"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."
"In fact, Xiaomi advertises this device as having up to 21 days of battery life on a single charge, although this number decreases depending on the number of metrics you monitor simultaneously. That said, the battery life is still quite impressive, and even with everything turned on, I was able to achieve over a week of continuous monitoring without needing to charge it."
The Smart Band 9 offers a slim design with a 1.62-inch AMOLED display and extensive health-tracking features, including heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, and sleep monitoring plus 150+ sports modes. Xiaomi advertises up to 21 days of battery life on a single charge, with real-world usage still exceeding a week with full monitoring enabled. The band pairs with smartphones for notifications and basic connectivity but lacks GPS, a microphone, and a speaker. The Smart Band 9 performs accurate basic activity tracking while omitting higher-end convenience features and deeper personalized data available on full smartwatches.
