In a new update today, Google fixed the missing actions in the previous one I mentioned 2 days ago.

It appears they simply forgot the FAB (Floating Action Button).
Now this is more usable, with the ability to enter an activity or your weight 😊
This looks so much better than the Mi Band app. Too bad the band can't share data with Google Fit.
+Nikhil M yes it can
+Joaquim Santos you still need the Mi app right?
+François Simond I just saw that and came on here to tell you I found a way to log weight haha
The "Start new activity" action is interesting as well, in order to tell Fit what you're gonna do instead of fixing its guess later.
Did anyone try this one yet?
Edit: it seems to activate high precision tracking even for Walking activity: a lot more power-hungry than the usual way via location history.
Yes you do need the Mi app. The app is passing the data to google fit not the band directly
+Nikhil M yes, the app its what makes the sync between both
+Joaquim Santos I know that. I meant the band can't share data with Google Fit without the Mi app.
+Nikhil M i don't know any product that syncs to Google fit without its own app in between. I don't think that exists,..
