XIAOMI Intelligent Bluetooth v4.0 Sport Mi Band Fitness Bracelet - $12.99 Shipped

yeah tracking info from those Chinese importers is usually hit or miss. i bought one off ebay the other day as a gift (shipped from cali) and it seems pretty good. the manual is in chinese though.

supposedly xiaomi is working on a their v2 band that has a display.

the default mi fit app is pretty limited if you're not using a mi phone. there's a tweaked android app on the official forums that lets you do some additional stuff like notify you if you miss calls. there's an an app in the app store called mi band notifier that works also.

got this email from allbuy:

How do I know if my order was affected? Was that message I posted earlier an indicator?

I ordered a necklace holder for the Mi device so I didn't have to wear the bracelet. That came today but still no Mi device...


well the necklace holder rope is too small to fit around my head, so that's worthless. If I didn't have a nose or ears it might fit...

so did you ever get your miband and are you satisfied?
i ordered one from ebay and it was a fake! cant believe chinese copying chinese products from looks to the name. unfrickinbelievable man.
how to know if yours is a fake? scan for bt dev, the band will show up as MovNow-w79.
xiaomi official usa site sells this for $31 shipped. ouch

Still waiting for the miband. I should email allbuy i guess.

emailed allbuy about my mi band not arriving but i did receive the necklace thing even though i ordered both at the same time.

they asked me to wait 2 more weeks.

mi band came today. not sure the bracelet fits. i think it might on the very last hole but i can't get the little peg in the hole.

I will say, out of all of the fitness bands that are less expensive than a fitbit. This one is pretty good (we have 5 of them now) when used with the Android App direct from the mi.appstore instead of the playstore.

 

[pontifex]

how is the mi.appstore version better?

I am using the play store version and everything appears to be working. its a bit slow to sync imo.

Got mine, can't use it. My 2 year old phone is on 4.1, MI require 4.4 and above. My Ipad can down load the app, but does not recognize the Bluetooth 4.0 standard, same for my android tablet, Ok on the version, but BT is not compatible. Funny my LG LS970 phone see the MI via BT but can't run the app.

Might load 5.x on my phone just for the heck of it and see if this thing works.
