People Review :


1) I bought this as a gift for my once-beautiful wife.

Since our marriage she has piled on the pounds and seems to get fatter and fatter by the day.

A while back I noticed that she actually has not one, but THREE chins, which is far too many, in my opinion.

I was drowning my sorrows one night by drinking whisky. I didn't want to go to bed because she was there, like a beached whale, snoring and farting like a burst tractor tyre. I had another whisky and then started to look on Amazon for something to help my situation.

In my drunken stupor I saw a "Fatness Tracker", and bought it there and then on impulse. Of course it was a "Fitness Tracker", but I had read it wrong thanks to finishing a bottle of Royal Stag on an empty stomach... because she had eaten my dinner!

When the "Fatness Tracker" arrived I was quite disappointed, but then I realised that I could put it to good use after all.

The strap is quite long, and it fits tightly around her fat wrist, which is the size of a normal person's leg.

I set up all the functions and now I can see that she walks about 300 steps a day - mostly from the chair to the fridge.

Unfortunately, there is no "Exercise Setting" for eating cake, samosas, or biriyani, or she'd be the world champion.

It does measure HER sleep - which is about 10 hours a night - but it doesn't measure mine which is constantly interrupted by her incessant snoring. Sometimes it sounds like a machine gun being fired the the bedroom, it's so bad!

It wasn't what I had hoped for, but it was a good price, so I can't complain.

2) Using the band since 9 days and this is my review:
Pros-
1)Looks beautiful, looks and feels much better than the mi band 2 and the Fastrack reflex 2.
2) Touchscreen OLED display only at 2k.
3) Features like Find my device, Step tracker, Silent, Notifications and a lot more.
4) Battery life (when not connected via Bluetooth)
Cons-
1) Heart rate sensor- Isn't accurate at all. Once shows 75 bpm and if tested again after 2 or 3 seconds shows 95 bpm. Senses heart rate for my table also, which obviously doesn't have a heart.
2) Battery life- When connected and with features turned on like lift to wake, automatic heart rate detection, App notifications lasts only 5 -7 days.
3)Screen- Scratches very easily and it is a fingerprint magnet. And its really hard to see the screen in direct sunlight.
4) Charging- Taking the capsule or main body from the wrist band is a big task. Feels like the capsule is going to break everytime you try to take it out of the wrist band.

3) Heard way too much about mi band 3 but they are kind of fooling people.
1. Battery backup not great as claimed
2. Counts steps when I type on my laptop
3. Sometimes heartrate sensor just shows cross, even with band held properly to wrist
4. The worst noticed today, removed band yesterday at about 8.50 and wore back at 11.45. Today morning when checked my sleep then was amazed to see that I slept at 9pm and had deep sleep at 9.30 to 10.20. I slept at 12.
The worst part is that its not returnable.

4) Before starting pls download mi fit app,and then sync the band with mi fit app,
Pros:
0.75" OLED screen,
Best battery life on idle 30+ days and on use 20-25 days easily.
Can locate your device/mi capsule,
Weather forecast/exercise goal,steps counter/calories burnt/distance travelled/heart rate sensor/water resistant upto 50m/sleep monitor/good sleep time/stop watch/alarm/exercise goal reminder/call and message notification/
Cons:
Screen Out-door visibility in sun light is average.
If band moved a bit while checking heart beat will make you go heartless,
Remember to change settings in mi fit app or else driving/riding may count as steps.
Put mi band3 in motion so when you walk it calculates the steps and calories burnt not while driving.
Note: as some people say that you can take pictures using your band.so here I say it's not possible,& I don't know how and what app they are using that gives them to do,but haven't found anything like that yet.
Thank you .

5) It's been 12-13 days since purchase and i find that the battery drains like anything... initially i used to keep the bluetooth on assuming that if will last at last 10-12 (against company's claim of 18-20 days) but it only last 1 day. Then when i switched on bluetooth for minimal time. only to transfer daily band data to phone, still the band's battery lasts only for 2 days (being modest)
I think i have to charge it more often than my phone. :( this is very disappointing.
