No a bike is much better

I'd be very suspicious. Side-loading apps is a good way to get malware... Not that the Play store is totally impermeable, but it's far safer than random apks.

you've been sold a fake mate.

Ordered 17/07 received 27/07. Not bad for snail mail from China. Worked out at £26.77 using my clarity card. App downloaded and band set up in 5 mins. So far so good seem pretty accurate

Loving the MiBand2. Ordered from banggood.com on 9/7/2016 and received 20/7/2016 make sure you use the coupon code it shows in the product description on their site, to reduce the price further. (Runs out on 31st July). I use windows phone so I am still waiting for developer to update his app to support MiBand2. I do however use Hudl2 and the Mi Fit app works great. I charged the Band as soon as I received on 20/7/2016, it was at about 40% battery life is now at 93% and that was 6 days ago. After linking with the MiFit app it popped up installing firmware to the Band and that happened automatically. Options you have available to turn on and off in the Mi Fit app, Steps, Distance, Calories, Heart rate, Remaining battery. I have > steps, heart rate, remaining battery turned on. I didn't see the point it showing distance as its not GPS linked, calories well everyone burns different rates so not useful to me. Also you CAN disable the lift wrist to browse info, which I am very pleased about. I was worried, I would keep activating the screen every time I moved my arm up during work.

does anyone here has an issue with Pairing Miband 2 with their phone?
My does not pair at all. I can see it sometimes in the list of bluetooth devices but Mi app is not working.
I tried newer (2.1.6 ) version - still nothing.
I got Note 4 Android 6.0.1

I also recieved mine today!

Ordered 9th, shipped 12th, arrived 19th. Thumbs up so far.

mine came today.. just installing the app and pairing etc. i like it :-)

Can anybody tell me whether you can read the display in bright sunlight?
I have a cheap fitness tracker already but the display is useless when the sun comes out!
Thanks.

Thanks for the info.

I have the MiBand1s and I have just purchased the Mi Band 2 just now and will let you know. I currently use the app called bind mi band with the 1s band. The developer for the windows app has a website http://www.bindmiband.com/ I am hoping he will post something soon about the new release of MiBand 2! :smile:

I have a windows phone will it be any use to me? I have read all the comments but just need some clarification, whether it will be a waste of money on windows. Thanks in advance.

Can't see banggood on quidco

:confused: login and use the code to get the cheaper price. And for the future try reading comments.
:sunglasses::man:

Showing as £35.37 now!!

Thanks. I read that one but ordered after reading this one.

Mi Band 2 was never $16, the announcement was ~$23. Given the usual £ translation that means £23 so £28 isn't far off..

Interesting review:
http://www.neowin.net/news/review-the-xiaomi-mi-band-2-is-the-most-disappointing-wearable-of-the-year-so-far

this was supposed to be a $16 band... I guess the sellers are still buying it at $16 and selling for more than double that because of the high demand.

Do you mean upgrade the app. If so how to or do you mean get 1s band?

It's not waterproof, it's water resistant. IP67 rating should be fine for washing hands and showering, but it's only limited immersion for a short period of time. I wouldn't trust it would continue working after a few swimming trips.

Do I really need this? I suspect not. Will I buy it? Almost certainly!

This?


or this http://www.swimovate.com/

ordered... code worked great thanks!

oh dear, ive just ordered and the code worked fine :-/

I did and it said something like not valid on wholesale?

I have the 1s (light sensitive version) and the sleep tracker works fine on it. maybe upgrade to that one if you don't want to risk it with this version.

Code not working?

I'm looking for a simple fitness tracker, perhaps like this but 1 thing which it needs to have is a manual counter? I want to count my swim lengths as I can't seem to do this by memory. I don't need anything that does it automatically - I'm happy just to tap something at the end of each length. This is good because its waterproof but I can't see any kind of counter functionality. I could get some kind of clicker, but I'd prefer some kind of fitness tracker. Is anyone aware of anything? thanks

On aliexpress? Say it ain't so!

Does anyone know if there is smart alarm function now? someone said that it dissappeared...

Ordered heat!!

Have band 1st gen one and sleep tracking doesn't work with iPhone despite them releasing 4 updates in space of 5 weeks.
Money wasted really as only good for step counting and alarm/ call notifications really.
Not sure if 2 would be any good to sync sleep data.

yeah - ​i get your logic :smile:

That version of the app is 2.1.5 ... the play store version is 2.1.4 - not sure it would make that much difference?

It's xiaomi website and seller was right, updated app is only available at xiaomi app store.

Any good for cycling?

Agreed. That's not even the Xiaomi website. I got mine from gearbest, and there was no such recommendations.

I would recommend Mi Band Tools as an additional app, it's a couple of quid but it has a few extra things.

I'd be very suspicious. Side-loading apps is a good way to get malware... Not that the Play store is totally impermeable, but it's far safer than random apks.

Got it for £21 from Aliexpress seller at release time, didnt count steps initially but started the next day and been fine ever since, seller said to not use the playstore mi app as it wouldnt update but gave me a link to a mi app which did.

was cheaper, but since brexit the pound has got a pounding and the price have gone up!

I guess this will continue to drop in price over the coming weeks?

Thanks OP, ordered.
