The Redmi Smart Band Pro was launched on Wednesday in India as part of a launch event that also saw the Redmi Note 11 series and the Redmi Smart TV X43. The wearable that was already released in multiple other markets outside of China, comes with a number of compelling specs including a 1.47″ Full AMOLED Display with always-on support.

Starting with the design, the front of the Redmi Smart Band Pro is occupied largely by the relatively large display that’s surrounded by slim bezels. The TPU strap has a matte finish and goes well with the overall “smooth and light weight” fit of the band. Weighing in at just 15g, you can practically wear and forget you’ve got it on.

The 1.47″ display has a max brightness of 450nits, sports a 194×368 resolution, and supports 100% NTSC for lifelike colors. 50+ official band faces mean you can customize its look to your heart’s content.

Over 110 sports modes are offered including basic stuff like outdoor running along with a bunch of other activities. These keep track of burned calories, heart rate changes, and workout durations. The band also comes with support for a couple of additional activities, namely trail running, and yoga.

Other health-related features include 24-hour heart rate monitoring, SpO₂ tracking, sleep quality tracking. Recorded info can be viewed from the band itself or through the Xiaomi Wear app.

The 200 mAh powering the Redmi Smart Band Pro can be filled up through magnetic charging and provides 14 days of usage. This can be extended to 20 days through the power saving mode.

Being rated 5 ATM, the band can go with you anywhere from a cold shower at home to shallow beach water.

The Redmi Smart Band Pro can be purchased for Rs 3,499 from February 14th through mi.com, Mi Home, Amazon India, and authorized retail stores. That pricing is a limited-time offer though, following which it will rise to Rs 3,999.

Redmi became an independent brand in 2019. But only in 2020, we saw the brand entering multiple product categories. One of them was wearable. The company not only released a fitness tracker called Redmi Band but also a smartwatch dubbed as Redmi Watch. A year later, these two products are now about to get a successor in the form of Redmi Smart Band Pro and Redmi Watch 2. Let’s take a look at them one by one, starting with the smartwatch.

Redmi Watch 2

Redmi has confirmed to launch the Redmi Watch 2 on October 28 in China. It will be unveiled alongside the Redmi Note 11 series. So far, we only know a few details about this product.

 For starters, the smartwatch will have a 1.6-inch rectangular AMOLED display with a larger screen-to-body ratio. In comparison, the original Redmi Watch sports a smaller 1.4-inch LCD screen.

Thanks to retailer listings, we also know the colors of this device as well as its price. It will be offered in three hues, namely Elegant Black, Space Blue, and Ivory. As far as price is concerned, it is expected to retail at ¥399 ($63).

Although we are only two days away from the announcement, we still expect the company to shed more details on its second-generation smartwatch in the next few hours. We will update this article if new teasers come up.

For now, going by the specs of the Redmi Watch, we can expect the Redmi Watch 2 to arrive with a customized RTOS, GPS, heart rate sensor, multiple sports modes, sleep monitoring, water resistance, and more.

Redmi Smart Band Pro

Unlike the Redmi Watch 2, we don’t have any official launch date for the Redmi Smart Band Pro. However, a leak by Roland Quandt of WinFuture recently revealed that this wearable will be also going official on October 28 but in Europe instead of China.

Xiaomi released the Redmi Band with a different name in Europe. It is known as Mi Smart Band 4C in the region. Hence, the Redmi Band Pro will be the first Redmi-branded fitness tracker in this part of the world.

As opposed to the original Redmi Band, which looks like a flat Mi Band, the newer Pro model will resemble  HONOR Band 6. It will have a larger rectangular display but the type of panel is not known yet. For those unaware, the older model uses an LCD screen.

Unfortunately, not much else is known about this wearable just like the Redmi Watch 2. As of now, from the renders, we can see that the Redmi Band Pro will have a heart rate sensor and will use a pogo pin charging connector instead of direct USB charging like the Redmi Band.

As far as features are concerned, we can expect the fitness tracker to come with multiple sports modes, water resistance, app notifications, sleep monitoring, and others.

Weirdly, the renders only showcase the product in black color option but the company should sell different colored straps separately.  Having said that, this story will be updated if more leaks and teasers show up in the next few hours ahead of the official launch.
