That means you’re getting an accomplished fitness tracker that doesn’t cost too much.

These are all issues I reported in my review of the first band, and theyre back here.

However, at the time of writing, these arent for sale in the UK.

That is to say, its a standard fitness tracker thats been scaled up a notch.

As you’re free to see in the images, I used the latter.

The body itself measures 43.3 x 32.5 x 10.8mm, not including the band, and weighs 24.5g.

In fact, I found it just as comfortable as any other tracker Ive used.

Next, we come to the screen, the biggest change over the standard Band 9 (literally).

It measures 1.74 inches diagonally, and like the body, its wider and shorter than its sibling.

That would put the battery life at closer to 24 days although your mileage will vary.

Charging is done with a proprietary charger that plugs into any USB port.

A few of them have more information though, with some like running and cycling using GPS.

According to Xiaomi, the sleep tracking has seen an upgrade in the Band 9 Pro.

Both my most prominent examples come from the bands otherwise effective notification handling.

Buttons overall are naturally a lot bigger, which is a great accessibility win.

More features come from the tie-in Mi Fitness app, which you download on your phone.

If thats you, step right up!

Youll need to buy a smartwatch if you want to do away with the phone.
