You guys are my new favorite tech reviewers. You're not afraid to be brutally honest about the negatives of a product and I love that. Overall, you always provide a very fair and balance approach.
I ordered two of these and I hope that they are at least somewhat useable: It being in Chinese is not a problem, as I have to work on my Mandarin anyway, but the no NFC in the United States is a major let down.
Thanks for the review! One question tho, does it have Pomodoro timer feature? I know 6 and 7 band have it, but can't find any info about this for 7 pro model.
Some funny Fact post sale service: If your band gets any minor scratch on it then warranty is void. MI service centre will call any software defect as "Customer Induced defect" due to scratch so wear with caution or keep it in wardrobe so that no scratches are there on it and its under warranty :-D It happened with me recently. They refused to look in some non-working functionality due very minor scratch on it, called it "customer Induced defect, so OOW" Enjoy with caution 👍
C’è anche il supporto alla lingua inglese? In futuro ci sarà un aggiornamento di xiaomi per la lingua italiana sullo xiaomi smart band 7 pro versione cinese?
the moment you connect any chinese mi band with NFC to a non-chinese xiaomi account it will automatically download a firmware update to it to change it into a global firmware. so basically you lose your NFC support because Xiaomi refuses to support NFC outside of china. but yeah it should work just fine - i've owned every Mi Band from 3-4-5-6 and my Mi Band 6 is the "chinese NFC version" but the moment i synced it with the Mi Fit app it downloaded and installed the Global firmware on it automatically and except for losing NFC functionality it has been working and looking IDENTICAL to the global version, so if you are interested in it than you shouldn't have any worries
@@4-F are you sure about that? my Mi Band 6 NFC version does not have any sort of NFC settings on the band itself or in the app? how did you make it work?
I used this in the UK, I nearly sent it back because for 3 hours I tried to pair my watch with my phone, it only paired after I put China add my region not UK then the software updated. I still can't change the units from metric to Imperial so I'm stuck in km instead of miles which we use in the UK. But apart from that it works although it's still not showing my VO2 MAX
Hello and Thank you for this review!! My question is does this watch work with Google's Wear Os?? I'm thinking of purchasing this watch and would like to know if it will work here in the US??
@@sabrinamerrick1271 So does the mi band use Wear Os or Xiaomi's application?? Thank you for answering my question!! Have a fabulous rest of your day!!!
For such a reasonable price, the Pro band is fine, imho, only downside for me: available in China only and no pay functionality, except in China, of course. I've had a number of Xiaomi and Amazfit bands a,nd have been very pleased with them.
Do we know FOR SURE that GPS is coming to the Mi Band 8??!! If so, I will definitely wait, since built-in GPS is the ONLY reason I was considering getting the 7 Pro at all.... I'm not a fan of the "smartwatch" form factor (band/bracelet is my preference), and since I have no interest whatsoever in notifications or anything of the sort (this is, after all, supposed to be a fitness band, not a smartwatch), I would LOVE to get GPS in a smaller form factor....
Yes it does, I'm using in the UK but to pair the watch you have to select your region as China where ever you are in the world or it won't pair, then it'll straight away update the software. Only think it's the units are km. Maybe wait for global release.
Me to be honest and honestly,i really like,love,mi band 7 pro,because screen big,we hope xiaomi global bring to Indonesia market,we so exaited and also we awaited for buying😎👍
Just wondering if you really like the big screen why don't you just buy smartwatch ?I mean the Amazfit GTS series price not that much different from this 7 Pro, at least here in Malaysia
@@bilalmeziane smartwatch should be better than smartband, but I'm not sure tbh, maybe you can check review 1st which one is better for your usage/preference
During setup you have to choose CHINA as region. For me, the language appeared as English by default. I'm told that it takes the language of your phone (english)
NFC feature will NEVER come to the global version. xiaomi have been lying that they will bring NFC to the global versions of Mi Bands ever since the Mi Band 3 from 5 years ago... people need to get that "they should put NFC on it" because in china an NFC version for Mi Band has existed ever since the Mi Band 3. in china you can get the Mi Band 7 with NFC. basically the main feature that makes this Mi Band 7 "Pro" is the built in GPS feature. that's it. other than the GPS and standard aspect ratio screen it is essentially IDENTICAL in features to the chinese Mi Band 7 with NFC version.
I like it,it looks better than the mi 7, and accurate in steps,I have the normal mi 7, and the pro,the mi 7, if you move your hand in bed it think I'm waiting, this doesn't do that,so I don't think that they are the same.

Is there will be a global version?

Hello, great video! Could you please explain how did you change language from Chinese to English?
Does either the 7 or 7pro allow the use of the timer app while monitoring workout eg Freestyle training or Indoor fitness at the same time?
Is the global version released yet?
Thanks for the review! One question tho, does it have Pomodoro timer feature? I know 6 and 7 band have it, but can't find any info about this for 7 pro model.
i think that he's talking about mi ban 7 owners who wants to switch to the pro version
You have mentioned that AOD isn't available in Mi band 7. But Mi band 7 does support AOD.
Well done good informative review 👍
Frankly, I find Xiaomi's proposal very relevant, especially compared to Huawei Fit 2 and other FitBits at €150.

How would you compare this to the Redmi watch 2 lite since it also has a GPS and almost the same size. Also where can we buy this Mi band 7 pro?
From AliExpress
if you are in the US, you can order it from walmart's website. That's where I got mine.
bbetter review then most 1mill sub channels! niceee thx
Hey, can the band be connected with other countries Mi-Account like Germany or does the account has to be China?

Can you disable the Bluetooth?
can the miband 7 pro track running cadence and stride?

The most beautiful Band from #Xiaomi , till now!
Does it have PAI
"Considering the watch does not cost as much at the apple watch straps"
What did I just hear
how i can change the language from Chenese to English
the laggyness is what keeps me away from all android smartwatches or bands. None of them are as smooth as the apple watch.
i prefer global version than CN version
caused much more language and alexa voice
How change language to English from Chinese

Absence of PAI is a huge lack.
looks like an iwatch
This thing can't even count steps. 10 meters of walking and it counts 300 steps. Yeah, right. lol.
