The Mi Band 8 international edition is finally out, meaning I could test it in even more detail than before, and it might be the device I’d recommend to a select subgroup of my viewers. Depending on when and where you get it, this device will likely set you back somewhere between 40 and 60 dollars, and for that price tag it is pretty impressive. In this video we are going to systematically and scientifically test the heart rate tracking and sleep stage tracking of this budget smartband. So, let’s get to it!
Hello everyone, for those of you that are new to the channel, my name is Rob, and I am a postdoctoral scientist specializing in biological data analysis. In this video, let’s skip any more intro, and get right to the testing. If you want to know more about what this watch can do, just check Xiaomi’s website. And I want to start off with the heart rate tracking accuracy. I tested this on myself during 6 indoor cycling sessions, 13 outdoor bike rides and 4 weight lifting sessions. I want to start off by looking at indoor cycling, since this is one of the easiest exercises for a watch to track.
But, what is my final conclusion on the Mi Band 8. Well, I find this a hard one. Just purely based on the tests that I did, it is not that great. It does a few things well enough, but nothing amazing. However, considering the very low price-tag and the fact that the quality of the screen and build is still very good, I am conflicted. If you just want a basic tracker that can track your heart rate quite accurately when you are not moving too much and will roughly keep track of how much time you spent in bed, then the Mi Band 8 is still a smartband I can recommend, specifically because of the low price-tag. It’s not going to come close to the performance of an Apple Watch or Pixel Watch, but you can buy about 10 Mi Band 8’s for the price of one of those. Just looking at the general sleep and heart rate tracking, I would give the Mi Band 8 2.5 to 3 out of 5 stars.

00:00 🏃 Mi Band 8 International Edition's price ranges between $40 and $60, offering impressive features for the cost. 00:59 🩺 The Mi Band 8 generally shows good agreement with an ECG chest strap for heart rate tracking during indoor cycling, though slight delays in detecting heart rate fluctuations were noted. 03:47 🚴‍♂ The Mi Band 8's performance in heart rate tracking during outdoor cycling is significantly less accurate due to increased wrist tension and movement, resulting in lower correlation. 07:45 🏋‍♂ During weightlifting, the Mi Band 8 struggled to track heart rate accurately due to increased wrist tension, resulting in low correlation and inaccurate readings. 10:47 😴 Sleep stage tracking by the Mi Band 8 had low agreement with an EEG headband, particularly in differentiating deep sleep, light sleep, and REM sleep, making it unreliable for sleep stage tracking. 17:23 🌙 Overall, while suitable for basic heart rate tracking and tracking time spent in bed, the Mi Band 8's sleep stage tracking isn't reliable, receiving a low rating due to discrepancies with reference devices.

I do weight lifting (high amateur level) and my heart rate spikes are taken absolutely fine and the range goes from 90 to 140bpm and slightly more as it should. Honestly looking at his graph low heart rate for this activity I would say that there are "issues" in his testing. Don't know if for his anatomy or placement issues.

Do you think using other software/apps for the sleep tracking may improve the sleep tracking performance? Or do you think it's an issue with the hardware/sensors? It would be cool if you tested some popular alternatives, as a lot of times companies cheap out on the software side of less expensive devices. I do understand though that this would increase the testing time and complexity quite a bit. Nice video either way!

@FrankvanCaspel 5 ай бұрын

Heya Rob! I wonder if you have any information about what the 'stress score' that the Mi Band 8 gives is based on. Is it (only) heart rate variability, and do you know of some way to get HRV-data directly from the band? Update: I asked Xiaomi and they said "The watch evaluates the current stress intensity by comparing the current heart rate variability data with the individual's heart rate variability when sleeping and relaxing. It also takes into account the individual's limb activity tracking to assist in the judgment. When heart rate variability is significantly weakened during low-intensity physical activity, it indicates a higher intensity of mental stress. The watch continuously monitors the pressure value changes throughout the day and displays the current pressure value." No idea how they get to the 'mental' part there, but yeah: it's based on HRV, and there's no way to 'reverse engineer' HRV based on the stress score. I'm hoping for an update that'll allow this.

Hi Rob, when comparing successor watches, it might be a good idea to show the results compared to the highlighted previous models. This device is a very affordable device and quite impressive for the price and though it'll never compare to an expensive watch many will want to know if they should upgrade their previous model to the new. I think another useful item to include in all of your reviews would be to mention the heart rate sample rate. I used a Mi Band years ago and remember it taking a low number of heart rate measurements per minute and this will dramatically affect its ability to keep up with quick heart rate changes. Love your videos!

And your video helped me knowing which one is better for each health features. A few months ago i bought Redmi Watch 3, and while i'm exercising, i often use it with other watch (Ticwatch) or pair it with smartband (Huawei Band 7) to compare the accuracy of the health data (exercise/sleep/gps accuracy etc). I hope maybe you could do a scientific test for the Redmi Watch 3. 😅 Because i think for that price range, it packs quite a lot of features. Anyways,.. Keep doing what you do!

It would be interesting to do some experiments on how much after market band strap replacements change the accuracy. All the high performing watches use are wider displays and straps. Some of the inaccurate readings may be result of just keeping the device in better position more consistently to reduce the false readings more.

The thing with these Chinese branded devices is that in the beginning, at launch, the firmware is always pretty bad. The marketing has a focus on hardware specifications and low price. So development and testing on the algorithm is always lagging behind the launch-schedule. They do improve over time through firmware updates though. Especially with Amazfit, their devices have good hardware but software laks in the beginning. I think that now, after a long time, the results are better than what they were. Not Apple-results, not ever of course, but better than they were at the beginning. I hope they can ever be re-tested. The GTR/GTS 4-series is beautiful and they have such great hardware, hopefully these can be re-tested to see if they improved. Because I think they did.
