Second unit also DOA. Thanks GearBest. No more money for you from me.

I've got a Paypal claim underway for the first one. GearBest wanted me trying all the fixes I had already tried from searching online, and then to send them a video of the faulty unit. Sod that, it's a common fault so straight to Paypal. Gearbest made an offer through Paypal to return half of the money, but no, give me my whole £8 back.
Waiting for the second Mi band and hopefully not round two.

I know that the can't have two bands at same time. When I tried to add new one it removed my first one somehow

no, it does not show time, messages nor apps. What it does is step count, sleep tracking and notifications. It is fairly accurate especialy for sleep tracking

Think he was asking if you can use with another device ?

Yes, I was My smartwatch doesn't do the health shizzle, I wanted to know if I could use this at the same time.
The step counter is so off. I lost mine and got a fitbit instead and my step count almost doubled. So avoid if buying it for thus feature. Otherwise it was a good watch

Your step count doubled using the fitbit?
puddlejumper1 to MSK.

Yes was only showing 3000-5000 steps each day on my mi band 2 the fitbit shows 5000 -10000 a day average so the mi band definitely didn't count step accurately. I tested it once going up and down stairs counting my steps and it didn't give the correct amount of steps. But you get what you pay for with the mi bands. I was lucky and got the fitbit as a birthday gift after losing the mi band.

I was just wondering if you got a duff one. I log 15,000 steps a day on mine quite often. I'd be stunned if it were really 30k! But I've never had a fitbit to compare it to.

He said 3k not 30k I had a mi band 1 on one hand and my wife had a gen 2 Fitbit and on a day out they were within 140 of each other

He said his step count doubled moving from mi band to fitbit. I meant if my count doubled I'd be on 30k a day. Your reading sounds more like a the difference I would expect.

Does this have the ability in the app to show a map of where you walked/ran? If not, anyone know of any wristbands that can do this?

The apps can show you where you've walked

I think my Mi Band 2 is lost in transit from China, as I've had later orders delivered.

Had mine about 12 months. Very cheap and fairly cheerful. I use mine mainly for notifications and the alarm so not fussed on the accuracy of the step counter. If you get this, also worth getting Mi Band Tools as it allows more configuration of alarms etc. Only negative is that the battery is starting to lose charge and now only lasts about 20 days.

Mine is about 18 months old and there's still (hold on.... just checking) 31% left in the battery and it was last charged 27 days ago. And I use it to buzz me for notifications and alarms. I think you can be lucky/unlucky with the battery life of these ones as a friend of mine had one and within 6 months she was charging it every fortnight.
