The MiFit in Google playstore isn't working well with 3rd parties apps. Get the China Mainland version from Official Mi App Store http://app.mi.com/detail/68548?ref=search It will display in English. I have no idea what's the difference between both version, however i am able to make it work with endomondo.

If you paired your 1s with MiFit at first... endomondo will NOT able to collect the continsouly HR.

I got those tips from some china forums and realized:

Unpair your 1S inside MiFit(play store version)

Uninstall your old MiFit downloaded from playstore.

DL the China ver. of MiFit. Don't launch it... yet !

Turn on Aeroplane mode then turn it off again.

Turn on BT and Scan your 1S in bluetooth setting. Pair it !

Launch Endomondo, scan BT device, pair it. Quit Endomondo.

Turn on GPS & Data/Wifi (internet connection)

Launch MiFit(Mi Store version), pair your 1S.

Click running on the screen(***this is the crucial part, playstore version doesn't have that Start running button***)

Click Start running, you will see MiFit wilil display continous HeartRate.

Now go launch your Endomondo, click start activities, it will show the HeartRate.

Woola ! you've got a working cheap HR to monitor your exercise. :good:

I brought my friend the 1S via taobao.com as a gift @ 12Dec Shopping festival (& i brought a Mi Note Pro too !)(for those who live in N.America, you might try those taobao agent) I live in Hong Kong so i get the wirst band a little quicker.

I don't have the 1S band right now, but i just brought another 1S for myself and will be delievery very soon. I can take more pics and made a better explaination.

I can't guarantee is real-time or medical grade accuracy, but i can CONFIRM is continuously.

The above pic is an old version of MiFit (sorry, pic source was grab from china), the old version has a "Bluetooth Boardcast", once you enable it, 3rd party apps will able to collect the RT/continuously HR.

But this function disappear in recent MiFit apps.

I will help and try to compare the 1S with a Omrom Blood Pressure Monitoring which might has a better heart rate monitoring.

AFAIK, some users in china report the HR it DOES work with Runtastic(which i mainly use for hiking & mountain biking, i'm a active sporter), however my runtastic is a ?????* version, well, you know what i mean....I will give it a try when my own 1S wirst band arrive.

* i am waiting 3 Mar when playstore aniversary price reduction to purchase the full verison:fingers-crossed: Everytime i try to pair inside runtastic, the app will force close.

The 1S wirst band i would give a mark of 60 only in every aspect. Certainly they could make it better(rumors said they are going to launch the 2nd generation of Wrist band.

but when someone like me who just need a cheap HR device for sporting use that will work with android apps and hate to stick a monitor device on the chest or using a chest band(i don't need GPS / clock / read noticfication / voice call / take photos) and compare with those USD250+ smartwatch. The 1S is a very reasonable price of choice to go with.

Stay Tune when my wrist band arrive.:D
