Connectivity and Compatibility
The Band offers seamless connectivity with smartphones, allowing users to receive notifications, control music playback, and even find their phone directly from their wrist. The device uses Bluetooth 5.3 technology to establish a reliable connection with compatible devices, ensuring that users stay connected throughout the day.
Compared to previous models, this smart band introduces enhanced connectivity features, such as faster pairing and more stable connections. These improvements significantly enhance the overall user experience and minimize any potential frustrations that may arise from connectivity issues.
NFC Support
Xiaomi has introduced a beautifully designed watch, but there is one drawback in the global edition: it lacks the NFC option. While this could be a dealbreaker for some, it shouldn’t cause significant inconvenience. As long as you’re willing to occasionally retrieve your phone from your pocket and are not too lazy, you’ll be just fine. If you still need NFC, we recommend checking the Chinese edition, which comes with NFC but has some limited language support.
Advanced independent navigation system.
Built-in Precise GNSS 5-Star Positioning
Xiaomi has incorporated a GNSS positioning system into the smart band. This means that the exercise route tracking is more accurate. This feature is specially designed for running activities, but also works perfectly for fast walking. You have two options to utilize this exceptional feature:
- Without relying on a smartphone, a concise map will be generated to showcase the completed workout route.
- Connected to a smartphone – this option is undoubtedly the most precise of the two methods, as it harnesses the power of both the phone’s GPS data and the smart band. In addition, the Mi Fit mobile app offers a more detailed 3D route map for a better user experience.
Option No. 1 has certain limitations that we have noticed. For instance, it is more sensitive to obstructions. Therefore, it is necessary to use it in a completely open area with no proximity to trees, walls, or buildings that could potentially interfere with reception.
