I had the chance to touch it and wear it on my wrist for a few minutes, this Xiaomi Band 8 Pro is simply magnificent.
I also saw the new Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 which I don't like...at all!

    Got mine from AmazonDE for 59, I receive it in less than a week. I was relcutant too with Fit3 from Samsung but I think this one could be better.

    The grey colour difference on the silicone piece for holding the strap bother me in grey. Purchased it in black then ✌

      Adam, 03 Mar 2024Test heart rate accuracy against chest strap. There is a popular channel on youtube he does this will many watches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRfoWHPQG5c&t=156s

      I love my band 8 but unfortunately recent Mi Bands haven't been the most accurate in HR and Sleep

        I think this looks much more enticing than your average smartwatch.

              Without NFC it is dead on arrival.

                Sounds interesting

                  Support nfc payment on this thing ?

                    Very curious to see how customizable this device is, if it offer any external program to make your own watchfaces like the Samsung Watchface Studio or Huawei's Theme editor that they have for their smartwatches.

                    Sadly the Samsung Galaxy Fit3 offers no such support for personalization and you're stuck with the 100 generic look-a-like watchfaces within the app , which is shameful. Hoping that's not the case with this device as well, as customization / personalization of one's device is essential .

                      Whatdoyoumean, 03 Mar 2024"The band is well-built. It's made of high-streng... moreI think they meant "Band" as in the name.
                      But definitely pointing towards the shiny body, and not the strap, if that makes sense.

                        "The band is well-built. It's made of high-strength fiber polymer but you'd be forgiven for mistaking it for metal as it has what's called a non-conductive vacuum metalization coating to make it look like metal.". Did you mean "case" instead of "band"?

                          It comes in time, actually I plan to buy either this or Galaxy Fit3 from Samsung.

                          Have you guys any idea, and which is your recommendations please?

                            cool, one day maybe I can buy something like this... I just ordered a cheap Redmi TWS and headphones for my phone which still supports 3.5mm jack.

                              Smart band has become more and more similar to an actual smartwatch size lol 😆
