Yep, I'm that guy. I've been playing the fitness tracker game for the better part of a decade, and while the Mi Bands from Xiaomi have always been about the best choice, there always seems to be some sort of compromise getting a fitness tracker from outside the Samsung ecosystem. I've considered their full blown smart watches so many times, but just have never been able to justify having one, and much prefer the fitness tracker form factor. I was always mixed on the previous Fit 2 for a variety of reasons, but when I saw the 3, I knew I had to give it a try, even though I was already using something slightly bigger, bu similar, the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro, essentially the much bigger brother of the Mi Band 8. The Fit 3 has already impressed me enough to keep from going back to the SB8Pro. Everything looks better and is a better fit as far as functions and GUI. It's even more comfortable than the SB8Pro. I keep all stuff I just don't use "off", and I'm definitely getting between 2 and 3 weeks between charges...and that's with sleep tracking going.
hey,what would you say would be a better choice between the Fit 3 and the xiaomi redmi watch 4? I keep going back and forth and can't decide, I want battery life but I also want extra features and in this price range, I would be open to other model suggestions too.
@@csav1551 I'd say that if you're using a Samsung phone, the Fit 3 would probably be the better experience, but if you have some other Android brand the Xiaomi may be the way to go if you really prefer it's interface and features. Of the Chinese brands, I think Xiaomi is the best for fitness trackers, even though it seems there is always at least on compromise.
I found out that smartwatch is not really for me, and if not for lack of wireless charging I'd pick this band. But I have skin problems when it touches contacts on watches/bands so it's a no for me
it will record the steps and calculate the estimated distance traveled but because it doesn't have GPS, it probably won't give very accurate distance for your run.
