I only had half a beer, but I think I heard some Spanish in the middle of the video.
Andrei Predescu haha lol i tink i gut dat too in vido
I was like wait what was that? WHAT DID HE SAY I MUST KNOW

Nice one 👍🤣

@Miles Axelberd No shit Sherlock!
Does it have a 3.5mm headphone jack?
People. Don't always look at the fitness part. Instead, think about this:
You get a beautiful piece of technology at your wrist that shows time, weather and so on,
You don't have to look on your phone to read messages,
You can set timers without needing to leave the kitchen because your phone is in the living room...
For 25 bucks. 25 BUCKS!
And come on, who needs games or an app store if you have a 100 times more powerful phone right in your pocket? I believe this thing makes most sense out of all the smart wearables out there, and it doesn't cost as much as a good phone.
Your point is?
????
True thing
Well said. We dont even need a photo gallery or apps.
That’s what I was thinking when I bought mine. I used to be a fan of Pebble but even those weren’t so cheap. Since Pebble died at the hands of Fitbit I’ve been looking for a cheap alternative but all smartwatches are so expensive, are big and have terrible battery life.
This one is perfect for me, a watch that shows time, basic notifications, weather and it runs for a week or two in a single charge, even without considering the fitness features is great at the asked price. It’s even cheaper than many decent regular watches.
It's 25 bucks... What do you expect? I mean I love my own miband. And I have nothing to complain about. To be honest, no one should complain about an item like this.
On amazon its 45. Idk where they got 25 from
I got mine from aliexpress for 25$ + 2$ shipping :)
@@KucharJosef Was English the default language?
No, but it updated itself through the official app
Does this have a gps tracker for running?
Duo review... Never seen it before... Thumbs up😁
We have to try something different every once in a while! 😊
You dont watch ltt?
Watching this on my calculator
3:39 "Por que honestamente necesito tomar una siesta todos los dias". Thumbs up XD
Because I honestly need a nap every day. 😴
Why do Americans anglicize any other language they try to speak?
@@Cobalt985 crazy right?? it was so off. I try not to speak english in spanish... but if they are trying to speak spanish at least trrrrryyy to speak it in... ummm spanish
I've got the mi band 3 and I love it.Its cheap and water proof.
Mine syncs perfectly with my Xiaomi redmi 5 plus phone.
I've had no issues what so ever with mi band 3 and I've been using it for 4 months now.
Liked the duo review. More than one review and opinion at once
Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it! 😀
After using the Mi Band 2 and dealing with the horrible viewing outdoors and indoors, I'll still have to wait until they perfect the lighting options. Great review though fellas 👍🏼
Got mine 10 days ago from GearBest. The best $25 I've ever spent. It's very comfortable, useful and the battery is at 68% right now.
PS: It was delivered to Mexico and it comes in Chinese, English and Spanish.
Thanks for the great review! Question, how do I turn off the heart monitor? My battery life is at 7 days and my notifications and other features are at a bare minimum.
The format was good... And made the review even more comprehensive by two people adding there insights... Thanks!
Are you guys serious ? This band costs $35 ??? I actually have a Mi Band two and after switching from a Polar Pulse which cost me $79 US as compared to the $20 Mi Band 2 I was totally blown away comparing the two and comparing toma comercial blood pressure gauge that measures pulse as well the results are phenomenal .The pace measurement is bang on and the sleep app is very accurate . I absolutely find the Mi Band 2 app very easy to use and PS there is a third party app that lets you do measure constant pulse rate and a few other things .From what i can see the Mi Band 3 is even better so it's a easy buy .I have absultely no complaints about this $20 watch or would I have over the $34 Mi Band 3 . You get a very good deal here and I myself and willing to overlook some of the minor faults for this great tool .
Regards
Very annoying review by these 2, just looking for faults. I bet this is their first fitness band ever. The features this band has compares to brands 3 times its price. I have mi band 2 and this is a slight improvement on it. A win
@Mantvydas Nenartavičius m
Do you think the mi band 3 will be good for swimming? Does it have a swimming function? Since it has a waterproof rating
Garry Gershon Schwartz what’s the name of the third party app you can download? I’m thinking of buying this fitness band.
app name: "notify and fitness for mi band"
Amazing material! Stay up with the videos, excited about paying attention to much more of these
I ordered one and is on its way.. it's cheap enough to not be disappointed if it's not great
I have mi band 2 and I really wanted to upgrade... but this is the most honest video with disadvantages on mi band 3, so... I can wait.
Why is this not listed as a official product from mi Xiaomi ? Mi.com only has mi band 2
Why isn’t it listed ? Can you please answer?
As I’m interested to buy. But worried
I have international version.. It will update with Greek Language??
If I ask you between Huawei band and Xiaomi band, which is the most accurate in the data collected? (Honor band 3 or Huawei band 2 pro vs Xiaomi band 3)
Definitely like the video. Gave quite enough details.
Thanks for the kind words! I am so happy to hear you enjoyed it.
Okay here's a short review. So I own both the Mi band 2 and 3 and here's the difference. It's perfect to wear it on your wrist if you want a constant notification tracker. The activity tracking isn't accurate like the band 2 (Maybe updates will solve it). Heart rate monitor works a little better than the previous one. My s8 heart tracker is always spot on though. So if you already got a s8, s9, note or any high end Samsung phone with all the sensors, s-health is far more accurate and intuitive but it'll only be helpful if you can jog while having your phone in your pocket. Overall for this price, it's quite a nice digital wrist watch and doesn't hurt to have one.
They don't need ambient light sensor on Mi Band 3 when you're carry smartphone everytime and anywhere
Can anyone recommend a Band or a Smarwatch for fitness classes? I would like to know how many calories I burn during other activities besides running or cycling :(
I like the dual review concept its nice.
First of all, thank you so much for this review. Second of all, question; how accurate is it on the sleeping end? the original Mi band didn't detect waking minutes/hours during nights particually good. Secong question, and not something you guys normally deals with. The original Mi band could sync up with the apple health-app, do you know if the Mi band3 can do that? And finally, on the original Mi band there were an exercise function you could use if your exercise wasn't running or cycling, has there been an update to that, so that it has that feature now?
Since Joshua Vergara left, Android authority lost its charm.
He's now part of pocket now so catch him there he also has his own channel.
dual review looks new and refreshed. and bailey stein... you really have come a long way. you sound more confident and your review looks dope. :)
Thanks man! I've been growing up - glad it can be seen through my videos.
Love the double review idea..
I like the new style of dual host. Keep up with the new style of review. And also keep inventing new styles of video making. Good Luck 👍
When will the blue variant be Launched? Any info on that?
Whats listed under the Walkig > Speed Tab? Can you export charts/graphs and open them on our computers?
I use the mi band 2 only for my alarm and sleep tracking with sleep as Android. Works good when you wake up when it’s best for you and no alarm is going on which is very important if you and your SO wake up at different times
Nice dual review format!
This watch is a no-brainer. Like the dual reviewer format 👍
I just order mine yesterday!!
Is it worth to be only for the sleeping app:sleep as android?
Do we have to give custom duty taxes on this type of imports ! If yes what are the charges for that and shipping time , bro help me ! So that i can order that without any doubts
Would this be much better than fitbit charge 2 regardless of the price,?
Great info...Great duo format!
is the outside biking automatically recognized?
Duo review now that's something i haven't seen before
Can you do a Mi ecosystem review? As in using the Mi band, the Mi scale, the Amazfit Bip, etc. How well do they all work with the app and work together?
Liked the dual-host presentation.
Thanks for this review, I just need a basic tracker and on a budget and have seen this on sale for €20 so I needed to check out if it was going to be any good, as so cheap! Only thing that worries me is the screen not being easy to see in bright light as I'm in a hot country but to be fair, my phone is hard to see too 🤷♀️
Can it be used on any other android device
How far can Blutooth cover the distance from the phone to the sport band ? (in meters ? Eg. in case u left ur phone to offc. desk when u went to cafeteria for lunch ? )
I have one myself and it's one of my best purchases of the year
Sorry..: What phone and case do you use in the video? I like it.
does this offer English language support now? early china market models didn't support English and had mandarin character text.
I got my Mi Band 3 free with purchase of a Mi A2 phone. I normally wear a Garmin VivoSmart HR and will say that as far as Heart rate monitoring the Mi Band is just as accurate. I almost put it back in the box before a UA-cam video clued me to changing the Heart rate interval in the Mi Fit App. My one frustration is when scrolling to Heart rate on the Band it does not display the last measurement taken even if its collected every minute! Media playback control would be nice too.
can you link the mi band 3 to other fitness apps?
Nice review
Buuut I moved from mi band 2 to amazfit bip instead of mi band 3 because of already mentioned visibility problem.
Bip's display is a godsend, compared to mi bands.
I'd still advise just wait for sales and grab bip.
Can this band save all the data (heart rate, sleeping monitoring...) even when you aren't carrying your phone?
I'm asking because my phone is huge and I don't like to carry it when I'm going for a run.
I just use mine for looking at the time and its vibration for alarm. Definitely worth it.
I found one of these in my workplace while unloading a truck that was from a different country. Christmas came early. Already ordered a charger for it. :P
I have both a mi band 3 and a smartwatch in the form of the Amazfit Bip. I love using these... There is a Bip lite coming to which I might upgrade to.
Dual review is great! More the merrier. Makes it less of a monologue. Variety is the spice of everything in life...
When will it come in India?
Damn, this was a very different review, love it
I wanted a band with GPS. Do you think the $99 Huawei Band 2 Pro is worth it?
Hi there, does it work with iOS? what applications it doesnt show with iOS?s
Does this have a countdown timer?
Can I leave my phone at home while going on a run if I don't need the GPS data?
does this make an alarm sound if your heart rate rises?
Is a Screen Protector necessary for this device?
I enjoyed the dual review.
Does it has Connected GPS? meaning connect to your phone GPS
Okay, so I have had this product for about 1,5 week now and the battery percentage is down to 24 %. So my question is how low should I go down with the battery percentage before charging the device, I really want this thing to last a long time.
3:33 Because I assume not a whole lot of people have the time to sleep in the middle of the day...

Waiting for the NFC version, need that for public transport
Good review, cheers guys. I'm yet to find any comparisons to the ID107, any thoughts? The ID107 looks good on paper and touted as a Mi 2 killer but user reviews indicate a poor experience with low reliability and a woeful app. I'm looking to buy in this price range asap so any feedback would be appreciated. Keep up the good work.
Does it have a GPS tracking?
7:15 voice crack😂
You can also say affordable fitness tracker instead of cheapest
i m using these fitness tracker watches for the first time. do we have to always keep the bluetooth on for the mobile device and keep the fitness app on or kept in hidden background. please anybody help
Does this work with Google fit?
AA will never be the same without JV. I am yawning while watching this review.
Glad I'm not the only one that thought that.
what am I? chopped liver?
He's off to Pocketnow right?
@@LanhNguyenFilms We still love you, Lahn. But Josh is a much better show man.
JV was an excellent review. But tbh I think these guys are doing great as well. Give them a chance
Does mi band 3 have a screen protection?
4:14, can I disagree? You can pause or stop the activity by using the band. Simply hold the back button on the band to pause and hold again to stop the activity.
What's the best budget smart band that has Blood Oxygen Monitor?
Can I use it with SHealth?
“If you want to get your feet wet with fitness tracking devices, the Mi Band is perfect for the price”.
Exactly. And it surprises me that not so many companies see the value of a cheap device like this. For sure there are many people out there who wants a basic watch with some extra functionality. I used to be a fan of Pebble but even those weren’t so cheap. Since Pebble died at the hands of Fitbit I’ve looking for a cheap alternative but all smartwatches are so expensive, are big and have terrible battery life.
This one is perfect for me, a watch that shows time, basic notifications, weather and it runs for a week or two in a single charge, even without considering the fitness features is great at the asked price. It’s even cheaper than many decent regular watches.
Mi Band 3 is latest version of Xiaomi Mi Band????? we have sold many sets in Cambodia.
How did you guys change Chinese to English in IOS??
What is best smartwatch or smart band under 60 dollars in Amazon for sport
It's the best review that I found
Does it work with iphone?
Does it have a stopwatch??
Thank for the in depth review. Apart from fitness band, Xiaomi should do their version of apple watch soon.
is it visible in outdoor ?
They added in weight lifting mode in an update already. It records the heart rate, duration of exercise and estimated calories burned.
Will synch with Pixel 2xl?
When it's released in india
No you can start and pause an activity from. The band itself.....I have been using this feature regularly
How?
Oliver Hold the back button when the activity started
Is there an athlete using the Miband 3? My resting heart rate is around 40, but the band always shows 47 as my lowest heart rate every night. Whenever my heart rate goes below 47 it just shows empty areas in the app. Any idea? Is 47 the lowest heart rate the miband can measure?
I think Mi band 3 writing latter on screen should be more broad and white light of latters should be more
what's better. The xiaomi hey or the xiaomi band 3
I have owned multiple Mi Bands 1 & 2 and I can definitely tell you they don't last. They have a tendency to first have an issue with the charging mechanism and then I think it's the sweat that kills it. Multiple bands not just 1.
I had the 2 until i lost it, was great for the price. I mean i will never pay 150$ for a fitness tracker ever.. so. I ordered the 3rd one last week. Their smart scale is also pretty awesome for the price!
