Xiaomi Smart band 10 introduction

Smartwatches… they come in all shapes and sizes, at different prices and with different features. Today, we got to test the Xiaomi Smart band 10 and find out what it has to offer. What makes it special? Why would you buy another one? Let me start with the packaging and its contents before moving on to the Xiaomi Smart band 10 specifications.

Specifications

Setup &  Use

I found setting up the Xiaomi Smart band 10 quite straightforward. I connected the charging cable and a QR code appeared immediately. I scanned it with my phone to install the Mi Fitness app from the Play Store. So far, so good: no complicated setup. Once the app is installed, you arrive at the home screen:

You now need to sign in to Xiaomi or create a new account. After completing a few steps on your phone, you can add a device from the top-right corner of the app, which connects to the Xiaomi Smart band 10 via Bluetooth. There are a few more steps to sync the device and check for updates. In my case, an update for the Xiaomi Smart band 10 was available straight away. Once syncing and updating are complete, you can customise all sorts of settings, including the look of the display.

The ease of setup gets a thumbs-up from me. The screen is nicely compact and pleasant to use. I also think the brightness is spot on! I used it during workouts too, and the insights you can view afterwards cover the basic data you would expect from any smart band. It can also track your sleep patterns if that interests you.

Here is a quick rundown of the Xiaomi Smart Band 10's features:
Heart rate monitoring
Blood oxygen monitoring
Sleep monitoring

More than 150 sports modes

Battery life can reach 20 days with normal use, though heavier use will reduce that, depending on which features you have enabled. After testing it for a week, I still had around 65% battery remaining. Charging is also incredibly convenient, using a USB connection and a magnetic attachment to the phone. A quick charge and you are ready to go again.

Again, I barely notice the Xiaomi Smart band 10 on my wrist. What a pleasant device! Do you like things simple, compact, effective and packed with features? Then the Xiaomi Smart band 10 could be just right for you. It did not get in the way during workouts either. The app on your phone lets you keep track of your health. You can invite others to competitions, making exercise a shared activity while the challenges encourage you to keep going because you want to win :). More of a cyclist? The app also lets you view your cycling route along with the relevant data.

In short… I am very happy with the Xiaomi Smart band 10 and would recommend it!

Conclusion:

The Xiaomi Smart band 10 costs around EUR 49.95. Personally, I think that gets you a solid smart band made from quality materials, with a comfortable fit, plenty of features and a small but pleasing screen. Looking for a smart band? Look no further: I am confident the Xiaomi Smart band 10 is a great option. Xiaomi has already established a clear presence in the market, and this product shows that the brand has even more to offer in the future!

As far as I am concerned, this is a solid smart band at an “okay” price!
