Ratings and reviews

Forced to switch from Zepp Life to Mi Fitness when I upgraded my Mi Band 5 (which is still great aside from a dying battery) to a Band 9. It's a shame. There are some oversights that I can live with: You CAN'T log weight in pounds, or distance in miles; the sleep graph sucks. But the major problem is a severe background battery drain that appears after a few weeks of use. The only fix is to reinstall the app and configure it all again. I've missed alarms b/c this app drained my phone overnight.

I had to switch over to this app from Zepp life, after upgrading my Mom band to a newer model. Compared to the older app, this one has several "holes" that's hard to understand. Some sports (like inline skating) do not record GPS data like distance and speed. Customization od data display widgets is gone...etc. I was hoping that updates would take care of these infancy problems, but over a year later and nothing got fixeThe app itself is not bad, but it is a definite stepdown from its precursor.

I have had the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 for years, and it's been pretty okay, but it's trying to be 7,000 different things that it doesn't need to be. Same for their app. This device, and this accompanying app, are simple, to the point, and easy to use. If you're looking to have HAL 9000 to wear on your wrist and control on your phone, don't get this. But if you're looking for a fitness and time focused watch with simple phone integration, this gets my thumbs up.
