Fitbit Inspire HR vs. Mi Band 4: Best fitness tracker
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2024
- Lexy reviews the Fitbit Inspire HR vs the budget Xiaomi Mi Band 4. One fitness tracker costs $100 and the other is $40, so which one is the best value? I compare both these fitness bands on everything from how they count steps and track workouts, to measuring resting heart rate and sleep. These bands also have some smart features, like getting notifications from your phone, so let's break down what they can do and how they compare.

Thanks for watching! Are you team Fitbit or team Mi Band?
Team mi
Please can I get it
You gave a very balanced review! I use MiBand4 and im lovin it
Team Mi Band.
Team Mi Band all the way!
Mi band 4
I think it's better to have a tracker which under estimates the amount of exercise done than the one which over estimates that is from a health standpoint
This review is so comprehensive that it’s super helpful! And the comedic scenes with the colleagues/extras are hilarious! Well done and thank you Lexy and CNET! Keep up the great work! 👍🏻
It's less than half the price. Mi Band the whole damn way.
NTH THN my mi band 4 shows heart rate wrong
@@FrauFitzer Mine is working well!

I have samsung e-fit sm-r375 i don't worry about heartrate or senuer but only use for normal to see time and use with wakeup alarm
Great video! Keep doing more reviews, Lexy. You are becoming one of my favorite gadget reviewer :)
Another excellent video Lexy! I am going with the cheaper, I mean less expensive, Xiaomi Mi Band 4! the main factor was the screen. Maybe it was the price. Okay, it was the price. :)
Amazing review, you did it pro! I'm convinced in my buying decision thank you!
What a detailed comparison. Hope every review is done by Lexy. I have the MI Band 4 and it's awesome for the money!
Amazing and fun review by Lexy. Good work!
Thank you Lexy! I have the Fitbit inspire hr, but I am thinking of buying my brother the Mi band 4! You are the best, thank you soooooo much for this review!🤗
That's an AMAZING review!
This has been a fantastic review.
If you buy the Mi Notify & Fitness app for a few dollars you'll get so many more custom options than the official app that it makes the Mi Band 4 and even greater value. The app also calculates your sleep differently than the official app. I paid $33 off eBay for my Mi Band 4 and it is incredible.
Another great video and hilarious! Great job
You made me subscribe to this channel :D Thank you for this helpful, relatable review!
Another awesome video Lexy! Love your videos!
wow that was a great comparison. gave my mi band to my mom and was looking to see what else I could get. Guess I'll be getting mi band 5 when it comes.
Loving my mi band 4!
My mi fit 4 will go for nearly 3 months between charges! And I have quite a few notifications coming through! It's fab!
Do the Fitbit still give you a rash when you leave it on for to long? My surge used too
Fitbit auto-recognise is so weird sometimes.
apparently I swam down the city high street...
This girl remind me of xena!
Warrior Princess!
Definitely a dead ringer.
Haha you're so much fun *and* informative!
Excellent review!
I'm using band 4 for month and loving it. Changing the watch face every weeks using 3rd party app.😊
love your reviews
Thanks for comparing these two fitness trackers, I've been thinking all day about which one suits me best. I am definitely more concerned about the data from the tracker, and I am definitely eyeing on Fitbit. It might cost more than the Xiaomi, but that's the one I'm leaning more.
You can get an app called notify and fitness for mi band premium for 4 dollars! It's way better than the stock app
I bought 2 finally, fitbit for mom and mi for me. Ahhhh, I still cloudnt decided which ones is better
How do you expect the watches to be accurate if you're wearing both the watches loose ?
The reason for me is not fitness but get notifications while at work and finding my phone..😜😍
HI Lexy! Please do a comparison mi band 5 vs Fitbit inspire hr
Thanks. That helped me to decide to buy mi band4
Do one with the Galaxy Fit 2019 please!
Happy to hear your voice
Great review thanks. Your presentation is lovely and funny! Can I hear an Ozzy or Kiwi accent? Best wishes.
Thank you Lexy, another solid comparison between two very popular devices, I think for different reasons but popular for sure. I am team Samsung Health with my Samsung Watch, I find it to be the most accurate out of all fitness trackers. Have had just about every other fitness tracker in the Fitbit family as well as every Apple Watch series, several Chinese devices and Samsung seems to be the most accurate for me.
Thanks for watching, Mo!
Nice video. However I would like to see more tests about how really precise/non-precise these things are. Because It's ok to look on RHR, sleep levels, HR, steps measurements with fun and actually use these as accessory/basic watch, but keep in mind that some of us could use this information for tracking warning signs of low deep sleep, high RHR and so on. And when this matters then screen brightness are on the other side of the scale. Even if battery reach week, than it's already okey, because you need to clean band at least once in week anyway.
What do you think about these devices? Are these just toys and can't be used for real measurements?
So basically fitbit could potentially make you fatter, lol.
Runcorn Physio they should change the name to FatBit

😀😀😀
One thing worth mentioning is the social aspect with Fitbit. You can invite friends and family and compete on steps daily. That's fairly motivating and if you already have friends/family with a Fitbit, it might tip the scale for you.
Good point!
Nice review, thank you.
But I think you should wear them on the same hand to compare. For example I'm right handed and definitely moving my right hand more than left. :) But still pleasure to watch 🙂 Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching! And great point, but these apps also let you indicate which wrist you are wearing them on (dominant or non-dominant hand) so I set those appropriately AND also wore them independently on my left wrist as I'm right-handed too :)
Love this series, can't wait for the next episode ;)
Thank you!
Mi band 4 is for who's the first time to use of smartwear device , but Fitbit is aiming the market of real exercisers
I got a Mi Band several months ago. It's great. I will never go back to Fitbit.
Please compare these two with Honor band 5.
Thanks for that. Whats the community around Mi Band? You didn't cover that. Can you for example create 'Groups' so say my entire office all gets Mi Band and we all can see each other in the app and compete?
Nice informative vdo. Keep it going.
The mi band isn’t inaccurate for sleeping it’s just it doesn’t track until u go to sleep and then it counts how long u were awake
Honor Band 5 will do that for u 👌
it works fine for heavy sleepers like me lol
"and then it counts how long u were awake" but her findings found it didnt show she was awake at all. . .
@@mattduncan5500 I think she was referring to tossing and turning before she went to sleep vs the commenter who's referring to waking up in the middle of the night
please make review of xiaomi amazfit GTR
3:12 has the outro song of most of Achievement Hunter or Let's Play
i can't find the dark theme setting for the mi band, where is it?
Great detailed review 👍🏻
I own the mi band 4 now for around 2 Weeks and i have to say i don‘t have any of the problem you had. I wear it 24/7 and the resting heart rate it shows me in the app ist pretty accurate. I let it messure my heart rate every 30 seconds and i don’t get any measures that don‘t fit in. I barely wake up at night but the 2 or 3 times i did it represented it quite well. Perhaps you are an active sleeper and your movements and your heart rate is similar when you lie awake in bed.
Thanks, Ingo! Good to know you haven't had the same issues. I have definitely noticed the resting heart rate getting better with each software update, so hopefully it will be 100% soon for me!
I've compared the Mi Band 3 to the Galaxy Watch 46mm and I've discovered that the Xiaomi tends to record my heart rate as being ~8bpm higher
My ancient (2015) Fitbit Charge HR still does a very accurate job of counting my sleep time. I just bought an Inspire HR but haven't had time to use it yet. I hope it does the same good job of that. (My Wyze band doesn't do nearly as good a job.)
Awesome video.
I think that Doctor looks familiar 🤔
why u don't have your own channel ,, you amazing 🥰😍
OSAMA ALMANI she does
Got mi b4 for 27$ ... Can't wait to try it
You forgot to mention that you can use your own photo as watch face in xiaomi. BTW 5 ATM means 50 meters water resistance. Great reviews BTW. I have mi band 2, 3, 4 and amazfit bip. I simply love xiaomi.
I have a fitbit and I love it so have
Which is better Fitbit charge or Mi fitness band watch? Please do say me
Chk out the nfc version of mi4 - it can duplicate your security card through build in nfc replicator , I think up to 3 cards :), that include the metro card as well lol . But ....seems like these function are only allowed if you are in china...
I don't want to look at the tracker all day so display is not a priority, I just want it to do it's job properly i.e step tracking, sleep tracking, heart rate tracking and workout tracking. I pick fitbit. If you are very tight on your budget then Mi band is definitely a good option.
Question for the Mi Band users, can it track all the calories burned throughout the day and not just during workouts i.e. even when i am sitting, lying down, etc.?
It can calculate the calories burned for your steps during the day, but not when you are in the other positions.
@@kamonthipcharoenphanit3926 so it won't tell me all day calorie burn like the fitbit inspire?
fitbit break easy!!! blaze broke after 4 months, charge 3 after 2 months, avoid!!! i love my mi band so far :)
Cool review.👍👍
I have the Tic Band is pretty Damn good.
Short answer: mi band screws up sleep and heart rate tracking.
If it can't do those right, what is it good for? That's kind of the whole point, isn't it?
Wouldn't say this is the case, rarely it does get odd readings but I've had good success with it so far. Happy especially with the other benefits and at half the price of the Fitbit
Good comparison
I was just wondering if you were using the actual Mi Fit app or a third party app as the one that appears in your video looks like the app from BlackNote?
The actual Mi Fit app!
Perhaps it's different on Android vs Apple, as my app is all white and orange based vs what is in this video with the dark theme. I, at one point tried the Mi Fit compatible app made by BlackNote in the app store, which has the dark theme, thus the reason I thought it was that app.
@@vixeneagle Screens in the video are from iOS version of the app, which is orange/white on the main screens then turns to the black background when you look at the exercise metrics :)
I'll go with fitbit. I really like how easy the app makes everything, like, activity, sleep, food, weight tracking.
Yup, the same for me.
Yep same 😂
Have had a number of fitbits, the last being the charge 3 - all rubbish, customer service non existant - bluetooth never works, forums fillled with thousands of complaints. Returned the charge 3 and the store didnt even blink, said they get so many back its ridiculous. They definitely have the brand but thats it. Went and bought a MI Band - and its awesome, and in our country 4x cheaper than the fitbit - no brainer really.
Heart rate accuracy on the MI band dramatically improves when the band is more snugly fit to your wrist. I think that's why the results seem better when working out, as your wrists swell up a bit when they're hot. Also the 'loop' of the stap should be towards you, so if you're wearing the strap on your right wrist, you should flip the module in the band. This could also cause misreading of the heart rate.
Mi band is better with incredible 20 days plus battery
Really good i love it
I've been using mi band 4 for almost a year... I've had no issues with the resting heart rate... It's always consistent.. and the Raise to wake has never not worked🤔... I've barely experienced any problem mentioned with the band here...
Thanks for the insight. I have had a FITBIT ONE for over 5 years and FITBIT has just cancelled it. I also have an APPLE Watch 4. The problem most of my friends and work colleagues, that have wrist style fitness devices is the straps. The straps are constantly needing replacement because their longevity is very short. The other thing FITBIT just did was updated their software to include a battery % number on the IOS APP. After all these years and numerous suggestions the FITBIT software now gives a battery % number now that my FITBIT ONE is phased out and when this one dies I will not replace it because I have my Apple Watch. Finally since FITBIT and APPLE falling out I have replaced the FITBIT scales with a QUARDIO 2 that is compatible with APPLE Health APP. Bottom line the APPLE Watch is always the best choice! Thanks
Thanks dear
+ mi band 4
Many costume theme
Many strap mi band
And low price
Fitbit has many straps
@@seonggi-hun4562 Xiaomi has more!
@@minecrafter023 Exactly!
Idky u said it was a nice bonus to b able to tell the time lol.. pretty sure that’s the only function that’s essential for a watch 😅
The wonder woman of fitness trackers!
How to buy miband 5 in US ?
I also have a mi band 4 but It doesn't read spo2 can anyone help?
You don't even consider the honor band 5?? 👀
Dunk with soapy water for 5 hrs everyday. Never leaves my hand. Super waterproof. Running shower water will activate the screen
Bought it because of 20 days battery life ! It's a basic superlight fitness wear. So cheap , bought some to giveaway ! Lots of colourful straps and face to choose.
Can't beat the value for money. Amoled screen !
i really like her review style...
I have both
I love CNET you guys are hilarious
Mi band 4 is better and the price
AMOLED display 20 days battery.
More like 60 days battery!
So ... get one of these or galaxy active?
galaxy for sure
Compare Fitbit inspire hr vs Samsung Galaxy fit , since both are of 99$. This comparison makes sense.👍🏻
That actually sounds alright, not a bad idea that.
why didn't you chair dance with the mi band 4 to give it a fair chance against fitbit. There is one thing I love about the mi band click on steps and it tells you how many you did not the total. The amount of minutes its not always listed as a walk sometimes as running and the amount of time distance and calories. I wish fitbit broke it down more like the mi band. And the amount of gas you saved.
Do I need a phone with Mi Band 4 or is it ready to go from the start? I just want to use it to tell time. I really don't care about the other features
Honor Medal The first thing it asks is to link it with your mobile without it you can't even see the time.
@@darth_decker Thank you! Do you know of anything in similar design that works out of the box? Mainly want to tell time but need something thin/small for work
Honor Medal Mi band 3 works without phone but if you connect phone with it will work more effectively
but why do you need a Map of your run?
Why you didn't mention that Mi band doesn't count all day calories? It's a deal breaker for me.
Two years ago I bought mi band 2 after a ton of positive reviews to replace my broken polar and I was very frustrated 😤 I was getting about 900 cals in the evening after 1.5 hour in the gym and 1 hour 10k run. Now I have Charge 3 its completely different story it gives me up to 4000+ calories after active day plus hints on how many calories I can consume.
Does the inspire hr has the same feature?
@@samvedh5598 Of course.
@@Boris1990ua thanks will buy the inspire hr
I want to buy one
Mi band 4 only says awake if you wake up during your sleep
Mi Band 4 with a great battery life and the bright amoled color screen.
Got few other smartwatch... MiBand 4 is my go to smartwatch when travelling because of the battery life.
Used to have a fitbit and I agree on the app... Fitbit app is better.
For the first 4 minutes is not from the Fitbit app (green and white background) instead of Garmin apps (black background).. . I have the mi band 4, ionic fitbit and Garmin vivoactive 3 music.... I prefer wearing Ionic
It's definitely the Fitbit app on the left and Mi Fit app on the right :)
Can both register pushing a babystroller ?
I know mi band 4 can because it doesnt require you to swing your arms to count steps (when I walk with an umbrella it counts the steps I take no problem even if my mi band arm is the one using the umbrella)
i have Mi band 4
the sleep tracker is accurate and the screen is wake up when i move my hand and it does lots
I have one too and love the vibration for silent alarms its stronger than charge 2
also if u wants to get more faces for the screen download amaztool App it gave you lots of different faces for the band besides the Mi Fit App
I’d advice anyone to get the mi band 4 it’s way cheaper nicer display and does way more
Go for Mi band 4. Wearing it for last 1 month. No comparison with FitBit or Honor band 5
Research before you speak don't rely on I'll buy it because it's bUdGeT sMarTwAtcH and does it have what Honor band 5 has lol but in terms of accuracy of gathering data of Mi Band 5 is a trash.
I like how sleek & slim the fitbit is compared to the xiaomi or any other fitness trackers. For someone with extremely tiny wrists, i have no choice. But the screen on the fitbit sucks big time so im not buying any fitness tracker for now.
