Redmi Smart Band Pro: All the important stats
3 min readIt was the Xiaomi’s personal Mi Band that virtually kick-started the tracker class in India. Now, the new Redmi Smart Band Pro takes up the place the Mi Band 6 left off, moving into smartwatch territory with its bigger show and coming in at simply Rs 3,999.
Bright sight: The Redmi Smart Band Pro (they name it a SportsWatch and we will indulge it by calling it the identical) has an oblong 1.47-inch AMOLED show bigger and brighter than typical health bands. It’s very shiny even at its lowest stage and it is best to use the settings to customize specifically for sleep time as a result of a wrist-raise will wake the show up. It seems to be nice although and has actually robust colors and blacks. It’s a contact display, in fact, nevertheless it’s not prefer it’s very responsive. Often I’ve needed to give it repeated whacks to get it to react. Once it does, it strikes alongside superb and you may navigate with swipes and faucets. There isn’t a single button on this gadget.
Top vitals: Look for the Xiaomi Wear app to attach your band and see your stats. You’ll want your Xiaomi ID to log in. The app is an easy one, fairly like the band itself. Information is split into present standing, which is the place you’ll see your vitals and sleep, after which there’s exercise information. The solely different part is your profile.
The vitals tracked embrace coronary heart fee (resting and minimal, most averages) for the day, week and month. You can set coronary heart fee alerts. You can hold glancing at coronary heart fee whereas understanding in case you wish to keep ‘in the zone,’ for which the band additionally offers you some nudges. You positively have to take management of settings to get the most out of it.
Blood oxygen stage, V02 Max, menstrual cycles (handbook entry) standing situations (with nudges) are additionally lined. Sleep can be tracked. For some cause, Xiaomi additionally opted to do some stress monitoring on this band nevertheless it’s one thing I might personally warn towards bothering with. First of all, it solely makes use of coronary heart fee and oxygen stage to measure stress whereas there are such a lot of extra important parameters at play. Secondly, folks are likely to take one have a look at how harassed a tool say they’re to proceed to get extra harassed than ever.
This band tracks a seemingly unattainable variety of exercises. Anything you’ll be able to dream up from swimming (the machine is waterproof) to stomach dancing, treadmilling to leaping rope shall be tracked. It’s nonetheless based mostly on the identical sensors and tech so you’ll be able to name your exercise what you want. It’s not as if the band really is aware of the nuances between one sort of train and one other. That’s how it’s for my part. Whatever it’s although, it does hold you motivated and going as you make train an even bigger a part of your life.
The battery can final over per week. How way more will depend on what you do on it. There’s proprietary magnetic charger that it really works with. There’s just one strap – black – which is kind of a pity.
The band is linked to your cellphone so it should buzz when you’ve got a cellphone name. You can reject it or search for your cellphone and obtain the name. This is total a pleasant reasonably priced machine that tracks the most important issues broadly with passable accuracy. It’s an choice for individuals who don’t wish to spend on an costly smartwatch.
