Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Review: What will make it your next favorite smart watch? 

Xiaomi, leading consumer electronics and smart manufacturing company, releases another smart watch where innovative health monitoring meets an even more fashion forward look, the new XIAOMI SMART BAND 10.

The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 takes into mind both the needs of the health-conscious users, with the valuable features of its health monitoring system; and the fashionista, who loves to embrace the latest fashion trends.

But what makes the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 your next favorite fitness wearable?

THE DESIGN

  • The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Body

The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 comes in three colors:

Midnight Black: I chose the Midnight Black color because I feel that I can wear it from fitness to work then to party. With black being easily paired with any attire, it is the obvious choice for me.

Glacier Silver and Mystic Rose: These colors clearly come close to second and I love how they instantly become a conversation piece with these eye-catching colors.

I learned that the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is also introducing a Ceramic Edition with a new sleek ceramic frame, complemented by a matching ceramic clasp and a white fluororubber strap that exudes a refined, tactile elegance. This means that the frame is high scratch resistant and lightweight while the strap feels premium and can handle rough conditions and frequent outdoor use. Would love to definitely experience this version.

And this is what I am excited about, the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 also let you style in seconds with their quick-release strap. They have six all-new straps that you can choose depending on your style:

    • Xiaomi Silk Knitted Strap
    • Xiaomi Smart Band Pearl-chain Pendant
    • Xiaomi Leather Strap
    • Xiaomi Asymmetrical Metal Strap
    • Xiaomi Magnetic Strap
    • Xiaomi Fluororubber Multi-color Strap

  • The 1.72-inch AMOLED display

Compared to its previous design, I love that the screen looks larger because it now has a thinner frame or bezel. According to specs, this smart band has 2.0mm ultra-thin bezels, expanding screen-to-body ratio from 66% to 73%. The previous Smart Band 9 has a 1.62-inch display and yes that is why it means more screen area to watch and enjoy the features.

  • 1500 nits HBM brightness

The Smart Band 9 has 1200 nits, so now that the Smart Band 10 has 1500 nits, it makes it even more suitable for bright rooms or outdoor settings, I don't even need to hide under the sun or cover the watch just to tell the time.

Btw, NIT refers to level of luminance or brightness. The 1500 nits means it is the maximum brightness that the screen can provide in a strong light environment. According to what I've read, for a watch display to be clearly visible in direct sunlight, it typically needs a brightness of at least 1,000 nits and clearly the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 delivers.

THE HEALTH and FITNESS FEATURES

Here are some of the health features that I find useful but you can visit their website, explore and research about the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 to know more about its so many features.

  • 150+ FITNESS MODES

I am not a health buff but I can play a lot of sports and do different activities like swimming, volleyball, bowling, badminton, fun marathons, jogging, and dancing among others and I would love a smart watch that can keep up and the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is definitely that.

Whether you're cycling, running or swimming, Smart Band 10 keeps tracks of metrics like VO₂ max or the maximum amount of oxygen our body uses per minute, a measure of our body's ability to consume oxygen during exercise. This is literally unknown to me before but had to do research and now that I can check on it on my Xiaomi Smart Band 10, I would know how to maintain or improve it. 

Check on the other supported metrics that can help you optimize your workout performance.

  • ALL-DAY HEART RATE MONITORING

This is essential nowadays especially in a stressful work environment where a heart monitor or blood pressure machine isn't available. It has an AI-enhanced stroke recognition technology even when swimming! The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 detects real-time heart rate data, which can even be transmitted via Bluetooth to a speedometer for precise tracking, this is helpful especially for athletes who undergo scientifically-driven workouts.

  • 5ATM WATER RESISTANCE

A 5ATM rating means a watch can withstand the pressure of being submerged of up to 50 meters, but this doesn't mean it's suitable for swimming at that depth. At least I don't have to worry on water splashes and even when showering or swimming in shallow water.

  • STRESS MONITORING

The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 monitors stress levels and provides prompts to relax during extended periods of high stress. This is needed now because we all live in a fast-phased environment and you need to slow down at times to be able to take care of your health.

  • SLEEP TRACKING

It provides comprehensive sleep analysis, including sleep stages and daily sleep quality reports. With a lot of less time sleeping (It took me only 5 hours and 42 mins from my actual sleep), this is important to me because it acts as a reminder that I need to sleep and rest more.

  • FEMALE HEALTH MONITORING 

The band can track and predict menstrual cycles. This is actually cool for women who don't have the time to track their monthly visits.  

OTHER AMAZING FEATURES

  • LONG BATTERY LIFE

Offers a 21-day battery life in typical usage, 9 days in AOD mode, and 8 days in heavy load mode. This means I have an energy-efficient smart watch that I don't have to charge too often giving me more time to use it. 

  • CUSTOMIZABLE DISPLAY

The display brightness is adjustable, and the band supports an always-on display option. I also love how you can change the face of thw watch without buying a new watch. You can personalize the Band Display to a cover that matches your fashion sense or mood. 

  • MUSIC AND CAMERA CONTROL

I love that when your phone is not with me, I can still control music playback and remotely take photos with my phone using my Xiaomi Smart Band 10!

  • PHONE FINDER

If I have misplaced my phone, I may now use my Xiaomi Smart Band 10 to help me locate my phone.

  • NOTIFICATIONS AND REMINDERS

Tha Xiaomi Smart Band 10 displays app notifications and provides reminders for standing up after prolonged periods of inactivity.

  • WIDGETS

It offers various widgets for quick access to information like sports data, heart rate, weather, and sleep.

  • COMPATIBLE WITH ANDROID AND IOS

The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 works with both Android and iOS devices.

THE PRICE

If these features haven't caught your attention yet, I believe that this would. The biggest thing I liked about the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is it's price, for just Php 2,499! An affordable smart band with an amazing set of powerful features often found in much pricier devices.

The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is not ony fit in style but also a pro-level fitness companion that empowers you to take control of your well-being. 

Whether you’re a fashionista looking for a wearable that completely blends fashionable design and next level innovation in smart watches, a person who wants to track or improve different health signs even on-the-go, a person who would love to start their fitness journey, or a person who loves to keep up with wearable technology, then the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is the way to go, it will be your next fave fitness smart watch soon enough.
