XIAOMI Smart 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!

Una pulsera inteligente moderna y ligera que acompaña tu día a día con estilo y funcionalidad. Con múltiples modos deportivos, seguimiento de salud y batería duradera, se convierte en un aliado práctico para mantenerte activo y conectado sin perder comodidad.

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.

The manual blood pressure reading constantly fails even though the automatic reading and the specific exercise timers have no problem tracking my bpm. And it is accurate since I have compared it to my blood pressure machine, the readings at my doctor's office, and my Wahoo heart meter strap. So it's some weird software issue just affecting the manual bpm reading. Hasn't been fixed in the year I have owned this piece of junk & their have been several updates. This thing literally just fell apart less than a month after the 1 year warranty expired. I bought it July 2024 and it is August 2025 now. The innards drop out when I take it off my wrist and the touch screen doesn't work hardly at all. It is still functioning, it can sync with the Mi Fitness app but it is unusable now. I also own one of their tablets I bought this year and that has been a terrible experience too in so many ways especially with HyperOS, their awful version of Android. I will never buy a Xiaomi product again. I highly recommend you just pay a bit more for a premium brand and look for used or refurbished to save a bit of money. Their cheaper prices are not worth it. You'll end up paying more over time since their products are not built to last and you will need to buy more replacements than a premium brand.

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

I bought the Mi Band 8 back in end of January 2024. I used the product 24/7 to track my sleep, steps, recovery, and other basic health markers. I knew this was a lower-end product so I didn't honestly expect the most accurate or intelligent tracking system. It worked good for steps and basic cardio tracking. But obviously weightlifting (like most trackers) is quite inaccurate. And sleep tracking was always subpar but I really didn't mind. The kicker here is that months later, the display just stopped working entirely. I can't navigate screens and it randomly turns on and off. I've spent the last few weeks trying to contact customer service, the warranty center and any representative across their websites, hotlines and social media outlets but no one can help and every number and web page they direct me to says "404 error page not found". For the price, I knew I was taking a gamble on this tracker, but I just wanted to share my experience to help out the next buyer. Since I can't get ahold of anyone for the manufacturers warranty I am now on the hunt for a new fitness tracker, one with a better customer service reputation. 3 stars because when the tracker worked, it wasn't bad - it's what you'd expect for the price tag in my opinion.

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 very scratch 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.

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.

Got this last night. I’m obsessed. It does everything I would hope for and more. I just bought two more for gifts. Will definitely get back to this in a few months with an update on whether I’m still loving it as much as now!

Franchement great product for the price. Ça fait tour ça qu'il doit faire. Je l'utilise pour faire de la natation en piscine, courir en salle et faire des étirements dynamiques. Attention par fois elle ne registre pas là longueur en nage, mais ça dépend de la nage mais je fais de la natation artistique et parfois nos longueurs sont avec des mouvements "atypique" vis à vis la natation normale. Facil à setup et la batterie dure 6 -7 jours si tu l'utilise en mode "relax", cad (avec mon setup actuel) - notifications uniquement pour des appelles et message - monitorer mon sommeil (sans erm) - faire du sport (4-5 fois par semaines)

Llegaron muy bien en sus cajitas y al introducir el código de Xiaomi confirmamos que era original. El reloj es un aparato que tiene muchas funciones muy útiles y cuenta con algunas mejoras que el modelo anterior. - A diferencia del 7 la correa no es una sola pieza, sino son dos que se atoran con un mecanismo de ganchito. Si tienes un modelo anterior no vas a poder reutilizar las correas. - La pantalla tiene un buen tamaño (casi el mismo tamaño que el 7). - Incluye más opciones de deporte que el 7, y en general tiene un buen desempeño (al menos en natación que es mi caso). - La aplicación (Mi Fitness) tiene las mismas funcionalidades que Zepp Life y los datos se pueden exportar fácilmente al hacer una cuenta, en términos generales no noto diferencias significativas entre una y otra. - Se puede personalizar fácilmente el fondo, los widgets y el menú. - Automáticamente al sincronizarla la pulsera se pone en el idioma que tengas en tu teléfono. En conclusión me parece un excelente producto por un precio razonable. Si estás pensando en regalarla o es la primera vez que vas a comprar una, definitivamente recomiendo. Si eres usuario de las MiBand y quieres renovarte la recomiendo si tienes de la 6 para atrás, el salto de la 7 a la 8 no siento que sea tan grande y creo que en todo caso valdría la pena esperar el siguiente modelo.

Mój pierwszy smart band i jestem pozytywnie zaskoczony. Najpierw sprawdził się podczas grypy do monitorowania saturacji i faz snu. Teraz używam go do trenowania i działa wspaniale. Bateria wytrzymuje około 5-6 dni. Przy tak niskiej cenie polecam każdemu
