais ça fonctionne plutôt bien.NOTIFICATIONS Les notifications fonctionnent bien, même en chinois, car elles sont affichées dans la langue (et les lettres) sur votre téléphone - tant qu'elles font partie du Alphabet anglais. Faire défiler des messages plus longs est un peu fastidieux, mais cela fonctionne et c'est certainement un grand progrès par rapport au MB2. Et v

Got Product In only 12 Days. Superfast Delivery By Gearbest. Loved It. Fantastic Product. After unpacking the Mi Band 3 and slapping it on my wrist, I was immediately struck by how much better-looking it is. It has a very smooth, curved and glossy surface, which looks and feels a lot better than the Mi Band 2. It looks a lot more expensive and premium. Just don't expect decent screen protectors, because they're mostly useless on curved glass. I don't know if it's scratch resistant glass, but the Mi Band 2 always felt like plastic, the 3 feels like real glass. My gut tells me it won't scratch so damn easily like the Mi Band 2 screen. The vibration feature isn't as loud as it was on the Mi Band 2 but equally strong.THE SCREEN The screen is definitely brighter than the screen of the Mi Band 2. If I had to guess, I'd say it's about 30-50% brighter than even a new Mi Band 2. Some people say the OLED screen on the Mi Band 2 was degrading and the Mi Band 3 only looks brighter compared to an old Mi Band 2. I can tell you that it's noticeably brighter than even a new Mi Band 2. I always had trouble reading the screen on a bright day outside, but the Mi Band 3 improves on this a lot. You'll still need to cover it a bit in very bright, direct sunlight, but it's a lot better.THE STRAP The strap is more or less the same except for a very big difference: The Mi Band 3 stays in it's place a lot more secure. It's actually hard to get it out to charge it. So that is another big improvement. Another thing: The Mi Band 2 had the strap, the "capsule" and a thin plastic layer. This layer was on the inside of the strap, where the capsule is strapped in. This plastic layer actually got loose after some time (happened to my Mi Band 2). That's when the whole thing started slowly falling apart. The Mi Band 3 has no such thing. It's the strap and the capsule, nothing else. Because of the new strap mechanism, I really except the Mi Band 3 to stay secured a lot better, and longer.TOUCH FUNCTIONALITY The touchscreen works fine. Sometimes you have to repeat a swipe gesture, most likely because the touch area is limited to the screen area and if you start swiping from outside this area, it sometimes doesn't work. Most of the time it does, though. It's not 100% perfect, but works pretty well.NOTIFICATIONS Notifications work fine, even with Chinese language, because they're displayed in the language (and letters) they're displayed on your phone - as long as they're part of the English alphabet. It's a bit cumbersome to scroll through longer messages, but it works and it's definitely a big improvement upon the Mi Band 2. And you can even check them after some time, not only the second you get them

Pros: price, ease of use, battery life, weightThe screen is larger than in Xiaomi Mi Band 2 - it is an OLED panel with a diagonal of 0.78. This is a touch screen to come often requires a few clicks or sweeps around the screen to get to the menu we need. It improves with time, when we get used to the device.At the bottom of the screen there is a touch button that you can hold to activate functions, or press to return. It worked without any reservations.The screen itself is black and white, with a slight blue tint to white, and the resolution is 128 x 80 pixels.The Mi band 3 display performs well in sunlight, everything is still legible and clear.The strap itself is made of silicone, it is comfortable to wear throughout the day - even during sweating, Xiaomi does not yet offer any other materials for straps, but there are other sellers who sell alternative straps.Tracking steps in Xiaomi Mi Band 3 seems accurate during my testsHowever, we will never achieve a perfectly accurate result from the wristband.On the back of the band there is a heart rate sensor that is directly on the skin. It is not always turned on, so you will not constantly record heart rate; instead, you must activate it to get the result and record it in the Mi Fit application.The headband also displays 3-day weather in a place that we set in advance in the application.The 'EXERCISES' option is also available, when we enable it, the stopwatch and the calorie counter start off. In addition, we can see our pulse and the hour.We can take a swimsuit for the pool or shower because it is waterproof up to 50 meters.We also have notifications that we previously selected in the MI Fit app. We can later see the history of the last 5 notifications on the armband. This is a very useful function.The headband also has an alarm clock available, and we set it, of course, via the application on the phone. alarm clock works, the alarm clock vibrates what is to wake us up, we turn off the alarm clock by holding down the button at the bottom of the screen.An interesting function of the band is also Sleep Monitoring, we can see how much we slept, how much our deep and shallow sleep lasted. Additionally, in the application, we can compare our time with other users at the same age.Xiaomi Mi Band 3 weighs less than 20g, we do not feel that we wear it. The dimensions of the band are 17.9 x 46.9 x 12 mm.The Mi Banda 3 battery has 110mAh, which lasts for about 15 days of continuous use. It charges from 0-100 in about 2 hours. This is a very good time.SummaryPros:-price- ease of use- battery life-weightMinuses:- screen sensitivity- the screen is easy to draw- there is no possibility of receiving a call from the level of the band

Pros:best band in best priceColor:Black Size:CHINESE VERSIONPros:Like pretty much everything I've ever purchased from Xiaomi, the MiBand 2 is great. After using the older generations of the MiBand for the last 2 years, I have a fair idea about the stress points about these bands and subjected this one to a 6 month long test. Here are the results: 1. Build Quality True to their USP, the build quality of this band is fantastic. No complaints with the device or the strap's quality. It's hard to scratch the glass, although I did manage to scratch the alluminium button after about 2 months. 2. Step Tracking A real step up from MiBand 1, the step Tracking is actually pretty realistic and accurate now. The App and the Band work in sync to learn your step pattern and get more accurate over a course of a few weeks. ProTip- when setting up your band, don't hazard a guess. Give your accurate hieght and location of the band. It makes a lot of difference. 3.Sleep Tracking To me, sleep tracking has always been satisfactory with the Mi bands. however the introduction of the Heart rate based sleep tracking gives me more accurate sleep results (REM cycles are actually consistently tracked) . Although if you don't wear your band tight enough, the green light might disturb you in your sleep. 4. Heart Rate Monitor Now this is what Xiaomi is selling, but to me this blows hot and cold. Some days it works really well, but some days it just either shows absolutely innacurate results (96 BpM when I'm basically just resting in my recliner), or shows no results at all (displays a cross) I have found that keeping your band's underside clean of sweat and grime, and wearing it in the right position goes a long way in giving you accurate results. 5. Battery Life This is where it really blows other fitness trackers out of the water. I tend to keep my Bluetooth off and sync my band twice a day with my phone. I do however use the band to check the time about a 100 times a day, and periodically check my steps and calories on the band display too. With this usage, the band easily lasts me between 20-25 days on a single charge (unbelievable, I know). When I used the vibrating alarm every morning, it lasted me about 15-18 days. 6. Water Resistance The water resistance is actually really great. I never take my band off before going for a shower, and have worn it in the pool multiple times with no signs of trouble. All in all, I would give this band a perfect 5 because it scores well on every count and has no legitimate competition in it's price bracket. Jump in with your eyes closed.Cons:NoneI BUILT THIS LINK AND GOT ​​A DISCOUNT: www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_009928044572.html?wid=1433363&lkid=15436154&lkid=18839092
