MI Band 6 works out to be around 37.5% cheaper than SS Fit 2 here in India so the default choice is the MI Band 6. This despite the fact that I own an iPhone too but do not want a big smartwatch.

But playing a piano is technically not sedentary. You might argue that you stayed in one place while your hands worked out, but same happens in sex. We're pretty much in the same place, but still "workout." So, yeah, it counts as a calorie burn.
I have both 2 bands and here are my opinions about Mi band 6: 1) screen : it does get bigger than any other series so I like the size of the screen, but I am lil bit doubtful if it really has better(higher) resolution than Galaxy fit 2.(Mi 6 has higher one according to the spec tho.) With a full brightness on both, I can see Galaxy fit2 has more sharp and clear resolution than Mi 6. Mi 6 shows little bit unclear edges of an image. 2) CPU spec : I definitely can say Galaxy fit 2 has way better CPU, cuz it responds very fast when you slide your screen, or run some functions, while Mi 6 does relatively but significantly slower. Your Mi 6 screen moves when you completely finish your finger sliding from side to side, for example. You can also find this on the video. Focus on the screen when he slides of both bands. 3) Customisation : Definitely beats Galaxy fit 2. Mi 6 has lots of faces on the Mi fit app and it has even customed face, where you can customise vibration patterns as well. Any other software-ish things depend on an individual taste so I cannot say either would win.
@@beatrix8308yep Galaxy watch app works on ios too. But if you are already using Galaxy watch series like Watch active etc., then I would not recommand to pick Fit2 because the Galaxy watch app only connects with 1 device. But if you are not, I bet you would be satisfied enough with Fit2.
I bought fit 2 the quick reply feature is so much convenient. I hope Fit 3 comes with swipe navigation, smaller bezel screen, camera shutter and customizable face.
Honestly, I was close to choosing the MI band, but decided to get the Fit 2. Samsung already has my information since I use their phones, so I do not need to give another company my information if there are alternatives on the market.
Informative video. Thank you. I like the shape of the Samsung fit more, it looks neater on the wrist for some reason. But the accuracy and features of the mi band makes it a winner for me. Any thoughts on the Mi band 6 vs the Fitbit Inspire 2?
@@karthikreddy524 Not bad for its price. It's still holding up (except for the silicon band I had to replace this month). Pros: - I can set goals for number of daily steps and daily activity - I can measure heart rate and blood oxygen levels - Heart rate monitor will also check your bpm periodically depending on your preferences - I use the mi band to track bpm and calorie burn during workouts - You can also view your workout history - I charge the battery once every 3 to 4 days - It vibrates if I've been idle for too long - I am notified when I have a phone call e.t.c (this means I can leave my phone lying around without worrying about missed calls) - Alarm is useful when you don't want to wake up other people. You can also set custom vibrate pattern. Cons: - Sleep tracking is not very reliable so I turned it off - iOS app drains my phone battery during the night so I always turn off bluetooth before bed - To get accurate heart rate measurements, the band has to be worn very tight but this will make your hand hurt after after an extended period because of the constriction. I also read constriction like this can damage your nerves so I always keep it loose and comfortable now. But I had to turn off heart rate monitoring because there is no point if I am wearing the band loosely. I still take measurements manually once in a while so I tighten the band and then loosen when measurement is complete. Hope this helps : )
@@yega3k I have bought the Mi band 6. All the things you've said is correct. Except in case of battery, I can't even use it for a single day with all the health monitoring features off. So I'm returning it. I guess my model is fault or some other reason🤷♂️. Can you recommend any other fitness bands?
I just upgraded from the mi band 5 to 6 and loving it! Massive QoL features w/ my favourite one being the ability to access music controls **when** doing a workout mode is active! Also love PAI it's been a game-changer for me and has help me stay consistent dude lockdown times! Also love how customisable the home menu is. Biggest pet peeve is that I really need to invest in a better strap that is more delicate for my skin! Also worth knowing you can only set 6 max shortcuts on the left/m+right of of the watch on the homescreen compared to the miband5 (personally I was able to make do with that amount). Awesome to see tracking is mostly onpoint too, thx again for your review!
i have a question. does mi band 5 or 6 log how many steps you take a day and calories burned? but without manually selecting a walking workout. As in it just logs your daily steps logged whether or not you are conscious of the band
A smol reminder : MI band 6 supports 2 apps as well the first one is Mi Fit app and the other is Xiaomi wear app. I am not good at reviewing those apps so can't tell much abt it but I use Xiaomi wear app and I use it mostly to change watch wallpapers with custom ones.
Easy choice Samsung users: Fit 2 Other Android users: band 6 Why? Band 6 has More functions, more screen wallpaper and more can be customized, and better deal.
Can I add extra notes? Been wearing Fit2 since Dec 2022 til today : Fit 2 ; Female Health Tracker - only available in the Samsung Health app. This app is where all the data of wearer's heart bpm, steps, stress, sleep, workout, food can be viewed (daily, weekly, monthly) but you need to sync the data from Fit2 to the app via app settings (auto or manual sync). Fit 2 also have the nudge function to tell you to take a walk if you've not been moving for 1 hr, which is a great feature. If you wanted a weather forecast update, you'll need to set the weather widget from the Samsung Wearables app settings and switch on location widget in your phone. There 's also a camera remote function in Fit2 but I've never really succeed in using it. Fit2 can also give notifications (calls, text, WhatsApp, Instagram, Email etc) as long as you set which app in your phone via Samsung Wearable app that you wish for Fit 2 to display (limited to 4 notification at one time). Fit 2's sleep, steps and heart bpm is, unfortunately, not so accurate but the app fot Fit2 is smooth and user friendly. Fit2 is still good device for general wellbeing tracking though.
Unfortunately, after one month of trying everything I can with the Xiaomi Band, intensive and different workouts, sleep analyses, etc , I've just concluded that the sensors and results seems much more random that actually true.
@@jakecrackerbarrel8348 With all the honest reviews I've seen (and too many reviews from youtubers only wanting to grow their view count), I totally agree with you on Fitbit. It's more expensive but it's not a gimmick as those cheap bands with sales based only on marketing and "fake" reviews. I'm really considering doing the same as you.
Readability is worth looking into; we're a lot of people getting 'old eyes' and needing (reading) glasses... Glasses don't work in the pool... or needed when exercising.. But if numbers are too small, the device is useless. Thanks for a good review. Will get the mi band because the figures look bigger..
I love my fit 2 its really nice. I was thinking about getting the mi band 5, but im happy with my choice. I mainly wanted it for a smart watch killer, but of course i wanted fitness features. I'm wondering what the fit 3 is going to be like.
The Galaxy Fit 2 allows some basic canned responses to SMS and WhatsApp. Being able to reply "Yes, No or OK" direct from the band is really helpful. I don't think the Mi Band has this. Samsung doesn't have any emoji support which means some messages can't be read on the Fit 2 whereas the Mi Band does has limited emoji support. Last time I checked on the older Mi Band, it wasn't possible to change music during a workout, you had to quit the workout to access music control. Samsung doesn't have this limitation. Because of this, I went for the Samsung Fit 2
Ah! This is hard! I use Samsung, so Fit 2 is obviously a better pick for me but I think I'll be switching back to iOS in months. That huge bezels on Fit 2 is a deal-breaker for me too😔 I hope Fit 3 will have less bezels and bigger screen.
Noting that the Fit 2 is discontinued by Samsung, it is still available for sale (Amazon). I picked one up as an alternative wearable for when I'm outdoors or in my workshop and don't want to chance messing up my Watch 5. It is a great little unit not unlike my original Fitbit Flex 2 which finally died after 7 years, but nowhere near as small (knowing it also has way more features). It will make a nice tracker and basic watch, which is all I need it for when I don't have my Watch 5 on. The added benefit to me was I switched from Fitbit to Samsung based health monitoring and it will tie in seamlessly with the Watch 5 and my phone (all Samsung now).
I loved my galaxy fit until it popped off my wrist and fell in a public toliet so i left it in there, the band isn't that secure so i won't be buying another one unless to put a more secure band on it.
Battery life for mi band 6 is not 14 days as they claim. I would say its around 10 days if you use it. But If you enable PAI which is one of their core features, band brings a message saying your battery life will be shortened twice. So I assume with PAI its only 1 week.
4:17 I am using mi band 5 and it does have auto fitness tracking! The only actual difference is that in MI band 6 we can find workout history , large screen and sp02. no offence :)
Reviews are great! Quick question as another reviewer of devices - what mic system are you using? It sounded really clear and I don’t see a lapel mic. Thanks!
I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A as my Smartphone because it has a SIM slot and I don't like carrying multiple devices. Samsung Wearables are not compatible with ANY Tablet PC, even if it is in the Samsung family. My Xiaomi Mi Band 5 pairs perfectly with the Samsung Galaxy Tab A. I have only had the Mi Band 5 since christmas and it is already showing problems. I am looking to upgrade the MI Band 5 to the 6 because I have noticed a slow down system wise and that the step meter has not been accurate from the beginning.
Why Apple didn’t do something like MiBand? Fintness bracelet and smart watch absolutely different kind of gadgets. I had AW5 last year and it was don’t comfortable for me. Now I with MB6 and I like it! Thanks for vid, it was interesting.
If apple do make smartbands, they have to compete with mi bands and the others with a "reasonable" price. And that, is something they probably will never do
good video I have just bought MI Band 6 one of these to replace my Samsung Gear S3 which is dire so looking forward to trying it out. Thanks for the insight it definitely influenced my decision on which one to buy.
The mi fit app that the mi band 6 uses can sync directly with google fit while the samsung health app needs a third party application for it to sync with google fit.
Which is better as an alarm... yes that's why I'm interesting in getting one, as an alarm, cause maybe a thing vibrating on my hand would wake me up better then my phone which I somehow unconsciously dismiss it's alarms off after consciously dismissing the first one that goes off...
@@aminaabdi7180 I actually stole a random huawei watch from a relative who got a better one(he didn't mind it at all) and I've been using it as an alarm. Kinda effective? Recently my arm has kinda gotten used to it so I have to also set an alarm on my phone else it won't wake me up entirely.
The biggest difference that you did not mention is that you can respond to notifications with the Samsung. I have the MI band 4 and it is great, but I really want a version with this feature.
I watched your video today. And i subscribed and set the notification. Your videos are realy interested. You can explain things clearly. I think you have good future. Good luck!
Hi there as per your experience what you prefer which one best for me to buy in UK I m confused Mi 6, huawei 6, huawei watch fit , huawei fit elegant ,samsung fit 2 or honor 6 please reply thanks
No huawei or honour Please, they actuallt helped identify Uighurs in china, it's blatant human rights abuse, it's the tiny bit that uh can do :) Jazak Allahu Khair :)
I dont like that the galaxy fit 2 doesnt use the whole screen. Seems pointless to have such a small box as a screen when u can offer more display area like the mi band 6.
@@rayzortex Huawei have it in a cheap band, nothing stopping these guys from adding it and raising the price a little. didn't know there are guys like you who take fitness bands personally.
@@anasrida3454 Dude, the last time they added a GPS on the band you mentioned was on the Huawei Band 3. And get this, the price for that is much more expensive than these 2 fitness trackers. Plus, if the GPS they added was accurate enough, why didnt they continue on adding it on the latest version of the Huawei Band 6 which is the same price as that too? What i mentioned by "cheap budget" was, the fitness trackers that are the same price range as Fit 2 and Mi band 6 ffs. Other than these two you can include is Honor band 6 which is also the same price range. Huawei is seriously out of these 3 Fitness trackers price range which is obviously why i didnt mention it in the first place. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
My 5 after 5 mins says something like: "You're walking, do you want to save this?" Maybe you're inst sure of the activity you're doing. In the mi fit app, you can tag a behaviour. Select running and teach it that.
Whats the thickness of these two fitness trackers i have average size wrist and I'm looking for something that would be look nice and slim against my wrist
I've been using fit 2 for almost more than a year n i get only 7 or 8 days battery backup😥 tho i keep my brightness at level 2 , but auto stress n auto heart rate monitor on
Mi band has lots of textile belt available on Taobao with different colors and designs. I dont like the plastic feel of original belt, and will order belt from textile
I've been using the Fit 2 for some months now and I've been very happy with it. Just one thing that bugs me is the lack of watch face options. They're very very limited when compared to Mi Band. Edit: Mike I don't think Fit 2 has auto brightness, I don't find it in settings. I have to manually increase the brightness from quick settings every time I step out.
My first miband 6 came with my phone, and I liked it enough to buy a second one after it came off of my wrist in a nightclub. If you decide to get one, invest in a new strap, the one that it comes with isn't reliable at all.

Definitely the Fit2 won this
Mi band 6. If a fitness band is so inaccurate as the Galaxy Fit2 seems to be then it's as good as a chocolate fire guard me thinks.
The fit 2 I like most
Galaxy Fit 2.
I hope this is better than fit 1, i have fit one hate it
I would also mention that with Fit 2 you can use quick (predefined) replies to notifications, which you can't do on Mi band 6
But do these quick replies help you so much. I really don't think that they are so usefull even though you can set them yourself in the app.
Well sometimes they are useful like when you set them correctly. Reply with ok or call you later is useful for me
@@kenankiller3878 but those are really the only two options I think. But I guess some people use this feature more and some less :)

Sleep tracking with such devices is pretty inaccurate
Galaxy fit 2 does not have Auto-brightness detection for sure. I have it.
Yeah because i was surprised when he said that because i didn't know myself 😂
One of the most annoying things these bands and watches have is that when I'm playing the piano it registers as a workout.
But playing a piano is technically not sedentary. You might argue that you stayed in one place while your hands worked out, but same happens in sex. We're pretty much in the same place, but still "workout."

Why Apple didn’t do something like MiBand? Fintness bracelet and smart watch absolutely different kind of gadgets. I had AW5 last year and it was don’t comfortable for me. Now I with MB6 and I like it! Thanks for vid, it was interesting.
If apple do make smartbands, they have to compete with mi bands and the others with a "reasonable" price. And that, is something they probably will never do
good video I have just bought MI Band 6 one of these to replace my Samsung Gear S3 which is dire so looking forward to trying it out. Thanks for the insight it definitely influenced my decision on which one to buy.
Thank you! This exactly what I have been looking for.
The mi fit app that the mi band 6 uses can sync directly with google fit while the samsung health app needs a third party application for it to sync with google fit.
Which is better as an alarm... yes that's why I'm interesting in getting one, as an alarm, cause maybe a thing vibrating on my hand would wake me up better then my phone which I somehow unconsciously dismiss it's alarms off after consciously dismissing the first one that goes off...
Which one did you buy and how would you say the alarm works for you?
@@aminaabdi7180 I actually stole a random huawei watch from a relative who got a better one(he didn't mind it at all) and I've been using it as an alarm. Kinda effective? Recently my arm has kinda gotten used to it so I have to also set an alarm on my phone else it won't wake me up entirely.
Buy a literal alarm clock. ⏰⏰
Mi band 6 includes many workouts and also has blood oximeter and stress monitor
Fit 2 has a stress monitor too
The biggest difference that you did not mention is that you can respond to notifications with the Samsung. I have the MI band 4 and it is great, but I really want a version with this feature.
I never used the fast response feature if i got a notification i just read it on my watch and if its important i'll go get my phone
@@user-mq4hv9zf9o you really should try it. It's great.
I think that only works with Android devices, in the video he is using an iPhone
Eyy man just followed you on ig. Keep up the good reviews!
What watch you recomend me to do excercise in the gym and play basketball? I use LG mobile phone
Also tell me wich is the best watch in general
Thanks Mike!
As always very detailed and on topic 👍
wait how do i get the fit2 to last two weeks? i have heart rate measuring every 10 minutes and it only lasts about 1 week
Login to samsung in wearable app
Does mi band 6 shows energy level and standing and Vo2 max in xiaomi wear app?please help
I watched your video today. And i subscribed and set the notification. Your videos are realy interested. You can explain things clearly. I think you have good future. Good luck!
I have a Samsung galaxy phone is it wiser to get the fit 2 or will the band 6 work as well? Usability and compatibility wise
Hey Mike, can u do a comparison with the Fit 2 and Huawei band 6? I'm wondering which is better..
Fit 2 is better
is it true? I personally liked samsung health better, does the huawei health app is similar, or not as good as samsung health?
The Galaxy Fit2 cannot measure your blood oxigen level which is quite important in these Covid-19-ish times!
Does the mi band 6 accurately count steps and which fitness tracker do you reccomend for under £50 which is accurate
i have a mi band 6 and yes the sleep count accuracy is great👍🏼
Just got my mi band 6 and it's pretty awesome. Any tips
Just waiting for galaxy fit 3 which should have a bigger screen
The Smasung galxy fit 2 has an idle alert system. What do you mean? By the way, great video 👍
Thanks for your informative comparison 🍻
I miss your video. And you're finally back 👩🎤
You must compare the mi band with the huawei band 6 or the honor band 6
+1
Does the mi band 6 finally support notifications without vibration?
Hi there as per your experience what you prefer which one best for me to buy in UK I m confused Mi 6, huawei 6, huawei watch fit , huawei fit elegant ,samsung fit 2 or honor 6 please reply thanks
No huawei or honour Please, they actuallt helped identify Uighurs in china, it's blatant human rights abuse, it's the tiny bit that uh can do :)
Jazak Allahu Khair :)
2:20 what it is easy buckle up my samsung galaxy watch fit2 the Samsung is more secure actually
Hey bro can you plz make any watch vs xioami mi watch lite
What is your favourite fitness tracker
You've just earned my thumb's up and a subscription from me. Great work. :)
I dont like that the galaxy fit 2 doesnt use the whole screen. Seems pointless to have such a small box as a screen when u can offer more display area like the mi band 6.
Question;
have you found it easy to pair the Mi band with the Iphone??
does it have an app to work with the IPhone?
does it work all with the iphone??
Thank you for making a clear choice.
great video just wondering if you have tried the huawei band 6 if so how does it fair to these
Amazing review you got all the point
Thankyou for the comparison 👍
Does it support blood pressure monitoring???
the lack of built in GPS is disappointing
Go fkin buy a smartwatch if you want that. Dont expect GPS on such a cheap budget price ranged fitness tracker lmao 🤦🏻♂️
@@rayzortex Huawei have it in a cheap band, nothing stopping these guys from adding it and raising the price a little. didn't know there are guys like you who take fitness bands personally.
@@anasrida3454 Dude, the last time they added a GPS on the band you mentioned was on the Huawei Band 3. And get this, the price for that is much more expensive than these 2 fitness trackers. Plus, if the GPS they added was accurate enough, why didnt they continue on adding it on the latest version of the Huawei Band 6 which is the same price as that too? What i mentioned by "cheap budget" was, the fitness trackers that are the same price range as Fit 2 and Mi band 6 ffs. Other than these two you can include is Honor band 6 which is also the same price range. Huawei is seriously out of these 3 Fitness trackers price range which is obviously why i didnt mention it in the first place. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@anasrida3454 Hauwei makes bigger bands, just look at the size and compare
Did I miss it, did you make a review on messaging capability and notifications?
thanks Mike! I made my decision now.
Thank you for this!
thanx Mike! Just lost my mi band 5 when swim and water jump.
My 5 after 5 mins says something like: "You're walking, do you want to save this?"
Maybe you're inst sure of the activity you're doing. In the mi fit app, you can tag a behaviour. Select running and teach it that.
Keep up the great work❤❤❤
Im wearing the galaxy fit 2. But in this showdown, mi band 6 wins. Lets see how gal fit 3 prepare for the battle :).
thanks for this video. does the mi band have 24/7 SpO2 tracking?
Yes!
@@luispires6935 could you please show that in your next video?
Mike, can you use the mi band to connect to an iPad and can it still track distance if the phone/iPad is not there.
Yes and yes but it will only count steps because it doesn't have gps
Whats the thickness of these two fitness trackers i have average size wrist and I'm looking for something that would be look nice and slim against my wrist
Is one easier than the other to sync into google Fit? Already have an older miband doing this
You can't sync data with google fit on the samsung (strava only). The Mi fit has that google sync option.
I've been using fit 2 for almost more than a year n i get only 7 or 8 days battery backup😥 tho i keep my brightness at level 2 , but auto stress n auto heart rate monitor on
So which one should I pick
Mi band has lots of textile belt available on Taobao with different colors and designs. I dont like the plastic feel of original belt, and will order belt from textile
That came out quick
Just trying to make a few videos this April
@@MikeOBrienMedia ye thanks I may buy one now 😂
Thanks, good objective review.
I've been using the Fit 2 for some months now and I've been very happy with it. Just one thing that bugs me is the lack of watch face options. They're very very limited when compared to Mi Band.
Edit: Mike I don't think Fit 2 has auto brightness, I don't find it in settings. I have to manually increase the brightness from quick settings every time I step out.
Samsung Galaxie fit 2 hast no Auto brightnes
So shld i get the fit 2 or mi band 6? Idk what to get
@@1andonlyfaxz787 Go for Mi band 6 in my opinion
@@finishers29 does it have better acuracy?
@@1andonlyfaxz787 yeah based on this video, Mi band 6 did a better job it seems
How do you send information from Mi Fi 6 to your Android phone program? Please
My first miband 6 came with my phone, and I liked it enough to buy a second one after it came off of my wrist in a nightclub. If you decide to get one, invest in a new strap, the one that it comes with isn't reliable at all.
