I have been using the Mi Band for years which I generally like, although it’s quite a simple device

Got a MiBand as well. Had the first one, then the 3, and now I believe the 5 or 6.

Only replaced them because new wristbands were hard to come by after 2 years respectively, the battery was still going strong.

Now I’ve bought 10 straps right from the start and am only on number 4, another 2 years in. Let’s see if I can beat the battery this time.

wtf do you do to those wristbands?

I take it off for showering and the holes wear out from opening and closing it daily. I know they are waterproof, but don’t want to be wearing anything in the shower.

Either you’re wearing it (way) too tight or it’s cheap garbage. Going through two wristbands per year is not normal.

It’s the latter. The bands on Mi Band watches are always cheap garbage.
