My personal opinion
My personal opinion about this wareable or physical activity bracelet could not be more positive., and removing the functionality of its sensational heart rate sensor, which is the best functionality that I can find in this Xiaomi Mi Band 1s, its complete sleep quality meter and its smart alarms have ended up enchanting me so much that I go to sleep. every night with the bracelet on to see the results the next morning and have them well saved in my history in the cloud.
In short a sensational quantizer device with very high specs at a price that really seems to me within the reach of practically all economies, so much so that it can become one of the best-selling technological gadgets of the season, and more so if we think that the Christmas holidays are already around the corner.
Better to put MI BAND PULSE, which is the official name, right?
The official name is Xiaomi Mi Band 1s.
Greetings friend.
I tell you, before the doubt that you have experienced on the subject ... "neck" is correct, it is to use the 1S band with a pendant accessory, instead of with the bracelet, ask you to indicate, because it will take the measurements differently ... .
Thanks friend for your note.
A greeting.
Have you checked the reliability of the heart rate meter by comparing it with a chest strap like the Polar or something like that?
These light meters have a reputation for being erratic and inaccurate in their measurements especially when exercising and there are substantial variations.
It is a most reliable meter since I have compared it directly with a Tensiometer of those that take your pulse through the air valve that swells in the arm and there is practically no difference between the two, a difference at most. .
The Polar that you tell me is surely more effective for athletes but it is also much more expensive than these 28 Euros.
Greetings friend.
What a sad analysis. The quality is the same as the previous one? Finally is the application in Spanish?
Fco Javier, if you had seen the video you would have realized that the application I use, based on the original and coming from HTC manía, is fully translated into Spanish.
Greetings friend.
Good morning Francisco. I received my bracelet yesterday and I have been trying to install the app like you did, with running mode etc and there is no way.
Can you help me? It would be nice.
Thank you
where can you buy the 1s? because I can't find any place where they sell it, everything is pre-sale
Where did you buy it or where do they sell it? Has it cost you € 25? where it is?

Does it measure heart rate automatically or do you have to request it to?
If you indicate it in the video I have not been able to see it yet, and I apologize.
A greeting.
You have to urge him to do it from the mobile app, the only function that uses the frequency automatically is in the sleep meter.
Greetings friend
Good Morning. Today the seller answered me. It says that your heart rate only measures it continuously from 22:00 p.m. to 1 hour after you wake up. I need to answer if these measurements, which he does every 2 minutes, are then visible in the application, as in the Fitbit Charge HR. What I don't understand is why it is not measured consistently during the day as the battery would continue to last as long or longer than the Charge HR. I imagine these improvements will come via firmware updates. The accuracy of the measurement compared to Apple Watch is very correct, but not for demanding exercises. If they don't incorporate 24-hour continuous measurement, I think it will be a very weak point to attract buyers. Second-hand you can get the Charge HR for about 80 euros and you ensure this function. Now I think the next step would be a Mi Band with a small monochrome screen that does not harm the battery life much. I am convinced that it will be released in a few months ... it is the logical evolution.
Any link to buy it?
Good,
In the neck it can also be put since there are neck chains.
Hello, is it necessary that it be connected by bluetooth permanently to give the pulse reading?
Good morning,
Could you leave us the link to download the application in Spanish with the pulse measurement function?
In the video you say that you download it from htcmania but I can't find it.
Thank you very much!
Does it have GPS to run? I mean to count time on slopes and others….
It doesn't have GPS, it uses a pedometer to measure distances. Quite a bit that has a heart rate meter taking into account that it is a bracelet that can already be purchased for an amount around € 30. 😉
Could you leave the link of the application?
Thank you
Hello. The website that you recommend to buy the bracelet, Geekbuying, is it reliable? I have found the bracelet also on Amazon but it costs € 50 and I do not understand the price difference. Many thanks. Greetings.
I use the Xiaomi Mi Fit application but I can't get it to register my heart rate cd. I ask it through the application ... I don't know if it will be because I carry it on a Samsung S3 with Android 4.3 ... although the rest are utilities.
Hello… ami m the same thing… have you managed to solve it ??… ..for km say how ??… thanks… greetings
The same thing happened to me too, I downloaded several different applications and I have not managed to get any of them to register my heart rate, from my opinion I think that it has too many features for the price it has ...
You just have to download the official Mi Fit App from the Google Play Store.
Greetings.
Hi, I have a problem, I have changed my mobile and now with a Xiaomi Mi4c the bracelet does not match me (you have to screw it up being the same brand). It turns out that with a BQ aquaris E4 it did match me, but I had the problem that being the 4,5 ”screen you couldn't see the heart rate monitor button. So, any suggestions ???

Xk does not measure heart rate and everything else is fine
I have a week with it, it works great but the iPhone store app does not come with the heart rate meter, someone knows how to get it for android if there is a way but for iOS I still don't know how to help !!!
http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1129483 (in that forum there is information and a way to use the heart sensor in a better way)
I have it bought and working. Although it is true that it is a 30 euro bracelet and if we compare it with a Fitbit or Garmin HR, it loses out, for that price it is the best you can have in wearables of this type.
Well, it seems that Xiaomi's are now going to release a new version of this bracelet, the Xiaomi Mi Band 2, with some improvements and an integrated LCD screen. In case these versions weren't good enough for the price they have ...
