Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Arctic Blue

Brilliant!! Ditched my apple for this, no need to charge the watch everyday now. Battery last for 2-3 weeks.It’s lightweight and tracks sleep, calories, steps, fitness data well. The perfect non and easy smart band.

Great gadget, very easy to use. The battery is really good, dropped only 8% in 4 days. I love the colour (I have the soft pink one). Just tried the activity function and it's quite accurate.

To be honest, I am never into fitness band or was never been because the usual smart watches are too distracting for me to use or it's like another device to beat withWith the Mi band 9, what I really liked was for someone who is a beginner to the world to smart band/watches, this does the job really wellWith basic features such as SPO2, stress, Heart rate and all the fitness activity loaded it does most of the routine things I was looking for, bonus it does have the Sleep pattern features too which is great for me as I was planning to understand my sleep patterns betterOverall with the customisations and app integration it does more than good for the price you pay. Well I cannot describe the technical aspect of the watch yet as I am still a beginner to this fitness thingI am very happy :), this is definitely light on you wrist and easily sustains for more that 3 weeks

Absolutely brilliant. I honestly bought it to keep track of my son 's sleep but he loves tracking his steps with it. Brilliant battery he wore it day and night for nearly a week before it run out of battery. Also not too big as a watch and can deactivate calls via the app ( like for school) although been off on holiday so not be tested if secondary school allow them . Easy to set up via the appMy son and I are very satisfied .

Excellent watch, simple, functional, bright, excellent value for money. Battery lasts easily two weeks. Display is bright, well visible under day light outdoor. Very happy with this purchase.

Well, it WAS a fine, probably four or five star watch until yesterday, when it simply went to sleep. A glitch, I thought, and plugged in the charger cable. It woke up, all was fine. Today, the same thing. A quick google reveals this is not a bug but a feature: the makers think it's a good idea for it to shut down above a certain temperature and then NOT WAKE UP UNLESS YOU PLUG IT INTO THE POWER CABLE. It is a hardly sizzling 20C here, so this is going to make it virtually unusable all summer. Remember to take the cable on holiday with you, regardless of the good battery life, and if it decides it's a bit toasty on a hike, you're getting out your phone to check the time. Terrible idea.

Battery life excellent, especially in battery saving mode, 30 days before needing a charge. Strap a little off. So far it fell off only the once. No issues wearing, very comfortable. It will sometimes not record step count. A reboot usually fixes that. Overall very happy with it IMHO.

The fitness tracker itself speaks for itself really - there's thousands of reviews online which praise it's budget capabilities (lovely screen, responsive, good battery life) but the strap is COMPLETELY USELESS. I literally had to reconnect it (or retrieve it from the floor!) multiple times a day, due the way the strap connects using the black plastic 'nib', and therefore incredibly easy to catch on something and pull apart. Eventually, the nib just disappeared, and I wasn't paying £10 for a replacement strap for a £30 tracker, so returned it.Makes you wonder why a strap with such an obvious design flaw was added to the NINTH generation of this model - surely they had 8 other attempts to perfect it?
