    used the mi band 2 for years, absolutely loved it and the 1 month battery life was incredible. eventually, the screen became too dim to read so upgraded to a mi band 6, and the terrible battery and oversized shape really was a difficult adjutment. so why are they making it even bigger on the 7?
    as the 7 pro shows, this thing is becoming another amazfit bip. i ended up just buying a bip, it's less comically sized and shaped. they really shouldve stuck with the long battery life and small size.

    • @parsaplayz4857
      @parsaplayz4857 2 года назад +3

      well there are ways to increase battery life on the 7 like the battery saver mode which i personally wouldnt use bc of the reduced features but if you're looking for more battery thats for u

  • @jamieregan2467
    @jamieregan2467 Год назад +2

    I just bought one of these for swimming. Doesn't seem to be very responsive when the screen and my finger are wet (a bit of a problem for swimming) and when I've finished my swimming, I have to swipe the screen FOUR times to pause the timer. It took me 12 seconds the other day. What's the point of a timer if it adds 12 seconds on to your time?
    I don't understand why it's like this.
    Oh, and it misses lengths. I clearly can't have swam an odd number of lengths if I've finished at the same end of the pool as I started.

    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.

  • @thomHD

    I loved this out of the box, but still ended up sending it back because the distance tracking is so poor without a smart phone/4G - consistently 15-20% off. If you need to take your phone with you anyway this thing is entirely redundant.

  • @scottmcgougan2658
    @scottmcgougan2658 2 года назад +5

    My Band 7 I believe to have a couple of bugs but not sure if it's just mine maybe defective. Would love to hear people's thoughts. It's basically I don't find the music controls responsive. The volume down is fine, but the volume up and skip tracks just don't work well at all, barely work. Yet they appear to work better when no music is playing, so assume it's maybe a software issue? My Band 6 was flawless on the controls front.

      Must press button to see your heart rate displayed for a single moment in time. Not real time display, at least on the watch face. Not sure about the app, because I didn't care about that - not going to run while holding a phone in my hand. Returning it because of this.

Strange to me that people are so casual about sharing personal info. Data with a country that has a social metric system in place. Sending mine back to the retailer.
