The China-made Xiaomi Mi Band easily matches the competition in tracking your steps and sleeping patterns for a fraction of the cost.
The Xiaomi Mi Band is a water-resistant fitness tracker that measures your steps and sleep patterns. It's ridiculously cheap with excellent battery life to boot.
It's only compatible with Android 4.4 devices and the gesture motion to light up the Mi Band's indicator lights can be hard to master. There's no word on iOS compatibility.
At $13, it's really easy to forgive the few flaws the Mi Band has, though getting one will be challenging unless you're in China.

The Xiaomi MiBand certainly isn't going to be for everyone. But it is a fitness band for everyone. Anyone put off by the much higher prices commanded by the likes of Fitbit, Jawbone, Nike et al will immediately have a barrier removed by the MiBand. I...

Fairly accurate activity and sleep tracking Excellent pricing Long battery life Water resistant
Lacks a display Smartphone apps can perform the same functions Alarm feature doesn't work App sign-up process needs improvement
If you are looking for a basic activity and sleep tracker, then the Xiaomi Mi Band does the job very well. We wouldn't recommend it for those who can get by with a smartphone's built-in sensors, as any of the numerous available fitness tracking apps...
