RE: Xiaomi Mi Band 5 Review And Comparison to Mi Band 6

Mi Bands have always had a great reputation.
I stopped upgrading when I purchased the Mi Band 4 three tears ago.
I initially thought I needed to upgrade to the Mi Band 5, but I got to see it used by a friend first and I noticed there wasn't so much I was missing by not upgrading to the Band 5.
I haven't even thought of the Band 6 since it came out, cos my Band 4 pretty does well enough for me. I'm a long distance runner and a cyclist.
The pedometer on the Band 4 is not the best, but it has reasonably accurate readings. The distance measurements are however quite precise.
The Mi Band 4 might still be a good choice if one is one tight budget and not too particular about the new features.

What I love best about the Mi Band series is the ruggedness. I've scratched, dropped, banged, been beaten by rain, with my Mi Band 4 on. I never had to think of even checking it whether it was still working, cos it just keeps working. And the battery is also super solid for 2 weeks on a single charge with the Bluetooth always connected during the day, notifications and pedometer always on.

Thank you for throwing some light on the Band 6!
I might just upgrade when I'm tired of the Band 4.
