"So how does the Smart Band 9 differ from a smartwatch? Well, the lines are a little blurred. Basically, it can do all the basic things any smartwatch can do, but without the quality-of-life features found on higher-end smartwatches and without deeper, more personalized data insights. Xiaomi does have a line of smartwatches, after all, and naturally, there is some delineation between the feature sets."
"The Smart Band 9 has the basics covered, though. It's accurate at tracking most physical activities and comes with over 150+ sports modes, heart rate and blood oxygen tracking, stress tracking, and, of course, sleep tracking. Additionally, it pairs with your phone to support the most useful connectivity features, such as notifications for emails, texts, calls, etc. It does not have GPS, however, nor does it feature a mic or a speaker."
"The device also requires some manual tuning that other, more premium devices would probably recognize automatically. By default, many of the continuous monitoring features are switched off. To get the most out of the device, you'll need to manually turn on the features you want. The band coordinates with the Mi Fitness app for Android or iOS for the complete experience. The app is straightforward enough to cover the basics, but it isn't overly comprehensive."
The Xiaomi Smart Band 9 blurs the line between a fitness band and a smartwatch while focusing on core tracking features. The band tracks most physical activities accurately and supports more than 150 sports modes along with heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, and sleep monitoring. The band pairs with a smartphone to display notifications for emails, texts, and calls but lacks GPS, a microphone, and a speaker. Several continuous monitoring features are disabled by default and require manual activation. The Mi Fitness app for Android and iOS provides basic access to tracking metrics in a clean, easy-to-navigate interface.
