My mi band 8 is not "waterproof" afterall

Same happened to me 4 days ago lol, by the way they aren’t water proof but merely water resistant and if you swam with it, the swift currents in the water gives pressure to the mi band which breaks it resistant and enters the circuits

Original Mi Band 8 Strap after 2 years, in a sleep

2 years is a long time that it lasted for you. My bands usually snapped every single year. Avoid buying the original Mi Band bands since those are more of a crap than the 1€ AliExpress ones.

Dont buy mi band 8

I've had a Mi Band 8 for 2 years and I always bathe with it and I've never had any problems, however, my Mi Band 5's screen came off the capsule.

NEVER let your Mi band 8 drop to 0% and die off

Your custom band is beautiful! My mi band 8 stopped working after less than 6 months of use. =.=

I saw other posts about the Miband 8 sealing issues on this sub. Probably it's a Mi Band 8 issue only, sorry for your bad luck, mate. I think you should get Waterproof Epoxy.

[Challenge] European Accountability Challenge: 19th August 2025

Good morning! Not much to say about yesterday except that my cold got a lot better and that a lot of the weekend/travel/sickness water weight dropped off, went from yesterday's 62.6 to 61.9! So let's talk about fitness watches! I mentioned a couple times that mine started acting up and eventually di

I swam and this happened to my Mi Band 7

Mi bands are not meant to swim in. Paradoxically also a shower can break it. They are only resistant to water but not to all conditions. I have Mi band 8 since day 1 and had also Mi 6 NFC: I wore Mi band 6 NFC all day long, sometimes I took a shower, and after 2 years I used it to go to the beach. I

I made a replacement pin for the Xiaomi Smartband 9's strap

I had a similar one in the 8 active for over a year and is still fine :P This is the smartband used by my brother. Here my previous post and you can see the diameter of the pin is similar, only a bit smaller on the 9: https://www.reddit.com/r/functionalprint/comments/1fsf54f/lost_the_locking_pin_of_my_xia

How to check if he's selling an original and not a lemon Mib6

A Mi Band 8 era frágil no limite. A Mi Band 4/5/6 eram feitas de ódio solidificado. Era difícil sequer arranhar. Então, eu olharia a integridade geral do dispositivo e quanto tempo a bateria dura, não se tem alguma coisa que não está funcionando. Mas vale perguntar ao vendedor e pedir uma foto dos s
