design and build quality
Like its competitors, the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 offers a compact and minimalist design. It consists of two parts, one being the strap and the other a small sensor of about 3-4 cm, which is housed in the strap. The strap is made of a silicon-type of material, but has a softer texture than other bands of its kind. The strap latches close quite smoothly, without risk of falling off your wrist.
Unlike some models of FitBit, the sensor slides into the bracelet more simply. So there’s no need to force it in. There are also no problems in removing it for charging with the supplied cable.
At the rear of the sensor is a heart rate monitor, as we saw in the Mi Band 1S. The two pin connectors are used to charge the Mi Band 2 via a USB port.
On the wrist, the Mi Band 2 is a discreet and comfortable device to carry. It’s less bulky than some of its competitors and I personally find it more elegant than the FitBit Flex, which costs about the same.
The Mi Band 2 is also waterproof up to one meter and dust resistant, thanks to its IP67 certification. However, it’s not suitable for swimming sessions.
