The box packing is compact and inside you will get the fitness tracker, band, user manual and charging cable. This Xiaomi Mi Band 3 works with Android and iOS platforms. Unique thing is that it is 5ATM water proof, you can even swim with this band.
Mi Band 3 makes use of Bluetooth 4.2, features a 0.78 inch OLED touch screen, houses a 110 mAh battery and the strap is made of TPU+TPE material. If you look at the design the screen is curvy, comes with integrated button and the screen comes a little out when the strap is attached – check video.
You will need to use the same Mi Fit app to connect. This Band 3 also shows notification (3 pages). You can also get app notification and call notification with caller details. This Xiaomi Mi Band 3 that I got is Chinese version and it will not auto update to English.

Xiaomi Mi Band 3 performance
Band 3 touch response is very good and smooth. It does come with lock screen so you can avoid those accidental touches. There are 3 watch faces you can choose from. This band can keep track of your steps, calories burned, distance traveled and your sleep quality.
There is continuous heart rate sensor, it keeps checking your heart rate every 30 minutes that is default. You can set it to minimum 1 minute, but that will drain a lot of battery juice. With this 30 minutes heart rate setting and occasionally connected to phone via you can get up to 20 days of battery life. It takes up to 1 hour 30 minutes or so to get the band fully charged.
Another really good band that gives consistent results and comes with a budget price tag. Though there are very few additions / feature but really nothing new that will force the Xiaomi Mi band 2 users to jump to the Xiaomi Mi Band 3.
