Okay guys here is the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 and Lenovo HW01 fitness band comparison. I have already done review of both these fitness devices and now in this article I have compared the bands so you will know which one is the best.
Xiaomi Mi Band 2 Vs Lenovo HW01 design
Both fitness devices looks different, built and finishing is very good. Lenovo looks more classy but Band 2 is a little slimmer. Both fitness bands come with dedicated touch sensitive button. The button is visible on Mi Band 2 but not on Lenovo HW01.
The strap on the Mi Band 2 is hard compared with Lenovo HW01 – Lenovo fitness band strap is soft. Mi Band 2 is different you can remove the tracker / change the strap when needed. Also to charge Mi Band 2 you need to remove tracker and use the charging adapter.
On the Lenovo HW01 there is no such option. For charging the band there is micro USB port directly built in, just use the cable and charge. The issue on HW01 is that the strap is part of the body. This fitness band is available in full black and full red color options.
Mi Band 2 vs Lenovo HW01
0.42″ OLED | 0.91″ OLED
Bluetooth 4 | Bluetooth 4.2
IP67 (underwater 30 minutes – 1 meter) | IP65 (splash proof)
70 mAh battery | 90 mAh battery
Though both bands are IP67/IP65 certified avoid using it under shower or when swimming.
Xiaomi Mi Band 2 Vs Lenovo HW01 performance
Both bands gave consistent results, they can monitor your physical activities and can continuously monitor heart rate via app. Battery life is almost same, around 15 days. Specs are better on the Lenovo HW01 and the only issue is the strap that is part of the body, if it gets damaged you cannot change it, though the strap is of a good quality and should last for many years.
Also note both these fitness band display is not at all visible under direct sunlight.
Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is available for Rs. 1,999
Lenovo HW01 is available for $25 (Approx Rs. 1,700).

Hi gogi I am college student I want a smart band under 2k I wanted to use it for long use approx 3+ years which band is best?
Gogi Rana
Better go with Mi Band 2, there is no guarantee that the lenovo HW01 strap will last that long, though it should but if it accidentally gets damaged you cannot replace.

Thanks bro ….I heard heart rate sensor is not accurate than Lenovo band is it true? I am totally confused I love the features of lenovo but for long use 😥😔 if u were in my stage wch one would u pick? Thanks for the reply bro
Gogi Rana
Heart rate sensor is accurate, you need to wear it just above the wrist also, take multiple readings and go for average. You know what your normal pulse is at rest, or check it manually then use band to check +/- 5 reading compared with manual is good enough. If reading is too less or more, most likely you are not wearing the band properly or there is sweat on sensor clean it.
