The
Connected via Bluetooth to the smartphone, the Mi Band 3 can be largely controlled via the Mi Fit companion application. In this one, there is an activity log but also the settings of the bracelet. From an ergonomic point of view the application is quite successful.
To interact with its owner, the Mi Band 3 has an extremely powerful vibrator. Most other bracelets or watches look soft to us. It’s almost annoying the first few times, but you get used to it pretty quickly. If you use the bracelet in alarm mode, expect an early start… you can’t be late.
It should also be noted that the
Xiaomi’s bracelet can also be used to measure your swimming sessions. Waterproof up to 50 meters deep for 30 minutes, it can be used in the pool as well as in the shower without any problem.

Xiaomi Mi Band 3
Considering its very affordable price of 30 euros, the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 is a very good surprise. The product has a rather good finish and, far from being a simple gadget, has many Connected functions It works essentially on the same model as competing products such as the Fitbit Charge2, which is 5 times more expensive. The difference plays on the results obtained sometimes less accurate on the Mi Band, in particular because of a less reliable heart rate sensor. Pretty impressive, though. If you are looking for a connected product but don’t want to go broke, don’t hesitate for a second.
