Decent pedometer and heartrate monitoring performance, good sleep tracking except it doesn't track daytime naps, brilliant battery life (roughly once in a month) - these sums up Mi Band 2. A recommended purchase for anyone looking for a tracker under 2k.

I first purchased this smart watch after doing some research when I wanted a Fit Bit. I realized there were many other alternatives available and this was one of them. It was also so much cheaper I thought it wouldn't hurt to try it out.

Xiaomi recently launched the most expected Mi Band 2 in India. It is the company's third-generation fitness and sleep tracker after the most popular Mi Band and the upgraded Mi Band Pulse with a heart rate sensor. It is the first Mi Band with an OLED display. Priced at Rs.

With the Xiaomi's Mi Band 2, the Chinese company updates its original $13 fitness tracker with a slightly more expensive version, adding new features such as an 0.42-inch OLED display and a heart rate sensor. The 149 yuan price, which converts to around $22, £17 or AU$29, is a fraction of what you'd pay for similar products such as the Fitbit Alta...or, even, Fitbit's less-expensive Zip. It's not yet on sale on Xiaomi's US website.

If you just want a basic fitness tracker for walking, the Mi Band 2 does the job fine, but you'll have to look towards more expensive trackers if you want more features.

The Mi Band 2 is absurdly affordable despite packing in a heart rate sensor; sleep tracking; water resistance and a battery life of a week.

The fitness band doesn't offer the exercise tracking that would make it a perfect accessory.

Xiaomi has launched the second edition of its fitness tracker. In a market where FitBit and Goqii bands have found massive fan following, the Mi Band 2, in more ways than one, keeps it simple.

The Xiaomi Mi Band had a few things which really set it apart, if nothing other than the bang-for-buck you get from the $15 pricetag of the previous models . The Mi Band has since rapidly evolved with the addition of a heart monitor and now with the addition of a display and soft button.

While last year's Xiaomi Mi Band got the price (Rs. 999 at launch) spot on, there were a few compromises that we weren't too happy with, most importantly the lack of a display. A year on, Xiaomi has launched the Mi Band 2 in an attempt to fix those flaws by adding a display and a heart rate sensor.

The Mi Band 2 is the latest wearable fitness tracker from Chinese hardware giant Xiaomi. It follows the cheap but feature-rich Mi Band and Mi Band 1S and introduces a screen for the first time in the range, as well as improved pedometer tech, which Xiaomi claims is kinder to the battery.

Attractive waterproof design; Great OLED display; Battery life

Charging cable easily lost; Weak third-party app support; Lacks guidance and advice

Xiaomi's Mi Band 2 is one of those gadgets that simply represents great value. It's not the fanciest fitness tracker on the market, or the fullest featured, but at around AUD$60, it's one of the most affordable.
