MI Smart Band 5- India's No. 1 Fitness Band, 1.1" (2.8 cm) AMOLED Color Display, 2 Weeks Battery Life, Personal Activity Intelligence (PAI), 11 Sports Mode, Heart Rate, Women's Health Tracking (Black)

The media could not be loaded. I have been using a Mi Band 4 And Honor band 5 already. So this is like an upgrade for me. Here is my review based on first few days usage. Will update the review again after a months usage to include other things like battery backup.---------- Pros ----------# New AMOLED display is so beautiful and fairly bright for out door# New music controls (Volume, Track, Play/pause) works really well, but with a small delay# Custom wallpapers is the best feature i found, at first sight the menus and UI looked like my old Band 4. But after setting custom wallpaper the whole band is in new level now# 50m waterproof just like Band 4. I have taken my Band 4 under all worst conditions and never observed even fogging. Hope Band 5 also acts rugged.# 14 day battery is a good figure, will test and update the review after sometime. Now you can easy turn on/off alarm with band 5 it was not feature in band 4.# Weather for current location(changes as you move), shows location name as well on screen---------- More pros - Compared to MI Band 4 (All for little more money) -----------# Larger AMOLED Display 0.95 in(Band 4) > 0.78 in(Band 3) > 0.42(Band 2)# Can turn ON and OFF existing alarms directly from band(Something i really wish i had on my Band 4)# Tempered glass top# New sensors (3-axis accelerometer + 3-axis gyroscope). Well, i am not sure what its for# Sharper and much brighter display# Larger battery, 135 mAH(Band 4) > 110 mAH (Band 3)# Screen guards can be applied due to broader face# Charging time is less than Band 4, takes less than 2 hours---------- Cons ----------# UI could have been better, on such a beautiful screen, the current themes look bad# Weather could have been added to home screen, Band 4 has it# Could have added a switch to turn on high brightness for outdoor usage, because if you set brightness to 4(full) always it's really bright for indoors, but ideal for outdoors.# The step counter is too inaccurate. Like any other brands this band also counts too many false steps. By the time i reach office in my car it shows me 1.5 KM or more, but actual walk is less than 0.5 KM. So better forget this feature---------- Other Features ----------# Lift hand to turn on display# Sleep monitor# Call and Message Notifications# MI App comes with lot of features compared to other brands# Find my device is very usefulWhether you should buy it? Yes, yes, yes. Go for it. Even if you are not a fitness freak, this band is quite useful for Call, SMS and Calendar notifications. Especially while driving, you don't need to pickup the phone to cancel or mute the call. And you can't ask for anything more for what you pay.Other alternativesIf you are ready to shell out more, you can checkout Amazfit Bip or Amazfit Verge lite models.And as usual, Amazon delivered my Band superfast, in two days.

I always used to say a big no to smart bands and smartwatches . But need has arrived.. Bought this band mainly for my running support. Earlier I used to run with my mobile(which is not feasible for carrying while running long kms) and after that tried with my G-Shock watch(becoming sweaty after the long run, I don't wanna wear that to office). So after countless reviews and videos, chose redmi band 5 . Using this for last one month..Distance is not accurate if not paired with phone ( I keep my phone at home while running and work outs). If I choose outdoor running option, and while running it's difficult to read out the small font time displayed with other measurements that I don't need while running like calories, cadence and all which will be helpful only after completing the run for me. So I use stop watch in band which is comparatively more readable. Another important feature works for me is timer which I use in between gym workout sets, so that it will vibrate and let me know rest time is over its time to push hard 🙂 . Idle alerts is also useful which lets alerts me to walk around while sitting for long hours wfh now. Battery is superb long back up , hassle fee charging just keep the magnetic charger near to the back of band it will stick to correct position. Mi fit app is good simple, user-friendly, clean. There are lots of options like sleep tracking, heart tracking and all which am not using . thinks sleeping more than needed even without band😛. So me it's a good buy. Eventhough it's a health band, it won't do the exercises so we have to keep doing, band just helps to track.. keep fit keep happy..

Awesome Product

Best fitband in this price range. I was happy at the time of delivery and still working like charm. Easy to use

I have used this Band for almost 2 months now, here's my review:-Pro(s):-1. Display: It has 1.1" colorful Amoled touchscreen display, bright enough for outdoors and sunny days.2. Battery Life and charging: The battery life lasted me 11-14 days on single charge, I wasn't using sleep tracking but Automatic heart rate reading was on. A full charge from 0 took only an hour (it comes with magnetic proprietary charge cable) Note: I've used 18watt fast charger.3. Supported Apps/ Watchfaces: The One thing that may stand out for this band is that it can be used with other applications such as Google Fit, Notify for Mi Band etc. There are many Watchfaces in the app and you can create your own too, but there are only few that I liked and the customisation is limited, but as it supports 3rd party Watchfaces it would be useful.4. The Build Quality: For the price the build is okay, it's entirely made up of plastic (polycarbonate material/flexible plastic).5. Waterproof: The watch is waterproof upto 50m.6. Bands (Outershell): The bands are replaceable and available.Cons:1. Accuracy: The accuracy was hit and miss for me, the heart rate was usually ~5-10% off. Even Sleep Tracking wasn't that accurate only measures the basic information not the deep data. Same goes with step count.2. The Mi Fit App: I don't like the Mi Fit app, the design layout doesn't impressed me at all, it's not mature like other Mi apps.3. The Fitness Data: The fitness data is not super helpful as it is not that detailed in the Mi Fit App. If you are buying it for only fitness purpose only go with Honor Band 5.4. The build quality is okay, but it feels a little thick from sides.5. Still not enough good Watchfaces available right now.6. The Stress Monitoring feature worked only 6 out of 10 times.Conclusion: I'm neither impressed nor disliking it but I feel if a person buying a fitness band it should have deep fitness data which this band lacks offering, So go with Honor Band 5, which is more smoother in operating and 500 bucks cheaper than this.

reviewing after 4 years, still it is running
