I don't think it is much of an upgrade from the band 6. Much like the difference between the 4 and 5. I'm gonna wait to the mi band 7 pro that's been announced looks interesting. Please review Chris!
I own both the 4 and 5 and there were huge changes .... 5 reduced battery life to about 10 days from the spectacular 60 days I was getting on the 4. Also the display is much bigger on the 5. 5 also can do pulse. So even though the battery life is abysmal on the 5 I use it instead of the 4 due to those benefits.
@@Mistdragoon I mean the screen is definitely an upgrade from the 5 if you choose either the 6 or 7. Which have the added SpO2 and added tools and customisation. If you can get a good deal on either sure.
@@juanpared322 Apologies for the late reply didn't have my notifications on. I feel it is good the heart rate sensor. However I don't have anything medical to compare with. But ive seen other videos that compare it to one seem to be quite close.
Wouldn't worry my Samsung s21 got screen burn within a fortnight so if a flagship does it i imagine these will too i specifically got a phone without amoled if its going to burn a image on screen wtf do these companies let you put it that bright. Ridiculous id never have another Samsung very unimpressed for a few reasons.
I have the band 6 and the step tracking is atrocious, walk a quarter mile and it adds 100 steps set it down and it adds 10. My family has fitbits, Apple watches, and Garmins and they all seem to agree on step amounts but mine usually has about 1/3 of what theirs say. Sleep tracking is much worse compared to my old fitbit, I’ll get an awful nights sleep and it will give me a 92 sleep score
Hey man I really have an important question, can you please tell me does this band count total calories throughout the day like while just sitting down and while sleeping ? Or does it only count calories if you manually start a workout? I really hope you reply to this or even anyone who have used the Mi band 7.
i would love a non-budget band-style smartwatch, like the Gear Fit 2 basically was. This form factor could be really nice if it were slim and curved, and not so focused on budget concerns...
@@IntendedNOCopyright its great for tracking my workout, the problem is the animation, too slow and sometimes stutters, but all in all it is worth considering the price
You don't have much choice in the UK... It's sad that there are just two big parties. Pretty weird how people are stuck in choosing one out of two parties, and not looking at the other options.
Happy with the previous two versions, 5 & 6. The sleep stuff was not able to detect my afternoon sleep. Many thirds party bands exist on eBay, etc. Many other faces also exist, with customizable elements. These are free, or low payments. Uncertain about whether to now upgrade to a full smartwatch instead.
Moving full smartwatch you will def going to have to get in habit of charging everyday. As a active s2 user, unless you want it for looks not worth it imo
Basically the Mi Band 7 is the same as the 6, total rubbish for indoor cycling or outdoor cycling. It will read low by an easy 50% constantly. Don't believe for a second this wearable can be used for serious training. I use a Wahoo Tickr HR and a Tickr Fit monitor which always show the same HR whereas the Mi Band 7 and 6 will be way out, as an example my HR can be sitting at 170bpm and the Mi Bands will be reading anywhere between 70 - 114 bpm which is totally useless as a HR tool during cycling or spin sessions. On the upside it is fairly good if you are walking around your house type of thing. The O2 sensor tends to show about 96 - 94% whereas a dedicated O2 medical sensor shows my uptake at 99% constant (elevation = 180mt). I have found the O2 sensor will not read during cycling sessions - too much movement I suspect. And before you ask I have even tried shaving my arm to ensure the sensor can get the best possible reading on either arm. Testing conducted with 1 x Mi Band 7 and 1 x Mi Band 6
I actually dislike the new design. It is far too wide and less sleek and stylish. They should have kept the slim shape and only have the pro as the wide one.
I'm still using a Mi band 5. You can get various after market bands abd I use a metal one (because me an silicone don't get on). I may get this upgrade because It adds some sensors I want. You will need to turn up the brightness because the default level is too low.
Everything about this is accurate EXCEPT the ability to make a custom display. Maybe they removed it from the US version of the app, but it's not here. Otherwise really good band and me and my other half each got one because this review
Big trouble linking with phone .... have used Xiaomi since Band 4 .... BUT REALLY UNHAPPY WITH TRYING TO LiNK TO A55 Cany=t get it to recognise my body composition scale either ....... Needless to say ... no proper advice
I was really happy with this product until I checked the distance tracking results against reality. So, so far off. You only get accurate distance tracking when jogging with a connected smart phone and, in that case, the watch itself is mostly redundant.
Hope they come with a firmware update so we can add display brightness and light as a widget or quick access. I find it counter intuitive that the list GHT function is hidden behind 3 clicks
A niceworkaround is, organise the swipe menu. Ive now set settings first, then light, then timer. The other apps i can access from left-right swipe. This is also as fast
BOA TARDE, RECEBI DIA 25/07/2022 MINHA XIAOMI SMART BAND 7 E SINCERAMENTE FIQUEI DEVEPCIONADO.

Is it possible to do your work out with the Mi Band 7 and leave your phone behind? Meaning, it will sync with the phone as soon as it is back within bluetooth range. Thanks.
At 10:37 why is it showing 2 cals burned while you haven't moved the band itself an inch? Previous bands has also that problem if that's a problem. I have no idea why it could be doing it, please if anyone know the technicality behind it, please enlighten me.
I have a galaxy watch 4 classic but i wanna use mi band 7 as my fitness tracker/swimming tracker and galaxy watch as just the smart watch. Can i use/connect both to my galaxy phone at the same time? So that i can use/wear them at same time? Mi band 7 on my right wrist like a bracelet and galaxy watch on my left wrist like a watch?
its very good....but it has some negatives....doesnt count heart beats during swimming, band shows more details than app and when you shake your hand, it counts steps
This video made me buy one and it’s videos like this that fool the public how can he say Its Smooth ? Have u seen when you get many notifications on the watch ? Gets stuck when scrolling on the notifications It’s not smooth at all compared to other watches! Very disappointed.
My mi fit band 7 gives weird heartrates.. yesterday night i woke up getting 24 pai in the Middle of the night, then i checked what my heart rate was and it said 201. Well that cant be accurate.
Mmmmmm...Pie... This is a GREAT review; lots of detail yet not boring or over my head. Covers my greatest concerns and does really sell this product as what I'm looking for. I'm an inactive senior in my 70s; I'm just not going to be doing sports or gyms anymore. Mainly, I want: -lowcost (I'm on a fixed income that so low I end up eligible for all charity benefits private and governmental) -one-time expense (don't mind buying the occasional app or widget, but don't want a rotating subscription expense) -Pedometer (to encourage movement and minimal exercise) -Sleep Quality Monitor (I suffer insomnia and an irregular circadian cycle, and I see this product covers deep sleep, light sleep and REM* phase!) -Heart Monitor (like I said, in my 70s) -Ease of use (I'm incredibly tech savvy, but anything that's user-friendly is still a plus) This product does all that, so meets the basic requirements. But then it goes further: -modifiable/removable features (simplifies use even more; so many I just don't need) -flashlight (actually a safety feature for seniors) -Find-My-Phone feature (Oh, MAN! YES!!!) -Notification settings (as you get older, being able to set alarms for things become another safety feature as well as just generally useful) -readings record and graph on smartphone (getting the most out of the money spend!) -and I see I can buy about 20 different colors of replacement bands for this product at less than $7 for all 20 (superficial, but a girl likes to have options!) Thank you, Chris, for this incredibly useful review!
I'm thinking of picking up one of these since my Ticwatch Pro 3 has decided it doesn't want to work anymore. Don't see myself going down the smartwatch route ever again.

My band(7) has stopped syncing since September. How do I turn the Bluetooth on?
I can't find anything about how Xiaomi tries to prevent burn in when AoD is turned on. Are the pixels shifting?

Same here. I wore both my band 7 and my old fitbit and the steps for the Mi band were about 70 % of the fitbit. Might send it back.

Basically the Mi Band 7 is the same as the 6, total rubbish for indoor cycling or outdoor cycling. It will read low by an easy 50% constantly.

Switced from my wearos carlyle gen 5 to a smart band 7.
The user experience on wearos is horrible and the Carlyle is shit for fitness tracking.
Thanks for showing us the app. One of the things many "reviews" miss out on is showing the app that connects with the device.
I actually dislike the new design. It is far too wide and less sleek and stylish. They should have kept the slim shape and only have the pro as the wide one.
I'm still using a Mi band 5. You can get various after market bands abd I use a metal one (because me an silicone don't get on).
I may get this upgrade because It adds some sensors I want. You will need to turn up the brightness because the default level is too low.
Miband: you should take 1000 more steps each day. Me: Best i can do is 20!
The official mi fitness app does not support exporting data to google fit. Thats a bit of a shame.
Hopefully the devs add it soon
I love my mi band 7. I quit using my fitbit as I had to be online for it to sync. With the mi band you don't and it sync a lot faster.
Great fitness band thanks for recommending we just bought from india. 👍
I've just upgraded from the 6, must say I think it's worth the upgrade, and my (branded) Band 6 bands fit too.
