Good deal – The Xiaomi Smart Band 7 “4-star” activity sensor at €29.00 (-17%)

Larger screen, increased battery capacity, more activities and training data… the Xiaomi Smart Band always offers a little more with each iteration. This seventh version, however, retains a competitive price.

Elegant with its large Amoled screen and its softened lines, the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 is improving and still represents very good value for money for anyone wishing to benefit from a discreet and relatively complete connected bracelet. If regular athletes will still prefer to turn to a sports watch, occasional athletes, for their part, will appreciate the addition of sports modes and training analysis options.

Strong points

• Beautiful Amoled screen.
• Light and discreet.
• Good autonomy.
• Many activities supported.

Weak points

• No light sensor.
• Improved heart rate measurement.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).

Alternatively

The Xiaomi Mi Band 5 does not revolutionize Xiaomi’s range of low-cost connected bracelets, but it brings some appreciable improvements. This is the case of the magnetic system which allows the sensor to be recharged without detaching it from the bracelet. The Mi Smart Band 5 also offers some new features (remote camera triggering, menstrual tracking, etc.) and an improved screen. Unfortunately, it is still not a very convincing bracelet for intensive sports, mainly due to its basic heart rate monitor. Occasional joggers, cyclists or swimmers will find what they are looking for, but not those who practice regular activities requiring great precision.
