This is one of my favourite products of last year that I still use. I like it so much that I gifted it to at least 5 people. There are people who are concerned that the product is being sold for a bit of a premium on amazon. Little do they know even at the upraised price, it is still worth it.
Here are the advantages/features I love -
a) Tracks sleep masterfully - Divides into light sleep, deep sleep and state of being awake. The only drawback of the feature is it doesnt count day sleep. So MI BAND doesnt want you sleeping in the day, get it? The Apple watch doesnt do this.
b) 40 day battery life - On average a 100% charge yields 40 day battery and sometimes even more. No product I own comes 1/5th as close as this battery. My apple watch lasts just 18 hours.
c) Accurate reading of steps, distance - The reading of steps and distance is accurate. Ignore all naysayers. I am a fitness freak whos always looking to lose weight and the simple yet perfect way this band tracks everything with a daily goal helps in losing your stomach fat, buddy. It is way more accurate than the Apple watch and costs not even 5%
d) The cost is so low. This is literally free.
e) Even if you are not connected to your phone, the band stores data for 7 days. This is incredible. You dont have to be next to your iPhone or Android.
BAD THINGS -
Silly band keeps breaking. I get drunk and lose my band. Has happened thrice. And the band broke when I was travelling. This has happened four times. Also it looks really bad after a while. I mean it is so so ugly compared to a FITBIT. I wish it was invisible.
