Xiaomi Mi Band 3 review

The Xiaomi Mi Band 3 is the Chinese company's new budget fitness tracker , and one that seems to be proving that the humble tracker is still very much alive. At least it is in China, where the new Mi Band hit one million sales in just 17 days after going on sale.

Still great value for money; Useful smartwatch features; Sleep tracking insights; Improved look

Screen visibility in bright sunlight; Heart rate accuracy; Tracking accuracy; No fitness tracking motivation

Mi Band 3 Review

Not entirely flawless, but incomparable at this price point - even against the newer Mi Band 4. Mi Band 3 is an excellent value activity- and sleep tracker, with a built-in heart-rate scanner. It's fully waterproof and offers extraordinary battery life, plus at-a-glance info on the time, date, weather and important notifications.

Xiaomi Mi Band 3 : The £27 fitness wearable that’s better than a Fitbit

Incredibly good for the money, the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 is the ultimate budget fitness tracker

Amazingly cheap; Includes a heart rate monitor; 50m water proof;

Heart rate accuracy not the greatest; OLED display difficult to read in bright light;
