Hi Wes! So i'm looking into bands that would track my running pace, and also have the esthetic of Fitbit Charge 5. So i wonder about Mi Band 8 and its accuracy on the running data.
I have just bought the mi band and I'm not impressed. I tracked my walk using the mi band 8 it said I went 1.6km but when I compared it to my phone GPS I had actually walked 2.25km. I then tested it on my way back, taking a different route. This time I started tracking the workout using the mi app, which then started tracking my workout on my phone and the watch, while also recording on my other app GPS tracker, the GPS tracker and the mi app tracker recorded basically the same distance which was 1.9km but the watch (keeping in mind that it automatically started tracking via the app starting it) recorded only 348metres!! 😮 It's wildly inaccurate, I'll be returning it to Amazon.

As always, an informative and detailed video review.👍Indeed, this is the King of budget fitness trackers - you can still swim with him, wash in the shower, the battery life is a champion, plus, there are many more useful functions. I’m just wondering if the measurements of the sensor are accurate compared to an Apple Watch? Can you change song and or toggle with volume while using any sport activity?

apple watch is beyond lightyears of accuracy this mi band 8 is acceptable
Very good watch, thanks for this informative video
Thanks for watching!
