Good value for money i believe, however, i was disappointed that the app that goes with it is quite poor and has all sort of issues. Also, been using it for two weeks and it just does not record sleep correctly, i mean they are way off, i can only trust the deep sleep score because i don't know any...

Technology can help with your fitness by using an appropriate device.

A barebones fitness tracker for a budget price but its actual accuracy leaves something to be desired.

Inexpensive; Good build quality; Water-resistant; Good battery life

Inaccurate heart rate monitor; Sleep tracking is basic; Fiddly to charge

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

There are downsides to the Mi Band 3. The temperamental heart rate tracker and distance tracking don't make this a viable alternative to a good GPS-toting running watch. Only buy this if you just want basic stats like your step count and sleep tracking; you shouldn't be looking to get the Xiaomi Mi...

Very cheap; Slimline design; Heart rate monitor

No GPS; Poor screen visibility in daylight; Temperamental heart rate tracker

The Xiaomi Mi Band 3 fitness tracker only has one truly unique selling point: its price. For around $25, you can get a fitness tracker capable of pretty much everything a casual user could need.

Incredible value Improved design Light and comfortable Excellent battery life Great heart rate monitoring Accurate tracking

No option to manually start sleep No option to start activities from wrist Limited activity profiles Software could use some work

The finest budget fitness tracker around. Long battery life, waterproof, and phone notifications make this a bargain for those with basic fitness tracking needs.

As far as fitness bands go, Xiaomi's line up of Mi Bands has been one of the best selling in the world. Ever since the company launched the (admittedly pretty basic) original Mi Band, it has caught the eye of a mass audience thanks to the aggressive pricing strategy by the company.

Excellent design; Touchscreen OLED display; Automatic heart rate tracking; Good battery life; Sharp 193 ppi display

Difficult to pop-out of the band; Easy to bump into walls and furniture (kind of like your little toe

The Mi Band has been an important Xiaomi product for the Indian market in the recent history. It has single-handedly added a considerable boost to the wearables market without making consumers' pocket bleed money.

When it worked, easy to use and effective; Two year warranty but it remains to be seen if it is a genuine warranty

Hopeless quality and reliability; Failed after about four weeks; Worse, it was a present so it's embarrassing; Now I've got the inevitable battle; Avoid if you haven't time for problems
