This seems like an excellent price for a well reviewed cheap fitness tracker.
Highlights:
- Heart rate monitor: 1S with optical heart rate sensor, shows you heart rate with PPG, you can see the results more intuitively.
- 30 days standby time: Top-level Bluetooth chip and military gravity sensor ensure 30 days ultra-long standby time for a full charging.
- Call reminder: Mi Band 1S will tell you when a call comes, you never need to worry about missing any important calls.
- Sports tracking: Track your sports, record steps, distance and calories, help you achieve your sports target.
- Sleep monitoring: Let you know your deep sleep and shallow sleep, also APP will give you periodical evaluation, help you develop good living habits.
- Silent alarm: Wake you up every morning, will not be late for work; Remind you with vibration, never worry about missing anything.
- Free password to unlock the phone: Forget complex unlock password and gesture, simply raise your hand to close to phones, immediate and safe unlocking.
There are a few about, this one is pretty accurate.
I bought one to replace an existing original but shouldn't have bothered because as it stands the heart rate element is pretty much useless until they update the software to offer constant tracking.
Handy for sleep monitoring, notifications and the battery lasts ages - the activity tracking can be a bit hit/miss in my opinion.

Same as the last version with heart monitor, loads of opinions all over the web as well as each time it's posted on here.
I got my kids one each for christmas and they're a great hit, useful as much as anything for the alarms and notifications whist they're at school.

I've got the version without the heart monitor. I use mine mainly for the notifications too. It's nice getting some indication that your also walking and sleeping enough too.

My OH was going on about something her mum has, that appears similar to this but she said it kept a total of her calories for the day. The thing is it had no keyboard, so I'm guessing it used a phone? Wondering what the app for this can do?

Would this work well at tracking heart rate during exercise? Was thinking of this or polar heart rate monitor. I'm after something that monitors how long you spend in target heart rate zone

I've used the original version of the Mi Band and have recently acquired one of this new version. It won't take continuous heart rate readings - as another poster has said, you can only take heart rate on-demand from the associated app, and I've found it to be wildly inaccurate, or to fail to take a reading at all.
If you want accurate, continuous heart rate monitoring, I think you'll need to use one of the systems that has an associated chest band (such as the Garmin Forerunner range).

Just make sure your phone has the correct version of bluetooth and Android version it can work with. I made the mistake thinking my wife's Galaxy S3 mini would be okay. Sadly it's not, the OS is too old.
