CHECK OUT: Redmi Watch 5 Review: Basic Doesn’t Always Mean Inferior
Stylish Design and Build Quality
The Smart Band 9 Pro showcases a sleek aluminum construction, distinguishing it from many budget fitness trackers. Compact in size compared to the Redmi Watch 5, it features a vibrant 1.74-inch AMOLED display that ensures excellent visibility. Plus, with an impressive water resistance rating of 5ATM, this device offers reliable protection against moisture exposure.
User Interaction and Controls
Interestingly, Xiaomi opted out of incorporating a physical button on the Smart Band 9 Pro. This means you’ll need to wake the screen through wrist motions or by tapping on the display itself. If you find yourself with a drained battery, reviving the device can only be done by connecting it to its charger.
Advanced Software Features
This smartwatch is powered by Xiaomi’s Hyper OS and includes an extensive range of fitness tracking capabilities—including step counting, sleep analysis, blood oxygen levels, heart rate monitoring, and support for over 150 different sports activities. The built-in battery boasts a capacity of 350 mAh and promises longevity—providing up to three weeks of use on just one charge, making monthly charging convenient.
Additionally, its compatibility extends across both iOS and Android devices (with Android version 8 or above required). Priced around $75 (when converted), the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro presents an appealing option for those seeking rich features at an accessible price point.
