"I've been using the Smart Band 9 for a few months now and I do exercise with it multiple times a day. Cycling, treadmill, strength training, and would wear it for kickboxing class (but not when sparring of course) and whilst it isn't perfectly accurate, I think that it offers enough insight for the greatly discounted price tag when compared to a Garmin!"
"it's a great little fitness/sleep tracker for the price."

"There’s no GPS? So I’m supposed to have the band on my wrist and my phone along with me for all the workouts, to get the distance tracked?"

I love this watch: [https://a.co/d/cehxA9F](https://a.co/d/cehxA9F) Xiaomi Smart band 9. It has a really great battery life (\~20 days) and it's not as expensive as the comparable fit bit options. I bought a custom flexible band too and only take it off during showers.
Jusqu'ici j'avais un Redmi Smart Band Pro et il assurait le suivi de la natation (il détectait même le style de nage...) Mais comme il commençait à fatiguer (sutout les attaches du bracelet), j'ai pris un Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Active (50 modes de sport) Hélas, la natation n'apparait même pas dans la liste des activités sur le bracelet... Je vais sûrement utiliser le mode Entrainement pour le suivi Je suis un nageur occasionnel donc ça me suffira Le Smart Band 9 "classic" a 150 modes de sport donc j'imagine que la natation en fait partie
Perso j'ai une xiaomi smart band pro 9 et pour le prix (60€) rien à dire, bonnes fonctionnalités sportives, très bonne autonomie, c'est compatible avec strava (il faut synchroniser mi fitness et strava), et surtout il y a un gps intégré d'assez bonne précision donc le téléphone est moins indispensable à avoir sur soi. Le gros défaut c'est justement en natation où il ne calcule pas le temps de déplacement spécifiquement, mais divise la distance sur le temps total d'activité pour calculer le temps au 100m, donc ça donne un temps bien trop élevé
I'm using a Xiaomi Mi-band 9 to count laps. There's more, but it counts laps fine, is cheap and has a battery that lasts me a week.
Since the Garmin and Fitbit were not enough for you, your expectations might be too high. Sleep tracking would never be very accurate no matter how expensive the watch is. I have used some cheap (less than 100) fitness trackers and so far Mi Band 9 Pro works well enough in my opinion. It does all you want (HR tracking, sleep monitoring, high/low HR alert) and also has basic smart features such as notifications, GPS, weather app, timer, alarm, compass etc. Mi Fitness app is easy to navigate. It does not fail to detect my actual sleep, but thought I was sleeping while I was just resting and not moving my arm for few times in the past several months. You can delete the fake sleep session on the app so it was not an issue in my opinion. The only slightly annoying thing about its sleep tracking is that it calls sleep shorter than 3 hours 'nap' and does not record sleep stages. Overall I am happy with my purchase.
Xiaomi makes a decent smartwatch on the cheap. The smart band 9 is solid if you want sleep tracking/fitness stuff for less than $60.
I know that Greg Mairs uses Zoop. Personally, I use a Mi Band 9. It lasts for a couple of weeks and heart rate is quite accurate +/- 3bpm. OnePlus has a watch that tracks shots played and so forth
I got a xiaomi smart band 9 for $30 USD from Amazon a couple of weeks ago. If you're in the US, it uses metric units; idk if that'd be a deal breaker for you. I just wanted something cheap to track steps and tell the time, and it works great for that. There is a period tracker, but I decided not to use it. Didn't seem like the best idea, being a woman in the US.
Wouldn't really recommend Pro 2 for that (either). It's just a nice looking watch with GPS. Xiaomi could be better.
I bought one back in May, 1 month later the sensor was already broken. Brought it to the store and they replaced it a new one. Now just 4 months later the touch screen is partially dead. Has anyone else had the same experience? Im pretty sure I have taken good care of it.
