oh
i see
what is this application
It's "Mi Fit" from Xiaomi. Compatible with Mi Bands
Are mi bands good?
i'm happy with mine (mi band 2)
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
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
