    Those xioami fitbands are great for the price, if you want basic tracking without needing your phone or just want a really cheap smartwatch that can control music or your cameras shutter.

    But their battery also doesn’t last more than 2 years if you charge it every 3 days. At least the 2 and the 4 died within 2 years for me.

      3 days? I’ve owned the Mi band 1, 2 & 4 (still on my wrist), and only need to charge it once every 20+ days. The only reason I upgraded from the 2nd one was that the LCD was starting to be too dim. Granted, I turn off every tracking feature that I can.
