On sale for the cheapest price yet and beating my own previous Banggood deal is the popular Xiaomi Mi Band 6. This is the Chinese version, but the only difference from the Global version is that the packaging is in Chinese instead of English. The hardware and all other features remain the same.

The improvements over the Mi Band 5 is a larger 1.56" 152x486 AMOLED display (was 1.1") , SpO2 sensor (was China only) and 30 sport modes (was 11).

Other features include over 130 watch faces, heart rate monitoring, sleep monitoring, 14 day battery life, 50m water resistance, magnetic charging and more. It works with apps including Mi Fit, Google Fit and Xiaomi Wear.

1 order per customer, free shipping and AU$ based on current Mastercard rate.

Hekka.com is a more new Chinese store and I checked with reps from BG, GB etc. and they've heard of them. Worst case you'll have PayPal on your side.

This is part of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals for 2021

        I've been surprised - all my recent Aliexpress orders have made it to Sydney in a week or less.

        The risk is once they've made it through customs and into the AusPost systems - up to three weeks and I'm less than 10km from Sydney airport. That said, I did also get a pleasant surprise last week with one order taking less than a week from China to my front porch in just 7 days, so here's hoping that its a sign that AusPost is getting on top of things.

    I've got one and have been wearing it for 2 weeks. It's pretty handy. I do wish you could set a time frame to stop vibrate notifications the same way you can set a time frame to stop the screen coming on when tilting your wrist.

      You can install the 3rd party app "Notify for MiBand" which has heaps more features than standard MiFit.
      It will let you set times as you requested.

      This is what the DND (Do not disturb) is for unless I am misunderstanding your requirement?

      • 02keilj on 24/11/2021 - 11:21

        DND does do this but only with one custom time frame. I'd like it if I could set it to not disturb me for multiple time frames throughout the day.

        Not to my knowledge, but I haven't really used the spO2 much.

        EDIT: Using the 'Notify for mi Band' app mentioned above there is an option to export the spO2 data.

    • Ghost47 on 24/11/2021 - 14:08

      They had a firmware update 2-3 weeks ago on this band that I think made the raise to wake detection very sensitive. I’m not sure if it’s fixed itself as I’ve just tested it and it seems to be ok (or I’ve just become accustomed to it).

    Has anyone managed to find a band for these for tiny wrists? I'm looking for my child - and they have very small wrists and most of the bands (with the exception of things like Garmin Vivofit Jr) are still too big at the smallest size.

    • Anchovie on 23/11/2021 - 16:53

      I saw some on ebay for band 5,just search for Xiaomi Mi band cartoon. I think they are compatible with band 6.

    • Rockgod70 on 23/11/2021 - 16:55

      I have a leather one with beads on it that i got from Ebay. I have small wrists and just cut the leather to size.

    • ozbreaker on 23/11/2021 - 16:56

      I bought a bunch on ebay historically - lots of different styles and some have a lot of extra holes in them and have different fasteners - might be worth checking those out if you haven't yet?

      • Rockgod70 on 23/11/2021 - 16:57

        The one i have has a clasp so you just cut the leather and put the clasp on the end, no need to make holes

    • z0idberg on 23/11/2021 - 17:19

      I had a similar requirement and also something less likely to pop off the wrist easily (as my band 5 standard band does sometimes).

      Found this nylon/velcro strap that fits both the 5 and 6 (used the same strap for both types) that has been fine on a 7 year old and 9 year olds wrist. The 7 year old particularly is a good durability/lose-ability test.
      Velcro easily adjustable to small sizes and holding up well after 5 months just as strong as originally. If velcro comes undone there is a catch mechanism that stops it coming all the way through so the band still has to get over the wrist to come off completely which makes it very hard to drop off accidentally. No problems playing sport/school and even swimming in the surf.

      This one from China was only a couple of bucks but delivery time frame was a month plus.
      https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/265023237303

      then bought the same but from local stock as needed short delivery time:
      https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/203525864421

      Both highly recommended over the original strap for kids.

    Is anyone able to comment on the screen visibility under strong outdoor sunlight?

    I have a very old mi band 2 and even on a cloudy day, if you're outside, you just can't see your screen no matter what. Even if you shade the mi fit with your curled up hand.

    Are these definitely always visible?

      A billion times better than the 2.

      You can set the brightness up and down - but there's no comparison. I made my mum throw her 2 away last week when i realised could barely read it in the dark.

        • ozbreaker on 24/11/2021 - 09:32

          It's really annoying that the heart rate monitor stops working when it's counting laps in swim mode = or is that just me?

    • slee123 on 24/11/2021 - 06:33

      As long as your brightness is up it’s fine. I tried with brightness down and it was harder to see so it’s turned up all the way and battery life still good (depending on what your settings are)

    • 6828 on 27/11/2021 - 09:27

          Just going by the amount of 30 odd dollar "Mi band 6 bargain" posts you see that never seem to go away.

          They cost around AUD$65

          • Clear on 23/11/2021 - 19:59
            +2

            @ZilogX: A$65 is wayyyy too much and it has only been around that mark once on OzBargain. Usually <A$50. The reason why this is much cheaper is because it's the CN version, it's not the NFC version (would be useless here anyway) and Hekka pulling a loss leader to bring traffic to their website.

      I know the deal has expired but you might want to check out this YouTube chap who tests these bands and found that Huawei is more accurate at Heart rate monitoring than the Xiaomi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDQzzyQFYQs&t=1074s

      Using my Mi Band 5 and my Garmin heart rate monitor (Strap and Edge 705) I find the Mi Band 5 (Same accurate as the 6) is poor at accurate measurements. It can't register fast heart rate changes and does the 1/2 the actual rate on a regular basis. So if I go on a ride the heart rate might show 60 bpm while my Garmin is at 120.

  • dreamscene on 23/11/2021 - 23:27

    Any accuracy reports of this model?

    • Ghost47 on 24/11/2021 - 14:02

      HRM is good, step counter is good, sleep is pretty good too (in terms of sleep and wake time only, can’t say for sleep cycles really). SpO2 seems good but again can’t verify.

      Overall I think it’s good, it lasts about 4-5 days from full charge with all the bells and whistles on at about 3/5 brightness and doesn’t take long to charge either.

      I don’t think it looks very fashionable though, if the face itself was wider slightly like the old Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro it’d look nicer.

      I mean for <$40 it’s a steal really.

      Forgot to mention, one massive issue IMO for this band is if you use the timer it won’t show anything except for the timer lol. So you can’t view notifications or see the time, it stays on the timer until you cancel it lol.

  • Ghost47 on 24/11/2021 - 14:10

    One issue for the band people should know is if you use the timer you can’t do anything else on the band, you have to quit the timer so you can see the time, notifications etc. Same with the stopwatch. Kind of lame but the price for what you get is good.

      Just got mine today, and it doesn’t look genuine. A real Xiaomi usually comes in pretty quality packaging. This was just in a thin cardboard box. Hmmmm!!

        When I did a google search it says the genuine box is slightly rough (which it is) whereas the copy had smooth printing.
        It looks the same as the genuine box (easy to copy that of course) but main concern is no scratch off code that is mentioned on the Xiaomi website - perhaps the Chinese version doesn't have this?
        Anyone else have any feedback on the one they received or any way of telling if it is real?
        Will a fake one work with the Xiaomi app?
