Quick tour of interfaces


BATTERY LIFE
Claimed 14 days vs 7

PRICE

Fitbit Charge 5 is $123


CONCLUSION
If money is no object, the Fitbit is a better device. On board GPS, ECG, skin temperature monitoring, EDA stress measurements, and NFC contactless payments match up nicely with the cleaner app interface, but at a cost.

If you are on a tighter budget and don’t mind carrying your phone with you, the Mi Band is clearly superior. No app subscriptions, a cheaper band with a larger and brighter display, and tons of aesthetic customization possible. The Mi Band is such an easy recommendation for anyone on the fence about a smartwatch because of it’s friendly price and wide ranging feature set!
