The only thing that is really new is the larger display and it is worth the additional price compared to the Mi Band 5, which still costs about 26 Euro and the 29 Euros (~$31.63 versus $35.28) for the Amazfit Band 5 because the new resolution not only provides more space for additional information on the watch face, but also improves the readability of the menus.Īll three benefit from a high degree of personalization, especially for apps and widgets that can be arranged and hidden as desired. The functions of the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6 are similar to those of the predecessor and the very similar Amazfit Band 5. However, the second value for the altitude gain, which definitely does not represent an absolute altitude in the Hessian mountains, is unclear in the following log.

During a tour through surrounding places with several stops, the recording paused automatically when stopping. The reminder during cycling occurred after about 10 minutes in the test. If you have the smartphone with you, the Band 6 also records the route afterwards (when walking, running and cycling). You have to activate the recognition first, also for energy reasons, and for each sport individually. Walking, running, cycling and the workout with the rowing machine or on the cross trainer are automatically detected by the sports band and then vibrate to remind the user to start recording if necessary. After the 3rd km, however, the Xiaomi tracker dropped out and ended up being quite significantly off with only 3.9 km instead of the actual 4.8 km (~2.4 instead of 3.0 miles). In a short test, the kilometer (~3281 feet) signal initially came consistently after 1100m (~3609 feet). The quality of the estimate may be different for each person. For beginners and recreational runners, however, it may be enough to motivate them. This is too inaccurate for ambitious athletes. New profiles include basketball, volleyball and table tennis, dancing and HIIT.ĭuring an outdoor workout without a smartphone, the Xiaomi band does not record the route, but like most modern sports trackers, it estimates the stride length based on the user's height, age and weight and determines the distance covered and the speed on this basis. For the Band 6, Xiaomi now offers 30 profiles via the app, eleven of which can be transferred to the tracker. The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 and the Huami Band 5 had 11 sports profiles installed.

You can limit the do-not-disturb mode and the activation via gesture in terms of time. A night mode dims the screen in the evening hours.

The continuation of the test was done with an iPhone 12 Pro and the Xiaomi Wear Lite app.Īmong the options are individual vibration patterns for alarms, messages, incoming calls or emails, and an optional password protection that locks the band when you take it off.

On iOS, both apps connected with Apple Health, and the Xiaomi Wear Lite app additionally connected with Strava. However, we found an important difference in the account linking on our test devices: On Android, only Mi Fit connected with Google Fit, while the Xiaomi Wear app did not. Of course, the device settings change when you connect another wearable.

Mi Fit and Xiaomi Wear have different interfaces, but despite the term 'Lite', the differences between the Xiaomi Wear app on the iPhone or Android smartphone are minor. The iPhone and a Honor V20 each found our test device via both the Mi Fit app and the Xiaomi Wear app (the Xiaomi Wear Lite app on the iPhone).
