Xiaomi‘s Smart Band 8 fitness trackers have long stood out for their cheap price tags, but the
company has upped the ante in recent years with Smart Band
models. The manufacturer has announced the Smart Band 8 picking up where
last year’s Smart Band 7 Pro left off. You’re looking at a similar design here,
albeit with a slightly larger OLED screen (1.74 inches versus 1.64 inches). You
also still have a metal-coated frame, 5ATM rating, and quick-release straps on
the new model.
Xiaomi has brought
some new features to the table to make use of the larger display, such as a
variety of widgets (e.g. tracking, payments, media playback), an improved UI,
and new watch faces and wallpapers. The Smart Band 8 Pro also brings a larger
battery (190mAh). Xiaomi claims that the new tracker can
therefore last for up to two weeks, or up to six to ten days with the always-on
display enabled.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a fitness tracker without health and fitness features. Fortunately, the new wearable brings features like integrated GPS, over 150 sports modes, the ability to view a replay of your activity overlaid onto a map (e.g. a run), warmup and stretching guidance, and more. Other notable features include heart rate tracking, SpO2 monitoring, sleep/stress tracking, NFC, and smartphone integration.
