My first impressions after using the Xiaomi Mi Smart Scale 2 for couple of weeks
There are probably many reviews for the Xiaomi Mi Smart Scale 2 online, but today it is my turn to share my first consumer impressions with this scale.
Xiaomi Mi Smart Scale 2 - first impressions
Well, to be honest this scale exceeded my expectations in regards to looks and build quality. Since I purchased this product for less than $20, I was expecting something that looks and feels a bit cheaper. Despite the low price, the Mi Smart Scale 2 looks very well made, it is sleek and shall I say elegant in some way. My product is entirely white - the front glass part and the rear which is entirely made of white plastic.
The scale looks like it is going to last some time, at least if the internal components work as expected, so my general feedback is quite positive in regards to looks and feel.

Measuring my weight
Measuring on this scale was quite easy. There aren't any on or off buttons that one needs to click on, you just hop on the scale, wait couple of seconds and it shows the (sad) result on the led display (white colored as well) - as simple as that.
Power supply
The scale is powered by 3x 1.5V AAA batteries that should last for plenty of time. But it all depends on how often you like to measure your weight of course.
