Xiaomi has a series of smart watches and fitness bands. While watches are expected to be used alongside a phone, requiring {{Wplink|Bluetooth}} synchronization therefore activation, fitness bands such as the Mi Band series or Redmi Band series could be expected not being used with a phone for sports functions such as heart rate monitoring, steps counting and more. But they need pairing to be first turned on. Pairing requires installing the Mi Fitness app, agreeing to its terms and services and creating an account in order to use the device. | Xiaomi has a series of smart watches and fitness bands.

=== '''Xiaomi Air Purifier''' === | |||
Xiaomi forces you to buy their proprietary air filter, otherwise the air purifier doesn't work. Wasn't always like that, it came with an update and today you cannot use your air purifier without Xiaomi's original parts. A solution has been proposed [https://www.hackster.io/news/unethical-info-fights-back-against-forced-filter-replacement-with-a-xiaomi-air-purifier-drm-guide-c484be7db7a7 here]. | |||
