This has good reviews like from PC Advisor UK: "the Xiaomi Mi Band is an excellent-value, lightweight fitness band with outstanding battery life. It's as accurate as any other fitness band, and we particularly like its sleep monitoring, vibration alarm and phone call notifications. The Mi Band companion app is very easy to use, but falls down only in its integration with other fitness and social apps." This model includes heart rate monitoring.
Price is $15.99 (USD) but To get it for this price, a pop-up appears stating to sign up for email newsletters for 50 points. Do this and then order it and you are able to deduct $1.20 from order. Also, if you're new to Gearbest you get 8.8% TCB (4.4% if not new to them) or 8% Quidco. So if you get 8.8% grand total is about £10!

That will be your phone then mate! For 11 quid you don't want much. I was disappointed not to see a James Bond style laser and no ejection seat, damn cheapskates.

Were you pushing a trolley at the time?. I've found this with a number of tracking devices. They don't pick up when you are pushing a trolley or buggy etc. I've started to take it off and put in my pocket for these long type of walks

Their app connects to Google Fit which could be good.
But am looking for something with screen to show who is calling, change music track and esp Google Fit integration.

Sounds like you're in the market for a smart watch rather than an activity tracker.
'In reality' as opposed to? No one is pretending it's anything other than a cheap tracker.
it may have good reviews but In reality you're paying for a tracker which is somewhat accurate and worth the dirt cheap price it cost

had mine around six months and i love the alarm feature. i silently vibrates which is a lovely subtle way to be awoken in the morning and dosnt awake the wife as opposed to a high toned beep alarm clock that i previously used. also great as i never miss a phone calll, text , email etc as it vibrates to let me know. PLUS there is the obvious fintness benefits so all in all i highly recommend them

Bought mine from Amazon for the same price. Not recommend if you're an apple user, very limited features. Also I spent a hour walking round asda and it told me I'd done 250 steps...my pedometer strapped my ankle said 10x that amount. It's not great to be honest!

Got the Sony SWR10 for under 11quid which did well including music change, no Google Fit but I like a tiny screen to decide to take call.

Thanks op. Was looking at fitbits recently but couldn't justify £80 to check how well I sleep. So £12 is decent. Got 8% on quidco. So decent.
