absolutely not, it has one of the best battery life in it's class

anyone ever experiencing Russia as shipment source?

and the official Mi Fit app has plenty of features now, too

@porco I thought Russia warehouses we're only for Russian countries

I can never order from the

there

I didn't get to chose a warehouse

oh

the seller also didn't mention where the stuff ships from

I did get one 11/11 shipment shipped from Malaysia

that's about as non China as it gets for me

M'Laysia nice

@johnfrum

it can also live on its own without a Bluetooth connection for up to 2 weeks and not lose tracking data iirc

you sleep with it?

2 weeks memory

yes

shower?

only when I'm in a rush

usually take it off to shower just because the water triggers the display

perma bt connected?

nah, unless I need notifications

hmm

this may be it

I connect it once in a few days

to sync

my BT stays off most of the time

How do you get notifications then?

as I said, if my phone is on silent I turn BT on

and even if I keep BT on, I have mi band tools set up so that notifications:
don't go off if my screen is on
don't go off if my ring volume is up

mi band tools is a great app

Pretty much going to use it for jogging and texts maybe syncing to wireless earphone.

for the longest time it only worked to track walking, you couldn't tell if you were running or not in the app from the data

but now there's activities and you can make running/cycling etc with a map history and all that

like other fitness trackers

you just gotta put them in manually

well you can just start the app, go to activities and start running

and it'll track that event as running

complete with your phones GPS info

Eh, I thought it wa pedometer...

it used to be just that, and you can still use it just as that with no problem
