Both these functions make the Mi Smart Band 5 a thoughtful, personal health assistant on your wrist.

Using Stress Function

Stress psychologically refers to feelings of mental restraint and tension. Appropriate stress can help improve the efficiency of work and study. Excessive stress can cause physical and mental suffering and affect health. Stress monitoring is to help you check how much stress you have, if you are feeling overwhelmed by stress, you need to take the necessary actions to relieve it. You can check your current stress level manually, depending on the level otherwise it will be monitored throughout the day automatically. The stress value is calculated by combining heart rate variability data and stress models, and the results are for reference only.

Measuring stress:

Comfortably tighten the band around your waist, about 1 finger width away from your wrist bone, and hold it still.
To check your Stress status, scroll down the menu on your Mi Smart Band 5 and click Stress.
