As an afterthought, this four year old Mi Band 3 runs for well over a month between charges. I'm sure it had only a couple of weeks duration when I bought it. The settings from the app have tuned it down from whatever default settings the official Mi Fit app demanded. I may have lost some functionality by ditching Mi Fit but the charge convenience and privacy implications are a definite plus.

From the F-Droid repository if I recall, not the Play Store because that's out of date. Gadget Bridge is open source and doesn't export your statistics or raw data off-site like all the proprietary fitness packages do. https://www.gadgetbridge.org/ has a list of the currently compatible bands. It's the best effort I've found at getting the hardware isolated from the manufacturer's data hoovering. Looking at the display on my phone it says by band has 55% charge, I've managed 1331 steps this morning, I had 7hr 27min sleep last night and it draws graphs and accumulates and averages over calendar days and months.

I just watched the Gadget Show which compared a FitBit with a Xiaomi jobbie and given errors in the heartbeat readings from both (Xiaomi was dire - FitBit just awful) I'm not sure I'll bother.
Cheers for the suggestions though! Tom te tom te tom -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dcglug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: https://www.dcglug.org.uk/faq/
