ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
BOTH HAVE:
Single piece with silicone band
Connect only via Bluetooth
HR sensing and accelerometer
Stress monitoring and Breathing exercises
Find my phone
High heart rate alerts
Auto fitness tracking, but Fit does it much better
FIT2: $60
Integrated touch home button (vs swipe back on screen)
5ATM + IP68 water resistance
Better strap (easier)
21 day battery life (14 with continuous HR) (vs 14 on Mi Band) - basically the same
Choose 10 of roughly 100 exercises (vs 30 sports modes)
Galaxy Health App (vs Mi Fit)
Convenient quick settings
Better notifications
Cleaner interface (nicer to use and find stuff)
Night mode
Water mode is not as nice as it was (screen turns on a lot)
Can export as GPX (course) but not TCX which means no HR data… why?
Snap charger on rear (vs magnetic charger)
Mi Band 5: $50
SpO2 tracking
1.56” display (vs 1.1”) - both AMOLED
5ATM water resistance
Only needs one app (vs two for Fit 2)
PAI
Idle alerts
Women’s menstrual tracking
Remote photo taking
More in-depth weather
Does not allow you to export workouts
App is not ideal
HR TESTING
PEDOMETER TESTING
Brightness testing
CONCLUSION:
Both devices are fantastic. The larger screen on the Mi Band makes me prefer it to the Fit2, but the Fit has a smoother interface and integrates more nicely with Samsung phones
Fit does better: Interface, notifications, strap, and auto fitness tracking
Mi Band does better: PAI, remote photo taking, price, more accurate HR
The Fit2 gained a lot of ground and offers an appealing device, but the new Mi Band 6 display is a big win for Xiaomi, so which is better now?

Definitely the Fit2 won this
Mi band 6. If a fitness band is so inaccurate as the Galaxy Fit2 seems to be then it's as good as a chocolate fire guard me thinks.
The fit 2 I like most
Galaxy Fit 2.
I hope this is better than fit 1, i have fit one hate it
Eyy man just followed you on ig. Keep up the good reviews!
wow. last time I watched one of your videos you only had 100,000 subs, but now you have 218,000! Congrats
Thank you! This exactly what I have been looking for.
I watched your video today. And i subscribed and set the notification. Your videos are realy interested. You can explain things clearly. I think you have good future. Good luck!
Thanks for this! I almost ordered a Fitbit Inspire 2 just now but checked out your videos and then went with Mi Band 6 👍
How is your experience with Mi band 6?
@@karthikreddy524 Not bad for its price. It's still holding up (except for the silicon band I had to replace this month).
Pros:
- I can set goals for number of daily steps and daily activity
- I can measure heart rate and blood oxygen levels
- Heart rate monitor will also check your bpm periodically depending on your preferences
- I use the mi band to track bpm and calorie burn during workouts
- You can also view your workout history
- I charge the battery once every 3 to 4 days
- It vibrates if I've been idle for too long
- I am notified when I have a phone call e.t.c (this means I can leave my phone lying around without worrying about missed calls)
- Alarm is useful when you don't want to wake up other people. You can also set custom vibrate pattern.
Cons:
- Sleep tracking is not very reliable so I turned it off
- iOS app drains my phone battery during the night so I always turn off bluetooth before bed
- To get accurate heart rate measurements, the band has to be worn very tight but this will make your hand hurt after after an extended period because of the constriction. I also read constriction like this can damage your nerves so I always keep it loose and comfortable now. But I had to turn off heart rate monitoring because there is no point if I am wearing the band loosely.
I still take measurements manually once in a while so I tighten the band and then loosen when measurement is complete.
Hope this helps : )
@@yega3k I have bought the Mi band 6. All the things you've said is correct. Except in case of battery, I can't even use it for a single day with all the health monitoring features off. So I'm returning it. I guess my model is fault or some other reason🤷♂️. Can you recommend any other fitness bands?
One of the most annoying things these bands and watches have is that when I'm playing the piano it registers as a workout.
But playing a piano is technically not sedentary. You might argue that you stayed in one place while your hands worked out, but same happens in sex. We're pretty much in the same place, but still "workout."
So, yeah, it counts as a calorie burn.
@@VanIyke There better be a 'piano' or 'sex' workout setting on next bands lol
😂😅💥
@@Mateus01234 Hahahaha. You got me there!! 😂😂💯
haha i have that issue with drumming, it tracks as "diverse exercise"
Thanks Mike!
As always very detailed and on topic 👍
I miss your video. And you're finally back 👩🎤
Bro love from india....you have made things easier.....love you....and hope you grow
Great review! Thanks! Is there any band that is Always On feature?
Keep up the great work❤❤❤
You've just earned my thumb's up and a subscription from me. Great work. :)
good video I have just bought MI Band 6 one of these to replace my Samsung Gear S3 which is dire so looking forward to trying it out. Thanks for the insight it definitely influenced my decision on which one to buy.
Ahh! Back in jacket mode, I will sleep easy tonight now. Thanks for the comparison Mike.
Thanks for your informative comparison 🍻
Amazing review you got all the point
MI Band 6 works out to be around 37.5% cheaper than SS Fit 2 here in India so the default choice is the MI Band 6. This despite the fact that I own an iPhone too but do not want a big smartwatch.
Thankyou for the comparison 👍
Wish fit 3 comes with tht gorgeous full display.. 😍
When
When is it coming out?
Just like huawei band 6
Yeap, i wish too
yeah but it's price
I would also mention that with Fit 2 you can use quick (predefined) replies to notifications, which you can't do on Mi band 6
But do these quick replies help you so much. I really don't think that they are so usefull even though you can set them yourself in the app.
Well sometimes they are useful like when you set them correctly. Reply with ok or call you later is useful for me
@@kenankiller3878 but those are really the only two options I think. But I guess some people use this feature more and some less :)
Would have appreciated an in depth review of sleep tracking on both the bands, including the insights available on both mobile apps.
I guess having an in depth review of the insights of both mobile apps could be a video on its own.
@@TheProductReviewer How about posting one then?
@@DK-ox7ze me? I guess the best thing to do is creating a review about all the mobile apps in seperate videos since some want to have samsung vs. huawei , huawei vs. garmin and so on
Check out quantified scientist
He's made a really in depth video about sleep tracking with fit2 and mi6
Sleep tracking with such devices is pretty inaccurate
My Mi Band 6 is about to arrive, and I just watched this review and or comparison... I find my preferences to be exact is to why I am ordering it.
I am using fit 2 and I am very happy.. Samsung has done a great job. It’s very bright and with good interface
I have the fit2 and it's the first time I hear about the auto-brightness! I can't find that feature in the settings though. Is it only available in the US version or something? (Great video by the way)
Galaxy fit 2 does not have Auto-brightness detection for sure. I have it.
Yeah because i was surprised when he said that because i didn't know myself 😂
The not waking you up with bright lights when sleeping is a major win for me.
Mi band has night mode, which turns off auto wake up and also dim the screen
I bought mi band 6, it's still on the way, looking forward
A smol reminder : MI band 6 supports 2 apps as well the first one is Mi Fit app and the other is Xiaomi wear app. I am not good at reviewing those apps so can't tell much abt it but I use Xiaomi wear app and I use it mostly to change watch wallpapers with custom ones.
Informative video. Thank you.
I like the shape of the Samsung fit more, it looks neater on the wrist for some reason.
But the accuracy and features of the mi band makes it a winner for me.
Any thoughts on the Mi band 6 vs the Fitbit Inspire 2?
Same with me.. thats whats getting me confused lol
I just upgraded from the mi band 5 to 6 and loving it! Massive QoL features w/ my favourite one being the ability to access music controls **when** doing a workout mode is active! Also love PAI it's been a game-changer for me and has help me stay consistent dude lockdown times! Also love how customisable the home menu is.
Biggest pet peeve is that I really need to invest in a better strap that is more delicate for my skin! Also worth knowing you can only set 6 max shortcuts on the left/m+right of of the watch on the homescreen compared to the miband5 (personally I was able to make do with that amount).
Awesome to see tracking is mostly onpoint too, thx again for your review!
i have a question. does mi band 5 or 6 log how many steps you take a day and calories burned? but without manually selecting a walking workout. As in it just logs your daily steps logged whether or not you are conscious of the band
@@ahmedraja111 yep it always track steps regardless of turning on/off the walking/workout modes.
Can it connect to ios/iphone ?
If you have the mi band 6 connected to the phone, does that mean you can't use Bluetooth earbuds?
@@risingmermo you can use both at the same time
Im getting galaxy fit 2 for christmas from my grandma. I can't wait for it!
Thank you for this!
Thank you for making a clear choice.
I bought a Fit 2 after watching your review on it. Am happy with it.
Man this is such an amazing review and comparison. Thank you! I’ll pick the Xiomi band as my main use will be tracking physical activity.
Unfortunately, after one month of trying everything I can with the Xiaomi Band, intensive and different workouts, sleep analyses, etc , I've just concluded that the sensors and results seems much more random that actually true.
@@hierotsu Same I have this watch too and I think the same . I’ve been considering the Fitbit inspire 2 or Fitbit luxe
@@jakecrackerbarrel8348 With all the honest reviews I've seen (and too many reviews from youtubers only wanting to grow their view count), I totally agree with you on Fitbit. It's more expensive but it's not a gimmick as those cheap bands with sales based only on marketing and "fake" reviews.
I'm really considering doing the same as you.
Reviews are great! Quick question as another reviewer of devices - what mic system are you using? It sounded really clear and I don’t see a lapel mic. Thanks!
Go check the discription my bro
@@Lxcky_Bxy dude - have to comment back - thanks so much for pointing out. Got the mic listed and am selling my fancy boom mic. So much better!
Waiting for ur review dude
thanks Mike! I made my decision now.
Do I need to carry smartphone when using fitness trackers? Can I leave my phone at home and go for a run?
Readability is worth looking into; we're a lot of people getting 'old eyes' and needing (reading) glasses...
Glasses don't work in the pool... or needed when exercising.. But if numbers are too small, the device is useless.
Thanks for a good review.
Will get the mi band because the figures look bigger..
Thanks, good objective review.
great video just wondering if you have tried the huawei band 6 if so how does it fair to these
I have both 2 bands and here are my opinions about Mi band 6:
1) screen : it does get bigger than any other series so I like the size of the screen, but I am lil bit doubtful if it really has better(higher) resolution than Galaxy fit 2.(Mi 6 has higher one according to the spec tho.) With a full brightness on both, I can see Galaxy fit2 has more sharp and clear resolution than Mi 6. Mi 6 shows little bit unclear edges of an image.
2) CPU spec : I definitely can say Galaxy fit 2 has way better CPU, cuz it responds very fast when you slide your screen, or run some functions, while Mi 6 does relatively but significantly slower. Your Mi 6 screen moves when you completely finish your finger sliding from side to side, for example. You can also find this on the video. Focus on the screen when he slides of both bands.
3) Customisation : Definitely beats Galaxy fit 2. Mi 6 has lots of faces on the Mi fit app and it has even customed face, where you can customise vibration patterns as well.
Any other software-ish things depend on an individual taste so I cannot say either would win.
Do you have any idea if the fit 2's quick reply works on ios phones? And which one's better on the steps and fitness tracking?
@@beatrix8308yep Galaxy watch app works on ios too. But if you are already using Galaxy watch series like Watch active etc., then I would not recommand to pick Fit2 because the Galaxy watch app only connects with 1 device. But if you are not, I bet you would be satisfied enough with Fit2.
Are the calorie trackings same?
Does the Fit2 have sleep breathing sp02 tracking like on Miband 6?
@@gearappsnap2249 nope it doesn't
Good video ✌️
I have a Samsung galaxy phone is it wiser to get the fit 2 or will the band 6 work as well? Usability and compatibility wise
Steptracking on fit2 is so inaccurate too. Pretty frustrating.
Mi Band 6, easy win. The bezelless screen is a big upgrade.
I bought fit 2 the quick reply feature is so much convenient. I hope Fit 3 comes with swipe navigation, smaller bezel screen, camera shutter and customizable face.
Fit 2 is it have JPS?
@@MinhPhanTV no it don't
So is the mi band 6 or fit 2 better. I rlly wanna know
@@1andonlyfaxz787 mi band 6
Does the mi band 6 finally support notifications without vibration?
Ah! This is hard! I use Samsung, so Fit 2 is obviously a better pick for me but I think I'll be switching back to iOS in months. That huge bezels on Fit 2 is a deal-breaker for me too😔
I hope Fit 3 will have less bezels and bigger screen.
The Smasung galxy fit 2 has an idle alert system. What do you mean? By the way, great video 👍
Does mi band 6 shows energy level and standing and Vo2 max in xiaomi wear app?please help
wait how do i get the fit2 to last two weeks? i have heart rate measuring every 10 minutes and it only lasts about 1 week
Login to samsung in wearable app
Hey bro can you plz make any watch vs xioami mi watch lite
Does the mi band 6 accurately count steps and which fitness tracker do you reccomend for under £50 which is accurate
i have a mi band 6 and yes the sleep count accuracy is great👍🏼
Iwill stick with my mi band 4 no need to upgrade 💕
Just got my mi band 6 and it's pretty awesome. Any tips
Did I miss it, did you make a review on messaging capability and notifications?
Bro, can the sleep monitor score directly appear on the mi-band 6 screen besides having to look at the application on the cellphone ???
Question;
have you found it easy to pair the Mi band with the Iphone??
does it have an app to work with the IPhone?
does it work all with the iphone??
Mike, can you use the mi band to connect to an iPad and can it still track distance if the phone/iPad is not there.
Yes and yes but it will only count steps because it doesn't have gps
Whats the thickness of these two fitness trackers i have average size wrist and I'm looking for something that would be look nice and slim against my wrist
Honestly, I was close to choosing the MI band, but decided to get the Fit 2. Samsung already has my information since I use their phones, so I do not need to give another company my information if there are alternatives on the market.
Mb-6 can't show my walking location pattern. Get a world map only where my watch lite shows actual walking steps- location. Issue or my watch?
Noting that the Fit 2 is discontinued by Samsung, it is still available for sale (Amazon). I picked one up as an alternative wearable for when I'm outdoors or in my workshop and don't want to chance messing up my Watch 5. It is a great little unit not unlike my original Fitbit Flex 2 which finally died after 7 years, but nowhere near as small (knowing it also has way more features). It will make a nice tracker and basic watch, which is all I need it for when I don't have my Watch 5 on.
The added benefit to me was I switched from Fitbit to Samsung based health monitoring and it will tie in seamlessly with the Watch 5 and my phone (all Samsung now).
Battery life for mi band 6 is not 14 days as they claim. I would say its around 10 days if you use it. But If you enable PAI which is one of their core features, band brings a message saying your battery life will be shortened twice. So I assume with PAI its only 1 week.
The mi fit app that the mi band 6 uses can sync directly with google fit while the samsung health app needs a third party application for it to sync with google fit.
Hey Mike, can u do a comparison with the Fit 2 and Huawei band 6? I'm wondering which is better..
Fit 2 is better
is it true? I personally liked samsung health better, does the huawei health app is similar, or not as good as samsung health?
The Galaxy Fit2 cannot measure your blood oxigen level which is quite important in these Covid-19-ish times!
What watch you recomend me to do excercise in the gym and play basketball? I use LG mobile phone
Also tell me wich is the best watch in general
4:17 I am using mi band 5 and it does have auto fitness tracking! The only actual difference is that in MI band 6 we can find workout history , large screen and sp02. no offence :)
Please make mi band6 vs honer band6 video ❤❤❤
bro u are amazing
thanx Mike! Just lost my mi band 5 when swim and water jump.
How do you send information from Mi Fi 6 to your Android phone program? Please
I love my fit 2 its really nice. I was thinking about getting the mi band 5, but im happy with my choice. I mainly wanted it for a smart watch killer, but of course i wanted fitness features. I'm wondering what the fit 3 is going to be like.
Fit 2 is much better than Mi Band 5, h got both
Same here
I also bought last year and now it's strap has broken..is it available anywhere?
@@johnsnow9224 I've seen them on amazon. They only have the normal ones, so black and red silicone only.
@@zeraton1722 but it's not available here on Amazon also😐
The mi band 6 can do autotracking and it's not a bug,you have to activate the auto tracking in the settings.
I was about to say the same but autotracking is actually a cool feature to have. The Auto-pause on workouts is also super confusing.
What app did you use for the mi band 6
Is one easier than the other to sync into google Fit? Already have an older miband doing this
You can't sync data with google fit on the samsung (strava only). The Mi fit has that google sync option.
Hi there as per your experience what you prefer which one best for me to buy in UK I m confused Mi 6, huawei 6, huawei watch fit , huawei fit elegant ,samsung fit 2 or honor 6 please reply thanks
No huawei or honour Please, they actuallt helped identify Uighurs in china, it's blatant human rights abuse, it's the tiny bit that uh can do :)
Jazak Allahu Khair :)
Thank you!
That"s nice..pretty nice video
Just waiting for galaxy fit 3 which should have a bigger screen
thanks for this video. does the mi band have 24/7 SpO2 tracking?
Yes!
@@luispires6935 could you please show that in your next video?
Why Apple didn’t do something like MiBand? Fintness bracelet and smart watch absolutely different kind of gadgets. I had AW5 last year and it was don’t comfortable for me. Now I with MB6 and I like it! Thanks for vid, it was interesting.
If apple do make smartbands, they have to compete with mi bands and the others with a "reasonable" price. And that, is something they probably will never do
is the step counter accurate?
When is Fit3 coming? Should I wait for it or go for Fit2?
Go for fit 2 , it s very good , and I don't tink that it's coming pretty soon
do you need to have the phone close for it to track the work outs?
Ofcourse because they work on bluetooth
Does it support blood pressure monitoring???
Very good video
What is your favourite fitness tracker
Easy choice
Samsung users: Fit 2
Other Android users: band 6
Why? Band 6 has More functions, more screen wallpaper and more can be customized, and better deal.
Where can i get the mi band 6
I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A as my Smartphone because it has a SIM slot and I don't like carrying multiple devices. Samsung Wearables are not compatible with ANY Tablet PC, even if it is in the Samsung family. My Xiaomi Mi Band 5 pairs perfectly with the Samsung Galaxy Tab A. I have only had the Mi Band 5 since christmas and it is already showing problems. I am looking to upgrade the MI Band 5 to the 6 because I have noticed a slow down system wise and that the step meter has not been accurate from the beginning.
I've been using fit 2 for almost more than a year n i get only 7 or 8 days battery backup😥 tho i keep my brightness at level 2 , but auto stress n auto heart rate monitor on
You must compare the mi band with the huawei band 6 or the honor band 6
+1
That came out quick
Just trying to make a few videos this April
@@MikeOBrienMedia ye thanks I may buy one now 😂
Mi band 6 includes many workouts and also has blood oximeter and stress monitor
Fit 2 has a stress monitor too
2:20 what it is easy buckle up my samsung galaxy watch fit2 the Samsung is more secure actually
Can we sync data from samsung galaxy fit 2 with google fit??
