***If you do not see the band please do not hit expire, go to full site select China and the right hand band in the colour selection and still same price!***
So I was looking at the scorching hot Xiaomi powerbank deal (link below in case anyone missed it) and checked for the MiBand and found them for £9.72 delivered, price stated as for today as think it fluctuates a little every day due to conversion.
Save a whole 6p as of 16/10 as now £9.66!

Reviews on their site give it 4.5/5 from 491 reviews. Numerous other reviews out there that rate this highly, and they were mostly done at the higher prices!
This is with the black band, additional bands in various colours are available for £3.28 each: http://www.banggood.com/Original-Colorful-Xiaomi-Miband-Bracelet-Wrist-Strap-p-951981.html
Think this is a no brainer if you are thinking of getting a band or tracker. If you don't like or decide you want a better band/tracker then it it's no major loss, if you're happy and want to keep it result as it is cheap as chips (in an expensive restaurant!)
I'm assuming it is the IP67 version, if so link to the mi.com:
The differences between Colorful LED and White LED Version:
1. All new white indication lights update : Xiaomi Bracelet indication light color changed to bright white.

Yeah, be careful, you don't want to blow 9 quid and then find out it's not the latest, greatest version.

This is one the cheapest and great deal for owning a fitness bracelet. I usually use this for tracking my light and deep sleep. For the pedometer, whenever I'm [email protected], technically counts my step too."

I bought 3 of these. 1 for me and Mrs then my sister wanted 1 too. I used mine quite a bit....very low power consumption and track well. but without a doubt there was always a discrepancy of about 1000 steps between mine and the wife's (we swapped) but over a long walk mine and sisters were fine. then the tracker fell out of the band somewhere in Torquay and eventually I replaced it with the wife's as she got annoyed with the accuracy on hers and she stopped using hers.
then last month my sisters stopped registering with her phone and won't register now no matter what I try.
so for me these were initially good for the money but you do risk loosing the centre tracker part from the band and question the longevity of them. under a tenner they are certainly worth a go even at least to see if you will bother with it.
sleep tracker was accurate but u don't need a device to tell u of u have had a carp nights sleep.

Excuse my ignorance ...does this work with a Nokia windows phone. Anybody know ?
Yes it will work - there are two windows apps available, one called Bind Mi Band and one called Mi Band Companion which both work although the latter had some functions which weren't enabled. Can't remember exactly which as it was a while ago but think it might have been the deep sleep measurement function...

Yes, there are a couple of third party apps that work with it absolutely fine. Not as much details as the iOS and android ones, but still works fine.

There are a few third party apps for it on Windows Phone. In beta mainly. Variable reliability in my experience.
Note that for Android it must be 4.4 onwards. The app won't work with 4.2.

If you've updated to Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) please be aware that there are many reports in the Google Play store that the tracking and sync doesn't work.
No doubt Xiaomi will put out a fix at some point for the app, but just wanted to raise it so people are aware that it isn't working atm.

I have a Nexus 5 and updated to Marshmallow on Monday and the app is fine.
Had one of these for 3 or 4 months now and very impressive for a tenner.
My little strap has snapped and so if I happen to knock it and it comes loose I have probably lost the lot but for that price I would probably get another.

Might be a new version out in a few days if rumours are correct.
