Ordered mine and it was with me in 2 weeks and mint. I have a polar loop but prefer this. Long battery and can check heart rate.

got mine when I got home yesterday
BUT - is it just me or is mine faulty - it will not connect over Bluetooth with my galaxy S5
using the Mi Fit app direct from Xiaomi via Play store and MiBand 2 is showing as paired under Bluetooth settings but app cannot connect the band to the phone
Tried the suggested re-install of app / rebooting the phone / re-pairing the band etc
anyone else had this issue? Any solutions?
thanks

I ordered this last week and it has arrived today. Not had a chance to check it out properly yet as it is charging and I am scouring for the English manual...

Did Alice get you sorted out? It's just I have the same problem. Ordered on the 19th of September and it's still processing.

Mine arrived yesterday from the last time this offer was on. The manual is in chinese but easy to work out yourself. What i'm wondering is which is the best App to use? Annoying the official one isn't as good as some 3rd party ones.

Good price. highly recommended. love mine. battery seems to last about 30ish days. I feel that the band quality is better than the previous version. The old one used to split. 100% happy.

Ordered one with an extra strap for my niece. Hopefully the strap is short enough for a 13 year old. Thanks! Christmas present sorted.
it can do via a third party app(android) but that used to drain the battery of my old miband in about a day

thjeir website says they have a back log of orders to get through first ....
does anyone know if this connects to Wahoo fitness app to give send heart rate data live to the phone android (or iphone). I think it needs BTLE or ANT+.
i use wahoo for its cycling cadence so wondering whether to get this product or maybe just a heart rate monitor.
thanks

Delivery can be around 4 weeks. Yes their customer service can be slow, but for under £20, it's a bargain. I bought mine 4 months ago for £24 and it's miles better than the mi band 1, battery life is 44/46 days if you turn off the show screen when raised feature, unless it's 30 days - ish. I love it and recommend it.

ordered from gearbest 22 september, shipped 24 september, received 5 October. Loving it. No, it doesn't do continous heartrate but still, for the price it works well.

I guess more people have "never had a problem" than have had. If unsure just add insurance.

I ordered this six weeks ago from Gearbest, still not dispatched and not answering emails. Think they have stock issues with it, beware....

Their customer service is some of the worst i have ever encountered but still tempted at this price

I ordered one last week and it was dispatched the next day, tracking shows it should be delivered any day now.

hi, Could you please kindly send me your order number for re-checking ?
A large number of us always try and warn people about gearbest... "but I've never had a problem" is usually the reply.

I put the code in and the price jumped from $27 to $45 telling me code wasn't valid. Obviously I didn't carry on with the purchase. Don't know what I did wrong, as I've never ordered from these guys before.

I got mine yesterday - seems ok. I did buy the belt clip thing as I prefer it to wearing on a wrist, but it barely fits, so I am worried that it will ping out and never be seen again...

I found that mine wasn't totally accurate for HR monitoring. It'd report random drops from normal down to 40-50 bpm. When I queried this (on the Xiaomi forums) , I got a response saying that HR is only accurate if you aren't moving, ideally when you're lying down or asleep i.e. not when you're exercising! (I'd still get the drops while I was asleep though too). Its still cheap and good value for what it is, and for step count etc, it just has its limitations.

had mine for 3 months now & its fantastic for the price. far better than the fitbit charge I had & although the Microsoft band was better that only lasted a few days whereas this goes for 6-7weeks!
I had issues with the other 2, both replaced every few months due to falling apart (may be my skin reacting?) however there's no problem at all with this one due to it all being rubber & plastic, no metal connectors. also the replacement bands are July 99p delivered in ebay so great for changing the look.

Got one when listed previously (from Gearbest). Arrived in about 2 weeks. Happy with it so far. Battery seems to go down by 2-4% per day.

bough a few weeks ago and very impressed with it so far. if you use the "notify and fitness for miband" as well as the original xiaomi software, you will get a lot more options including increasing the frequency of the heart rate monitoring. the software is free or you can pay a bit extra,which I did, to get the pro version. you can set up custom alerts for different app as well.

I used the Tools & Mi Band app for similar reasons. I get continuous HR on my Pulse 1S with this app so assume it works the same for Mi Band 2.
