Yesterday finally came the day that many have been waiting for a long time. Xiaomi carried out the presentation of the new model of its star accessory . The Mi Band 7 landed with some features that, despite not being completely innovative, represent an advance of what is already established to offer a more complete experience to the user.
Among the main features that the newly arrived bracelet from the Asian technology giant boasts is a larger screen size, a battery life of approximately 14 days and even up to 120 sports modalities. However, many users are unaware of another aspect that often goes unnoticed.
We are talking about the resistance it presents against water . A quality on which manufacturers are increasingly focusing their efforts so that we do not have to worry when we enter the shower or swim in a pool, as well as stop taking it off every time we are going to carry out any of these activities. That is why it is convenient to specify if the announced Mi Band 7 offers protection against it.
Your Mi Band 7 safe
Water resistance is a property that is almost essential in today’s smart accessories. It is a trait that consumers demand in excess to always keep the watch or bracelet on. However, it is necessary to make a distinction when talking about resistance or impermeability.
A waterproof device shows complete protection and prevents liquid from penetrating inside. On the other hand, that waterproof will be protected under certain conditions such as pressure . This is measured in atmospheres (ATM), which is the unit of measurement used to rate the level of firmness of wearables.
In this case, Xiaomi itself has indicated in its presentation that the Mi Band 7 is accompanied by a 5ATM resistance . This means that the bracelet of the Chinese brand can be inserted and withstand pressure at a depth of 50 meters . However, it is unlikely that you will try to get that low unless you are a professional in the field.
Can you swim with it on?
After the aforementioned, it is clear that there will be no problem in taking a good dip in the pool and even playing sports while it rains. Be careful, because this is not extrapolated to the beach, since the sea salt could penetrate the bracelet and in this case the guarantee would not cover the repair. Likewise, this also happens when showering, since bath gels include substances that are not entirely suitable, although in a reasonable measure there should be no problem.
The figure of 5ATM has been established as the industry standard. You only have to take a look at the market to realize this, so any alternative will probably enjoy this certification. In fact, the two models prior to the Mi Band 7 already had this kind of resistance, which does not seem to be increasing in general, since 50 meters is a lot for the average user.
