I can imagine that it might not live up to the battery life of its predecessor with that tiny screen, but I've still only had to charge it twice since the review from a month ago. Other than that, the band has basically turned into a glorified notification buzzer for me, and thus, battery life is stellar. This might not be as bad when you're out running, but I personally find myself riding the bike much more often and would love to have it just automatically start tracking. I need to approve tracking manually, which is rather dangerous when I'm on my bike in the middle of Berlin traffic. It notifies me whenever it detects a workout, but it doesn't start tracking right then and there. However, I've been annoyed with automatic workout tracking on the Mi Band 6. A display that stretches across the whole shape is much more aesthetically pleasing. In fact, I actually took another look at the Band 6's predecessor, and it's incredible how old-fashioned and straight up ugly it looks with its rectangular screen fitted into the oval front. I've been using the Mi Band 6 on and off for the last month, and my opinion is largely unchanged.
