XIAOMI Smart Band 8 (Global Version)

July will mark 1 year since owning this watch and I absolutely love it. Heart rate tracker is incredibly accurate and comes in clutch especially during workouts. The step count, sleep tracker, battery life are the best and my most used features. As a nurse I also appreciate the built in timer and the water resistance! Apps can also be sorted for your convenience through the Mi Fitness app instead of having to scroll and find what you’re looking for. I will be buying a different band that is more secure as the only issue I’ve had with this watch thus far is the standard black band getting caught and coming undone on things. It just pops loose and I don’t like that. However, overall an excellent watch!

Hace dos años que lo compre, recientemente compre el 9, el reloj hace todo lo que describe, la función mas util en mi caso fue el monitoreo de sueño, el diseño es bastante elegante y las terminaciones se ven de calidad, puedes medir el ritmo cardiaco, veras tus mensajes de Whatsapp, correo, entre otras apps, cambiar la musica que estes escuchando en tu teléfono, tiene diferentes modos para llevar tus rutinas de ejercicio, en definitiva un excelente reloj inteligente, a un excelente precio

This serves the purpose I need, which is a basic watch (with alarm, timer, etc.) and step counter/exercise monitor. I mainly use it to measure the quality of my workouts. It has a lot of functions that not everyone might use, but you can easily adjust the settings to toggle functions on/off. Battery life is great, at around two weeks per charge (but I'm sure that would be greatly diminished by having location turned on). So far, I've had no issues with it syncing to the Mi Fitness app.

This watch started to malfunction after about two weeks. I would say even before two weeks the battery life would be used up in a day. Then it would start to shut off and turn on, on its own. The screen would behave erratically. I’d go to sleep with a full charge and wake up with 20%. Since I had a Xiaomi band prior to this one that was reliable enough, after a couple days I threw the box away. After 1.5 months the watch completely died. It wouldn’t charge, and there’s no manual reset button. At this point, I couldn’t return it to Amazon because the deadline had passed. I contacted Xiaomi support team and they were completely unhelpful. I wasn’t able to give them the serial number since it isn’t printed on the watch itself and it’s only on the box which again I had thrown away because I didn’t anticipate this watch malfunctioning so quickly. And of course, since the watch is dead, I couldn’t connect it to my mobile app anymore to get product details. Overall, just super displeased.

great watch.... does more than the iPhone watches

An alright band for the price, gets the job done, but mine crapped out after barely a year because I wore it while floating around in the shallow end of the pool (it is NOT actually water-resistant, make sure to take it off if you go swimming regardless of how deep you go/how vigorously you swim). The band itself is super cheap and broke after a few months, but replacing it is easy enough. Big design flaw is that if you set a timer, you can't swipe back and use the other features without turning off the timer first, that's annoying. Other than that it's functional, I like the background/widget customization. All in all it's accurate enough for my needs, but the longevity of this thing is pitiful. $50+ for something that isn't even gonna hold up to a year of light-moderate wear is crazy, I've had cheaper devices that stood up to way more punishment than this thing (and which never required me to spring for replacement parts). Only get this if it's on sale for like $30 or below, as a disposable smart watch it's pretty solid.

I love this watch, I’ve been wearing it since September 2024 with no issues. I charge it for like 30 minutes and wear it for 2 weeks at best. It’s small and cute, and I got some bands so it’s not overly bulky with my more formal attire. I never got a screen protector but it’s still very scratch free. I don’t ever take it off, the screen is sensitive so with water contact, it will touch on its own, totally fine. I wish it was more compatible with my iPhone fitness/health app but I guess this is what I get for the price I paid. Now, 6 months later and this is my screen. No life, left is in rice, and just morning. This randomly happened this weekend. It lasted a few minutes then the screen came back, weird. Then it happened again and just never left. I love the brand, and the cost especially so I am thinking to buy a bigger and later model to replace this since I cannot return but I am bummed out. 6 months is such a short time.

Very easy to set up and use. Connecting and syncing to the app was quick and easy. The app is amazing and there are a lot of customization options. Monitors heart rate, workouts, steps etc. Also supports camera control from the watch. Takes 2 hours to fully charge and lasts for 2 weeks. Amazing product for the price. Very happy with the purchase and would recommend it over Fitbit or other similar expensive smart bands.

Franchement great product for the price. Ça fait tour ça qu'il doit faire. Je l'utilise pour faire de la natation en piscine, courir en salle et faire des étirements dynamiques. Attention par fois elle ne registre pas là longueur en nage, mais ça dépend de la nage mais je fais de la natation artistique et parfois nos longueurs sont avec des mouvements "atypique" vis à vis la natation normale. Facil à setup et la batterie dure 6 -7 jours si tu l'utilise en mode "relax", cad (avec mon setup actuel) - notifications uniquement pour des appelles et message - monitorer mon sommeil (sans erm) - faire du sport (4-5 fois par semaines)

Llegaron muy bien en sus cajitas y al introducir el código de Xiaomi confirmamos que era original. El reloj es un aparato que tiene muchas funciones muy útiles y cuenta con algunas mejoras que el modelo anterior. - A diferencia del 7 la correa no es una sola pieza, sino son dos que se atoran con un mecanismo de ganchito. Si tienes un modelo anterior no vas a poder reutilizar las correas. - La pantalla tiene un buen tamaño (casi el mismo tamaño que el 7). - Incluye más opciones de deporte que el 7, y en general tiene un buen desempeño (al menos en natación que es mi caso). - La aplicación (Mi Fitness) tiene las mismas funcionalidades que Zepp Life y los datos se pueden exportar fácilmente al hacer una cuenta, en términos generales no noto diferencias significativas entre una y otra. - Se puede personalizar fácilmente el fondo, los widgets y el menú. - Automáticamente al sincronizarla la pulsera se pone en el idioma que tengas en tu teléfono. En conclusión me parece un excelente producto por un precio razonable. Si estás pensando en regalarla o es la primera vez que vas a comprar una, definitivamente recomiendo. Si eres usuario de las MiBand y quieres renovarte la recomiendo si tienes de la 6 para atrás, el salto de la 7 a la 8 no siento que sea tan grande y creo que en todo caso valdría la pena esperar el siguiente modelo.

Let’s make it clear: This Xiaomi band 8 is by no means a smartwatch that would compare to an Apple Watch or comparable model. However, it is probably the best fitness tracker my wife and I have had in the last 3-4 years since we started wearing trackers (we probably had 2 or 3 before this one). We both still wear “regular” watches on the left wrist, mine is even mechanical, so the tracker is not primarily to display the time (except at night), but to show us how many steps we make day after day. A good motivation to reach the famous 10’000 steps/day. I also use regularly the chronometer, timer, message display, heart rate display, sleep analysis and a few more. And because of its simplicity, it doesn’t use much battery and it lasts at least 8-9 days before it needs a recharge. All this for a very decent price, and a large choice of spare bands (we both replaced the original plastic band by a metallic one).

I get these Xiaomi smartwatches for my kids, they are solid (they resits a 5yo) and tend to be discreet. They pair with my phone via Bluetooth very easily and you can manage multiple aspect of the watch and its features through the app. They seem accurate for sleep and activity that's the main feature we use. Overall value for money!
