it's not comparable to a "real" smartwatch, but it's also way cheaper than a "real" smartwatch

the things it does, it does well

I've got mi band 1s for like 15$

My mi band 2 has stopped reading my heart rate recently

I think I'mdead

but I don't realy use it for heart rate

Lol

so

are you wearing it on the top of your wrist? it doesn't read properly if you wear it on the bottom of your wrist

like near the joint

i hardly ever use heart rate on mine either though

I'm amazed by its battery life

it'll probably work better if it's further up

movedit up my wrist, will report results

i mean wearing it "upside-down" so the buckle faces up

oh right

I'll try upside down

that confuses the heart rate sensor, and also the "tilt wrist to view time"

which is too bad, i kinda prefer wearing it upside-down

I sort of want it for the sleep time stuff

I've not been sleeping well recently

as far as I can tell and have tested the sleep stuff is fairly accurate

it seems to work very well, the "deep sleep" measurement does seem to correlate with how well-rested i feel

How does it calculate the sleep states, though?

it somewhat tracks up with my mum's fitbit when I test it

motion sensing, apparently you move around more or less depending on whether you're in deep sleep

not sure of the details

incidentally, since i'm in the habit of taking off the band before showering in the morning, that makes it think i slept longer than i did (because it's sitting motionless on my bed)

Kek

i ought to just wear it into the shower, since it's fully waterproof

which i have done, and it survived, i'm just not in the habit of it

I think, mine, counts steps while I'm on my scooter to work

yeah, i've heard people say biking throws off the step count too

i haven't really tested the step count accuracy

The app shows real-time steps

yeah, when i've looked at that it seems very precise

And it pauses the exact time you stop walking which is good👌

i've wondered if it counts steps while jerking off lol

Hahahaha

i don't think it does, but it almost seems like it should since i wear it on the same hand and all

that makes me think the step counting isn't as related to arm swing as i thought
