Xiaomi Smart Band 9 fitness tracker review - A classic in its ninth edition

[Redaktion]

The Smart Band from Xiaomi—also known as Mi Band—is a typical fitness tracker. Lightweight and slim, it hardly catches the eye. However, the ninth generation is significantly brighter than its predecessor and measures even more accurately. Our review will reveal all the new generation's strengths and weaknesses.

No comment on the accuracy of sleep tracking? 😒 Accuracy of sleep tracking from Smart band 8 onwards has been poor.

As adults it is very difficult to get 2.5 hours of deep sleep though the Smart Band 9 reports such high values.

A long term review would be interesting.
I've tried 2 xiaomi devices and since the new app they regularly fail to sync and discard all data even when failing which means to big gaps.
Sometimes only a factory reset of the band and a repair helps.

I steer clear of xiaomi devices for this reason now which is sad cause I actually like most of their hardware.

Latest band tested was the mi band 8, it has one of these drop outs almost every week, destroying sometimes 2 - 3 days of data.
