Bought one of these last time it was on offer and fitted a screen protector off Ebay. Took about 9-10 days to come from China and really impressed. Has a much better charger attachment than an Up3 bracelet we own (which cost a lot more) The USB on this has a little docking slot that I personally find a lot easier to use and it doesnt keep losing charge. I downloaded the free Mi Fit which synched everything easily after setting up and records my sleep and steps. Sleep is quite basic compared to Up3 app, as it just concentrates on amount of sleep, deep and light sleep with the odd heartbeat recording. I've not found much in the way of other apps yet that can record running or gym workouts. I downloaded Mi Band Tools for £1.79, which to be honest didnt add much more in the way of functions, than the free Mi Fit app. These two apps can conflict so make sure you set one of them to give you notifications rather than both. I usually miss Whatsapp conversations if my phone is in my pocket. I now get a little Whatsapp notification and vibrate when a msg comes through. It does exactly what I need but isnt intrusive in an office environment. I have checked the heartrate monitor and find it only a couple of beats off the expensive treadmills our gym has. Battery life is amazing and lasts for days. 4-5 days of wearing and still at 80% so I reckon at present potentially 15-20 days on a single charge. Also you can download Mi Band 2 function button, which allows you to tap the button to cycle through Spotify/music playlists. Again its something small but really useful in the gym when you dont have to keep stopping and changing playlists/tracks. All in all it offers exceptional value for money, best 20 quid I've spent. Any questions give me a shout.

I got one of these last time they were cheap and it is a very good watch.
My wife has a FitBit HR and they are pretty much on a par, with the exception of the battery life, my one lasts a week without charging, the fitbit lasts about 3 days
One word of warning tho' the last time I looked the official Android app broke the HR function on the Xiaomi. It may have been fixed by now but I dont know as I use a windows phone so have had to use a 3rd party app, whch works fine.

I bought mine a few months ago and I've never had a problem with the app.

I ordered mine 2 weeks ago and have my fingers crossed for a pre-christmas deliver. Not holding my breathe though :-(

Same here, ordered when the deal was posted 2 weeks ago. Wish I'd of gone elsewhere than Gearbest and paid a tad more for it to be here by now. Good price, terrible delivery times!

Looks like they have fixed it in the latest release, all the reviews in the app store before 17/11 complain about the update breaking the HR function, these seem to have stopped now.
