They're excellent.
Xaiomi Mi Band. Like a FitBit, but considerably cheaper with considerably better battery life.
Nah, gets your step count up
My GF will be seeing the data, so its on my left wrist

I've had a fitbit flex, a Garmin VivoActive and a Mi Band and the Mi Band is just bad at counting steps. On similar days the Garmin and FitBit would get pretty close, the Mi Band would be short by 1000 or so steps.
In other words, there is a reason they're so cheap

The Chinese government are going to be spying on your movements.
This is true.... as pictured

I've zero interest in counting absolute steps. Anything mounted to your wrists is going to have a margin of error. I use GPS apps for walking and cycling, so the Mi will provide an idea of activity outside of those, and as long as its error amount stays consistent I can compare the data across days fine.
Went for a walk today, Endomondo said 5 miles while Mi counted 4.5 miles of steps.
It's main use for me is to track sleep though.
It's £10, the FitBit and Garmin and others are 10x more expensive. If you want to spend that money on a more expensive way of guessing how far you have walked, be my guest

Really like it, probably the best mouse i have used and i've used quite a few.
It's all plastic, made out of BPT but it doesn't feel slippy.
Has probably the best gaming sensor you can get and sadly not used that often anymore.
Switches feel nice on it, not lose and not too heavy.
Its a nice size too for me, as a hybrid palm/claw grip user.
All in all love it.

Which band is this? The pulse version or the standard one?
They seem to be nearer £25 on amazon
Standard. I couldn't find a Pulse that didn't look dodgy (fakes are rife, do not buy one from eBay, litterallly every single one is a fake).
This is the one I got: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...ds=mi+band&dpPl=1&dpID=41oqSJIotIL&ref=plSrch, as I have Prime and it seems safer than the shops selling them for £10 plus postage.
Xaiomi is a scary large company. 3rd largest smartphone manufacturer in the world (behind Samsung and Apple) and 2nd largest wearables manufactrer behind FitBit. The latter is even more impressive when you realise the Mi Band is the only wearable they make. Yet they are practically unheard of outside of Asia. They sold something like 10 million Mi Bands in 2015.

Heh, Woodies guitar hangers, they're not invisible but they are very unobtrusive compared to most.

Still waiting for mine. But that will be my evening entertainment. Might make me re-read the book when I've finished Ender in Exile.
Prime delivery...
That seems like a really quick release from cinema to bluray!
