I usually take off other wearables when I'm at home, but with the Mi Band 6, I can, in fact, wear it almost literally 24 hours a day. I have sensitive skin, Hong Kong is always humid, and sometimes bulkier wearables really get on my nerves when I'm typing on a laptop or in bed. The biggest praise I can give to the Mi Band 6 is that I usually can't wear smartwatches or other tracking bands 24 hours a day. So overall, the Mi Band 6 does a fine job of helping me check my phone less often. The Mi Band 6 also allows direct music control on the wrist, which is a bonus.

Though to be fair, the price difference between a full-fledged smartwatch and something like a Xiaomi Mi Band 6 is large enough that I shouldn't really complain. I enjoy being able to respond to WhatsApp messages directly on my wrist (which I can do on the Apple Watch 6 and Fitbit Sense), so I'm always bummed when these more basic fitness bands don't allow that option.

I can get notifications in a timely manner, but I can't interact with them. As a smart wearable, the Mi Band 6 is okay.
