Please everyone, stop with the complaining about no GPS in the Mi Band series. If you want to have a GPS just get a smart watch. I like the band because its 1. Has e great value for money 2. It's simple 3. Low price. I don't need a GPS, i prefer to have everything else and for lowe price. If you need GPS there's a 1000 options there. Thanks!
Maybe I'm missing something, but why would any smartwatch need GPS? Isn't the whole point that it's paired with your phone, which will have GPS anyway?
I wish there were more reviews & tutorials that feature senior use of the Mi Band 7. I'm in my 70s. I am not in the greatest health, so I won't be using all the workout features; these were not the reasons I bought this device. The reason I purchased this was to track health issues and to support senior issues. Things like the 'Find My Phone' feature (I sometimes misplace my smartphone and it sometimes slips behind cushions and things) and the 'Flashlight' feature (so I can move around my home safely when I wake up in the middle of the night). Features most meaningful to me are the health-monitoring features. -Heartrate -Blood pressure -Blood oxygen level -Sleep monitoring and analysis What is most annoying to me are the prompts; I don't need a device to nag me to do 'fitness' things (well, maybe I do, but at my age I don't care for it). I don't know how to completely turn those off, and I'd like to. I won't be running (I'm nursing a torn meniscus as I write this comment), I won't be biking (I've already hit that 'brittle bone breaking stage of life, so no falling from bikes), I won't be exercising, and until I adopt a new rescue pup I won't be doing much walking. The fitness things are useless to me. I need a video spotlighting how to make the most of the health monitoring features. Like how to work with weight input, which understandably is not an auto feature; I don't own a 'smart scale' I might be able to sync to, if that's even an option, but there's a weight monitoring feature I am clueless as to how to utilize. I'm glad for the fitness features for those who want them, but this device can be great for seniors who just want to monitor basic health and address daily function. There are a million videos that address fitness use of the Mi Band 7, but where are the senior-specific uses? And to be clear, I do know other seniors who, independently of me, have discovered the usefulness of this device and bought one. Seniors are a huge demographic that's being overlooked. Oh, and one thing never mentioned is the recharging cable issue. I really love how it connects magnetically to the device, but no one mentions that, within a short time, even gentle use will press at least one of the two tiny charging prongs into the recharging cable seating, losing the contact necessary to recharge your device. Charging cables are available for separate purchase, often in pairs, and very affordable. STOCK UP if you don't want to end up with a Mi you can't use until you get another recharging cable delivered or bought at a store. Amazon has these.
I feel that the bracelet is more suitable for running, because it is very light and will not put too much pressure on the hand. However, when I go out every day, I tend to prefer a round-screen watch. The matching of daily clothes, checking information, and making calls are very good.😄
I find your reviews simple and straightforward and I'm constantly amazed on how you speak continuously (no verbal fillers). Totally binged your videos, keep up the incredible work! 🙌 Also you are gorgeous and those veiny arms are nice to see~ 😆
Finally! A REAL improvement. I've been waiting for this for years! I've been dealing with Amazfit's Bip for awhile, but love the software so much more here. Thanks for a great review, as always, fellow Mike 😎
@@cobaltblue5523 Still waiting for non Chinese stock. I want the international version but Amazon at least only is selling the native one. I have patience, the proper version will get here eventually.
@@cobaltblue5523 Pretty big one, like the Chinese one has a few things we don't get, and despite those things being there they don't work (Like NFC).

Here are my thoughts on miband 7 after using it for more than a week. 1. Battery life: in my testing, with AOD on, it doesn't last more than 4 days. With AOD off, it lasts about 10 days. 2. Slow response: the processor is noticeably slow, it lags so much compared to miband 4 that I loved so much. Other than those two, all other things surpass my old miband 4.
Been thinking to change ,I'm using miband 4 since 2019 haha..the battery life has been good still while it still last for 10 days when the first time I use is as long as 14 days.
I wish the display doesn't get any wider after this one, longer display is ok but not wider, I wear mi band 24/7 since mi band 4 and I love it because it's small
Why not use both? I have the Mi Band 5 on my right hand + Galaxy Watch 4 on the left :) Mi band 5 I have it on 24/7 while I wear the Galaxy Watch only when I get out of the house.
@@gjram8807 I don't really care about the exact number of stepcount. As long as I reach my daily goals on both devices it'll be okay. When I go to the fitness I use the tracking on both devices. I wear the Galaxy 4 because it is more classy but too big and heavy for me too sleep with or wear all the time.
As a redmi smartphone owner, can't wait to get one of these for myself, since I never had one (with the exception of using a redmi smart band pro borrowed from a cousin) so I guess it's a good way to start!
This has to be a great fitness band ! I want a few things to be added though.... and no, not gps. 1. Altimeter, ok it uses location, but when connected, this can really help with trekkers. 2. Barometer, again, uses location, but still helps alot. 3. Somthing random but maybe something to do with space ? Like constellation or stars or some other stuff and maybe you can check what constellations will be visible to you area that night or something. Totally random though.
I've been using the 4 since it came out. I like them because all I needed was notifications and sleep tracking so getting an actual smartwatch with apps isn't really what I wanted, only thing I miss is tap to pay but I don't need a phone on my wrist. It's light too so sleeping with it on is possible. I'm gonna upgrade to the 6 or 7 cause it's time for a new one.
I wait for the day Xaomi will just decide to include things like GPS and onboard storage to store music and listen to it even just by using a Bluetooth earbuds. That'll automatically be the best selling wearable ever.
@@MikeOBrienMedia I totally agree. And I believe they can do it. You are doing a great job Mike. I always watch your reviews. I bought the Galaxy watch active 2 after watching your review and one other person's. I look forward to seeing your Samsung Galaxy watch 5 series review. I'm watching from Cameroon 🇨🇲 Africa🌍
@@MikeOBrienMedia personally I wear regular watches on my left hand (I have over 40 to switch between) and the mi band 6 on the right so going any bigger would look odd. I wanted a compact tracker with HR and sleep so the 6 fits the bill. 7 seems great in terms of feature upgrades etc but I think I've hit as large as I'm willing to go and definitely get the limitations of size for incorporating GPS etc without killing battery life. I currently get between 8 and 12 days of charge on the 6 which is great to just charge once and forget about it for a week. EDIT: BTW a pomodoro timer is great for concentrated work periods.
why are these two versions of this watch on amazon in USA? i looked up mi band 7 and two options pop up but i dont know what the differences are? they appear to be the exact same product.
Can you chose the distance as a training when swimming? My wife's got the Band 6 and it only allows time, kcal or free training. I want to set for example 1km as goal and not any of the other goals. thanks
I'm annoyed that fitbit wants me to pay £7.99 to access all the features on the watch i already own... Looking for an alternative and i think this might be it!
I recently bought a Vivosmart 5, my girlfriend got a Band 7. I paid three times as much just so I could stay in the Garmin ecosystem, but I really find it difficult to justify the cost compared to the Xiaomi. It's almost embarrassing how much bang for your bucks you get with the this device, it's like the Garmin isn't even trying. At least the Garmin Connect app is excellent.
The mi band's features are just bells and whistles honestly. If you value tracking, the quality isn't really there with this one. Then again, you get what you paid for.
i have the mi band 7 i always go for walks and the heart rate monitoring i have it in smart mode, but when i come back from exercising i see on the band that the heart rate is changing by itself from smart to 1 minute measurements, how can it be possible if i don't touch anything? It's a problem? before I always stayed in smart mode and it never changed by itself. I need to know how to configure it so that it doesn't change by itself. thanks. Responder
I own a Samsung S21 Ultra. If I set alarms on my phone. I don't get any notification on the mi band 7. Also I had a drink water reminder app. I don't get that notification on the band too. Any idea why ? I am about to return my band 7 and wait for Samsung band if Samsung apps won't sync with mi band or notifications of some apps won't be shown on the mi band 7.
As an iPhone user I am really torn on getting this over an apple watch. I just need a fitness band (¬ an overpriced watch everybody wears!) that can track my basic fitness. I wonder how is Mi Band’s connectivity over iPhones?
This is a really niche question, but does it have a wheelchair mode or exercise? I have the Mi Band 6, which is good, but I have to use the Walk exercise when I go out rolling, and I don't know that that gives me an accurate calorie count.
I've used the MI band 4 and 6. And honestly, the watch faces suck!!! It's mostly weird cartoons and takes awhile to load. It's important you highlight that fact since a lot of people are into that sort of feature. But apart from that , it's quite brilliant.
Same! Not even the comments were clear but it seems like if you value the always on display feature & wider screen the 7 may be better but can give less battery life and lags more than the 6
I find that the silicone bands are only comfortable if you never ever sweat. Otherwise they're sticky and hot and terrible. First thing I do when I order a new band is to order some kind of nylon or similar watch band to go with it.
You actually can get 3rd party apps. They have found a method to make an app as a watchface. Doing so allows it to run other apps like games or ie a calculator
I have that band currently and some things are quite bad. Like for example notification about not walking around for a hour or so. You sit down and 11 minutes before let's say 12:00 pm band vibrates and let's You know that You have not moved for a hour so get but and move.. Why not at 12.. Why every time 11 minutes before that hour.. Also what i don't like. I'm up. Moving around, cooking, doing something. Then i sit down to watch something or eat and clock get's to let's say 9:49 and vibrates. Get up. You haven't moved for a hour. I just sat down to eat or what ever. Like 3 minutes ago. Then there is problem with step counting. I get up and move a bit inside. Shows me i did 20+ steps.. Okey. Sometimes i don't feel like getting up and move my hand back and forward 4 times.. Then it shows.. I did 30+ steps.. Like how?? Other than those problems i like it.. It's good.. Feels nice on my wrist and let's me know if my heart rate it too high or oxygen in blood to low.. But that 11 minutes before hour is up is really starting to annoy me.. Should be full hour notice.
HI! You can save your workout even without bringing your phone with you on your workout. you just need to sync the band to your phone when you get home. Thank you.
PLEASE HELP! I am so frustrated. Band 6 showed weekly steps in Workout History. And to see previous weeks step numbers you could scroll. It was awesome. WHY did they remove this information from Band 7? Now I can only see my steps in chart form. And it's in thousands! For someone counting steps and wanting to see actual numbers this makes Band 7 useless. Can anyone help me please?
A "feature" Mi needs to add is setup software that is not hours of tech hell. I'm on my third Mi Band. Registration, download, linking are not for the faint of heart. It can be done, if a user is patient and has experience working with buggy and minimal user interfaces.
I see a lot of people positive in the comments. But as an Garmin and Apple watch owner, I just couldn't be happy with the lack of accuracy of the sensors and lack of software.
Wish amazfit would create their own version with the same supplier. Amazfit band 5 and mi band 5 were essentially the same except amazfit had alexa and overall better in the US market. Highly doubt xiaomi would their their certs to be able to use Alexa and nfc pay in a US market.
Does it have smart alarm? (Waking you up when you're not in REM sleep) I used to have it on God knows how old Mi band, and it worked just fine for me, although a lot of reviews said it was a gimmick. And a bonus question, which smart watch/band has it? It's honestly a must for me if I'm gonna track my sleep with it
I've had the Mi Band 5 since Sept 2020 ...it's fine, but i do wish that the heart rate measurement was more frequent than once a minute. The Mi Band 7 looks great so far.
Your footage shows it still kinda lags I was thinking of getting the miband 7 upgrade from my 6 because it's a little lazy scrolling through the menu . It's slight but noticeable
I have a MiBand 4 now and my big complaint is that they do not support a good character set so if a notification has emojis or other special characters, I just get blocks. Did they finally fix that?
In a different video a person noted that the heart beat count is slow and off. But also the calorie tracking is way off. She compared it with fitness 5, the main band 7 showed half as much calories burned on a 8mile run/hike. Kinda bad

But that 11 minutes before hour is up is really starting to annoy me.. Should be full hour notice.
HI! You can save your workout even without bringing your phone with you on your workout. you just need to sync the band to your phone when you get home. Thank you.
TY for an excellent review. Have you reviewed the Bip 3 /3 pro yet? Trying to decide between them.
PLEASE HELP! I am so frustrated. Band 6 showed weekly steps in Workout History. And to see previous weeks step numbers you could scroll. It was awesome. WHY did they remove this information from Band 7? Now I can only see my steps in chart form. And it's in thousands! For someone counting steps and wanting to see actual numbers this makes Band 7 useless. Can anyone help me please?
I have a doubt, read that it measures blood pressure, is it true?
No
Do mi band 7 counts and shows chart of breaths per minute?
@@fitnesscat761 ok but do it count breaths?
brilliant review Mike
Is it better than Redmi Smart Band pro?
A "feature" Mi needs to add is setup software that is not hours of tech hell. I'm on my third Mi Band. Registration, download, linking are not for the faint of heart. It can be done, if a user is patient and has experience working with buggy and minimal user interfaces.
I like how these bands look big on RUclips vids and on the wrist of RUclipsrs... IRL these bands are TINY! THEY ARE MICROSCOPIC !
so true lol
I see a lot of people positive in the comments. But as an Garmin and Apple watch owner, I just couldn't be happy with the lack of accuracy of the sensors and lack of software.
Nice and helpful. Do you know if the mi band 5/6 replacement bands will work for the 7? Thanks
They will fit no problem. Just cut the silicone away to make space for the bigger device.
Thanks for the review,I’ve had earlier mi bands and now use an amaze fit bip but this looks like it could be an up grade for me.
I hope Samsung are taking notes for the Galaxy Fit 3 release.
Does this band sync with apple health?
Yes
Wish amazfit would create their own version with the same supplier. Amazfit band 5 and mi band 5 were essentially the same except amazfit had alexa and overall better in the US market.
Highly doubt xiaomi would their their certs to be able to use Alexa and nfc pay in a US market.
Can u plsease recommend a good smartwatch under 5000 bugs indian rupees
Does it have smart alarm? (Waking you up when you're not in REM sleep)
I used to have it on God knows how old Mi band, and it worked just fine for me, although a lot of reviews said it was a gimmick.
And a bonus question, which smart watch/band has it? It's honestly a must for me if I'm gonna track my sleep with it
I think they did bring it back in this.
I've had the Mi Band 5 since Sept 2020 ...it's fine, but i do wish that the heart rate measurement was more frequent than once a minute. The Mi Band 7 looks great so far.
I tought u can change the rate of the measurement
@@ValtintimeGaming yes but 1 minute is the most frequent option you have
I'm waiting until the 8 comes out so that the 7 will get cheaper
nothing's changed getting the u have almost the same main features just some millimeters screen and calling it new gen
Does it have adaptive brightness?
According to his video, no
Your footage shows it still kinda lags I was thinking of getting the miband 7 upgrade from my 6 because it's a little lazy scrolling through the menu . It's slight but noticeable
I have a MiBand 4 now and my big complaint is that they do not support a good character set so if a notification has emojis or other special characters, I just get blocks. Did they finally fix that?
For you who is better mi band 7 or redmi band pro ?
I think that gps and nfc is not the worst thing the mi band 7 are lack off. I have purchased a mi band 7 yesterday from ebay.
Great video Mike 👍 If I have ni band 6 Will this be so much of difference?
How about emoji support? Amazfit has always had crappy support for them...
In a different video a person noted that the heart beat count is slow and off. But also the calorie tracking is way off. She compared it with fitness 5, the main band 7 showed half as much calories burned on a 8mile run/hike. Kinda bad
which app is currently better, zepp life app or the mi fit app?
Does anyone know if the step counter on this is accurate? The accuracy on the mi band 6 was just terrible.
Shocking how good these are for the price
I picked up my mi band 6 a week ago for 35 bucks on 50% sale
