Every fitness device will give you different output (step count), in fact even the same device will give different results every time. It makes no sense comparing two devices for accuracy based on the number of steps it detects.
No fitness device is 100% accurate, so better not look for accuracy, instead use the band for few days for normal usage you will get an idea about the average step count, now use it for few more days and see if the count is somewhat consistent, if yes the device is accurate. Just use the average step count range as the reference point.
Now regarding Yu Fit, the band is good and is giving consistent results; however the YU fit app is unstable and at times it will never sync or might skip the step that was indeed recorded by the band. If the band reading on the OLED display is different from what is shown in the YU fit app then you know there is some issue with the app, but anyway YU fit app is buggy.
Those who are using the YU Fit band, try this – remove the YU fit app/ HealthifyMe and install the Body sensor app. Body Sensor apps is more stable and also gives you option to change the stride. Stride is distance between a single step, this will make the band count more accurate.
The YU fit comes with OLED display and you can view the data without looking at the app. Bluetooth disconnects / reconnects when out / in range and also happens when it is syncing with the app – happened with Yu Fit and Body sensor app, so that is normal. When you open body sensor app it will auto sync with the YU Fit band. When you close the app by tapping the running app button and dragging the body sensor app to right or left to close it, you will find the Bluetooth disconnect lighting up on the band, but after few seconds it will connect again.
I have been checking both the Yu Fit and Mi Band for few days and I found that the YU Fit (with YU fit app) was recording higher number of steps when compared with Mi-Band and YU Fit (with Body sensor) was recoding fewer numbers of steps. The difference however between YU Fit and Mi band was consistent.
When you are walking and using your phone talking to someone i.e. your hand is not oscillating, in such a situation the step count difference is higher between YU Fit and Mi Band, Mi Band is able to record more number of steps.
I have already mentioned in my previous Yu Fit review, it is better to go for the Mi-Band but in case if you have already bought the YU Fit and using it, try switching to Body Sensor app and use it for few days. Leave your feedback below in the comments section.

Gogi Rana Ji,
I tried to pair Mi-Band with my yuphoria mobile . My mobile was not able to detect Mi-band . Please tell me whether Mi-Band is compatible with Yuphoria Mobile.
Hi Gogi bro, here is hopeful information for yu fit pairing issue which may users including me faced.
Just based on inner conscience i had decided to dran yu fit till it is dead. It took 20 days to drain to a level where on tap it wont even have energy to show blank rectangle meaning no energ left. Then i charged it with samsung tab charger to full life and the pairing worked. The code was different this time. Also the ladt 7 days data was synched to phone. I think in my case culprit was yureka charger which got some problem i think and is not able to charge even yureka properly now.
So i advice usets to use the best grade charger and avoid lesser brand ones. Hope many users will be able to solve the issue.
Gogi bro from yesterday my yufit is not Connecting to phone. I had to turned off phone Bluetooth to save battery and after tuning back on it did not synch. I removed the device from yufit and tried to add as new device but that too did not work (moto e). I tried adding it to yureka via yufit app and again no success. The band screen with time shows a cross next to B meaning no Bluetooth signal. But that also happened back when i moved device away from the band.
Do you have any suggestion?
Try unpairing.. removing the yufit from phone bt. Then try connecting again as a new device. Same procedure you followed when setting up the band for the first time.
Thanks for reply. I already tried removing and adding as new device but it did not appear on app. I also downloaded body sensor app and tried to pair but no success. Seems the Bluetooth communication system of the band is somehow not working or got damaged. Some usets returned yufit for the same reason. Wish there was a diagnostic app which could have checked the issue via usb adapter and a laptop.
Seems without Bluetooth it has very good battery backup. I was waiting for battery to drain fully to see if that works, but it is almost 14 days since charge and battery still there. I am wearing 16 hrs a day still battery left.
hmm, looks like the fit BT is not responding.
Gogi ji ram ram.
My yufit band is not pairing with my red mi 1s phone.i press the button on my yufit band for few seconds but it is not pairing with my device, even its not vibrating after few secs.
Is there any problem with my yufit band?
Hi follow this step.
1. Band screen is off.
2. Tap once and lift finger, so that the screen is on.
3. Now tap and hold the button for until you feel it vibrating.
Hi Gogi!!! I am a fan of urs. I work in an Ecommerce and I design troubleshooting guidelines by taking ideas from ur reviews. I have never found any of ur reviews to be biased. I myself am using Yureka after watching ur review and I found this phone amazing for its price.. People will definitely be ur critics.. But I believe u will keep up ur good work for lots of fans like me.. Gud luck
Gogi sir both body sensor or yu fit app is not detecting my yu band plzz tell how to pair, pairing code is visible on band but not on any app
First uninstall YU fit.. then install Body Sensor on your phone. On the band tap and hold the smart button for sometime until it vibrates and enters paring mode then tap pair on the body sensor app and follow the instructions.
Gogi bro, could u help me, i just want this band for time checking,call alert wen im in college. so does it display caller number when receiving call? how abt battery life, how many days it last for one full charge?
If you use Yu Fit with body sensor you will see the caller number. Battery backup is less than 2 weeks. I charged on Monday to 100% and now it is 48%.
Hi Gogi,
I have been using YUFit band for past 2 weeks. One week with Yufit app and the other with bodysensor app. I must say, I find body sensor app to be more accurate and useful in terms of syncing with Yufit band. Steps count is almost accurate. Caller id is a great addition from body sensor. Hope Yufit app does that with future updates. Right now sticking to bodysensor.. Cheers!!
Does yufit band works properly with xiaomi red mi 1s?
Hii Gogi, can you tell me if we can use YU Fit band with Mi Band fit app for the accuracy ?
Both bands are different, the Mi band app will not recognize YU Fit.
