    I paid about $25 from Deal Extreme about 6 weeks ago, so looks like a good price.

    Surpsisingly good. Battery was 20% left after 53 days!

    Most useful features for me is the vibrating alarm which I use daily and vibrating phone ring. This is on top of the core functions of steps and sleep monitoring.

    Like other Xiaomi products, it is good quality at an amazing price.

        • Dasaci on 28/04/2015 - 16:06

          Also thanks for reminding me of bugmenot - hadn't used that in a few years and had completely forgotten about it.

          @linnaen:

          The second one should be MiFit_1.3.912_401_en_notify.apk. I haven't installed them because I don't have the band yet, but according to the second post in the thread that @ausmechkeyboards linked to, it modifies the app to allow you to set custom notification colours for various phone events. It seems like you may have to post a reply to that thread (with anything) in order for the download link to be active.

          I think I'll probably try the apps that @what a deal linked to first since they are open source and not so difficult to get a download for!

      Not as accurate like Sony Smartband SWR10 but will do

    • azm on 28/04/2015 - 07:17

      IMHO it is more comfortable to wear for a longer period of time and quite precise.

    • Tasmaniac on 27/04/2015 - 22:12

      Once you've created an account the app should prompt you to sync the band, if it doesn't select the menu button (or 3 horizontal dots in the top right corner) and select "my devices" to pair your band.

    • msmhw on 27/04/2015 - 22:13

    • salem on 28/04/2015 - 09:31
      +8

      As long as it's consistently inaccurate, it will serve its purpose. If it only ever records 80% of your steps, and you do 1000 steps, it will show 800. If the next day you do 2000, it will show 1600. You'll see 800 one day, 1600 the next, and you'll know you did twice as good as the day before. Even if the capture rate fluctuates between say 80 and 95%, you'll still be able to see if you're making meaningful improvements or not.

      Even if by some completely stuffed engineering it is completely useless as a pedometer, it's still a wrist mounted notification point, with vibration alarms and colour coded notification lights. That alone is worth $20 to me.

          Plenty of health insurance companies are already trying to obtain exactly that data so they can raise your premiums or deny liability for that expensive heart attack.

          They really don't. The paranoid hysteria from last year around health insurance companies apparently trying to obtain Fitbit data to deny payments due to sedentary lifestyle, was pure fluff. No one is doing this, and certainly not in Australia. Those insurance companies that do offer fitness trackers are including them with hospitals and extras cover as freebies. The stories about employers monitoring health data were equally benign.

          Nothing like calling someone "pseudo-intellectual" but failing to realise the app on your phone that connects to this "pedometer" can indeed "phone home"

          These bands almost universally pair to your phone with bluetooth and users must opt into features like email updates or remote storage of personal data. In effect, it means that you can be as transparent as you wish with your health information. You can use your fitness band as a dumb pedometer… unless you believe these companies will violating their EULA for no better reason than to discreetly monitor something so mundane as your daily step count. If you're going down that rabbit hole then you might as well throw out your phone and live in a hut.

          By the way I've actually read 1984. Have you?

          I actually loved 1984, less so the conspiracy theorists who co-opted it.

          I guess you know better than Forbes and the consultants for the health insurers then huh? There are already insurers offering "discounts" (in reality not charging penalties) for wearing the trackers and some of these programs are being used by employers in the US to get discounts. Tell me there's no pressure when your job depends on it.

      I also tested the app on my iPhone 5 and had the same error as you did. I got it to work by making an account at the Xiaomi website instead. Note you have to use the international version of your phone number for them to send a verification code to. Ie: 0412345678 becomes +61412345678 for an Australian mobile.
      I logged on just fine after this process and the app looks alright, but I can't say how well it works without the Mi band.

    Does it automatically sync with phone and send all data to smartphone wireless?

      It used Bluetooth. It sync with the paired device. (one device/ band)

      • salem on 28/04/2015 - 13:05

        yep. Not constant updating, but when you open the app the band sends its data wirelessly over bluetooth to your phone. while the app is open though, it will live update as you walk. close the app, and the band still keeps track of your steps, and uploads the data next time you open the app.

        but it will connect to your android phone with bluetooth low energy (BLE) for live notifications, which means when you get a call or text or facebook or whetever, the band vibrates and flashes an led of your choice (eg: blue for facebook, green for hangouts), even without the app open.

    Would this work with a Windows phone?

      There's 2 apps on the windows store that support it. Just search Xiaomi and they'll come up. Both look pretty capable. That's what got me to purchase one last night :)

    Does anyone know if this will work with a Samsung Galaxy S3? Thanks.

      What android version are you running?

      • Empharand on 28/04/2015 - 13:53

        Running Android 4.3 (asks for 4.4 or above), and I'm not sure if S3's run Bluetooth 4.0, so I'm doubtful it will work .. just wondering if anyone else is using these with a Samsung Galaxy S3

    +1

    Price is AU$16.40 - if you change to AU$ on Allbuy site before buying - and you don't have to worry about exchange rates etc.

      Wow thanks for that. It's down to $16.35.. 26 cents bargain.

      i've found it is usually better to pay in the local currency and use the visa/mastercard exchange rate

    These are awesome but sometimes can be hit and miss, I bought 6 of these, 1 for myself and rest as gifts, and 2 of them are faulty. (figured money i didn't spend on fitbit)

    Wish I bought them at this price though only bought them less than a month ago.
