I’ve ordered it on Wednesday and on Friday I’ve already had it. Fair play.

Very happy with how simple it was to place the order, and how quickly it arrived too. A tracking number is provided and emails for how the order will be delivered too. The only thing I have to highlight is that as of now, the varying colours for the wristbands don’t seem to be available just yet. But everything else with the MiBand 5 is as you’d expect.

Quick tracked shipping and well packaged product…very efficient store. The Mi band is an incredible piece of kit for the price. After 24 hours I’m very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend. The only downside I have noticed is that the screen is not easily readable in direct sun-light…but this is a common failing among smartwatch.

My Xiaomi Mi Band 5 arrived in the post just two days after ordering from the Irish site.
I got a text from the delivery company with the delivery timeframe.
It’s my first ever fitness band/digital watch.
I’m very happy with it so far after using for two days.
I’m giving an optimistic 5 star rating, even though I haven’t tried all of the functions yet.
The packaging was nice and minimalist, tiny simple instruction booklet.
The band is surprisingly comfy, light, and doesn’t slip around my wrist or pull my hairs like other watches.
Easy to set up (I’m not very techy). So far all settings and customising has been straight forward to learn, I haven’t got frustrated at all yet!
It’s fun to play around with but also not taking up lots of my time and attention.
It just took a couple of tries and looking at the info on the App and device, to personalise all the menus, functions and display how I wanted it.
There are a decent amount and variety of watch face and notifications options.
I wanted it half as a watch, half activity tracker, and I got a few extras which are handy like weather notifications.
I love that I can choose my favourite watch face and info to be displayed, as well as brightness.
I have it set to turn off the auto-wake function (where you lift your wrist and screen lights up) in the evening so i don’t get distracted by the light every time I lift my hand (I would need to press the home button to see clock face then) so at night the battery is not used as much by the screen.
I love the vibrating alarm for waking up (I would like sleep tracking with the smart wake up alarm at best time for alertness, and I’d like an audible alarm option, I don’t think it has either, but understandable for the price).
I love vibrating reminders for events in the day, and reminder to move if inactive for an hour.
And I can set my own vibrating patterns.
I was happy to track my steps yesterday and I intend to use the activity tracking for the wide range of activities provided. I am hoping this will help motivate me to get back into fitness.
I love that it has a setting for yoga, swimming, skipping rope, and free style (I am curious how this will work to track my unique activities like roller bladeing).
I’m planning to buy bluetooth earbuds to try the music control function with my phone.
I’m looking forward to using the camera phone control option for occasional photos.
Some of these snazzy functions make it feel like a really smart watch.
Overall it’s simple to use, loads of cool functions but not too many. I realistically wouldn’t use tones of extremely smart watch functions out there, so no point wasting money on them. Although I now think I’ll use some like weather!
(I won’t use any phone call, message or social media notifications because I want to get away from distractions and get healthy with this band).
It’s such a neat comfy lightweight package which doesn’t get in my way (except with tight sleeves obviously, but that’s any watch) I was a bit worried about the depth of the face but it’s really fine.
For the price I really feel I’m getting a lot of value already.
I’m not training for anything specific so I’m not worried about 100% accuracy with exercise tracking.
Just looking for motivation, handy notifications and a neat fun watch.
I’m confident I’ve found one for me.
I’ll try to remember to update this review once I try more functions.

The band itself is an excellent purchase.
I haven’t exactly explored all of its functionality yet. However, I must say the screen is a big improvement over the previous version. Love especially, how the weather is displayed.
Love the magnetic charging functionality, a big improvement over what was there before. I love it.
I had concerns over the legitimacy of Xiaomi.ie store, its legit, shipping was as promised, even though I ordered right before bank holiday. Recommend the store and recommend the band.

Basic band. Most band faces are too small to be legible. Notifications are annoying. Worse, the app sync with Google Fit deleted my other activities. Can’t be used as HR monitor in other apps like Adidas Running. I knew it was small and basic, but it’s very disappointing.
