Design
Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro is available in three colors: Moonlight Silver, Rose Gold and Obsidian Black and has a smooth aluminum alloy frame. It is equipped with 2.5D safety glass, which makes the touch smoother and ensures durability of the screen.
The smartwatch has an elegant appearance, a rectangular screen with rounded corners. The quick-release strap system makes it possible to easily and quickly replace the straps to suit any style.
If we compare the new product with the 8 Pro, we can distinguish small differences in the quality of the strap – Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro appeared on the market in more premium materials.
When compared, both models look modern and elegant on the outside, as well as the internal filling and versatility of the smartwatch are pleasing.
Display
The Smart Band 9 Pro tracker has been equipped with a 1.74-inch AMOLED display with a decent brightness of 1,200 nits. The same Smart Band 8 Pro has the same 1.74-inch AMOLED display, but with a brightness of only 600 nits.
Accordingly, in bright, scorching sun, the new 9 Pro will provide better visibility, and the 2.2 mm display edges also improve the screen-to-body ratio. This gives the appearance more attractive and user-friendly.
The Xiaomi Smart Band 8 has more than 16 million colors in its arsenal and a refresh rate of 60 Hz, but the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro benefits from an excellent brightness level.
Functional
I would like to highlight that the 9 Pro smartwatch is equipped with an AFE chip with updated technology, thanks to which the accuracy of monitoring heart rate and blood oxygen levels increases by 15% compared to the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro.
The gadget also has the ability to monitor health around the clock, and many different modes will help the user with this, these modes include: monitoring heart rate, monitoring blood oxygen saturation, stress, and there are even vibration notifications about low oxygen levels.
The modes include advanced sleep tracking. The functionality even includes breathing exercises for stress management and much more. This device is perfect for those who focus on comprehensive and continuous health monitoring.
Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro is also equipped with more than 150 sports modes, plus about ten built-in running routes with varying intensity. The gadget was equipped with an independent GNSS for five-satellite positioning, thanks to which.
Tracking accuracy is increased by 33% compared to Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro. The watch can even track the wrong position when jogging.
When compared, the 8 Pro is also not bad and supports the same number of sports modes and independent GNSS, but it lacks the higher accuracy and advanced sports features found in the 9 Pro.
In terms of all functions and modes, advanced health and sleep monitoring, Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro is the best fitness tracker for athletes and just users who actively monitor their health.
Both models support such standard functions as music control, alarm clock, and reminders. But the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro again surpasses its predecessor and boasts features such as compass functionality, vibration modes, and a new linear motor. Which gives a more comfortable vibration for alerts.
The watch is equipped with improved water resistance, suitable for swimming and water sports with a 5ATM rating.
Offline operation
Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro provides offline operation during normal use for up to 21 days. And this is significantly different from Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro, where offline operation is only 14 days.
When the AOD 9 Pro mode is turned on, it works for 8 days and 10 days in high-load mode, which is very important for those who cannot charge the gadget often.
Conclusions
Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro is a new smartwatch model with increased accuracy for monitoring health, sleep and stress. There are more than 150 sports load modes and about ten running routes in the arsenal. A device with the latest wearable technology, for those who want enhanced features and better performance.
