For the first time since Mi Bands first appeared, the latest version - the Mi band 7 - has become wider, with a unique feature added that allows the ability of an always on, dimmed display of just the time. This reverts to the normal screen again when touched or gestured upward with a slide. Now, it goes without saying, but obviously that comes at significant cost to battery life. Fortunately It can be programmed to turn on and off at any time of the day or night. Expect around ** days of use between charges. So what exactly do we get for all that extra real estate? Well, in terms of actual functions, very little. Nothing has significantly changed from the 6. A few extra exercise choices, sure, but that's about it. Still no GPS, which might disappoint some people, although maybe that's not such a bad thing, given it would mean daily visits to the magnetic charger. Personally, I would still rely on the accurate GPS that's installed in my Mi Phone... Why have 2! No, What show-me have concentrated on this time, is user experience. Icons are now animated, larger and clearer. They also - with the latest update - have the ability to be clicked, and open for a full display or chart. Screens now slide up and down over the top of each other, giving a similar experience to a smartphone. It's all very impressive and lightyears away from previous models. Menus now have the ability to set functions that were only available through the app. These changes are by no means just cosmetic, they're game changing. The band just got a whole lot easier to use! So the big question is; is it really worth the upgrade? For me, it's a resounding 'YES'. Having worn the band for a few days, there's no way I'd want to go back to the 6.
