XiaomiSmart Band 8 (Global Version)

July will mark 1 year since owning this watch and I absolutely love it. Heart rate tracker is incredibly accurate and comes in clutch especially during workouts. The step count, sleep tracker, battery life are the best and my most used features. As a nurse I also appreciate the built in timer and the water resistance! Apps can also be sorted for your convenience through the Mi Fitness app instead of having to scroll and find what you’re looking for. I will be buying a different band that is more secure as the only issue I’ve had with this watch thus far is the standard black band getting caught and coming undone on things. It just pops loose and I don’t like that. However, overall an excellent watch!

This serves the purpose I need, which is a basic watch (with alarm, timer, etc.) and step counter/exercise monitor. I mainly use it to measure the quality of my workouts. It has a lot of functions that not everyone might use, but you can easily adjust the settings to toggle functions on/off. Battery life is great, at around two weeks per charge (but I'm sure that would be greatly diminished by having location turned on). So far, I've had no issues with it syncing to the Mi Fitness app.

This is as good as any other "fit" device. It will not do texting but will receive messages. It will only buzz, no bing bong.Its a China app and all data is sent to China. But the app is actually a full functioning app and will allow for pushing data to google or other fit apps on your phone.Colorful display, several default options to allow for custom look.

Bought this and it died after less than a year of use. The build quality is terrible and there is no warranty support from the seller or manufacturer. Have used Xiaomi band since band 2 and so disappointed with this one. The back cover comes loose easily and water gets despite it being rated for swimming! it died while i was washing my hands.

My wife wanted a fitness tracker that didn't constantly spam her with notifications like an Apple Watch did. Her watch of choice was an old fitbit that had finally died. All other new fitbit choices were pricy and had bad reviews of dying early. Enter this watch. It works great, has a great screen, and is sized like one of the original fitbits! App notification are easily controlled with the app. AND PRICE! for the cost of this watch, it's a no brainer

Bought this tracker to replace my Fb4 which decided to brick itself one day while charging. I've grown to love this tracker and when purchased (8/2024), a recent app update allowed more customization which were welcome. Things have been going great then recently my band broke, more specifically the loop that holds the band. Found replacement online and it was easy to swap out. A week or later (yesterday) I noticed my tracker wasn't responding to touch. Thinking the battery died, I plugged in the charger, battery is at 29%, screen works, doesn't appear to be damaged, just no touch response. I've noticed the back cover is loose too. I'm thinking moisture has seeped inside and that's causing the issues with the screen not responding.

I love this watch, I’ve been wearing it since September 2024 with no issues. I charge it for like 30 minutes and wear it for 2 weeks at best.It’s small and cute, and I got some bands so it’s not overly bulky with my more formal attire. I never got a screen protector but it’s still veryscratch free. I don’t ever take it off, the screen is sensitive so with water contact, it will touch on its own, totally fine.I wish it was more compatible with my iPhone fitness/health app but I guess this is what I get for the price I paid.Now, 6 months later and this is my screen. No life, left is in rice, and just morning. This randomly happened this weekend. It lasted a few minutes then the screen came back, weird. Then it happened again and just never left.I love the brand, and the cost especially so I am thinking to buy a bigger and later model to replace this since I cannot return but I am bummed out. 6 months is such a short time.

I have purchased this watch like 3 months ago and it was the beat purchase I have made so far!! This watch is packed full of new features that the previous model did not have! Not to mention this watch is incredibly accurate, for the $45 price tag!!! I was thinking about buying a Fitbit because I have been a Fitbit user for years now and my previous Fitbit wore out and I was on the hunt for another smartwatch! When I ran into this one it was like heaven struck the Earth! Really recommend it! It has a lot of useful features such as, Sp02 blood oxygen tracking, heart rate monitor, over 160 different exercise modes, sleep tracker, and so much more! Would highly recommend to anyone who is on a budget and looking for something to fit their budget spending needs.
