Don't throw away your 1st gen Mi Band, give it to Pokemon Go trainer instead!

Adventure Sync already started months ago, it allows Pokemon Go trainer to sync their steps into Pokemon Go when the game isn’t launched. But u need to walk or run with your phone to let Google Fit to track your steps.

Today I decided to walk with ONLY wearing my 1st generation Mi Band, without bringing out my phone outdoor, to test whether the steps recorded by Mi Band able to sync into Pokemon Go.

After back from the walk, I first open up Mi Fit app to check my steps and activity to make sure my walking is synced from my Mi Band to Mi Fit.

After that I open Google Fit to ensure the Mi Fit data already transfer across to Google Fit.

Only after all the above steps, I start my Pokemon Go.

Well done! The walk with my Mi Band is successfully sync into Pokemon Go.

To ensure the sync is done properly, remember to add your Google Fit account into your Mi Fit app, after that check the Google Fit settings to ensure it show inside the connected apps.

(1st generation Mi Band still the lightest amongst other generations)

As the date I'm writing this, Xiaomi already come out with Mi Band 3. So if you are upgraded from the previous 1st or 2nd generations Mi Band, where did you put your old Mi Bands? Why not just give it to any Pokemon Go trainer. So that they can go out and jog without bringing their phone together. Cheers~
