It ships from china (despatches within 24hrs according to the info on the link) so should get here in time for Christmas if you're thinking of buying as a gift.
There are 2379 pieces quoted as being in stock at the time of posting so plenty to go round BUT this price is advertised as a "flash sale" and so will expire and go back up 34% in price in 4days and 3hrs or so from now.

For anyone buying this product, DO NOT install the latest version of the Mi Fit app, there are faulty firmware updates for the band that are pushed out with the Mi Fit app that basically broke the Heart Rate sensor, broke sleep tracking, and made the calorie count completly inaccurate. in other words it makes the mi band 2 completely useless for anything other than a watch to tell the time....
- DO NOT just go to Google Play and install the latest version of Mi Fit, the app automatically updates the mi band 2 firmware with the broken firmware without giving you the choice of whether you want to upgrade or not.
- If you've already installed the latest version of Mi Fit and updated the firmware it's too late, you cant roll back the firmware and you will have to wait and hope Xiaomi fix the issue, so far in 30 days they havent fixed it.
- Find Mi Fit App version 2.1.9 this will update your band to firmware v1.0.0.39 . This is the last safe version. DO NOT install any newer versions of Mi Fit.
- Xiaomi software support is very poor they dont seem to care about fixing the issues wioth their faulty firmware (bugs introduced in firmware v1.0.0.53).
Take a look on the Xiaomi forums and see howe many people are complaining about the issues with the faulty firmware. It was a great product before the faulty firmware killed it..
- NOTE: gearbest and banggood are not official Xiaomi resellers so Xiaomi dont honour warranty on products purchased from from them !

*** THIS FIX WORKED FOR ME ***
Mine update this afternoon before I saw your message, it updated to FW1.0.0.55 but it did still appear to have stopped the heart rate monitor and also the capacitive touch button working. A re-boot of the phone fixed the heart rate monitor but the button still didn't work, I fixed that by going into the Mi Fit app (Profile option) and turned the "Rotate wrist to switch info" on and then off after I confirmed the button was again working.
All sorted now, it's working like a champ again!

Links to the couple of posts from last month with info and discussion.
do not worry about the tight stock, ordered mine and was shipped within 24 hours, delivery via expedited took 10 business days but according to the tracking info it was sat in london for 5 days. Good little product, not too sure of its accuracy as of yet but for £20 worth the money.

I have tried most of the solutions here https://www.google.co.uk/search?client=opera&q=mi+band+2+heart+rate+not+working&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
......... and none of them work !
or have you got the show hr on band turned on?
it does only show for about 1-2 secs before going off-unless you tap quickly on the band.
