Best review of mi band 6 out there !!!
Thank you so much for the feedback. I really really appreciate it 😀😀😀
yes, finally a review I can use, as I wanted to buy it as sleep tracker mostly...
Underrated
Thanks for the review! Does the band show strokes when swimming or how difficult is it to see them? I can't spot them when you are holding the band into the cam. Since I am mostly swimming fastened with a climbing belt in a small pool I'm counting only strokes.
love your laps counting test exactly what i needed
Great review, wasn't sure about getting one, but I'm definitely getting one now for my swims.
Good choice! thanks for watching
@@SeedubsMedia Can i know whether the mi band 6 can track our track and distance without bringing the phone. Because actually i do not want to bring my phone when running. It is possible the mi band 6 can track everything without bringing the phone in running?
@@marcust17_ hi yes it can and then you can just sync it to your phone later for the info to transfer
@@marcust17_ yes but without gps
@@marcust17_ But the accuracy will be very reduced, as the watch has no GPS
Mate, really apreciate your effort. Awesome review, cheers
Your welcome Nikko, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment 👍👍👍
It's just fking underated you just put your all efforts in making this video best for sure
Thanks for the vid mate! I wasn't sure about using my mi band underwater, but you just changed my mind
Thanks for watching man. I appreciate the support 👍👍👍
I have bought one yeestard... greetings from algeria
Awesome and welcome to the channel.
Excellent job man,, thanks for the well explanation and thoroughly detail
Thanks for watching Walid I really appreciate it.
I just purchased the 6. Mostly for the cycling feature, as I ride most days during the summer.
Greetings from the other side of the world, and thanks a lot for your amazing review, lad!
By the way, do you use the Xiaomi Mi Fit app, or the Xiaomi Wear App?
My manual recommended the latter.
I can't remember I am now on the galaxy watch until the mi band 7 comes out. Sorry for the late reply
Hello!
I wanted to know if while the band is on "swimming mode" it is posible to use the Chronometer?
I find sleep tracking to be fairly accurate, even comparing to a $200 Fitbit, also had none of your other problems
Hey Man! I would like to get this as a budget option for tracking swimming :) I have seen mixed opionions on its accuracy. Besides what you tested here and showed us, do you have any other experience with the Mi Band 6 for tracking swimming?
Hi Supperman it was pretty much the same the whole time. I went back to my old galaxy watch as it was more reliable.
Many thanks I enjoyed your video and I am loving my Mi Band 6. Cheers
Your welcome Neil thanks for watching
Have the myband6 the outdoor swimming program? Or do you think that the indoor swimming is ok for doing outdoor swimming ?
What??!? The video I need, omg, thank you so much.
Your welcome. Thank you for watching the video and supporting the channel.
thank u so much for such an excellent review!! the quality of your video is 💯💯💯
Thank you for watching and thank you for taking the time to leave a positive comment 🙏
Thank you! From Dominican Republic! 🇩🇴
You welcome, thanks for watching
Nice review. Concerning the swim mode, I'm regularly stuck in swim mode. I can't stop the training. The screen remains locked until I find a random way to unlock it without knowing how I did it. Can you give me some advice to stop the training in swim mode when I need to?
thank you so much i needed ths video because im gonna buy it for physical efforts purpose, i will try to do different sports so i wonder does it track the calories consumption very well ?
Thanks for the review! Amazing!
Your welcome thank you for taking the time to leave a positive comment 👍👍👍
I have the Mi Band 4, the tracking might be a bit accurate. The problem is that it's challenging to use the touch screen when your finger and watch face is wet. Can't start and stop a work-out when wet. How's it for Mi band 6?
Best video I've seen regarding swimming. I wanted to give you credit, by buying through your amazon link, but I guess that's an Australian-only link and so it doesn't work here in the us. In any case, thanks much for the great video
Hi Carol, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a positive comment. I really appreciate it. Yes it's a Aussie link but I'm just grateful for the view. Thanks again
hi, thanks for sharing!
Have you tried the smart band 7 in the pool? How is it going?
I heard that there are problems with tapping and swiping with wet hands, is this true?
Is it possible to monitor physiological parameters while swimming? or set an alarm if the heartbeat goes too high?
Great review! 👍🏼 thanks for sharing
Thank you Lidya for watching the video and taking the time to leave a positive comment 👍👍👍
Great video, thanks for making it! I would really appreciate if you could answer my question: does this band work for open water swimming? I swim in the sea so I'm not sure if it will work for me or if I need to get a band/watch with GPS capability.
Therefore, you better invest in a watch with GPS
I k1lled my Mi Band 5 for swimming in the sea. It started vibrating then went off. Now I've got the 6 and I think I will never take it to swim in salt water 😅
I'm new to smartwatches. If I have a running app on my phone to track my distance when running/jogging. What do I need a smartwatch for?
Thanks for your helpful reviews! Would you say the Mi Band 6 was as good at swimming tracking as the Mi Band 5?
Hi Jo about the same mate.
I have the same problem: hearbeat stops recording during swimming training. Not sure if its supposed to work during it or not?!
Hi. Can I load music on the watch? (I don't know if it has storage). For example, if I go running, can I listen to music from the watch, without having to carry my cell phone? Thank you
Hey wait a second, I know that library! :) How random, just looking for a review for swim tracking and turns out you're a local!
Only 1k views you deserve more views and it's good quality to
Thanks man, I can't figure out the views thing. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a positive comment 😃😃😃
I use mi band 5. While doing outdoor cycling, only the workout time is getting calculated in the mi fit app.. why total time is not calculated? Can anyone pls help..
Thanks, This review is really good.
Thank you bro i really appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏
Hello, when you cycling did the watch show gps on the band screen? How did you do that? And what app do you use? I saw on 1:12*
On watch it doesn't show the mini map until you have finished. It shows all the stats like distance and pace and speed but the mini map only afterwards. This is the generic Xiaomi software. Thanks for watching ✌️
Hi there, do you need your phone app to be connected to the band while swimming? probably a stupid question but the manual gives very limited info. Cheers, very helpful review.
Hey mate, na water breaks the connection with Bluetooth instantly. But it tracks pretty well on its own. No questions a stupid question 🙏
Do you need to make pause manually when taking a short brake or it will automatically pause
Nice review! Let hope xiaomi fix the heart rate issues and sleep tracking soon!
I hope so too, thanks for watching
How will they fix it
Hopefully with software
Tx for the review! My MB6 doesn’t track laps when I’m doing swimming drills that don’t involve strokes (kicking only). Is that normal? Is there a setting for that?
My did not track swimming at all😩
can you connect it to airpods/ does it have music functionality?
I can’t believe all this features with only $50!!😍
Definitely a great product for the price 👌
Got it for 36 € yesterday (around $40) 🤑
Awesome full review as always Sir
Thank you bruvs
Does it give you the time of every 25 metres? Does it stop when you are resting?
Nice review! One thing I'm curious about though, that you might be able to help me out with. Do you need to pair it with your phone or could you use it on its own? I would obviously not get the GPS tracking when running, but I'm mainly interested in the swimming part.
When swimming indoors at a pool, maybe I want to keep my phone in the locker room instead of bringing it to the pool. How would that work with the band?
do you mean never pair it with your phone? if so i think it may be a problem as you cant see any info after the workk out. But if you mean while swimming it, yeah its fine because the water automatically cuts the bluetooth connection.
@@SeedubsMedia Ah nice, so you can have it in the water and not have it connected to your phone, then pair it afterwards and look at the data from the session?
Yep certainly, but don't worry about disconnecting it as it will happen as soon as you hit the water.
does it need to be connected on phone when cycling?
Thanks for the swimming info
Sup dude! great video.
where can I download that face you have in 0:59 ?
Hey mate I'm pretty sure it was just through the watch app by Xiaomi
Did u try it in open water swimming ???
hi king. Your reviews are great and detailed. Are you going to review huawei band 6?
Hi emin, thanks for watching. I wasn't going to. Maybe people want to see it though. 👍👍👍
@@SeedubsMedia I'm getting the watch today. Pandemic bans in turkey have just ended. There is a popular 6-kilometer race in Istanbul. in August. My time is limited but I need to prepare. I can give you the huawei band 6 pool results here if you want. By the way, you should come to Istanbul. Many professional and amateur swimmers around the world would like to join here.
Istanbul would be an amazing place to visit. Oh and I just ordered the Huawei band 6. Should be here by Sunday and I will review it thoroughly. 🙏👍😃
@@SeedubsMedia You must come for August 2022 to istanbul. I am so glad for your order ( huawei band 6). I would be very happy if you could do a review for the pool. so, I would love to buy a garmin, but in the country I live in, I have to pay 3 months' salary for 1 garmin. lol
It has gps on mode swim ??
Honest review, love it, thanks!
You are welcome, thanks for watching the video and taking the time to leave a positive comment 👍😃🙏
Hey mate, great review! My mi band 6 doesnt recognize that I am swimming at all when I start the workout. I tried behavior tagging, but as soon as I am in water, even tho I am within 3m of my phone it disconnects the device. I cant even do behavior tagging. How did you manage the device to understand that you are actually swimming.
Hi mate, when you get in the pool go to workouts then scroll to swimming then press start. Try it now and you can see that you can also set you pool length.
@@SeedubsMedia I tried that 5 times already :( Idk whats wrong tbh. it doesent count meters at all, just shows 0. And on my phone I see the workout as light workout. And after an hour of swimming (2.5km more or less) when I end the workout it says little to no data collected, are you sure you want to end workout? At this point I am in the verge of returning the device for a refund.
@@arrogantraven5019 Hello! could you solve the problem?
The same thing happens to me and I don't know what to do
G'day mate. Does it show d pace, distance n elapse time along with heart rate when in running mode?
Hi mate yeah fro mm memory it does. I haven't used it since my review though.
@@SeedubsMedia alright. Thnx mate
Hi
Thanks for your rewjue.
I love the band 6, but have a problem, after swimming i find it hard to get to normal clock mode.
Can you help me please. Comes only to loch and open with green dots going up and down dosent matter what i do.
Hope you can tell me
Big thanks
Hi mate, sure. Swipe up then swipe down then swipe up again. Or the other way round cheers
Mine didn’t record swimming at all. It was a 27 meter pool and even after an hour in the pool, everything was still zero. I checked many times and restarted the activity on mi 6 band many times, but there was no data at all. I was disappointed and thought it might not work if we swim in indoor pools but thank for the video. Perhaps, it needed a reboot. Will try again next week.
P.S. I didn’t have my phone with me. Is that why it didn’t track the swimming activity?
Hi Ns, thanks for watching. It should track the swimming without the phone because water will instantly remove the Bluetooth connection. I take my phone to the pool. Leave it at least 25 metres from where I swim then do laps of a 50 meter pool so there is definitely no connection to my phone.
Hey , does it show the heart rate while running, swimming, cycling workout?
8:18 valueable info, but it's so fun haha
When swimming do I have to have my phone close?
Thank You.
I've been using it for a few months any quite happy. My question is why it didn't detect breast stroke while swimming?
It counted as free style all the time
Not sute mate it just worked for me
@@SeedubsMedia so, with your band, if you do mixed styles, it'll show as multiple datas ? I know my APPLE WATCH does this
Correct it just says mixed instead of freestyle or breastroke from memory.
How is it for cycling in comparison to the mi band 5 ?
Hi mate they a reasonably comparable. I would go for the 6 though since it's newer.
Has mi band 6 ski mode?
nice review, thx
Your welcome thank you for watching the video 🙏👍🙏
Hey till now I am using 2 dollar watch.
I am planning to buy 1 smart band. So should I buy it?
Hi Sarawati, it will be OK. They are all the same at this price. 👍👍👍
interesting, especially for swimming, got the mi band 5 for long time, for running, walking cycling never got any problem, but for the swimming it was not accurate.... on 1000m missed 200m. However.... i just lost it so just bought the miband 6 , gonna see :D
Enjoy man, it's still one of the best cheap bands around.
Hey, 6 months passed, how did it turn out? Are there any errors on any kind of data tracking?
@@emir2750 he best tracker i had. I tried since this time the mi watch color 2: i love the big screen to check quickly how long you swim under the water (easier to see the text) but.... The xiaomi watch is sooooo bad especially for swimming.
but the big screen is really confortable so i use it for daily or gym, but for swim, i use my miband 6
i think also mi band 6 the heart tracking is more accurate, but the oxygen tracking is really wrong.... Its never worked well.
Thank you for your comment and your time. 🙏🙏🙏
Hi, can i cycling without bring my phone and turn Bluetooth?
Ho mate, no you cant. Its not a stand alone gps tracker.
Very helpful video!fresh and detailed ! i own a Band 6 and loving it , i am swimming in a pool of 50 m length ,as i am an athlete,but since last week i thing all was great with detective my activity in water but last days maybe i change something i dont know ,when i finish my pool (about 1 hr and 15 min) cant save it instead appears on screen "Too short work out duration to save " or something like that 😤😡🤬 What will you recommend me to do ? Where i have mistaken? on my settings seems correct ,i try all possible parametres 😑🧐 Thanks 🙏
Hi mate it's hard to say. Do you press start and swim immediately. Maybe press start and wait for the countdown to finish before starting. But I'm sorry. Not 100% sure on this. I remember it happening on a watch before I just can't remember which one.
@@SeedubsMedia No worries ,but appreciate your reply, is enough to check ! Monday I am back to the pool ,and I will do that way , pay attention to wait till countdown ends and then start paddling !! Have a lovely weekend 🙏 /Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Nice review! Does it track heart rate while swimming or do you need to stop and manually check?
i would like to know it ! I m using my and it works perfect to measure the distance and another informations but i couldnt find a way to track the heart rate .
Can it detect heart rate while swimming sir?
can we swim with the mi band 6 ???
I bought mi band 6 last week and i wanna know about why does my mi band 6 last only 5 days 😔
Does it tell you the amount of lengths/laps you have done in the pool?
Hi Andrew it does tell you on the watch face as you swim. And you can view it afterwards as well.
@@SeedubsMedia good because i ordered it, it's coming today only cost £32
I don't what you mean. Sleep tracking works perfectly for me also the heart rate sensor works perfectly for me and never stops working I never had any problems. Maybe you got a problematic device or there have been many firmware updates. 😅
Hello friend my xiaomi mi band 6 does not detect that I am in swimming. Do you know how to solve it?
Choose training, than lane swimming. And don't forget to adjust the lane length you are going to swim.
Good video
Thank you Alexooxh much appreciated
Does sea water malfunction mi band 6
Because my band screen stopped after I swimming in the sea
Hi mate the IP ratings stand in any water. . As long as you stick to the conditions the IP rating allows for. But salt water isn't good for anything except sealife
Thanks for sharing 🙏❤️
Your welcome
Did your PAI score increase when you were swimming ?
Sorry mate I can't remember, thank you for watching though 🙏🙏🙏
Is possible to record heart rate while in swimming mode?
Hi Marco, it does record the heart rate.
does it count calories accurately? thank you!
Hi, sorry for the late reply and I can't really comment on calorie counting. It's very difficult to measure.
i swam with it on salty water and now its not charging nor opening up
It is still have to carrying a phone while running?
yes mate its GPS connected. IT has no GPS in the watch. Thanks for watching.
¿how is the band counting the calories?
I charged it once a month no sleep sms calls notifications cycling mad $70
I can make it vibrate differently trust me I use it for above only full brightness but make it go dim from say 6pm to 6am
Kogan
Please do a huawei band 6 swimming test :)
I did bro, it's in my video library
Great job!
Thank you Claudio
My global version of mi band 6 really calculates the sleep and other things better
Sorry sir, can I just leave the phone at home or i must bring the phone together to measure the distance?
Hi mate it doesn't have gps so you must take your phone with you. 👍🙏👍
@@SeedubsMedia alright...thank you Sir 👍👍
buy samsung galaxy watch4 i buyed that only
and if you like apple watch so buy series 6 only because my brither buyed that and yes buy in which it would be celllular
Can i run with the mi without bringing my phone?
You can but it won't track your run. It has no GPS. 👍
Info:
Mi Band 6 Heart Rate Sensor doesnt work good with you, because you have a tattoo right under the Sensor.
The Heart Rate Sensor does his messuring by lights. This light cant go through your tattoo.
But why did the Mi Band 4 and 5 worked better on you? This is, because Mi Band 4 and 5 had green lights. The new band 6 does it via red light. This is, because people where complaining about the bright green light in their bed room, when they go to sleep. They got distracted by it. So Mi changed the light to red. Red light has another wave length, then green light (waves are longer). These red light waves arent strong enough to get through your colored skin (your tattoo) in comparison to green light. Best light would be white or blue, but that would be even brighter than the green light.
Solution: Install the Mi Band 6 to your other hand, if there ist no tattoo under the sensor on that side. If there is a tattoo too, then get a tracker wich has white, blue or green light.
And btw thanks for the video :)
Hey mate, great comment. Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to leave a comment .my audience will appreciate this.
So mi band 5 is more accurate or 6?
Hi Ryan for accuracy you can flip a coin. For display the 6 is the sweet spot.
@@SeedubsMedia thanks, I'm gonna use it for gym and normal workouts like elliptical, is it okay and accurate? I'm not going to use it for swimming
I guess the problem is your tattoo. Black ink won't work well with the green light that register the heart rate. I have the same problem.
Interesting point, do you think its the ink or the colour of the ink.
@@SeedubsMedia the problem is the capacity of the skin to refract the light, so I think that any ink will be the problem. Probably some more advanced wearables can avoid these limitations.
my swim tracking on mi band six isn't working
That sucks mate, I don't even know what to say to fix it.
@@SeedubsMedia ok, I haven't seen any other fix for it but could it have something to do with the way I am swimming
@@SeedubsMedia but don't worry swim tracking isn't something I need to track anyway
It could be related to swim style.
@@SeedubsMedia ok I do the basic front stroke so maybe it is counting my strokes as steps
Can I swim in the sea with that?
Yes, just rinse it afterwards. Not sure how well it will track that but it is trackable. 👍🙏👍🙏
Tattoos prevent the mi band to measure the heart rate and SpO2 correctly all the time
Totally garbage, waste of money. Thanks for the review , it made me decide not to buy this garbage.
Stop Cursing
Huh, what did I say bro I can't even remember
Dude reduce your ads seriously
Hi thanks for your rewjue,I love my band 6 but having trubbel to go from swimming back to normal mode.
I get green dots upp or down.
So how do i stopp swimmingmode and go back to normal mode
Thanks Dan
