Mi Band 3

dulpit · 27-06-2018 8:01pm #1

Hey all,

I know it's not technically released on this side of the globe, but just wondering if anybody has picked up a Mi Band 3? Seems like it's going to be very good value (as per usual I suppose) - struggling to find somewhere to buy one though.

What do people recommend as a good option to purchase one of these?

Just received this today, haven't had a chance to mess around with it yet. Has anyone else got one?

I haven't got one but plan to order one.

Let us know what you think when you've had some time to play around with it.

Is that the international/English language one or is that released yet?

Any real difference in the international Vs Chinese version?
See Amazon have these for £34 but it's the Chinese version.

I got one free with my Mi A2 (Ali Express seller)

Haven't even opened it yet tbh

They were on Gearbest for just over 25 quid the other day, max 2 per customer.

How are people finding this? Is it accurate? Thinking about buying one

There's a new version coming with NFC.
Has anyone ordered one yet?
Wondering how the NFC will work for say a LeapCard

Just ordered one on Gearbest. Had the Mi Band 2 and found it excellent for the price. Great for travelling and festivals and the likes. (as long as you don't lose it like I did). I was tempted to get the Amazfit Bip but the Mi Band is great to have around for the €22 price on Gearbest.

Now to wait the delivery from them, probably get it by Christmas.

honor band 3 is better imo. better sleep tracking (differentiates rem sleep which mi band 3 doesn't do) which is the main feature for me. nicer looking less obtrusive band also than the bubble mi band 3 look and more secure strap. pretty much same price. stock huawei health app is also better I think. also has swim tracking which mi band doesn't have.

from what I've seen I think that the nfc will only work for mi pay in china and public transport for certain bus and metro systems in China and this was done in cooperation with the transport systems over there.

I would very much doubt that it will be use use with a leap card.
the leap card app that lets you put money on the card will only work directly with a phone that has nfc afaik.
