Xiaomi just unveiled a brand new wearable device, the Mi Band 2. Despite the name, it’s the company’s third fitness tracking device after the Mi Band and Mi Band Pulse. It track your steps, monitors your heart rate, sleep and features a tiny display. It costs RMB 149, or a little less than $23.
The Mi Band 2 is more expensive than its predecessors, but it’s also a bit fancier. The tiny black-and-white display displays time, your step count, your heart rate, as well as approximative distance and calorie counters. You can also use the device to monitor your sleep.
Xiaomi also borrowed a popular feature. If you’re sitting for too long, the Mi Band 2 will vibrate to remind you that you should move.
And if you have a Xiaomi phone, your phone detects if it is connected to your Mi Band so that you don’t need to type your passcode. If someone steals your phone and the Bluetooth device gets disconnected, the passcode is reactivated. This is a feature that it's predecessors have too.
Today’s new device uses 2nd gen Bluetooth 4.0 to connect to your phone and battery lasts up to 20 days. It is IP67 Certified so it is water-resistant and the silicon bands are replaceable. Xiaomi is going to start selling the device in China on June 7.
