Xiaomi Amazfit Cor

Rating: 4.9

Low cost fitness bracelets may not appeal to some customers because of their monochrome display. What to do, we are accustomed to smartphones and other devices, which include a color screen. To tell the truth, even some bike computers now have such a display! That is why many people want to wear a gadget with a color screen on their wrists. And it is he who possesses Amazfit Cor, which opens our rating.

This device is a little more than any budget fitness tracker. Due to the large size on the front panel of the device there was a place for a 1.23-inch display. Its resolution is 160x80 pixels. This parameter is enough to display the time, date and some other important information. Moreover, unlike the low-end models, Amazfit Cor tries to display at least the first line of the letter or message received on the user's smartphone. Also here there are additional applications, thanks to which the weather forecast can be displayed, for example. The only problem is that the display was created using IPS technology. This means that you are not waiting for a deep enough black color. But it is even more worried because this technology is not very energy efficient. However, with the default settings, you can achieve approximately 12-13 days of battery life. In this mode, the screen backlight is activated every time you raise your hand. If the backlight is not turned on, nothing is visible on the display - this is typical of IPS. Under the bright sun everything is read without any problems - the backlight copes. Although it is noticeable that at this moment the screen does not look as good as its OLED equivalent.

On receiving notifications, the device signals a perceptible vibration. Well, on the hand he holds with the help of a silicone strap. Charging is carried out using a cradle.There is no inconvenient USB-connector here, in connection with which even an elderly person whose hands are not being listened to in the best way could cope with connecting the charger.

Fitness bracelets are usually not spared. They can be used in the rain, and ideally I would even like to be able to swim. And this is not to mention the fact that the user's hand will regularly sweat if the owner of the gadget really becomes involved in training. In short, it is not surprising that Amazfit Cor received a waterproof housing. It conforms to the WR50 standard. This means that the shower and rain device will not harm. You can swim in a fitness bracelet, but diving should be discarded.

Synchronization with a smartphone via Bluetooth 4.1. And here there is a built-in heart rate monitor - it works with the help of an LED that can be seen on the back panel. It turns out that this tracker can be used to count the steps, get acquainted with the calories burned and fix the heartbeat. There are, of course, other functions, such as a timer, a stopwatch and an alarm clock.

For the sake of reducing the cost, the manufacturer abandoned the GPS chip. Because of this, you will not be able to save the route of your run. However, no one bothers to use for this purpose your smartphone. But even this is not the main problem of the device. Even the international version of the fitness bracelet Amazfit Cor does not have Russian. However, the firmware of the device is as simple as possible - instead of labels, icons are most often used, due to which you are unlikely to encounter any serious problems with mastering a gadget. By the way, on the Internet you can download third-party firmware - it differs by the support of the Cyrillic alphabet.

Xiaomi Amazfit Arc

Rating: 4.8

Another fitness tracker in our ranking, distributed under the Amazfit sub-brand. It is sold at about the same price - the buyer needs to spend about 3 thousand rubles. However, this does not mean that this bracelet is identical to the model discussed above. It is enough to take the device in your hand, as you can immediately feel the difference. The fact is that the weight of this model is only 20 g - about one and a half times less than the parameter that Amazfit Cor had. It also uses scratch-resistant glass. Not to mention the silicone strap, which also has no special differences. The display had the most effect on weight. The fact is that a very small OLED panel is used here - its diagonal does not exceed 0.42 inches. And even its size does not confuse, but the lack of colors. However, many fitness bracelets have a monochrome screen - it is quite enough to get acquainted with the current pulse or the number of steps. But at least a partial reading of incoming messages will have to be abandoned - the device can only notify about their receipt, for which vibration is used.

In the modest OLED display there is a definite plus. When using it, even a miniature battery, whose capacity is 70 mAh, lasts at least a week of battery life. And if the operation of the fitness bracelet is not too intense, then ten days can be achieved. However, the gadget will remind you of a long inactivity, thus pushing to the next training session - it’s unlikely you will be able to restrain yourself for a long time.

The rest is a typical fitness tracker. Pulse is measured by him using an LED located on the rear panel. This means that active perspiration can affect the accuracy of the readings. But inside the case the sweat does not exactly penetrate. Like any other type of moisture - this is evidenced by an IP67 certificate.It is impossible to dive with such a device. You can regret the absence of a GPS chip, which is why it is better to forget about saving the jogging route. Among the wireless modules, only Bluetooth is present here - it is with its help that it synchronizes with the smartphone.

The weak point of the device is its strap. It is made from very thin and unreliable material. For many buyers, he lasted only six months. After such a period he rushed in one of the holes. The trouble is that the replacement strap is impossible. After this, you have to buy a new fitness tracker, because it is almost pointless to carry it in your pocket.

Xiaomi Mi Band 3

Rating: 4.7

At the moment, this is the freshest fitness bracelet, which Xiaomi company sells under its own brand. This means that the buyer does not expect any pitfalls - the device is close to the ideal. Looking back on the price segment, of course. It is foolish to wait in the gadget for 2 thousand rubles. GPS chip or something like that. What can I say, there is not even a color display! Instead, a monochrome OLED panel is used, the diagonal of which is only 0.78 inches. The resolution of 128x80 pixels is barely enough to show the current pulse, the number of steps completed, or the level of performance of a specific task. Well, as the start screen, the clock is used here, which at the same time indicates the current date (the day of the week, issued instead of the year, is not forgotten).

Most existing fitness bracelets come with a silicone strap. Xiaomi Mi Band 3 is no exception. Fortunately, the strap turned out quite reliable. Although on the Internet you can find reviews that mention the fact that the strap has become unusable, but they are extremely rare. More often, people write praise, telling about decently implemented moisture protection. The manufacturer claims the standard IP68. But in fact, it is slightly lower - with the device it is not recommended to dive even to a small depth.

The fitness bracelet turned out to be very light - its weight does not exceed 20 g. The product uses its own firmware. It is impossible to get lost in the menu. If you install a special client on your smartphone, then regular synchronization will be performed. Also, the device will signal incoming messages, messages and calls. Including supported calendar notifications, which can not but rejoice. And such a small gadget is able to show the weather forecast!

Synchronization with a smartphone via the wireless standard Bluetooth 4.2 LE. Another device included a heart rate monitor - the LED is located on the rear panel. The readings are very accurate. But exactly the moment your wrist sweats up or you decide to shower. It is understandable, because moisture distorts the texture of the skin and veins, and therefore the system begins to experience problems.

It remains to add that Xiaomi Mi Band 3 got a 110 mAh battery. With a 20 gram weight, this is quite unexpected! With such a battery you can hope for several tens of days of battery life.

Xiaomi Mi Band 2

Rating: 4.6

Our rating could not do without, must be, the most popular creations of the company Xiaomi. Seriously, Mi Band 2 is able to boast more active sales than any smartphone released by the same company. Well, how else, if this fitness bracelet at the same time is one of the cheapest devices, distributed under the brand Xiaomi?

It is easy to guess that for 1300-1500 rubles you will get the minimum functionality. However, notifications of letters, calls and messages on the spot. The built-in heart rate monitor also works properly if your wrist is not wet. What else can you demand from a fitness bracelet? Of course, there is no GPS chip, which is why activity monitoring is essentially limited to counting steps. But the product turned out to be very light - the weight barely reaches seven grams! At the same time there was a place inside for a 70 mAh battery, the full charge of which lasts for 15-30 days of battery life, depending on the intensity of operation.

This fitness bracelet is easily pulled out of its strap. As a result, you can change it by buying an accessory of a different color. It will also be necessary if something happens to the strap. And this will definitely happen faster than the device itself fails. Although you can drown it even on the first day of use - the moisture protection here is implemented only according to the WR30 standard. This means that the gadget is not afraid of rain - the device is better to remove even before taking a shower, not to mention swimming in the pool.

Not everyone will like only the display used here. It has a diagonal of 0.42 inches. Because of this, only one information is displayed on it - either the pulsometer readings, or the time, or the number of perfect steps. Well, to get acquainted with the results of past workouts offered in a special client application installed on your smartphone. Synchronization with it is carried out using Bluetooth 4.0 LE. It should also be noted that the screen is monochrome. It was created using OLED technology, and it is thanks to this that such a long autonomous work has been achieved.

It is possible to find fault, perhaps, by the time of charging. It reaches exactly three hours. However, this should not be considered a serious drawback, since the connection of a network adapter is rarely required - you do not need to compare a fitness bracelet with a smartphone.

Conclusion

This is the list of the best fitness bracelets among those released by Xiaomi or its subsidiary. Note that our rating may remain relevant for a couple of years. It is difficult to imagine that in the future, Xiaomi will come up with devices in a similar form factor, which will have broader functionality and an incredibly long autonomous operation.
