[Review] Xiaomi MiBand 1S - GearBest Discount Code

When Xiaomi presented the MiBand a year ago, all surprised by the concentration of simplicity, functionality, quality at a stunning price. In short, all the qualities on which the Chinese house has always strongly pointed.

Exactly from that moment the wait for his successor began accompanied by the inevitable question: but how beautiful will the next MiBand ever be? How many new features await us?

Here, perhaps we have poured too many expectations on this product which, precisely because of its simplicity, is based on success. Now we finally have his successor e we can confirm that it was probably not possible to improve the MiBand without compromising.

Xiaomi Mi-band-1S-3

Starting from what we already know, or from the functions inherited by MiBand 1, we have the function pedometer e calorie counter which, thanks also to the higher maturity of MiFit software, is really accurate and easily consulted.

Sleep monitoring is in this new version, even more precise, as it is supported by a heartbeat reader even during sleep (function can be disabled).

We find the inevitable now notification notifications (max 3 on the MiFit app) and it smart phone unlock when the bracelet is nearby.

We come to the great news of this version, the heartbeat reader. Monitoring is carried out using an optical sensor located at the bottom of the capsule and to ensure a minimum of accuracy, this must be well adherent to the skin. Just this understandable foresight makes the most of measurements (eg running) poco need, with too many mood swings between close measurements.

It is right, however, to point out that it makes no sense to compare a device from 25 € with medical instruments and it is therefore understandable that "amateur" results are obtained. This certainly does not diminish the good of the previous version.

The measurements can be made "manually" via the menu item or by starting a running session in which, in addition to the count of steps / distances, a constant control of the heartbeat is carried out. Actually keeping the sensor on all the time would have had a dramatic impact on the battery.

Concluding, the object in question is the natural evolution of the previous version to which it was not possible to add functions without distorting its nature since even a small OLEAD display would have affected the battery, cost and size. Let's take it as it is: the good and old MiBand with an extra "play".

Note: At the time of writing, there is no update to the MiFit app you see in the video on the app store. You can download it from here https://mega.nz/#!BBc3mbIJ
