Had the mi band 1 and then the 1S. Awesome bands, I could get a month or more on a single charge! I now have the Amazfit Bip S, almost 3 years, and the battery lasts 50+ days. BT is off and gimmicky features also off. I only have 2 alarms on. Can't beat this battery life, almost 2 months on a single charge. Can you imagine I've only charged my watch about 15-16 times so far?

smartband have advantage than smart watch :
- it's light that you can't almost feel in your hand
- battery life is 1-2 weeks so you don''t need to charge it everyday
- it can what most smart what does for function but not all
- price is cheap below 50 us dollar
now smart watch is having more advantage too :
it have better feature like blood pressure monitoring or bmi
it can do call
it can play music to tws without a phone and gps so you don't need to bring your phone when your jog in the morning
you can install apps (chatgp assistant is the most worth it right now so far in wear OS)
design like premium real watch, but some designs have cheap looking
imo both have their own market share depending on the user requirement

It was the mi band 4 that helped me understand why I woke up in the middle of the night, low heart rate. What I use it for mostly is the notifications, since I can't hear the phone, I can feel the buzz. I can see who's calling or who's sending a message and what they want. It's allowed me to leave my phone in the other room and not worry about missing a call from my wife. It's light, water resistant and a charge last 5 days, so I never take it off. I think the thing is phookin great!

Sorry dude I wear real watches, not gimmicky electronic ones that need charging every day.
Free your mind, it's trapped in a poor way of thinking.

Nameless, 14 Apr 2023To count real steps, instead of hand movements.In theory, it may have the ability to measure the impact on your feet while running, to inform users on which surface is best suited to their goals while running.

My MiBand 4 still functioning very well and giving battery backup of approx 15 days even now. Was thinking to upgrade when its actual successors released. But this one too didn't excite me. Need to wait little more.

Band does those jobs just fine. You don't need a more expensive smartwatch for that. And battery lasts for ages.

gimmicky / garbage? dont think so, for its price it work nice, those SpO2, heartrate, steps, sleep tracker are good enough (for example, like in this vids compared to other dedicated devices : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDWw1nFvS5U)
it all depends on what user want, want more than basic-fitness tracking then get better one (or smartwatch), if not then xiaomi band most likely enough for them
afterall like every smartwatch noting, those are just wellness device and not medical-devices
