You can make your pedometer or fitness band distance measurement more accurate by adjusting it for your average stride length or average step length. Fitness monitors usually have a default stride length they use for the distance estimate, with each step assumed to be covering 2.2 feet (26 inches) for women and 2.5 feet (30 inches) for men.Fitness trackers are hugely popular now and they help us to count our steps, measure our heart rates, and record all of our daily activity. Whether you use a smartwatch or a simple fitness band.Wearable Fitness Bands and Hip Pedometers Tested. On their wrists, the test subject wore the three most popular fitness bands: Fitbit Flex, Jawbone UP24, and Nike FuelBand.
On their waistbands, they wore the Yamax Digi-Walker SW-200, which has been used in many pedometer studies and is viewed as highly accurate for research.”Every tracker has methods for eliminating ‘false steps’ and we believe our process is among the most accurate,” said UA R&D. The accelerometer is designed to track “directional movement” of your body — as opposed to just swinging your arms about. It runs the data it collects through algorithms which spit out your daily steps number.The invention of modern gadgets like the Pedometer and fitness trackers has made the task of keeping track of health and fitness super easy.
If you’re concerned about the health and the overall welfare of the elderly members of your family, you should buy them the best fitness trackers for seniors.The “Accuracy of Pedometer” is a very hot debate these days and many people question the accuracy of the pedometer. Just like any other device, Pedometer is not perfect and there is a lot of room for improvement. The good pedometers have the step-count errors of around 10%.
For example, if you walk 100 steps then your pedometer will count.Secure the pedometer to your waistband and reset the counter to zero. Count your steps as you walk and continue at a brisk pace until you reach 50 steps. Look at the pedometer to see how many steps it recorded.
If your pedometer says anywhere from 45 to 55 steps, which is within 10 percent of the actual number, it is considered accurate. Out of Pocket.Some common pedometers are set like this: Press the “Mode” button until you see a reading for your miles traveled. Press “Set.” You will see a default step length setting — usually about 30 in (75 cm).When your fitness band interprets the data from its motion sensors, it is supposed to ignore motions that are not associated with walking.
However, it isn’t always successful.Placing them on your waist will give you the most accurate steps count. Putting them in your pocket might cost them to be less accurate. Overall, if you are just interested in steps counting than a good pedometer is the right choice for you as it is quite accurate and much cheaper than a.The pedometers work by using a pendulum which moves the counter as you move forward or backward, according to the University of Missouri Extension.
Use the provided clip attachment to secure the pedometer to your waistband or belt. Walk for about 20 steps, stop and check the pedometer for accuracy.Pedometer Set Up. Before setting up your pedometer, you will need to calculate your stride by walking 10 steps, measuring the distance with a tape measure, and dividing by 10.
Repeat this process several times to make sure you are walking with your normal stride or it will skew your data. As an example, my normal walking stride is 210” divided by 10 = 21” or 1’-9.” To set up your pedometer.As far as accuracy goes, this pedometer and fitness tracker is pretty good and delivers pretty accurate information for the features that it tracks. Once you get it all set up all of your notifications will come through the device as well, so you don’t have to worry about missing an important call or text. height, and weight. Don’t.
Set the Clock • Press the MODE button until the time is shown on the display. • Hold down the SET button until the hour digits blink, and continue pressing SET to advance to the desired hour.I’m going to do mi band 3 accuracy test covering pedometer accuracy test, bike ride or travel test, heart rate sensor test, sleep tracking test to see the accuracy of the mi band 3 vs mi band 2.

Can you help me?
5 days ago i bought Mi Band 4, and all were good.But now, Mi Band count steps inacurrate.I do 10 steps, and Mi Band count it as 150 steps…
My heart rate measurement doesn’t show on the band, however, I see the reading in the mi fit app when I turn on Automatic heart detection. What could be the problem?
My MI band doesn’t have exercise feature. What should i do??
Thanks for the review. Vi have the same exact poor sleep review results on my miband 4. I won’t be upgrading to this.
So… Which watches have the best sleep tracking and a decent battery? I want accurate deep/light/rem/awake times.
What if my phone is not by my side while i sleep? Will it track it or no?
Do you think that after sometime language could be change to English?
Could you do a quick test to see if it counts even if you don’t swing your arms? I heard from a friend who has an older galaxy watch that it only counted her steps when she swung her arm, so pushing the baby tram negated the step counting… but her phone continued to track steps because it senses the vibrations and maybe the GPS helps too.
A simple reply to this comment would suffice, thanks!
What about outdoor running test? Is the GPS on it accurate to track the miles?
Inaccurate steps count. I wore it at the same time I was wearing a Garmin watch, and had Google Fit on my phone turned on, and Samsung Health. They all have similar figures expect for Mi Band 3 which was 2000 steps behind in an 8000-steps walk. That’s 25% off the mark. Very inaccurate
Best review, and it covers the issues as well, even I am facing the same issue while workout out on freestyle mode. It gives too little calories burnt, can you suggest bro what can be done? Thanks
Can you check if yours has a light bleed where the screen meets the aluminum in the dark please? Mine has this issue it’s my second replacement same issue
Its not that good.. Steps, calories and heart beat count is a lot of times way off, especially calories.
Yo, Bro!! Many thanks for putting yo this video!! I had an old Samsung Galaxy watch (1generation) & felt need to buy a better smart watch. Was torn amongst a few models: Versa 2, Ionic or even Garmin forerunner 245 which is around the same price range as the Active watch 2. But after watching yr video validating the Active 2 as a pretty accurate Step tracker & from other videos on the heart beat & sleep tracker, I dare say my mind is made up…. Kudos for yr great efforts for this video!!!
Can I swim with this? I mean I know it’s waterproof but can I monitor the calories burnt with this?
Hello thank you for informative video! U am choosing between two watches. I need it for daily use and for tracking my hikinh so i
I need built in and accurate gps. Also i gonna use it for daily life so it would great to get notifications frim meesenger etc. Also battery life is important. What would you choose? Amazfit gts or garmin vivoactive 3?
I was wondering if you could like track excercise in the band, and listen music on your phone at the same time even if it’s connected on bluetooth?
Great review. Why dont you compare mi band 4 vs samsung fit.
Can you change the language of the smartwatch to English, even when I buy it in China?
I read you couldn´t change music while using the fitness app on mi band, is it true? You cant swap apps to change the music and then go back
Get that blood pressure checked by a doctor. Is a little high.
Unfortunately, the Active and Active 2 are terrible at counting stairs.
I noticed the numbers were very different even from a different Samsung device. The biggest difference is in the calories burned. I am not the only person with this problem either!
My steps keep on resetting every day? I’m trying to get to 30000 steps by end of week but I’m confused..
Help!
Don’t understand, and it is not due to the accent. Looks like u are assuming the reader already know certain thing which I don’t.
why mi fitness band stop counting foot steps if you wait for few minutes at a place.. It start after few minutes when you walk few seconds?
Dude i have been searching this kind of a detail comperision.Great job man.����
Did I have to take my phone to gym to record exercise with band?
Best review for this issue I have seen. Thanks for the time putting this together
how to use Running mode in mi band 3 without using mi fit app?
Hi. Where in China one can by a global version of it with English language? I’m in Shanghai.
Does the samsung Galaxy watch active 2 fitness tracking is accurate and is the gps accurate
according to the internet you got lucky. I’m surprised it’s within 50% accuracy.
Simple and much useful review, now I can decide which to buy, awesome bro. Thanks keep up your hard work.
Does this work well to track heart rate and calories burned during indoor stationary bike workout?
The only problem with mi band 2 was that it gets scratches easily is this still continues with band 3
Dats for 1day I saved it seen in d phone d details but next excerise mode is not showing on my band y??
Can we sync the exercise data to the phone? Or the Mi App? I tried but couldn’t seems to be able to sync. Thank you.
I have honor band 5 and for example if it shows I walked 5 km during a day it shows I burned 150 kCal, is that accurate?
Have GTS personal activity intelligent or PAI? cause it’s important for me
I have 2 request.
1. Plzz make a steps count test like this video for the galaxy watch.
2. Plzz make a comparison video between the galaxy watch & watch active 2.
Thanks in advance
I’m going to buy it but I’m confused so please say which one I should buy…and from where reply soon ����
What mode do we have to use during heavy workout on Mi band 4 & thanks you, so informative your video was ✔️��❤️
i left when he said a lot of you guys have sending some questions……really grammer mistake in the first line
Dude it measures the calories burnt based on ur heart rate!! And you need to wear the band tightly not so lose! Please get your facts right the right way to use it, don’t act stupid!!
Hats off to you for walking 8000 steps just to make a youtube video!
While watching i wandered that it must be a tech channel with around million subscribers that i missed… But ok u hv a long way to go… Good luck.
One tip: Try to increase the clarity of ur voice/accent by 10% more…
Doesn’t really help me, but thanks anyway. Can I track different activities? Playing football or basketball?
I have a problem with my GTS, it does not count the steps I take at home. My old fitbit was upgrading live each step I took, now I have taken some hundreds seps with breaks and it shows no extra step. Also the calories are really off… Since hoyrs just 13 calories burned ��
Thanks a lot, that’s actually very very helpful! However one experiment that I would have additionally cherished very much would have been a ‘negative control’ Mimic talking virgoursly to people while sitting and see if it counts hand movements as steps, or mimic typing on the keybord for some time and see if it takes them as steps. My Fitbit smartwatch keeps on counting these false positive steps unfortunately.
The Mi Band 4 i have always over counts steps, is there a way to fix that?
Жаль на английском. Про трекр сна в русскоязычном Ютубе нет ничего в обзоре этих часов. Удачи и творческих успехов
Glad that is reasonably accurate but how does it count the steps? I use a walker and my galaxy shows no steps at all, do you have to swing your arms?
Thanks for the review and tests! Now can you do an integration test with Strava or other fitness apps?
@heart rate test. You are doing it by sitting and not moving. clue is that you have to test it when you are moving. Using this kind of funcionality is for active users not sitting and not moving.
Did you run the test based on the workout auto-detection mode or did you manually start the walking mode when you headed out?
Thanks! I’m gonna test out stair count tomorrow with mine. My only complaint so far is sleep tracking is off. Not as bad as galaxy watch but still off. Shows I went to sleep while reading on my phone before I went to sleep lol. About 30 mins early. And shows I only get about 15-20 mins deep sleep. Comparing to Fitbit. My Fitbit shows new going to sleep exact time and about 45 mins-1 1/2 hrs deep sleep. More nights will hopefully correct it though. We’ll see.
Im using the MiBand 3 and i dont know why everytime i take the car to go to work it count about 300 to 500 steps. Is it because i move my hand alot while im driving? (Like changing the gears and music in the radio!!!
Help please
mi band 4 sy blood pressure bi check kia ja sakta hi k nahi?
I don’t know why my mi band 4 is showing fake sleep duration from 6pm to 12:40am, when at that time i wasn’t wearing the band and it was at home..when i came home and connected with the band it’s was showing that I’m sleeping. I tried doing research and i tried editing the time in edit option but nothing helped me.Please help me?
Fantastic Video. Thank you. You could answer every question i Had:)
What about the burnt calories, are they also accurate? Does the watch know indoor cycling too? Do you have to start up each activity to receive statistics or does the watch know itself? Thank you
I am there with you in your journey from 100 subscribers of yours and I am sorry that I saw this video late but I hope I win this giveaway because all the channels say that giveaways going to be there but they just say that for subscribers and I believe in you that you will give it to Me
This is the Mi band 3 accuracy test video showing pedometer, heart rate, sleep tracking accuracy in comparison to the mi band 2 so to give you a better idea of how accurate the mi band 3 is as the successor to the mi band 2. It took a lot of time & effort to make this video so please LIKE the video and also SUBSCRIBE for more:)
Sir heard a lot about battery drain issue on this mi band 3.. What’s ur opinion?
Can you show a video for people who have an iPhone and how it looks set up for fitness, please and thank you ��
Finally somone posts one of these. Goodness i’ve been trying to find one of these videos
Thanks for the nice video! Which armband are you using in the video?
Dear Mr Lim.We have many products, and we want to cooperate with you,this is my watsapp +8618789298931, i am looking forward to hearing from you.
Attention users!! Stop buying mi band 3 from Amazon. Amazon is selling bands with cheap batteries and with fake sensor. Instead buy from mi. com. The message is for you all friends’ benefit only.
So you dont count each step just one of your feet and you double it basically? I was really confused I was like dang your smartwatch is way off
Dude, u r not wearing the band correctly as mentioned in the users manual.
Great video. Congrats. But if you can make a comparison between the GTS and an apple watch or chest heart monitor in high intensity exercises, because it is really in this range that we have the difference in the measurement of the beats. Thank you very much.
I think I’m going to have to take mine back. It seems OK if I’m walking at a high pace, swinging my arms. However, if I’m pottering around the house it doesn’t seem to register anything. I work up this morning and made several trips around the house on only 80 steps. It’s very poor at registering those short walks of less than 20 steps or so but these add up to a lot of steps throughout the day.
هل من مساعدة لتشغيل الانترنيت الواتساب والفايس بوك بالساعة الذكية Q1
And i just realized u r the first in the world that posted youtube video of galaxy watch active 2 step counter test heheh. Congrats for being the first..
How tight I have to wear it? I got Mi band 3. Loose or tight with reddot on arm?
Do you need to activate something on the app for sleep tracking? or is it on automatically?
Not pumby road? ��������. Indian? Concept of not pumby road is very different than my understanding what not pumby road is
Hi Lim, please note if you have a 3rd party megnatic strap then it will interfere the watch’s magnetic compass to work flawlessly. Check and tell me. Regards
The pedometer of mi band 3 not accurate. Just test it with counting the actual spaces you make and the readings. Readings not accurate
I don’t know why my mi band 4 is showing fake sleep duration from 6pm to 12:40am, when at that time i wasn’t wearing the band and it was at home..when i came home and connected with the band it’s was showing that I’m sleeping. I tried doing research and i tried editing the time in edit option but nothing helped me.Please help me?
I want to know the science behind the measurement about the distantance in a fitness band
thanks for the video, but may i know if we in the vehicle the step counter will stop or will counter the step while we driving or in public transport.
Hmm I like this channel very much reacting to public comments and and explained everything breifly thanks mam liked your channel a lot
Did you have to turn anything on for it to record your steps?? I saw the walking green icon?
when you realise you’ve been pronouncing “because” wrong your whole life… Thanks be cows you taught me.. ������
Please can you make a detailed review of new noise colorfit pro fitness band??
Great review! Any chance to do a review for the new Stratos series?
Results will vary.it is advised to wear the band 1cm above the wrist.
But you are wearing one of the band 3cm above your wrist.
Hey there, amazing video!
I would like to ask that can it calculate my calories burned in an hour of weightlifting and HIIT workout?
Im sure running accuracy is worse though. (Edit) i got mine and nah it’s good too
Jab band hath pe nhi hota fir bhi ye hert rate calculate krta h
If you keep Mi band on table and check heartbeat then also it shows reading it means there is fixed programme no actuall heartbeat reading try this
Best Review Ever..Thanks Dude..I think honour band 5 is best
Thanks for doing this. Do you plan to test the accuracy of the Heart Rate monitor and the calories counter?
Bhai body me internal activity hoti hai daily chalna,, sas lena,,bolna,, to usme total 1500 tak calories automatic burn hoti hai,,,esliye bina kuch kiye wo increase ho rhi hai,,,,
If u r traveling by a car it also counts that.. how 2 change that
Nice review what’s the difference between this and the bip does it have all the same built-in sensors ect is it just the build that’s better and less battery life to the bip because off a better quality screen?
I was traveling on a bus and my mi band 4 counted 1500 steps! It’s pretty accurate when tracking actual steps but i don’t know why it does that when I’m traveling. How do i fix this? Could this be fixed in the settings or in th m8 fit app?
2:36 I heard both GTR and GTS somehow struggle with GPS…Maybe they’ll make Amazfit GPS where it’ll work?;-)
For the cycling do u need to keep your phone with you? For speed
Regarding cycling, could you specify if the speed and the trace on maps are accurate as well? As per the GPS, once you do get the signal, does it stay on wherever you go or do you lose it at any points? Thanks
Please make a video about receiving a call notification and messages + replying to the message. Thanks! Btw im with Mate 20 pro and hopefully there shouldnt be any connectivity issues, right?
interesting that you actually tested the heart rate monitor with an actual blood pressure machine! validates the product even more.
Is this Spo2 oxygen the same or better https://bit.ly/2xZJpXP?
Great review and thorough tests. It seems the Huawei band pro 3 is better for sleep tracking.
Kuch bhi? Calories burnt are directly proportional to heart rate
I just brought mi band 4.I manually counted my steps. I walked 50 steps and its showing 93.
But my phone apps its shows missmatch. I m sitting on a table but it counts my step on my phone
the GPS is okay now (after latest firmware update)… the accuracy of the GPS is the same as pairing it with your phone and using the phone’s GPS. It took me less than 15 sec to get my GTS to lock in its’ GPS signal.
I think for better comparison you can do little exercise and do comparison before and after exercise so heart rate variations are bigger.
It was just a comparison with mi band 2 (you did it pretty good though), But HR readings should be compared only to medical HR tracking devices to confirm it’s accuracy. Again, no fitness band in the market is 100% accurate but they should only be compared to medical devices for accuracy.
And please update us with sleep tracking comparison between the two bands.
Is it at least more accurate than Amazfit Bip?
Some have complaints that Amazfit counts steps when you are actually on a transport and heart rate also gets counted even when the watch is not on your hand, so at the end average statistics is messed up.
That’s some high blood pressure, you might want to repeat that or check on that
Amazing band. Hope i could get one of it. When’s the giveaway results coming out?
I am using Mi band 3 for almost a couple of weeks
It is accurate in most of the times and works flawlessly…
Guys few things I wants to share with you that are:
1. Don’t expect too much accuracy in HR sensor because it is budget fitness tracker.
2. It’s battery life is pretty good. It lasts for 10 to 12 days
which is better than even costly fitness tracker from Fitbit and Garmin
3. Pedometer in this is accurate
4. Xiaomi also promised to give some features to Mi band 3 in future updates
Amazing review! Great job explaining everything +superb edits! I had Mi Band 4, but I had difficulties with outdoor cycling. It wouldn’t record ANYTHING if I didn’t start the cycling workout on Mi Fit app.:/ So I gave it to my brother-in-law and switched to second-hand hybrid watch.
Great video!
Can you tell which watchface do you use in this video?:)
Hi, great video, got a question! Does the amazfit GTS recieve complete messages and notifications? If I send you a big text can you see all of it on the watch? thanks
i found that GPS on my GTS has a quite deviation from my phone GPS while tracking my running exercise…
Great review pls can you make a video for the galaxy watch active 2 44mm heart rate accuracy. I.mean by walking and runing. My is pretty bad during runing the heart rate bpm is too high very high compare to my polar chest strap. On polar when the bpm is 130 bpm on the watch active 2 4mm is 160bpm pls help am realy confuse i paid 420euro.
Thanks for Giveaway opportunity
NICE ONE
YOU ARE AWESOME
I JUST WANT TO WIN THIS”
Nice look and great features in mi smart band 4″
havent got of the couch, first day, up to 900 steps. what a joke
I have an Samsung Galaxy Active 2. Very nice watch. Was very excited to wear it to the office where I have a treadmill desk. I actually walk and type all day. My treadmill desk recorded approximately 16,000 steps today that my Galaxy Active 2 did not track. As far as I can tell, if my arms aren’t moving, my watch will not give me any credit for my steps is that really the case OR is there a setting that I have to adjust?
Fix your accent to be better understood. Your films are on high level. It would be pity if someone will skip it because of accent. Happy new year:)
Does the GTS offer a live heart rate monitor during a fitness activity like walking, and warns (e.g. via vibration) you when you reach a specific heart rate area?
My miband 4 turns off when i activate the excersice mode, i dont find any answers online:( please help
Thanks for the post.. can u do basic battery usage test next..?
Very very good review you deserve 1000s of followers. I already have the mi band 4 but may give it back because as a fitness tracker it is so inaccurate but it is cheap it is 1/4 of the price of a fitbit so what do we expect lol
Are madam ji mi band 4 ka reading to zoom karke dikhav ki kitna hai??
Do you have a link, that you bought the bracelet or tell me where i can buy?
Thanks about the review!
How the fuck u Just got so less subscriber u deserve 5m dude
great review! i really like how you pointed out the bad stuff and the good stuff. very valuable in helping me make a purchasing decision.
Bro you did even much better than those with 1 million subs. Just keep up this good work ��
Hey mate I’m facing a few problems with my Amazfit GTS. How often do you receive Agps updates? And what is the frimware version on your GTS? MY Gts seems to measure heart rate even after I left it on the desk…..does it for you too?
So, 10 with thumbs down, people don’t understand the arithmetic?
Best reasonably priced smartwatch out yet! Cannot wait for the Global or International version! ������
Hey can you do a review for Huawei Watch GT 2 also? and compare fitness features to Versa 2 and Active 2 please
Sir please tell me, I shaked my band and it increased step count, is it normal?
I’m was going to the big lit, but the data in the gts is more accurate
Tnx for a nice and clean video. What is your thoughts on misread steps? By that I mean hand movement while sitting still, driving a car etc..
Your in depth video saved my money! Thank you for going the extra mile.
Are the GPS issues because it is in China? The amazfit bip has no issues at all when it comes to GPS tracking in India. If the bip and gts have same issue in China may want to look into it
In the video there was the time and how much kcal for me they put km not kcal I want it so when I walk I could see how much kcal I butmed
And can you also test the vibration motor, is it as loud as the GTR’s?
Thanks a mill for that video! I was so eager to buy it when I realized that it exists and after watching ur test I can peacefully go to bed with mi MiBand4 😉 Although I still miss my Amazfit Bip…
Your heartbeat is varying too much in such short span of time. Is that normal with you?
More important is accurate of tracking GPS, what is the main problem of GTR.
trace on maps are terrible.
You hasn’t show bycicle trace!
Please review samsung fit e too.. thanks for this very comprehensive review.
heart rate sensor on resting is not important. how can it coup with sudden hiit exercise.
How is the battery during exercise mode. It takes up a lot of battery
Hey, thx for your great videos my friend. Did you just test heart rates around 80? It would be nice to know how good a run is measured.
Bad presentation aside, I got what I was looking for. I could find the exercise mode. Thanks!
pedometer? Does it show how much km we ran in how many minutes without using a phone?
Is there a need to carry your phone(paired device) if you will be using the activity tracker?
Amazing results of mi bans 4 in video ������. This is most powerful feature of this watch.☝��������.
Do you know if the alarm vibration it’s strong enough to wake you up?
My mi band3 counts 1000+ steps during my 5km daily commute on bike.
Wrost ever product made by xiaomi. I was just sitting in chair and move my hand mi band 3 is counting as steps.
