Xiaomi Band 2: Build Quality and Display
Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is not the prettiest smart band in the world. It just looks simple just like a wrist smart band should look like. MiBand 2 is made up of cheap silicon, but it seems sturdy and Solid.
The Mi Band 2 is IP67 water resistant so that it can resist splashes and a little bit dip into the water. This feature is a must in every smart band.
The OLED display on Mi Band 2 is good and vibrant with great visibility outdoors. But it is not a scratch resistant, so you have to be careful about that.

Mi Band 2 is useful and very effective regarding tracking as it tracks you whether you are sleeping or awake. The Module inside Mi Band 2 detects that and is useful for giving you guide about how you are sleeping.
Other features include the alarm where it will vibrate to wake you up. Also, the Step Counting and Heart Rate sensor is useful sometimes because it does not show the most accurate data of your steps and heart beats.

You can also manually track your weight in the new fit bit app.
The Mi Band is great in showing your daily, weekly and monthly activities on a graph. The only thing which is not shown in the graph is the heart rate monitor as it shows only the readings with contexts.

The battery life on Mi Band 2 is great you can easily get up to a week and 2-3 days more of a battery life on a single charge. Of course, the battery life will vary for every person. As per my usage, it was moderate to heavy use with tracking your activities and watching graphical information regularly it last me for a week.
It rivals other wearables in battery life. You won’t complain about the battery life on Mi Band 2.
