Yeah, this would be cheaper to leave in the box somewhere :smiley:

​The green heart rate LED's will help you find the Cake tin in the dark.

Just to say I bought the miband heart rate monitor from banggood 6 months ago at £23. it's now stopped working. Even though it has a 1 year warranty banggood were very difficult to deal with. In the end I was offered a repair but would have to return it at cost to me, which was more than a new one, or they would give me 500 points (£5) credit.

So I'm done with banggood.

Are you sure it's dead? It was a common problem with the original and surprisingly the fix was to leave it in the fridge for a night. Wake up in the morning and it charged. Give it a go if you've still got it.

There was a 15% discount code posted here for Fitbit devices purchased from Boots. I don't know if it still works

How did you get it for that price from Boots? Thx

Does this work with My Fitness Pal

Poor product. I had one (bought from Banggood in China for £27 and received 8 days later in the UK, Royal Mail signed for) and sold it on eBay after trying it.

Issues:
* plastic band is difficult to close and open
* device has to be removed from band to be charged
* no continuous heart rate monitoring. Only works when pressing a button, and then takes a long time or does not work
* App is poor and has bugs (like lots of data is recorded against the wrong time)
* Does not recognize wrist motion to display time, most of the time
* Application notification shows the same icon for all, making it useless
* Trusted device on my Samsung S4 does not work to unlock the screen

Pros:
* Nice clear screen
* Great battery life
* Good build quality

I bought a Fitbit Charge HR instead, which is much better, but also more expensive (£85 at Boots).

For people just looking for a basic step counter, then the Mi Band 2 is good value for money, and has a nice and clear screen. If you need a heart monitoring device or proper fitness device, the Mi Band 2 is just no good.

Can confirm no customs or vat charges on my band, received yesterday. Delivered by Royal Mail.

Got mine today.

Anyone found a way to pair with a Windows mobile?

Anyone who has bought this had to pay customs/VAT charges?

it is shipped from china, so there is a risk you get stung by import taxes and charges (£5.60 VAT £8 handling
charge)

Can this be used as a trusted device? ie can it keep my phone unlocked. Sorry if it's a dumb question.

Can anybody tell me whether you can read the display outside in the sunshine?
I have another brand of fitness band which doubles as a watch but I cannot read it in the sun!

I had one on order for $29.99 from Aliexpress a few weeks ago but cancelled when I realised that notifications were simply a vibrate/icon rather than the actual text. I know Brexit has screwed the exchange rate (and everything else) but that's a big jump in price.

Apparently, it will be available for $23 in official markets starting in a few months.

I thought these were going to be sold for £15-20?

my original Xiaomi Mi Band died after 1 charge. hope these new one doesn't have same problem. it will cost too much to return.

Probably been asked before but how do these compare against the likes of Fitbit etc. I was thinking about getting one of these for my Mum, who's only really interested in HR and and steps :smirk:

These seem ideal if any good. If would be paired with a Moto G.

My wife got one of these when they came out a few weeks ago and loves it. She did like the first mi band but prefers having a screen on it. She used to have a Fitbit but prefers this. Seems like a great device for the money. Oh and she has it as a trusted device for her Android

Cheap. Not in a good way. At least there's no malware/spyware with these. Or is there?

I bought one of these from Amazon last week. Only had it a week but really impressed so far. So much so I'm thinking of buying another two for the kids.

this is still too expensive considering the £15 price tag in china. When it drops below £20 il be interested
