The Smart Band 7 is one of the smallest and lightest options, making it a great everyday companion that you will mostly not even notice you're wearing. And Apple Watch should also be far out of reach for the Smart Band 7. The Smart Band 7 still can't compete with trackers from Fitbit, though. My heart rate is usually more spot-on during workouts and cycling tours, and sleep tracking got more consistent. However, Xiaomi's manufacturer improves the accuracy with every new model, and during my testing, I can confirm that the Band 7 feels more accurate than its predecessor.

That shouldn't be too surprising, considering how affordable the Mi Bands are.

Xiaomi's fitness bands have historically not been the most accurate, with Mi Bands way too often displaying much lower values than what a chest strap would give you while working out.
