TheXiaomi Mi Band is a wearableactivity tracker produced byXiaomi, unveiled during a Xiaomi launch event on 22 July 2014. This article is mainly about the original Mi Band; later versions have separate articles.
TheMi Band resembles a bracelet in its design, and can be worn on either hand. The band's location can be set using the official Mi Band app calledMi Fit, later replaced byMi Health and subsequently renamed toZepp Life.
The band contains the core tracker which is around 9 mm thick, and 36 mm in length. It is inserted into a TPSiV wristband, which is hypoallergenic and has anti-UV and anti-microbal properties. The tracker is inserted into the charger module, which can be connected to a 5.0 V external power source. It is also called "Xiaomi Fit".
At the time of launch, the only official way to useMi Band was to use the Xiaomi'sMi Fit app although third-party software such asgadgetbridge do exist.
Xiaomi announced the Mi Band 1S, or the Mi Band Pulse, the successor to the Mi Band, on 7 of November 2015. It is almost identical to its predecessor, with the addition of a heart rate sensor on the bottom of the band, making it slightly bulkier at 37 x 13.6 x 9.9mm. The addition of the heart rate sensor seemed to have decreased battery endurance, which claimed to be 30 days of use from one charge.In reality, the battery generally dies by 15 days[citation needed].Heart rate on the 1S is measured on demand, it does not offer continuous monitoring.
Other models followed, with theMi Band 2 in 2016, theMi Band 3, theMi Band 4,[1]Mi Band 5,Mi Band 6,Mi Band 7 andXiaomi Smart Band 8. An app named "Zepp Life", by the manufacturer of the Xiaomi fitness tracking wrist band, is available on theGoogle Play Store.[2] A later application called Mi Health was made available for Xiaomi phones running theMIUI user interface.[3]
Researchers from theUniversity of Toronto found in 2016 that most fitness trackers, including the Xiaomi Mi Band and its app (version 1.6.122), were transmitting a range of personal data, including the email address of the user's contacts, geolocation, the phone's serial number, and information entered by the wearer regarding food intake,menstruation,pregnancy, etc.[4][5] Xiaomi did not indicate how long the company retained user data on its servers after the termination of an account.[5]
