    Just looking there, seems this deal isn't available anymore or am I mistaken?

    Anyone get theirs delivered yet? Nothing here as of yet, probably another couple of weeks, only down side to ordering from China, such a long wait.

    Does this have a barometer? If so how often does it take a reading?

    Mine has actually landed in Ireland too, hopefully don’t get hit for any charges upon delivery


  • Registered Users Posts: 14 wearypenguin


    Mine is showing as 'delivered' as of yesterday but I haven't received anything - does it just mean it has reached the destination country Ireland(which I can see from the tracking it has) or should I have actually received it? first time using aliexpress so I'm not sure.

    Yeah €26 but I ordered off Amazon a day or two before I saw deal on this thread!


  • Registered Users Posts: 55,445 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Ouch. €26 on a £65 watch? That's harsh....

    I wish I had invested in this! :(
    Had a mi band 2 which I loved and lost it last week. Tempted to buy it for the full price now but on the previous link it's coming up as the global one is $93.99 now. The normal one is coming in at ~ €60.

    Anyone try there's out and would it be worth the full price?


  • Registered Users Posts: 135 ✭✭J@yK@y


    I ordered from geekbuying using the Italy warehouse - arrived via DHL within a few days for about Eur60 including shipping and no chance of customs charge. I have it two weeks and very happy with it, it replaces a Fitbit charge 2 for me and is a big improvement. Still 58% battery after the first charge that only went to 91%.

    I've used it for a few months. It is a glorified fitness tracker rather than a smartwatch but it does that job well. I rarely take it off as it last for ages.

    As mentioned get Amazfit tools to do custom setups like filtering some notifications (Spotify notifications like downloading etc) and you can setup things like pause or next track with button presses. Takes a while to setup the way you like so if you don't want to fiddle don't bother with it. The default software does notifications from some apps but is limited and has/had some bugs. Whatever you've tools doing disable in the mi fit app as it'll send both otherwise.

    I replaced the default band with this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073GRW511/ as the original would trap moisture. There are cheaper variations of this on Amazon but heard of people having the magnet fail on them. This one has been ok for me (need to tighten it occasionally).

    I'd love some more interaction with apps but the battery life is a killer feature (I'm at 49% after 9 days with constant wear, 1 min heart monitor, custom face, and various notifications aimed at it). Was very handy at festivals as I never missed messages from people and could have reminders pop up for bands etc.

    Oh yeah the always on display is a must have for a watch as far as I'm concerned.

    What's the difference between the original link and the "normal" one? Other than the price obviously! I picked an English version one up for 50 quid from another seller

    Mine landed in Ireland last Wednesday but no sign of it getting delivered to me yet, a tad frustrating, not sure why it’s taking so long.


  • Registered Users Posts: 732 ✭✭✭sealgaire


    No sign of at all


  • Registered Users Posts: 14 wearypenguin


    same, been sitting in Thurles since last wednesday also. have followed up with an post but no update thus far. Frustrating!

    Mine shows delivered in Cahir, Tipperary. I live in Leitrim. :confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,374 ✭✭✭Sono


    Wonder what the hell is the hold up, nearly a week in Ireland and no sign is terrible service.


  • Registered Users Posts: 454 ✭✭the goon


    Does anyone have a lead on a current deal for this?

    Full week since landing in Ireland and still nothing, never experienced this before with any package getting delivered, it’s bloody ridiculous
