My wife has the Mi band 2, anything specific you'd like to know? It seems to be a well made piece of kit and the only concern I'd have would be privacy and how secure the app is that tracks location and sleep patterns.
-
Sleep tracking is a complete waste of time, in my opinion. Most bands simply track movement and heart rate then extrapolate sleep 'data' from that using an algorithm. All it will tell you is what you know already, but the accuracy won't be very good.

I had a MiBand 1 with HRM. It seemed to track sleep pretty accurately and I bought a 3rd party app (Mi Band Tools?) that was pretty useful too. IIRC the dev was trying to get it working with Sleep as Android, which I'd previously used for sleep tracking (leave phone next to you on bed or whatever and it'll wake you up when you're sleeping lightly already).
I stopped wearing the band after a while and stopped paying attention, but short answer, yeah sleep tracking's ok on the miband 1.

There's some discussion here:

It's interesting to look at the data before / after you make changes to your sleep environment.

I have done. Beddit. I stopped. It didn't tell me much. I know when I sleep and when I don't sleep. I'm fairly consistent.

Does anyone here use sleep trackers?
I don't, but I'm interested. My primary requirements would be (1) silent alarm (2) intelligent alarm and (3) sleep tracking (presumably a prerequisite of 2). I use a garmin for sport, and I don't need a fancy smart watch so was wondering about something like a mi band 2.
Does anyone have any feedback / recommendations?
