@@abharozairabdullah3158 hello, I decided not to buy from Xiaomi at all. If you’re ok with spending a bit more money, I’d suggest the HUAWEI GT4. Pretty accurate fitness data, plus the battery life is amazing.
Now i want too see your xiaomi watch 2 review...and then decide wich on i buy. I really like to go for wear os..but the smart band 8 pro looks amazing.
Yes, that is a problem. I tested from miband 4,5,6,7 and no band does this. I have 9 now but I don't believe it will change. Huawei handles it perfectly. I have it and it counts my daily sleep.
Had the previous smart band 7 pro. The GPS was all over the place( it was measuring distance while I was not moving) and the heart rate sensor was also bad. After a few months of use I went for a swim in the sea and the band just died. I didn't even try to use the warranty. After that I went and bought proper sports watch. I know that it's cheap, but I would suggest saving some money for a proper watch(Garmin, Coros etc).
The frame is not made of metal. It's made of high-strength fiber polymer + NCVM. It believe it's made of some kind of durable plastic with a metal coating. This reduces the device's weight, which proves advantageous during activities like running and other cardio workouts.
Mine detect driving as cycling. And auto-detect isn't that great because when I stop exercising and forget to stop, it doesn't stop by itself unlike my Huawei Band and Galaxy Watch
I've seen S1 sport not bad but what'd have made it great was to be able to connect a HR strap like Garmin are able to.. Xiaomi have a way to got on the smart watches which are just a digital watch with a few general features imo 🤷♂️ tho I do like the barometer which is handy ☝️
Turns out this doesn't have 24/7 (resting) HR monitoring so you have to manually go in the HR section which is very slow and jumpy compared to their other bands or wait the 1 minute interval which is just too slow and fails to measure significantly more so you'll often get readings that are 20-60 minutes late instead of every minute And no after sales service so returning it is a pain in the ass (if you even can)
You can't. They decided to remove date and time settings for no reason so you can only get american date format. They could easily fix it with a software update if they could be bothered or enough people complain but so far no luck. Its the same on the non-pro version. I will switch to a different brand next time
Sounds like not from this review and others - i had the same question. The heart rate seems less reliable with the smart band 8 compared to pretty much any Garmin and less reliable even than the Xiaomi band 9.
Lovely !! I love Sabu Dana vada. Was in Pune recently..wish I knew abt shanivar oeth vadas earlier .. next time for sure will visit. Btw what was the red chutney ?
I was looking for a Basic functions one. Which it can be used right after open box. One that can choose between link to smartphone or not, You still can use it .
The Redmi watch 4 is better it costs 20 pounds more but it is worth it can lasts 20 days (10 with AOD ) , it has the new XIAOMI HYPER OS, a bigger display , etc ...
It only controls the music on your phone. There is no onboard storage to upload music which means you cannot connect it to any earphones, there's no point.
Hmmmmmmmm... Brought the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 pro... To find out they removed NFC.. that's a deal breaker.. Now sits in the box. Now I found out.. No nfc again an Alexa don't work on this version but it works on mine... So cheaper.. But no nfc an no Alexa is a deal breaker.. So I got a Samsung S5 Pro Smart Watch 45mm instead..
Nope. Cheaper watches/bands still doesn't have NFC, because they need some reason for you to buy more expensive ones. Pretty much like Apple and their basic (900€) iPhone 15 with 60hz display, when there are 150€ phones with high refresh displays. Like I can buy a phone with NFC for the same price as a cheaper NFC watches :D
Maybe someone knows how to see kilometers walf for day on the clock? Have a same problem o mi band 7, have spend a lot of time find watch face with km. But on mi band 8 pro cant find not original face. Idiot decision by xiaomi.
Looks like you had the strap the wrong way round. Swap them over and it will be really easy to put on.
Looks great value, with battery performance similar to my Huawei GT2
I love mine, been using it since November. I've been using Xiaomi bands since way back to Band 3
How do you find the fitness tracking? My only hindrance to buying the watch is whether fitness metrics are accurate

you sould buy the redmi watch 4 but the only downside it only has the new hyper os not the wear os
Literally was waiting for this...
I have the CN version which is pretty ok but my AOD is still in chinese
هل انحلت المشكلة ؟
لأنني افكر بشراء النسخة الصينية لأنها بنصف سعر العالمية
No mate still the watch faces and aod are in chinese
@@sarasikumari8880 شكراً لردك ❤️
سوف أخذ النسخة العالمية بسبب هذه المشكلة.
how is the touch screen when wet from swimming? still responsive?
anyone know yet?
Thanks for the review Spurt, will be purchasing this!
Galaxy Fit3 review please
NFC? Didnt hear ANY mention if it has it and IF it does, is it WePay etc or can we use Western payments systems
no NFC
I like the Xiaomi series but they don't track sleep in the day time. They don't count that as sleep or even nap. Only niight times are for sleeping :)
Yes, that is a problem. I tested from miband 4,5,6,7 and no band does this. I have 9 now but I don't believe it will change. Huawei handles it perfectly. I have it and it counts my daily sleep.
@@DarkHulk I would disagree here, as my mi band 5 shows in the zepp life app when I slept during the day as nap.
hlo & lots love from amritsar india, ur reviews are always v helpful,keep doing grt job

What about the screen protection, not too turn on accidentally when in water? Is there any lock button?
Hi tech spurt, u don’t mind making a video review on the Galaxy Fit 3?
WOW £69 is this really any good tho for that money seems to good to be true!! Great review tho fella 👌🏻👍🏻
Compare to galaxy fit3 which one is betr?
The galaxy, this shit does not measure correctly at all
@gameivo its not shit, it's a smartwatch

hope u review the Xiaomi watch 2
Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro or CMF Watch Pro 2? I'm deciding between these two now
Go for smart band as cmf watch is full of bugs and also it dosent correctly measure fitness activities or heart rate e.t.c
I would love to see an Amazfit Active review :)
Haylou rs4 plus or xiaomi smart band 8 Pro ?
You did walk through walls and buildings after a stroll to the local pub
How do you change the date format? The US date format isn't much good in the EU/UK.
You can't. They decided to remove date and time settings for no reason so you can only get american date format. They could easily fix it with a software update if they could be bothered or enough people complain but so far no luck. Its the same on the non-pro version.

It looks nice, im still using the 7 pro but alexa does not worm
Would you choose this or the galaxy fit 3?
please review samsung fit 3
Can I control the music when is some sport mode on or when I'm using stopwatch?
yes you can, swipe to the left from any screen and you get there
Hey, when you gonna review samsung galaxy fit3? If at all you gonna do.
whats a diffrence bettwen xiaomi 3 and smart band 8 pro
how is this compared to redmi watch 4
I have the 8 active. Think it's worth the upgrade?
Please tell me if this heart rate is on par with Garmin?
Sounds like not from this review and others - i had the same question. The heart rate seems less reliable with the smart band 8 compared to pretty much any Garmin and less reliable even than the Xiaomi band 9.
Lovely !! I love Sabu Dana vada. Was in Pune recently..wish I knew abt shanivar oeth vadas earlier .. next time for sure will visit. Btw what was the red chutney ?
Are there Always on Display watch face with seconds?
I have one since October, accuracy of sensors is questionable. Other than that, its smooth and lasts a week easily with AOD
Were you able to connect to GNSS/GPS without your phone nearby? Mine doesn't lock even in open areas
Does it show the current time when timer or countdown are on?
what is your opinion between band 8 pro and Xiaomi Redmi Watch 3 ?
I bought this combination , Redmi watch 3 for my wife and Band 8 Pro for me. I like Redmi watch 3 because of Bluetooth phone calls which 8 Pro doesn't
It seems very similar to galaxy fit 3… Can you review it too?
Two differences between the two: Galaxy fit doesn't have a built in GPS ( bummer ) and worse battery life.
Heart rate measurement accuracy? Is it because the wrist is not compatible? Be reasonable, if something is accurate it would, not be that cheap.
Does it broadcast hr in strava?
No it doesn't my friend. No apps on there
Got one of these. The heart rate tracking and sleep is not very accurate. It will do the basics but that's about it.
does it have music control with apps like Spotify?
I was looking for a Basic functions one. Which it can be used right after open box. One that can choose between link to smartphone or not, You still can use it .
i have apple watch series 3 and miband 8 pro they seem to be pretty precise with each other in heart rate.
This or the redmi watch 4 ?...tried redmi watch 4 and its huge..i have a tiny wrist
I was going from home today to buy Galaxy Fit 3 ,but I decided to pay little more and buy galaxy watch 6 used one instead just double the price 😅
Got mine free with my Xiaomi 14. Decent smart watch
The Redmi watch 4 is better it costs 20 pounds more but it is worth it can lasts 20 days (10 with AOD ) , it has the new XIAOMI HYPER OS, a bigger display , etc ...
does that run on wearos?
would have if only watch 4 had auto brightness
@@Dark.Syndicate sry but it doesnt run wear os
@@Penaming yes it has auto brightness
There's also the Tartaglia version of this watch
if only it could play music, it would be the answer to all searching. Now I still need to bring my phone when I go out running.
Samsung Fit 3 please
Can you quick reply to messages from it? Literally the only reason Ive stuck with huawei band 8.
can use NFC payment?
i own a redmi watch 3. Which is better to them
Nice video
What size is your wrist for reference?
Can this be connected and synced with strava?
yes, through the app
A bloody pint of beer for ya if you review the Galaxy fit 3 🍺
Anyone know ,is it workable with iPhone ?
I cant seem to download watch faces, it kept saying not enough memory.. can somebody help 🥺
Delete some
@@kaisern6333 thank you so much! it finally worked 🥺 I was able to download 15 watch faces before now its down to 11 before it allows me to DL
Is band 8 pro have NFC
Look good.
Ty
kindly review redmi watch 4 🙂
?@Moonyofficialyoutube1004
dude, shut up plz. u r making no sense.@Moonyofficialyoutube1004
does this have custom faces?
nope
does it have a function to add a credit card?
No
How many watchfaces can you store on the device? My older mi smartband has only space for 3. 😂
Does it have gps? Microphone?
Yes GNSS (more accurate than GPS as it uses Russian and Chinese satellites as well as American GPS ones)
Does it notify for any incoming calls?
Is there NFC on this? Please reply
Did a quick search for u google says theres nfc support for mastercard and visa
This have google pay?
No
In the global version no bloody NFC?! 🤬😱
OnePlus watch 2 is the way to go!!!
Can it connect to earphones?
It only controls the music on your phone. There is no onboard storage to upload music which means you cannot connect it to any earphones, there's no point.
wow you are really strapped
Is there NFC?
global version = NO
Hmmmmmmmm... Brought the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 pro... To find out they removed NFC.. that's a deal breaker.. Now sits in the box. Now I found out.. No nfc again an Alexa don't work on this version but it works on mine... So cheaper.. But no nfc an no Alexa is a deal breaker.. So I got a Samsung S5 Pro Smart Watch 45mm instead..
So you're comparing a £60 smart watch to a £300 one?
Casually throwing some zesty lines out in the review haha
clicked for the persona thumbnail, stayed for the review 🫡
Dont have nfc?

I've just taken up juggling , does it track juggling with 3 balls
Will it work on iPhone?
Yeah
Galaxy fit 3
any GPS on this?

I don't know what should I buy
Mi watch 4

Samsung fit 3
@Moonyofficialyoutube1004 yes, But I don't know what to pick
Haven't had any rashes or weeping sores.... On your wrist that is
I saw you getting cream for other rashes and weeping 😅
£54 if you buy now in UK, much cheaper than bloody euro's, lol Or are you just being politically correct now Chris, lol 🙂
Don't be mad at euro because y'all lost a lot. 😂
We didn't loose out, saved us millions, lol@@EarthTraveler3087
Well I got mine for 49.99 on Xiaomi UK website with a voucher that was on there own website
He’s in Spain
Huawei watch fit is way better, specially the 2nd
it's like the samsung fit 3 on steroids
