The Xiaomi Smart Band 8 was launched alongside the Xiaomi 13 Ultra earlier this month. The latest fitness tracker from the company is unlike its previous models.
Xiaomi Smart Bands (previously Mi Smart Bands) have historically featured designs that are more functional. But with the Xiaomi Smart Band 8, the brand boldly decided to make the design more fashionable than any other fitness trackers on the market.
The Xiaomi Smart Band 8 comes with a new strap mechanism. Thus, it can be used with a wide variety of unique-looking straps. In fact, users can even wear it as a pendant.
The company showcased a number of first-party accessories during the product announcement. These accessories are now finally on sale in China.
The regular TPU bands and the braided leather straps are priced at ¥39 (~$5) and ¥99 (~$15), respectively. Whereas, hollow bracelet strap, double circle band, and pendant cost ¥149 (~$20).
The hollow bracelet strap designed for women is made of stainless steel and can be availed in either black or white color options. Further, the black and white-colored double circle band uses calfskin, PU leather, and stainless steel.
Finally, the pendant’s back cover is plastic but its head grain is stainless steel. It is fitted with a wax leather rope.
Just like the previous iterations of the Xiaomi Smart Band, the latest 8th gen model should also release outside mainland China in the coming months. However, we are not sure if the aforementioned first-party accessories will be made available.
