Fitbit Inspire 2 vs Xiaomi Mi Band 6

95 inch display, the Mi Band 5 which had a 1.1 inch display and now that 1.56 inch display on the Mi Band 6 you can really see that it's quite a bit b...

In addition, the Inspire 2 boasts all the fitness features of its predecessor, including SmartTrack automatic exercise recognition for walking, running, aerobic and elliptical workouts, outdoor cycling, sports like basketball, and swimming. It also lets you set exercise goals for metrics like calories, distance, or duration so that the tracker alerts you whenever you reach it. 

However, as it stands, I would not recommend it. If you want something similar to the Mi Band 6, the Honor Band 6 is likely a much better option. I'd ...

App - The calories burned aren't accurate I think according to the steps taken. Supposedly you burn 40 calories per 1000 steps I think, or at least around that much and the fitbit app would say something like 7000 steps = 2000 calories burned. If you want accurate calorie burn count I would connect the fitbit app to the fitnesspal app. The fitnesspal app gives a more accurate calories burned plus you can log your food as well and has more food options and calorie accuracy than the fitbit app Device - I got the black one and it's pretty nice and discreet on my wrist

I bought this because it is smaller than many other activity bands and less obtrusive on my wrist. There really isn't much to choose from these days. It seems to work ok- it is counting steps and some exercise. I am finding the calorie/activity part of the app helpful

I personally don't need all the features of a smart watch, so I just got a mi band. $50, 10 days of batter life, and notifications are pushed to my watch.

I'm a design engineer and there is not enough plating on the charging contacts and the base material below easily corrodes forcing users to have to replace the unit. THIS IS THE 3RD REPLACEMENT I've bought.

I'm over the 'smartwatch' phase and will revert to a classic analogue watch but still want a vibrating alarm and notifications. I don't care for health tracking or step counters.

The ankle strap was going to solve another issue for me: I'm a stomach sleeper. And I sleep with my arms folded and tucked under my pillow. I know it's the worst way to sleep (bad for back, breasts and gut health) - but I've not been able to break the habit (even tried those special pajamas but I'd just take them off in my sleep). Like most people - I do a moderate amount of shifting or turning my head in my sleep

Each one has been a worthwhile upgrade for various reasons. My primary uses of the Band is as more of a smart watch than a health tracker. I use it for telling the time (obviously), receiving notifications (can't remember the last time I've had my phone off of silent), sleep tracking, and setting timers. I couldn't care less about step tracking, heart rate, O2, etc

Battery life is excellent as mine went a week and still had about half the charge. I've noticed my phone battery was draining significantly quicker due to the Bluetooth usage, so I prefer to have the unit gather data for a day, using a one-time per day sync in the morning. This would however, effect it's notification options from your phone. I sacrificed these functions and simply closed the phone app and turn off Bluetooth on my phone except to sync the unit

I've had previous versions of the Mi band and this one is just as good. It's a bit worse in battery life, but I have all the features turned on. As with previous models, if you turn off some of the more constant features you get better battery life. As a casual tracker and not someone dedicated to counting my steps each and every day - it's great

Now the first thing I want to do is just give you guys a physical tour of this device. It's pretty simple and elegant, so this should be a fairly shor...

Personally, my two cents is I prefer smartbands over smartwatches, and these days I consider it to be a basic accessory for my phone like having BT earbuds. Smartbands are more minimalist design/feel on my wrist for me, and pretty adorable for starters. I don't want, or need an expensive, or bulky device on my wrist. Just an affordable, and slim wearable band like the Mi Band 6 that I can casually wear 24/7 (save for charging, cleaning, showers, etc

**1-The features:** I'm not sure how to describe how great the features on this watch are, It feels like having a phone in your watch, for example I use Spotify in the gym using the watch and not my phone which makes things easier for me, be that as it may you the notifications feature is my favorite, me as a person I don't like touching my phone much as it distracts me a lot and the watch allows me to reply to people using quick responses, voice messages and typing and etc. It used to take ages for me to reply to people as I don't use my phone much but now I reply whenever I want, I use shazam a lot as I go work and study in coffee shops and I like exploring new music. Google keeps, Google pay, Google maps, Outlook and etc. is a plus that makes you more productive, if you have galaxy buds you'll be flabbergasted how amazing is the compatibility between your phone, buds and the watch is!!

However, I haven’t been able to get text notifications no matter what I try for the last month and the call notifications are spotty. I get notifications for emails like I should which makes it even more frustrating as this isn’t what I originally NEEDED. This is incredibly disappointing considering these were 2 of my biggest wants in a smart watch. I enjoy the watch for the price but if you’re wanting a watch with notifications this isn’t it

But I am glad I did not pay full price for it. I used the Mother's Day sale and my Best Buy points to get it for about half price.

Leave the tech behind when sleeping, please. That being said, is the Mi Smart Band 6 worth your quid? Yes. If you're budget-conscious but still want a...

Online help told me to reset it and that a background firmware update was the cause. They variably said this would take between 12-72 hours to resolve depending on who I was talking to.

e., the first two steps worked, meaning a bluetooth connection was established. I tried all obvious trouble shooting. And, of course, you need to pair it to update the firmware, as there were updates to be had
