You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
My Garmin Vivosmart 3 band has snapped twice now and the clasp is failing so after 2 rounds of superglue I decided it was time to replace it, with this year’s non-material frugality drive in mind.
Enter the Xiaomi Mi Band 4 with its 20 day life, Amoled screen and bells and whistles for.... £36. Gets great reviews, worth a look if your after a band, and many 3rd party replaceable bands are available.
New Vivosmart bands start at £2.99.
😉
For the Vivosmart 4 yes. For the 3, its and all in one moulded design which can't be replaced without sending tn Garmin and paying about £40, hence the use of superglue in the past.
Can the xiaomi do anything with the data - does it work with samsung health or mapmyride?
Always fancied a HRM but not sooooo bothered about the fitness tracking / steps / calories etc.
It has its own native app, I can't remember it having GPS but I don't think so. My use is for tracking sleep & stress hours and a negative application of smart notifications (I want to glance at a reason for not picking up my phone, rather than interact with a message on my wrist).

I'm not lauding it as the best band ever, but a cheap band for basic use which fits my use case.
