How accurate is the step tracking on this watch? I just got the Mi Band 8 and am already a bit weary of the steps being horribly off. I am still testing the watch, but when I went for a 5k step walk with the watch on and a tally device in the other hand to count each step- the watch was always either 200-400 steps behind or just didn't count the steps at all. That being only one test, I'm hoping it was a fluke and will keep testing for the remainder of the week...I know the mi band 8 is only $50, but I was hoping it could at least keep track of steps somewhat reliably.

In the event i return this watch, I would love any suggestions for a watch that could fit these criteria-
$150 or less (pretax of course)
1.4 to 1.8 inch screen (36-46mm)
oled or amoled screen
Reliable step tracking
at least 5 day battery life
GPS is not necessary, but isn't opposed either.

Hello. I open Mi Fitness Bluetooth On I push + and I add SmartBand 8 and sinchronize it, but on my Samsung Galaxy Bluetooth Device List I do not find the Smart Band8 only other devices headphones and my previous Smart Band 6. How to fix the issue do I have to reset SmartBand 8 ? How to connect the Band with Google Fit ?!
