Mi Band 3 Review
Mi Band 3 :
The price & features, you all know it, no need to write again.
About the pros and cons, there are tons of reviews in Amazon and YouTube. Go and check them.
I've been using the Gadget for last 10 days & what i'll be writing is about the battery life...
• The company claims it can withstand 20 days, but it is not impossible. With all the features turned off, and only using it as a digital watch, I think it can survive for 15-20 days. (Even more, I haven't tried it so far)
• With all the features turned on, 24 hr heart rate sensing, some behavior tagging (you'll find it in Mi fit app), with the Exercise Mode on (I Workout 1 hr a day), Sleep Assistance turned on, and all those Notification, Call, Alarm etc; i mean EVERYTHING TURNED ON which drains Your Battery; the Mi Band 3 runs a disappointing 1 day (24 hrs for heavy users).
• With moderate use, the Heart Rate Sensor turned off, but Sleep assistant turned on (which measures your Heart Rate while sleeping), and my 1 hr Workout as usual (during Exercise Mode the band measures your Heart Rate & Calories Burnt Continuously); the Mi Band 3 served me for about 2.5-3 days.
• With just a casual use, with simliar features from the previous point and the Sleep Assistance Turned Off; I've last charged the device 2 days ago and it still has 70% charge left (including my Workout).
P.S. -
° On an average I wear the Mi Band 3 for about 18+ hrs a day with 10+ hrs Connected with my Smartphone to the Mi Fit App, via Bluetooth.
° The Pedometer (3-Axis Accelerometer in this case) which counts your Steps & Distance traversed, & the Sleep Monitor which counts just the Hours You Slept (not the Sleep Assistance); These 2 features can't be turned off, they run 24×7.
° My regular 1 hr Workout drains about 11-12% of battery each day.
° I use the Night Mode from Evening.
Conclusion :
•If You are a Casual User, The Mi Band 3 will serve You 15+ days in a Single Charge.
• I'm a Moderate User, and it goes more than a week for me.
• For Heavy Users, the Mi Band 3 might run max 1-2 days.
These are completely my Personal Opinion, based on my Personal Experience. I apologise for any Controversy.
Here is a Blog from Mi Store :
Mi Band 3 comes with a 110mAh Li-Ion Polymer Battery that can give up to 20 days of battery backup with routine use.
Automatic Heart Rate Monitoring -
This feature measures heart rate at the user set frequency intervals. For increased accuracy the algorithm measures Heart rate at a higher frequency when a movement or activity is detected. Additionally, when a user is asleep the heart rate is measured at a frequency of 2 min to give an accurate resting Heart rate result. These features consume very high battery and leads to an average life of 1 - 3 days.
Sleep Assistant -
Sleep assistant function helps in accurately measuring the sleep. Use this feature only if the Mi Band 3 is unable to detect your sleep tracking as it uses higher battery power.
To achieve more battery life it’s recommended to use these features whenever it’s required.
