Great smart watch!
I wanted to participate in a steps challenge so I wanted to get a smart watch, however, I am not a watch person so I didn’t think buying an apple watch would be a good investment for me especially if I end up dropping a lot of money on it only to eventually stop wearing it, so I decided to go on a hunt for an alternative. Eventually, I came across this one and there was some pretty good reviews on this so I decided to take the plunge.For me, I keep the watch pretty basic, so I don’t have notifications on (phone calls, text, etc.) nor do I use it for my calendar or eventsI have now worn it close to a month and although I have some gripes with it, I am overall satisfied.Pros:- Personalization: You have a good selection of band interfaces to choose from and can change them easily within the band or app.- Battery life: Excellent!- Health Tracking: For someone who is just starting to workout in some way or wants to track health, this is a great basic start. Some of the youtube reviewers did say that the app could use some work and is too “lite”, but this is my first smart band and I think it does a great job with not overwhelming you. I mainly use it to track my heart rate, stress levels, sleep, and cycles but it also has blood oxygen, weight, blood pressure, blood sugar and vitality score. Along with calories burnt, steps, and moving. This can be seen on the app and band.- Workout: It has so many workouts to choose from that I am sure you’ll find yours there. I only use it for walking and pilates. For walking, I can see my route on the app because of the GPS, along with other data. Pretty neat.- Screen: It’s a good size, it’s slim, and the screen is bright. I have it in auto detect so it adjusts its brightness based on the environment you are in and it’s very responsive.Cons:- Sizing (Minor): For people with small wrists like me, I have to wear it somewhat tight. It’s still pretty comfortable though! I have just enough spacing that I can slide it if I get too self-conscious about the tightness. This is a minor con. I’m going to consider buying a different band.- Screen (Major): It scratches so easily! I had so many micro scratches within the 1st to 2nd week. I had to buy a screen protector.- Alarm (Minor): It is in 24H and cannot be changed, but I do like the vibrating feature though.- Tracking (Minor, because it hasn’t entirely failed me, but can easily go to Major): For some reason the GPS acts up as soon as I walk out of the house which is ANNOYING. When I first had it happen to me, I didn’t know what to do and it would not connect, so I had to reset it. It undid everything back to factory settings when I did that, and luckily the band is basic so I had to re-download the band interfaces I previously had and re-sort the apps, nothing too complicated. Well the 2nd time it happened, I just decided to force start my workout and it pretty much got signal within seconds and was fine, so I hope they fix that or upgrade it in the next version.- Units of Measure (Minor to Major): For people in the US, you won’t be able to change everything to your metrics. You can change the weather and watch but you can’t change the height, weight, miles from the metric to imperial system or the alarm from 24H to 12H.- Compass (Major): I had such a hard time getting it to work for me.- Tasks (Minor): It doesn’t support emoji’s on the band and its VERY limited in characters.Wants:- Weather: I would like the band to be able to view the weather hourly for the next 3-7 days. It’s only able to do it daily for up to 3 days. Although you can use your phone, it would be more convenient to add this especially when you are outside doing your workout.- Tasks: I’ve only been able to input tasks through the app which is fine, but it doesn’t support emoji’s on the band and its VERY limited in characters which is a bummer. It would be nice to expand this app, as I am big on to-do lists and others as well. Or allow the syncing of the Apple Notes app with these upgrades.- Find phone/Find Device: I found that it only vibrates and I don’t have good hearing so this isn’t at all very helpful to me. It would be good if it actually made sound and did just a tad more in capabilities.- Music: it would be cool if it could access the playlists you have on your phone through the band. But, overall, you can play the current song you’ve been listening to, or will just automatically start with a random song once you hit play.- Units of Measure: It would be good to have all of them be changeable. Some are and some are not, and this can be a deal breaker for some people especially in the US.- Personalization: I would like more options. It makes it fun.

Excellent Upgrade and Value, But Needs Finer Software Tuning
​The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 10 is another fantastic iteration in the line, offering serious upgrades that make it a genuine competitor in the budget fitness tracker market. The 1.72″ AMOLED display is bright, crisp, and a huge leap forward in size and clarity—it makes reading notifications and workout data much easier, even in direct sunlight. The claimed 21-day battery life is essentially accurate; I’ve been getting close to three weeks with moderate use (daily notifications and three workouts a week), which is incredible. The multi-sport tracking is comprehensive, and the heart rate monitoring seems accurate enough for daily fitness purposes. BT5.4 connectivity is also fast and stable.​My only real hesitation, which keeps it from a perfect five stars, is the software experience. While the core features are great, the notification management can be a bit finicky at times, requiring me to reconnect the band to the app occasionally for consistent alerts. Also, the sleep tracking, while generally good, sometimes misinterprets quiet reading time as light sleep.​Overall, for the price, the Mi Band 10 is an exceptional piece of hardware with unparalleled battery life. If Xiaomi releases a few software updates to iron out the minor app and tracking kinks, this will easily be the best budget tracker available. Highly recommended for the display and battery alone.

Me gustó mucho. Fácil de conectar con tu celular, es cómodo, la batería dura mucho y cumple su función. Tiene muchos modos de ejercicio. Muy buena opción.

Fantastiskt

Vraiement sympa comme bracelet, facile à porter, pas trop grande pour dame. Installation très aisée sur téléphone Samsung. Super sympa de pouvoir changer l’affichage. Autonomie très confortable, pas sur que ça dure 21 jours comme annoncé. Recharge très rapide. Par contre, c’est pas “blanc”, c’est blanc gris le bracelet. Le prix est très correct pour les fonctions qu’elle offre sans se ruiner.
