  • @RemorseCodeYT
    @RemorseCodeYT Рік тому +41

    The reason why i like the new strap is because unlike the previous models, the strap doesent easily come off.
    For example, once I had a Mi Band 4, there was an instance where I was enjoying the beach, but when the waves came, the watch popped out of the strap, which could have gone horrible if I didn't catch it. The Mi Band 8, however, eliminates this issue because it doesent allow the band to come off without unlocking the lock underneath.

    Honestly, if I were to but a tracker I would get the xiaomi again. I used to have the mi band 3 and I upgraded to a garmin venu sq. I laid 150€ and I am not totally happy with it. The metrics seem to be accurate and I needed the bigger screen but I don’t like the interface and although you can download external widgets I haven’t been happy with the offerings. So next time I need a smart band I will probably go back to xiaomi.

      Coming from mi band 5 then upgraded to garmin venu sq 2, I can say that the mi band 5 is much more accrurate (well for me) in terms of tracking of sleep & steps which are the most important for me to track daily. I’m planning to buy the mi band 8 so I’ll have comparison again, but most probably will stick to mi band 8 when I got it because it’s much comfortable to wear when sleeping.

      Edit: got both, step counter is amazing on both watches, the biggest difference are the functions in the app and watch itself, you can customize the normal band a bit more, e.g. it shows how long your battery will last, approximately.

    Hi. I am using Mi band 8 for the last 10 days.
    I intend to primarily use it as necklace but I am yet to receive the accessories for the same from China.
    Have you used it as pebble or as necklace yet?
    One thing I want to bring out is about accuracy.
    I have been using Band 6 for the last 2 years and never had any issue.
    Now for the sake of comparison and while still waiting for the necklace accessories, I am using band 8 on my left wrist and band 6 on my right wrist and the step & calories count are way different.
    I am confused.
    Band 8 has consistently given much lower values everyday and every single time.
    Have you experienced the difference?

      Are you right handed? If yes then it should answer your question. Since you move your right hand more so the counting are higher on miband 6. Every slight move are count as steps and burn calories. While your left hand are more passive so it's give lower values.
