      I have a Miband. I like it, though its not as elaborate as a fitbit. No screen, no web interface, and no social aspect. The steps and sleep tracking are great. I haven't paid much attention to the calories, so can't speak to that. The battery lasts 40 days on one charge. I like it enough to have pre-ordered their next model with heart rate sensor, so that says something.

      Im using a misfit shine 'speedo edition', this has prove very accurate in registering my swim laps and my sleep patterns.

      One word of warning, if you are using an android phone or tablet, it will only work on android KitKat minimum, and you must have an active bluetooth.

      I bought it from gearbest.com. They ship out from China, so it took almost 3 weeks for me to get it here in the US. Not sure how long it will be for where you are, but hard to beat for $10. Amazon will likely be quicker if they have local stock.

      HR model preorder

      Just make sure you have a bluetooth-enabled device with either iOS or Android.
