Xiaomi mi band 4

Hello everyone, does anyone have this band? How do you find it regarding step and calorie accuracy? I don't need it to be extra accurate as I just want it for the daily life and the low impact gym time , is it worth it?

I have Honor band 5 , often compared to the band 4, and it's calorie estimate is on the low side for my incline TM walks , compared to online calculators.
Heart rate seems accurate compared to chest strap I use.
Step count accuracy - don't know. I don't walk enough but it is interesting to see different days/weeks totals in the app. Useful for daily comparison
Battery maybe under a week with continuous HR monitoring. Band 4 should be better.
A lot of tech in these little gadgets - I often forget it's a watch as well !

How do you add calories? Do you let it autosync? Or manually enter them?

Sorry but I'm not counting calories so don't know.
If you find out the app it uses then search.
