Battery

Xiaomi has upgraded its battery life for Mi Band 3. Mi Band 3 has an 1100 mAh cell. Its charging is expected to last for 20 days after it has fully charged once. The watch weighs only 8.5 grams.

Mi Band 3 will be launched in China first as per Xiaomi custom. The watch costs around $26 which converts to Rs.3010 PKR. After its launch in China, Mi Band 3 will be available worldwide soon.

Fitness Features

Despite not being very expensive, Mi Band 3 is fit for a good fitness tracker. The band has a heart sensor that will work for the whole day and keep a track of the changes in your heartbeat per minute. You get the real-time stats of your workout on the screen. These features along with the pedometer feature work while running, cycling and walking as well. The band doesn’t have a GPS tracker so it won’t be able to track your location or to give an accurate measurement of your distance traveled.

Mi Band 3 review

The band motivates you by buzzing as you are near to reaching your goals. You can swim with the Mi Band 3 on, however, we don’t know if you will get some swimming stats on the band screen.

In short, the Mi Band 3 is a perfect choice for those who are looking for a fitness teacher but don’t wish to spare money on something as expensive as high-end and branded smartwatches.
