Still £15.91 here http://uk.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_362705.html?wid=25s

Came today. Very impressed so far! Former user of a Fitbit Charge HR.

Thanks OP.

I just got mine Ordered 24th May, dispatched 25th, delivered 13th June.

Looks like people are starting to see their orders? I'm still waiting, ordered on the day.

Usually GB is pretty quick for me...

Sorted mine now, once I synced it with the phone, the time changed automatically

Why has this expired? If you click the link the price is £15.91 for 1 day and 20 hours more.

I can't even get mine to turn on?

Code doesn't work for me

Anyone advise how to change the time? Simple I'm sure but can't see how to do it?

I’ve purchased this, can someone who owns this comment on the alarm feature? Mines when I tested it, vibrates for 3-4 seconds. And goes off, and does not come on again. Although I have the feature enabled for sleep mode every 10 minutes unless I long press it. I had tried with both one and off, in regards to the snooze setting. Still with little to no good results. I have also tried it on another iPHone of mines, a IPhone 7 Plus and IPhone 7, still encountering the same issue. Thinking isit the actual product causing an issue or just with the compatibility for IPhone.

Purchased from gearbest last week and arrived yesterday. No customs to pay or anything, looks like it came from a UK warehouse, or atleast through one. Ordered 2 for me and the other half.

just buy it.
i have used them 3 times and all went well

Anyone know the limit for customs duty fines ? thinking of buying this and some other items

oos now

I ordered mine from Gearbest on the 18th and it came today, it's awesome! highly recommend.

Thanks OP.

Ordered on 17th and received today. Thanks OP.

Just checked mine and it says it shipped today too. Got tracking number too. Hope everyone gets theirs without problems.

Ordered on the 18th and now showing as shipped with a tracking number, hope yours is also on its way.

Just using the Mi Band app for iOS - it sadly won't integrate with Strava etc..

Customs will be charged on declared value - bigger parcels in my experience are more likely to be stopped. Many retailers fraudulently declare a low value on the declaration - you'd expect customs to be more likely to investigate a large parcel with a low value than a smaller one. At the end of the day it's hit and miss though - I've heard of things stopped at 30p over the value and stung accordingly and other things go through at much higher declared prices.

What postal / courier method used will also greatly affect the chances too.

With regards customs, will buying 2 or 3 of these affect the chances of getting stopped and would the customs charge simply be a percentage of the value? Cheers!

Original Xiaomi Miband 2 OLED Display Heart Rate Monitor Bluetooth Smart Wristband Bracelet. This was on another thread from banggood. What's the difference!?

Do these work with Windows phones?

Mine is stuck on 'Preparing'. I actually think Tidebuy have no stock, it's been a week since I placed the order.

Best to use Paypal with overseas purchases. Paypal are nearly always on the buyers side if things go tits up.

Yeah slow as they come, poor really. Doesn't take much to process the order and ship, just lazy

How about customs charges? Limit for outside the Eu is £15 - so if it gets picked up charges and VAT will push it up to £25 plus.

Is it safe to pay with debit card, A lot of people using Paypal?

Magic device! Stylish, simple and convenient fit band.

Just bagged one for £15.51 Del. 15-35 days ...thanks OP.

New code, try now

when I put in the code, I get code expired and the price goes up to £28.42 - so want to order, but getting frustrated.

Ordered from Tidebuy on the 18th and still showing as processing, I contacted them via live chat on Tuesday and was told order would be dispatched in a further 2 to 3 days so hopefully will be shipped by Friday.

Thanks. Wasn't sure if I should be worried. Haven't used them before, and after reading some reviews, thought I might have made the wrong decision.

Procesing is 3 to 7 days, give it awhile.

Has anyone actually had their order shipped from Tidebuy? I ordered mine last week and it still says processing. I've emailed them but no reply.

Anybody else getting "The code you entered has expired"?

Good price ordered

Kinda obvious its a fake no?

My missus just ordered me one from here for £4.49 + £3.99 postage.

Bought one from tidebuy for ￡ 15.81 inc delivery, use code "NEW" when you sign up.
It was this or the lenovo hw01, prefer the smaller design of this and you can change the band if you want.

15.45 with delivery from https://www.tidebuy.com/ . Apply code inside basket 10off or any8. You dont need create account , check out with PayPal.

These work great however the iOS app is horrendously buggy but works great with Android. There are a couple of software bugs such as measuring sleep if you go to sleep after midnight, apart from that it's really good.

Works for me... read all these comments and I'm sleeping much better now - Thanks

£15.51 from Tidebuy excluding delivery but you can get an extra 5% off by sharing on Facebook or making a new account which more or less cancels out the delivery charge

Yes]

Can the notifications on these be turned off so they don't make a noise/vibrate?

I get "The Code you entered has expired." for the iOSMIB code.

OP posted an updated code earlier this morning

That's my excuse for being overweight, find something else!

They are great but if you lose the screen which is pretty easy since after using it for a while it starts to fall and there is no way of getting it back
I learned the hard way

I really hope they sort it out. I've reported it to them.

I have one of this since release and it's fantastic. was so impressed with it I even bought a xiaomi phone which I absolutely love! dont hesitate and get one

How? Promo code says it's over now

A black wristband comes with the device but you can buy other colours and swap them. I ordered white but after not too long it is looking a bit grey and mucky looking. A shame as my old pebble watch had identical looking rubber and it was pristine all its life. Not worth buying extra strap imo but it's otherwise a great value device. I never take it off for showers and going in swimming pool by the way, although NB I am a paddler abouter not an actual swimmer.

Last update has broken the mi fit,lets hope new update arrives soon. I have even loaded old apks still will not work.

In Chrome the payment page for Aliexpress is an absolute nightmare if you have "Block third party cookies and site data" ticked. Works fine if you untick that.

Thanks OP - just purchased at £15.51 with free shipping

I have one of these. I've personally found it to be as accurate as my Apple watch 2 in terms of steps. I bought it so can wear to play football in so like that it is small and cheap! It isn't waterproof but I've worn in the shower a few times by accident and it has been fine. Battery lasts nearly a month too which is super nice. It fully integrates with Apple fitness too which is good.

any sight of this being delivered for anybody that ordered?
The shipment suggests it coming from within UK with a tracking number from Yodel but not clear if Yodel have even received it yet

Anyone found a solution to Mi Band not re-pairing after phone factory reset?

Cheers

Thanks, but I've had mine for a while and did all this when I got it. I was getting all the notifications but after the last update, the notifications have stopped. Not sure how to make it work again...

Download the app and when you pair it with the Mi Fit app , hold the phone next to the Band2 and it should sync . I am the worst geek in the world and I found it quite strait forward.

Great watch as I said before, but I'm not getting notifications since the last update. Does anyone have instructions in English that might say what to do?!

They do ask for alot of permissions. Access to contacts, reading text messages etc.

Install the MiFit app to set up everything for your mi band.

I'm so glad you've said this. I thought I was going mad. It won't read my heart rate, but works straight away on my friends. Now I know why!!!
Also, how do people get the alarm and sleep monitoring set up? My instructions came in Chinese and I can't find an English version

Thanks. It doesn't have an option of switching the Bluetooth off, just that it's not connected to the phone do assume it still sends out signal/radiation in an attempt to try n connect to a device.
quote=Shovon]I read you don't have to have bluetooth on in order for it to count steps. Bluetooth is only for call notification and when you want it to connect to the app.[/quote]

Great thanks for the answer. I might purchase it just for that. Don't really use a alarm but no hard in using it if I wakes me up earlier eh. I can't use my mobile alarm atm as the baby might wake up :P

What app are you using for that?
Does it work with Strava?

I had to download the app to purchase.

By purchasing Miband Tools from Android store it makes the band a whole lot more useful, mine it set to alert me of whatsapp messages and show me the first part of the message, alert me to emails with the senders name displayed, alert me to calendar events and vibrate when I receive a phonecall.

Expired

For just a cheap item, why bother?

Won't let me even access a payment screen for some reason.....

My arms are kind of hairy like most males, hope it works on me!

Where else would you wear it to get the heart rate function working then?

Ordered from Tidebuy for £14.90 delivered. Signed up as a new customer and added 'NEW' to the promo code.

Gearbest checkout is broken on all browsers, just returns to previous page on trying to place the order. Cheapest was £15.11 with 80p registered customer discount.

Can I vote lukewarm for this deal

http://www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_362705.html?

Approx £18 after conversion

I read you dont have to have bluetooth on in order for it to count steps. Bluetooth is only for call notification and when you want it to connect to the app.

Managed to order one thanks OP! Paid $21.99 though and ships from china.

It does say for android iOS - can it be used on Apple through their App Store? Thanks

I've bought four of these for the family. They're very good. We've tried the third party apps which don't really give you anything extra that is useful so I wouldn't bother with them. Waste of money.

Screen protectors ...

They just cancelled my order

Can't buy it. Yellow triangle keeps showing up. Have tried numerous times!

Now £23.61 - Saying "Flash Sale is Over"

its £17.50 now and in stock. ... your better off doing it without clicking the link.
plus 5% topcashback

lots of extra straps available as well http://uk.gearbest.com/xiaomi-band-2-_gear/

same in here

Trying to buy it, but I keep getting the yellow triangle at checkout...

Damn raciss watches lol... Where were you trying to wear it if not on your wrist?

It's not OOS, just ordered.

Thanks OP.

Easier paying £28 on Amazon receive next day , no waiting and easy to return if not happy. Would never buy anything again from China etc 8 weeks later recd nowt and got Paypal refunds

im expiring this as I am fed up I've spent ages on an oos item.

every time I attempt to pay I'm shown an irritating triangle. grrrr

It vibrates on your wrist. It doesn't bleep, but the vibration has woken me up every time. If you don't get up it auto snoozes and goes off again ten minutes later. Really good feature.

Oops missed out again

hi
seems to be a good price for this - how long does delivery normally take from gearbest?

never ordered from the before.

Thanks
dont worry flash sale ended back to £23 somthing now - ill go on amazon

I've used them in multiple swimming pools, and saunas and steam rooms and they have been indestructible thus far. Incredibly useful in such situations.

Try this add on app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xtracer.miband2funcbutton

Does anyone know if these will work with a Windows mobile?

Tbh this is even good as an alternative to a normal digital watch, its slim and non obtrusive.

Same problem here

I have a Apple Watch, however need to charge it at night. Out of curiosity, how does the alarm work? Thanks

cant order , keeps kicking me back to cart. tried on ipad, macair and android. anyone get successful checkout?

I use mine for cycling and you get GPS of the route, elevation and heart rate. Works out your pace per KM and also tells you the minutes you spent in each heat rate zone. Pretty useful really!

Anyone aware of any non bluetooth watch that counts steps and is reliable please?

lol get airpurifier from vax.co.uk i got 2 from vax with vax manufacturing sale it was so cheap ,comes 2 year warranty ,perfect costumer support,

yes it is ,using apps and set up alarm,it is vibrate for 10 second i think.and also you can set up several alarm similar to your smart phone.

found it. You had to click the picture on the tidybuy.com site

battery life is good ,but if you use to measure heart rate continously like fitbit charge 2 ,just battery last for a day, IP67 Waterproof ,i did not swim with it but had a shower always,or wash my hand, buy fitbit charge 2 it is much much better.

This site keeps saying choose colour but there its no colour button.

You should probably consider spends 20x more on an Apple watch then. Maybe then it wouldn't be crap?

i have been using mi band 2 last 4 months ...No! with official aps,but there is another aps you can measure continously but there is a issue ,You have to charge battery every day,buy fitbit charge 2 .it the best for the money,what you pay you will receive

These cheap smartwatches are crap. I bought one recently and used it for half an hour then left it on drawer.

no stock on any !! sold out

enter code its £28 and without code its £17.50!!

I own one. Bought from Gear Best for just under £18. Clever little device, easily paired with my LG phone.
Happy customer other than the ridiculously long time it took to turn up, over 2 months. Postmarked Malaysia.
Yes, it's not "all-singing all-dancing" but for the money what on earth would be?

A little word of warning, this watch does not work if you are black or have hairy arms. I have to wear this watch over my wrist for the heart rate functions to work

Says code expired

No, If you mean work without ever using a phone
Yes otherwise, cannot remember if it stores 2 weeks or 4 weeks of memory - it is limited, but can work without a phone for a couple of weeks, would not be smart watch otherwise

Depends on what language you want and where you get the mii-app. The watch itself is numbers and pictures.

You get English from the UK play app store, go to the app store of a different country if you want another language or side load it

There's loads of different styles of strap for the Mi Band 2, they are all over a google search and the websites that ship from the Far East.

Here's just one, with good feedback, and in the same style as the strap that comes with it, for £1.18 delivered -

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Smart-Band-Wrist-Strap/32734832933.html?

The battery on mine lasts for at least 6 weeks. Depends how much heart monitoring you do.

The fact the firmware fils to update everytime you open the app on ios is heartbreaking

without a phone there not really a smart watch.

Had the same problem when using IE. Switched to Edge and everything went through OK. So maybe as I did try another browser.

Do these work without a phone. I know someone who is looking for a basic smart watch, cheap and cheerful. But it there any point if they don't have a phone? Can it function like a normal watch?

Ended.. Code does not work anymore.

Buy here for £14.99, use code NEW for 10% discount.

https://www.tidebuy.com/product/Original-Xiaomi-Mi-Band-2-Heart-Rate-Monitor-Smart-Wristband-12722690.html

Which phone is that in the Picture please?

Flash sale ended...

Bought one of these instead from AliExpress
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Teyo-New-Smartwatch-A9-Camera-5-0-MP-Heart-Rate-Sleep-Monitor-Sedentary-reminder-relogio-inteligente/32812687395.html?

Thanks Op it gave me a link to this one

anything else worth ordering as well? cheers op

yes. sent via the app. much more discreet than your phone beeping

Dont buy this.I bought this few months ago, screen has gone dead. Looks like lot of them have the same issue, no resolution. according the company GearBest is not the official supplier and hence they wont support it. Save yourself some money.

I hoped it would be useful for my swim but alas no - unless I got it wrong - 35 minutes in the pool amounted to about 30 steps. However it is a good bargain buy and fun to keep track of your fitness , steps, sleep, heart rate as well as other alerts and a Watch too. Battery life is up to one month so I am told.

This one is the Global/International Edition if anyone is interested, little bit more expensive
however it is CE Approved, English Manual, Different firmware and not China Servers.

http://www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_618266.html?wid=11

How good is it? Didn't know air purifiers exist lol

watch your not stung VAT when arrives in the UK.

I charged mine on th 9th April and battery percentage is currently 42%.
It will not count lengths in the pool.

I've ordered from them before, £150 and the item turned up damaged and unusable, not anything that could have happened in transit either. They refused to refund the item and Paypal wanted me to sign an affidavit and FAX it to them (I guess they also expected me to time travel back to the 80s). I just took the hit and ended up out of pocket because of the crooks at Tidebuy.

did not seem to work. can't get pass the payment page. =(

Got one thank you

It's spot only. You need to be still while it takes a reading, triggered from the band or the app.

Thanks OP

I followed the £15.91 link, used the 50 points for signing up to Gearbest which knocked 80p off the price so, got the watch for £15.11. Cheers OP. Heat given.

Code expired for me

Have had one for a few months an find the heart rate monitor to be poor espcecially when actively exercising as returns results lower than my resting heartbeat. Not sure if the unit I have is faulty ?

Buy here http://uk.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_362705.html

Never bought from here. Using teh code NEW gets you 10% off and then paying via PayPal is additional 5% off.
So £14.99 delivered. Just shy of £1 cheaper than deal posted.

Is code still working? Seems to be going up in price for me. I've tried both HK and HK-2 warehouse

Waterproof to win for an hour in pool?

I believe it does not count anything under 10 steps to cut down on actions that are not walking. Also the distance is way out there is no way to calibrate stride length, even if I put in I am a foot taller the km is very low.
Heart rate sometimes a bit hit and miss it can change drastically between 2 readings, also not good if exercising as arm should be still. It does not seem very good at high BPM compared to the machines at my gym.
Battery life is excellent.

Absolutely brilliant device. Battery is amazing. I'm currently on 68% after 18 days. No problems with translation etc. Everything is working fine, just be aware of their quite strict security on devices pairing (i.e. if you cannot get to your mii account, then you can't use with the official app. You can with 3rd party apps though.)

And to add to this if you have an iPhone it also hooks into the Apple Health app for steps, heart rate, sleep patterns, although doesn't as yet carry over the km distance covered from walking etc into Apple Health. App and watch updated every month or so, so more features will be added as they have already.

Both. I have mine just for workouts (well the running mode on the app) and when in that mode via the app its checking very frequently, possible constantly, and I have it turned off for all other occasions, helps save battery life, which is excellent anyway so no worries if you have it on both.

Thanks got it for £13 with some of my points

Yeah it does.

does anybody know if this has an alarm function on this?

Don't know about swimming, but the battery on mine last almost a month between charges.

Girlfriend has one of the new fit bits, tried then both on each wrist. Mi band always comes out less.

Tried on treadmill too, fit bit virtually the same and the mi band was a mile behind on a 4 mile treadmill session. Defo doesn't track well on a treadmill.

It also doesn't pick up small movements I. E. Walking to answer the front door, I'll sit back down and it will be alerting me that I havnt moved in an hour.. When I have!

Well when I get mine I will give feedback No risk with aliexpress. They don't get paid if you don't confirm you've received it too

not sure what you are comparing it too, but i have one and a fitbit blaze and less then 50steps difference over the day - kinda about as acurate as you need really. Sleep monitors really good too. Would say the heart rate readings are bit hit and miss mind if wanted for this purpose. where it outshines the fbit is battery life....2weeks, if paired to phone for alerts etc, 3weeks if that was all turned off. GVFM

Zero feedback though

How is it with all the other features ?

Ordered

Not great tbh, had mine for a few months, not very accurate. It seems to defo under count steps.

If you are looking for something serious I'd give it a miss. Good value for money though for what it is

You can get replacement straps with free screen protectors from Aliexpress for 65p with free delivery here

shipped from China FYI

Just ordered.. heat added. thank you

Still £15.91 here http://uk.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_362705.html?wid=25s

mines showing as £24.73 urgh

Thanks tehwabbit

It's a little cheaper here now the code's not working: https://www.tidebuy.com/product/Original-Xiaomi-Mi-Band-2-Heart-Rate-Monitor-Smart-Wristband-12722690.html?c=GBP&tb_from=&adword_mt=&adword_ct=154476925133&adword_kw=&adword_pos=1o2&adword_pl=&adword_net=g&adword_tar=&adw_id=7283679273_689428513_35742051975_pla-65399634571&gclid=CjwKEAjw6e_IBRDvorfv2Ku79jMSJAAuiv9YWGE-52ImFc9ye3kRiyThhqodLJ_LRHpgNf4_l_xqUxoCDSXw_wcB=

My order just got cancelled for no reason

Can these be used to measure heart rate continously during a workout or just for on the spot heart rate? Thanku for any help!

it doesn't do everything...and you're limited to the functions available to the app which has come a long way since its introduction.
For the money it's great.
I love the notification vibration - when my phone is switched silent I even turn off the buzzer now since this thing will notify me.
Setting alarms via the band is nice as well - more convenient than the phone as well as not waking up others in the morning
it also does constant heart rate monitoring when jogging - this was added not too long ago - pretty sure it's not as accurate as the chest strap ones though

What is the battery like on these?

Also can it be used to count lengths in the swimming pool?

.

Excellent band. I recently bought it for about £18. I like the text/phone notifications too. Very good value for money if you don't care about labels!

Me too expired - three times I have missed this now

Thanks gr8h8me - yeah still a bargain at £17.50 so will buy. Thanks OP !!

Ordered - thanks OP!

I'm logged in but everytime I add the Promo code the price jumps from £17.50 to £28.42 !! Anyone else having this problem ?

It hooks into the main google fit app too, although the main Mi-Fit app is ok to be honest. Much better than the dodgy apps that a lot of chinese products have!

Not really, your hands aren't moving much when you are gripping the bars so it doesn't really trigger the accelerometer, same way the pedometer doesn't track well if you are pushing a pram/trolley etc


I just wish there was a "nicer" band for it.

Any issues with any translation? Can you just use your own fitness app with this?

Notify and fitness app in google store is pretty useful with these, not sure if iphone version available

Great price OP

Gearbest has also had the Xiaomi Air Purifier on offer very offten over the past few weeks - it's currently the cheapest I've seen at £111.38 with no import duty costs. Their declared customs value from when I bought mine was for £10 - very dodgy. Delivered by Yodel within 7-10 days.

Is it any good for recording cycling distance

ordered. heat added. thanks

I own one of these and a iphone and they are superb. especially for the money, depends what you wanna do but they do what I want, steps, sleep and all the fitness jazz and let me know when phone rings and who is ringing and when I get a text and who is texting and if I have a calendar appointment.

Link for iPhone app anyone?? Please
Sorted now thanks.

Is this compatible with iPhone?

yay, gave mine away a while ago and missed it.... thx op

Mad price, bought this for a couple quid more. Great value for money and paired up with mi band tools it's very useful!

I bought 3 last time for family. They are really good and cheap. I had 3 updates already so they do work on the software

Nice one Gooner. Thanks
