The Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6 activity sensor goes under 30 € at Carrefour, a drop of about 30% on the price usually observed. This is currently our best value for money for small budgets.
The sixth generation of Mi Smart Band activity sensors is enriched with new sports modes and gains a larger screen as well as an SpO2 sensor. Enough to make it a new benchmark in the segment of inexpensive connected bracelets.

Without changing the design, the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6 gains in readability thanks to its larger screen. Even more complete with its SpO2 sensor, it delivers general benefits sufficiently convincing for classic activity monitoring and occasional sport. On the other hand, regular athletes will always go their way, in particular because of the lack of precision of its heart rate monitor.
Strong points
- Great autonomy.
- Good quality Amoled screen.
- Lightweight and discreet.
- SpO2 sensor for the analysis of breathing during sleep.
Weak points
- Inaccurate heart rate monitor.
- Basic design.

The Xiaomi Mi Band 5 does not revolutionize Xiaomi’s range of inexpensive connected bracelets, but it does bring some appreciable improvements. This is the case with the magnetic system which allows the sensor to be recharged without disconnecting it from the bracelet. The Mi Smart Band 5 also offers some new features (remote camera triggering, menstrual monitoring, etc.) and an improved screen. It is unfortunately still not a very convincing bracelet for the practice of intensive sport, mainly because of its basic heart rate monitor. Joggers, cyclists or occasional swimmers will find their account there, but not those who practice regular activities and require great precision.
