      I feel like the apple watch would be the one watch I'd like. It has the smoothest ui for sure. But, I don't have an iphone, and the daily charging is a big downside. I'd comnsider the xiaomi watch s2. It looks the smoothest so far, but I just ordered the band 8. If it really is smooth, I'll stick with it. Really only needs nfc, and gps. I don't need more.

    Main reason that i like mi band's is exactly their form factor. I do not want a regular smartwatch because i work every day and my band gets all dirty and scratched up. I would not feel comfortable wearing anything more expensive to work than a mi band. Plus it has everything i need, it tells me the time, weather and tracks my vitals. Which is all i really ask for in a smart band.

    I'm still using my miband 6 for almost 3 years I guess. And maybe wont upgrade until I bored or the device is reaching the point where its unusable for me.
    Beside, what I like about the early designs is their simplicity. I can wear it all day long without worrying about its size. It is a smartband afterall. Having the 8 models would kinda defeat the purpose about the 'band' thing. Its kinda too big at least for me. I would rather use my Garmin smartwatch instead if the size isnt bothering me in the first place. But I may changing if they have GPS feature built in later.

    I see the new band as a downgrade. The advantage of the old, rubber band was that it was cheap and durable. If you snagged it, the pill would fall out and it would be good to go after reinserting it. Now it's much more fragile. If you snag on it, you need a new mi band because you can't fix the mechanism.
    The 60 Hz display is also a minus for me. Pretty much a useless feature that eats a lot of battery.
    Instead of the gimmicky apps, I wish they would bring back the early bird sleeping function. That was the reason I bought my first Mi Band 1!
    Still no global NFC and the price has also increased.

    ...and I guess there will be an NFC version, but the release in Europe will be super late again.

    My number one reason not buying the Mi band again after a Mi band 5 and 6, is the lousy strap. I already lost 2 of them.

      Mi Band 5, 6. Bought a metallic strap. Extremely impressive. Ready fitting. Quick & secure attachment.

    The only thing I don't like about my China region Xiaomi band 8 is that the app tells me my cycling ride details in Mandrin. No idea what shes saying!😅 Also the app challenges, awards, and exercise videos are all in Chinese. No way to change to English even though the app and band ask the preferred language. 😢
