      No surprises here. Xiaomi's products have quality and true price that nobody else can match.

        Is there REALLY a market for wearables?
        Or just a novelty case? You know, curiosity based on cheap prices.

          Does anyone really use cellular data on a smartwatch? Why would I waste my mobile data streaming music (the only reason you'd EVER need cellular data in a smartwatch), when you could just download it to your watch directly? My Gear S2 doesn't have LTE connectivity, and I don't need it!!!

              “Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.”

                Well, to be fair, they're comparing wearables, not smartwatches. I don't really get what you guys are complaining about.

                I've been using the Mi Band for a few months now and it's nearly the perfect wearable for me. I get to gauge how much exercise I got from the step counter and I can keep my phone on mute while not missing calls. It also lasts ages on a single charge (almost a month), which is fantastic. All of this in a (imo) goodlooking package at a super cheap price is just great.

                Only way this could be better is with a screen with better sunlight legibility, a more watchlike design and some way to control music playback.

                  $15.00 fitness trackers and $400.00 smart watches. Yeah, they’re absolutely comparable for comparison. LOL.

                    I always get a kick when those analyst throw together step counters with actual smartwatches. The Xiaomi step counter starts at $15.
