XIAOMI Smart Band 9 Active, Sports fitness tracker, 1.47'' TFT display, 60Hz high refresh rate, 18 Days Battery Life, sleep and health monitoring, 50 sports modes, 5ATM, iOS & Android, White

Excellent value for money. It over-estimates calories burned by around 30%, but if you take this into consideration, the heart rate tracker is good. Sleep tracking is reasonable (not perfect, but in my experience, none of them really are). Battery life is outstanding. I've been using it for 2+ days with all tracking on e.g heart, sleep, blood oxygen etc and I'm on 89%. I've now turned off all the tracking elements because I only want this to buzz on my wrist and notify me of messages/calls, so I'm expecting I'll get 15+ days of battery life. I suspect if you kept all the tracking features on, you'd get 4-6 days.

In a couple of days, it will be a month since I bought this, EXCELLENT, when I want to count my steps when walking, you can record your jog, walk or whatever sport you are doing, I mainly use it for walking, it records your heart beat, pace, steps, so good, doesn't do blood pressure which is unfortunate. Perfect for someone who can't afford a fitbit or doesn't want to spend so much, a simple 20 quid and the battery life is excellent. It has many features such as a torch light, find my phone, measures stress and sleep patterns, i read the reviews on amazon before buying and I read the bad ones as well, I don't know what they were doing with their smart bands but it is excellent, I don't know about waterproof though, it says it is but I don't want to risk anything

This is a really good fitness tracker for the price. It has made me workout a lot smarter, because you can see exactly how many calories you are burning, steps taken, how active you really are. My favourite feature is the sleep tracker. It gives detailed analysis of your sleep quality. Battery life is excellent, I wear it constantly and only need to charge it once a week. If you are serious about your health and fitness this is a great tool which will give you so much data to make good decisions. My only gripe is the pedometer is not the most accurate as it tends to drop off sometimes, so if you want a completely accurate step count, a traditional pedometer would be better. This is the only negative thing I can say about it.

The piece on the band has fallen off when I was doing running and so I can’t use it anymore

This is not too bad for the price. I have a fitbit Sense and have happily used fitbit for over 10 years but I wanted to be able to set movement reminders with more flexibility. This was recommended and for the price, I thought I'd give it a try. The good points are that it has tons of features, a long battery life, it is really easy to set up, it is light and fairly comfortable. I did not react to the strap either which I have done with other straps. The steps seemed fairly accurate too only being 200 steps different to the fitbit (yes I wore them together to check!) with over 13000 steps done that day. However, the sleep showed that I had slept for 2 hours more than the fitbit (which tends to give me more sleep anyway maybe because I have a low hr and am not a fidgeter!), the screen was really hard to see outdoors but I did not try different watch faces so maybe that might have helped, I did not like how the strap fastens which is the same as other straps but this one was really stiff and I struggled to fasten it and finally the movement reminder - the reason I bought it -- -was telling me to stand up and move around, when I was standing up and moving around! As I said, for the price, this is good especially when you consider that the watch I am comparing it to is probably one of best on the market (at least it was) and is way more expensive. I only tested it for around 6 hours as I returned it once I realised the movement reminder did not do what I wanted it to (and Amazon's customer service, as always, were great and refunded me once the watch was returned) so some of the inconsistencies may have evened out over time. For the price, I'd say, if you don't have anything else (or you have a child that wants a tracker watch) this is worth a go.

I've been using this band for months now. Great price for what it does. My phone is Xiaomi and they pair instantly via bluetooth via the Mi fitness app. The battery lasts ages, sometimes over 10 days as long as I don't have the 'raise to wake' setting on. This seems to just drain my battery. I had to replace my last band 9 as I ran over it in the car, it was crushed but still working!

I wear real watches and just wanted a simple health tracker to wear on my other wrist. I'm not to bothered about all singing smart watches that are obsolete within a couple of years so this fits the bill perfectly. I had an older model a few years ago and these newer ones have a much better interface and a bigger screen you can actually read. Took 5 minutes to setup after downloading the Mi fitness app. I thought the steps were a bit off but they are actually quite accurate. Construction is quite solid and the watch looks like it could take abuse. Battery life seems good and I'm still only down to 60% after 3 days. I'm so impressed I bought the wife one after she had a negative experience with a more expensive Huawei band 9. Update. I had to return the wife's as she couldn't get on with the strap. It kept coming undone in her active job. I do wish more of these bands had a buckle fitting.

I’ve been using this Xiaomi watch for a while now, and I’m really impressed with how long the battery lasts — I can easily go several days without charging, which is a big plus compared to some other smartwatches. The setup and settings are straightforward, nothing complicated, and it does exactly what I need it to do. I mainly use it to track my runs and monitor my heart rate, and it handles both tasks reliably. It’s not packed with all the flashy features of an Apple Watch, but honestly, if you just want something simple, accurate, and easy to use, this is more than enough. Solid value for the price.
