Looking for a Smart Weight scale, here is the latest one from Xiaomi – the Mi Smart Weight Scale also called the Mi Xiaomi Smart Weight Scale 2. This one is different from the one that I had reviewed earlier. Xiaomi may launch this in India for under Rs. 3000.
The box packing is unique and on the box the specifications as well as the price is clearly mentioned. The price is in Indian rupees – Rs. 2,999 this also means that the Mi Smart Weight Scale will be launched in India pretty soon.
Now since I have reviewed / used the older Mi weight scale, here is the comparison. This new weight scale is more compact, slim and smarter than the older one. There are a lot of difference, on the new Mi Smart weight scale you will need 4 x AAA batteries, whereas on the older Weight scale it could house 4 x AA batteries.
You will need to use the Mi Fit app and then go to add devices and add the Smart Weight Scale. The process is simple, just follow the setps. The unique thing about this Weight machines is it comes with built in Bluetooth and connects with the app. It can track 16 users and keep a record of their weight history.
There is no off / on button, the Mi Scale is always on but goes in standby / power saving mode when not in use. Just step over and it will measure your weight, hold on for few seconds until the lines below the LED display becomes constant. That is when it completes measuring your BMI – you can check the BMI and other (10 body data – Figure, weight, muscle mass, basic metabolism, bone mass, BMI, water, visceral fat, body score, fat rate) health related data from the Mi Fit app.
This new Mi Smart Weight scale is running Bluetooth 4.0, works with Android / iOS platforms and body is made of ABS material. It can measure minimum 5Kg and max 150Kg weight.
An excellent buy if you are planning to get a weight scale, this one is more advanced and it keeps record of you weight history. Also there is no need to use / connect the app before using the weight machine. You can always sync the data later on. This Weight Scale is pretty accurate.

Where to buy?
This Xiaomi Smart Weight Scale will be launched / made available in India petty soon, but in case you cannot wait you can buy from Gearbest website.

Price : USD 44.99 + 20.58 shipping (Priority line) = approx Rs. 4,800
This weight scale when launched in India will be under Rs. 3000 so makes sense to wait.

There is always a catch in importing heavy products from Gearbest. I got my Xiaomi Precise Induction Cooker with a smashed glass top and even got a cut on my finger from it. Now, Gearbest aren’t helping at all. Since, weighing scale too comes with a tempered glass on top, unless packing for transportation is good, one must desist from getting one. One must spend some extra amount to buy shipping insurance, but I am unsure how good that insurance process works out. For me, I got a Rs. 8500 junk.
Gogi Rana
That’s bad, looks like the Precise cooker was dropped by the courier company, which city you got it delivered? Also the new smart weight scale does not have tempered glass on top.
Sandeep
You are absolutely right here, it was probably dropped en route, as the packing doesn’t seem to be banged, there are no crushed parts and the polystyrene packing is also intact. I got it in Shimla.
My experience with first gen weighing machine was flawless, despite skimpy packaging it was delivered fine. Now I am much worried about Amazfit 2, but since it will be light in weight, there might not be any problem.
Only if Gearbest could address my issue I will be might happy.
Thanks for your help.
Gogi Rana
looks difficult, I guess next time take insurance, may be next time if big package then shoot video so you have proof and send to gearbest in case of issue they will look into it. You see when Gearbest packed the product it is in good condition something can happen during shipping. For Amazfit 2 no need to worry, small package, and even if dropped no issues.
Sandeep
Yes, lesson learnt the hard way.
Sandeep
Hi Gogi, Gearbest agreed for replacement/refund, but I need to send my product back. Can you suggest best and cheapest way to send it back please? I have to bear the return cost and can India Post SAL be a good option please?
Gogi Rana
No idea check with gearbest and see.
Sandeep
Thanks

Even sometimes the products are not upto the mark. They are either flawed, damaged, non working or bad in quality.
For example, I have got an
1. Mi Bluetooth receiver which has less sound output,
2. Mini X2T Bluetooth headset with lot of connectivity issues (so many complaints but with good ratings!!!!,fishy hah)
3. Torn anti slip mat
4. Chuwi charger killed my Mi Max battery
5. Non working MHL cable
6. Faulty USB voltage/current detector which fried my Mi band, RedmiNote3 mobile twice

If they want to project more into the market, first they have to launch products with reasonable price ranges (less than 5 to 10 thousand) 👍
If they can launch, will be eagerly waiting for the Wowstick👍👍
Nishad
Price around ₹1999 shall be a good buy
