Experience of using Xiaomi Mi Band 7

This is not a professional test and review article, just a simple description of my experience after using it for more than a week

Before using the Mi Band 7, I had been using the Mi Band 4 for nearly three years. I felt that it was time to upgrade the device, so I pre-ordered it directly after it was released in June.

Compared with the bracelet 4, the screen size and resolution of the bracelet 7 have made great progress, but on the other hand, the battery life is also in a state of diabetes insipidus. When I use the bracelet 4, I have about 1 I charge it once a month, because I don’t use the message notification and I didn’t turn on the wrist lift display and the always on display function, so I am satisfied with the battery life of the bracelet 4 on this basis, but the battery life of the bracelet 7 under the same settings. It’s still sad, basically, it must be charged for seven days. It may also be because Xiaomi officials believe that charging has become much more convenient since the magnetic charging function was launched, so there is a compromise on battery life.

The other functions are all major upgrades. For me, the only requirement of the bracelet is to check the time occasionally. The rest is used to record my physical condition. Sleep, daily steps, heartbeat and blood oxygen are 4 functions I need all the time, because my routine is not very normal, so I need to keep my body as healthy as possible through reasonable arrangements (although it sounds ridiculous)

I heard that the sports function of this generation is still upgraded. Although I regularly exercise more than three times a week, I always think that the best way to use it is to wear it and forget it, so I will not turn it on.

Compared with the Xiaomi Mi Band 4, which only monitors nighttime sleep, the Mi Band 7 can detect daytime sleep and distinguish between deep sleep, light sleep and rapid eye movement.

On the whole, I am very satisfied with this upgrade except for the battery life of diabetes insipidus. If there are users who are considering starting, they can make decisions according to their personal needs.
