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.

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.

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

My mi band 8 is not "waterproof" afterall
My Mi Band 8 just freaked out after a year + of behaving perfectly. I went cold water swimming and when I got out it was buzzing/vibrating nonstop. It drained the batter by the time I got home. When I went to charge it the buzzing vibrating resumed. I’m wonder now if there is now a leak after seeing

Do y'all think that the mi band 9 active gets updates?
Nope, the "Active" versions in Xiaomi Wereables or just in general, doesn't get updates or gets updates not often. I don't think it will be updated, because even my Mi Band 8 Active didn't get a single update and Xiaomi did an EOL for them. Including Mi Band 8 Pro. The Mi Band 8 doesn't get much upd

Mi Band 8 not turning on
Yeah the mi band 8 is the biggest downgrade in xiaomi history, like it’s glue being weaker than other bands and software failures as well and many bugs were reported and weren’t even fixed, I would rather get the mi band 7 at least it looks better

Just got my first MiBand! Do you think they’d add swimming courses in the future?
I don't know about the courses but just in case, stop swimming with the band on after about 1 year of usage, it may lose its waterproof features. My Mi band 8 lost waterproofing in 8 months and died from water damage.
