With a new OLED screen the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 offers better value than ever. We'd like to see better integration with third-party apps, but at this price the Mi Band 2 is impossible to fault.

I have been rather impressed with Gear4 products. I have been lucky enough to check out a few of their iPhone cases and have always found that they manage a nice balance between being very rugged, but not massively overbuilt.
It's good value for money, sometimes the heart rate monitor feature can be a bit buggy if you don't have it on exactly right. Revising review as of 14/01/2019 as the app now completely fails to accurately track gps and customer service is no helping at all. Essentially making the band useless.
The Xiaomi Mi Band has been an international fitness trackers hit, and for good reason – the range has been so cheap you might as well give them a go, and people have in their millions.
Light; comfortable; Screen + good battery life; Sleep tracking works
Prices vary; hard to get hold of; Still not a reliable tracker; App doesn't motivate
With the Xiaomi's Mi Band 2, the Chinese company updates its original $13 fitness tracker with a slightly more expensive version, adding new features such as an 0.42-inch OLED display and a heart rate sensor. The 149 yuan price, which converts to around $22, £17 or AU$29, is a fraction of what you'd pay for similar products such as the Fitbit Alta...or, even, Fitbit's less-expensive Zip. It's not yet on sale on Xiaomi's US website.
If you just want a basic fitness tracker for walking, the Mi Band 2 does the job fine, but you'll have to look towards more expensive trackers if you want more features.
The Mi Band 2 is absurdly affordable despite packing in a heart rate sensor; sleep tracking; water resistance and a battery life of a week.
The fitness band doesn't offer the exercise tracking that would make it a perfect accessory.
