There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I did not want to spend several hundred dollars for a fitness watch all because of a brand name, especially after spending so much on my Fitbit and having it wasted.
There are very few fitness watches on the market that do not have nickel that touches the skin, but this is one of them.
I did as much research as I could and purchased this one and I do not regret it. I actually like it more than I ever liked my Fitbit because this one was only around $50 and does everything my Fitbit did AND MORE. I had the fitbit versa 3.
Not sure why I was not able to get oxygen monitoring on my Fitbit, because they advertised that as a feature, but it is available for free on this band.
Be more customizable than Fitbit or any other smartwatch I've seen. I actually put a picture of my dog as my watch face with a customized overlay (the actual watch time, the heart rate, whatever else you want to see). The photo quality of my watch face is crazy. It looks just like a phone screen and it behaves like one too. It's very receptive and fast.
So much about this watch is highly customizable which is great for me because I'm very particular about what I want popping up on my watch, so I don't get distracted. You have a lot of freedom in choosing what alerts pop up on your watch and during what hours of the day, you can even choose a custom vibration pattern.
Around October 24 I purchased 2 of the xiaomi band 7s for my boyfriend and I. It is now November 18th as I'm writing this, so that's how long I've had the watches.
The only downsides to this watch that I have found are: the companion app, the durability of the screen, and the band falling off sometimes. I will explain in detail.
The Google app store has two applications for this watch and only one of them is good. Both of them are a little bit unintuitive to navigate, but it is manageable. The app recommended in the manual is the one that most people don't like (I found this out online from reviewers).
A few times, I was out of the house and my band just came undone and fell off. I almost didn't notice and I could have lost my watch. Luckily I noticed in time and I picked it up, but unfortunately the screen was chipped a bit on the edge. It fell on concrete but it only fell like 2 ft down.
The good app to get is ZEPP LIFE. Don't even bother with the other one. You can do everything you need to do in the Zepp Life app!
Hey xiaomi, you should advertise that your watch is nickel free because you could increase your customers! I had to search the web to find recommendations from other people who have nickel allergies. This information is hard to find, so you guys are missing out on potential customers.
TLDR; I absolutely love this watch and I am very happy that I purchased it. I would definitely buy other products from xiaomi because of my experience with this watch. I prefer it to my old Fitbits and the price makes it a great value.

APP - Right away it will prompt you to download the "Mi Fitness" app (Xiaomi Wear), which has a pretty good interface and settings, but I found that the watch also connects well to the "Zepp Life" app (formerly Mi Fit) and this app gives the watch a few more functionalities that I wanted. The Zepp Life app connects to Google Fit without a third party app as well as allowing you to reply to messages (from a bank of up to 10 customizable messages or with emojis (find in 'Fast Reply Management' under 'Notifications and Reminders' in the app), and it allows you to remotely take pictures by clicking your watch. I think the notification reply feature is worth the switch.
HEALTH - It has over 100 workout modes (including chess, esports, and foosball), but does more data for the more common ones. The workouts have been pretty accurate it seems and it does pretty good at doing continuous monitoring of heart and calories and speed and whatnot. If you choose an outdoor workout it will take a second to connect to your phone GPS and then you can start, but you don't have to open your phone at all. It has done a pretty good job with tracking swimming and I did not have trouble exiting the locked mode for swimming.
Note that the watch does not have continuous heart monitoring except when in a workout mode (the most frequent otherwise is every minute), so if you forget to start a workout on your watch then it probably won't be very accurate in calculating your heart rate zones during that workout. But the watch will record 'light activity' or 'slow walking' among other things without you doing anything if you take a closer look at your step count.
- Blood oxygen and stress measurements require you to be pretty still while measuring, so even if you have the setting where it is supposed to measure every few minutes it most likely won't unless you are very still. It mostly measures when you are asleep.
- Most watch companies have some formula for basically showing how active you have been recently. Xiaomi has PAI (Personal Physiological Activity Indicator), which takes all of your data and your personal physical data (height, weight, gender) and gives you points based on how much activity you have done in the last week. It adapts to what it knows about you and makes it harder to gain points the fitter you are. I like it, another fun thing to track.
- You can also see that it calculates your VO2 Max, which I don't know if you can trust, but it fun to compare against your past self; and it shows your 'workout load' for the past week, which shows if you are exercising an amount that will not have much impact on your athletic ability, or if you are doing too much and are likely to cause fatigue or injury, or if you are in the green zone of growing athletic ability. It's another fun measurement.
BATTERY - The battery is very good. When I first got it I ran a few tests:
1. The battery lasted 7-8 days when I used it at medium functionality (1-2 short workouts/day, smart heart monitoring, and only manual stress and blood oxygen measurements, no Always on Display)
2. The battery lasted 4 days when I turned pretty much every feature that could drain battery on (I didn't turn AOD on but made the tilt-to-wake more sensitive)
3. There is a battery saver mode that only records steps and basic sleep information that I didn't try, but I imagine it will reach the 14 or so days that they claim it can reach.
Now I have most of the features on and I just charge it for about 20 minutes when I take a shower each day (it recommends keeping the watch away from heat) and the battery stays in the 80-100% range.
I didn't find the sleep breathing quality (beta) feature to be very helpful, but it does seem to give a good drain on the battery (it uses the blood oxygen levels somehow; it might be more helpful if you are older and have worse sleep).
OTHER FEATURES - See the picture for all the apps on the watch.
- I do like that you can set and change and add new alarms all from the watch. I also like that there is a 'smart alarm' function you can turn on that will wake you up a little before your alarm if it senses that you are in a lighter sleep stage.
- You can control the media playing when you are in workout mode, and you can lock your screen on workout mode to prevent accidental touching (automatically does when swimming).
- There is a find my phone feature that I have found to be helpful.
- There are plenty of watchfaces to choose from and you can even upload your own picture on some of them. Some of the watchfaces allow you to customize what information you have on the screen.
- I've also had no problems in staying connected to the app. It always delivers notifications and syncs easily with the app.
- It has all the other functions that you might expect a watch at this price range to have.
ISSUES - You should note that the device does not have a light sensor on it so it will not automatically adjust the brightness for you, and for some reason you have to dig through settings to be able to change it at all (which is hard to do if you can't see your screen).
I don't usually need to turn the brightness up, and actually wish the screen could be less bright at the lowest setting, so I just changed my background to a darker one and that helped.

I didn't find the sleep breathing quality (beta) feature to be very helpful, but it does seem to give a good drain on the battery (it uses the blood oxygen levels somehow; it might be more helpful if you are older and have worse sleep).
OTHER FEATURES - See the picture for all the apps on the watch.
- I do like that you can set and change and add new alarms all from the watch. I also like that there is a 'smart alarm' function you can turn on that will wake you up a little before your alarm if it senses that you are in a lighter sleep stage.
- You can control the media playing when you are in workout mode, and you can lock your screen on workout mode to prevent accidental touching (automatically does when swimming).
- There is a find my phone feature that I have found to be helpful.
- There are plenty of watchfaces to choose from and you can even upload your own picture on some of them. Some of the watchfaces allow you to customize what information you have on the screen.
- I've also had no problems in staying connected to the app. It always delivers notifications and syncs easily with the app.
- It has all the other functions that you might expect a watch at this price range to have.
ISSUES - You should note that the device does not have a light sensor on it so it will not automatically adjust the brightness for you, and for some reason you have to dig through settings to be able to change it at all (which is hard to do if you can't see your screen).
I don't usually need to turn the brightness up, and actually wish the screen could be less bright at the lowest setting, so I just changed my background to a darker one and that helped.

I love the sleek and simple design of this. It’s less eye catching than an expensive Apple Watch which I like. The band fit is comfy and won’t ever come off unless you’re doing something abrasive.
Function:
Does everything that Apple Watch does. It doesn’t have perfect syncing with Apple Health so don’t expect that to be seemless. Naturally because it’s just a fitness tracker you have to have your phone with you to track the gps route of your walk or run. If you don’t bring your phone it’ll just estimate distance. The vibration in it works totally fine but admittedly sounds a little dinky.
I love using this as a timer or alarm. I haven’t done a full comparison to a Fitbit but I assume it does almost everything the same. You have different watch face options of course.
Battery
I don’t have the extra settings like stress and specific sleep functions on, so it’s been 20 days since I last charged it. Plus it fully charges in a few hours.
Nothing to complain about honestly. Unless you’ve got the apple bug to get everything apple, don’t get an Apple Watch over this.
