Xiaomi Smart Band 10

Unveiled in June 2025, the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 arrives as a refined yet accessible wearable that cleverly balances upgrades with simplicity. Rather than reinventing the wheel, it evolves what many already loved about its predecessors: a vibrant display, dependable fitness tracking and an impressive stamina for battery life.

Taking centre stage is the generously sized 1.72-inch AMOLED screen, which stretches almost edge-to-edge with ultra-thin 2 mm symmetrical bezels. It supports a 60 Hz refresh rate and peaks at 1500 nits brightness—so it remains crisp and readable even under harsh daylight. The display isn’t just big, it’s bright and smooth, making glancing at notifications, stats or pressing interface buttons feel fluid.

Weight and wearability are just as well considered. The tracker is only 15.95 g without the strap and sits in a sleek sand-blasted aluminium-alloy body, just 10.95 mm thick—light and slim enough that you’ll forget it’s on your wrist. Options exist for subtle personalisation too, including ceramic editions, varied colour trims and an array of quick-release straps made from fluororubber, leather, knitted silk, or even a pearl-chain style meant to be worn as a pendant.

Under the hood, fitness features take a notable leap forward. The Smart Band 10 is loaded with over 150 sports modes, now supplemented with an advanced swimming mode that claims around 96 per cent accuracy for lap counts, thanks to upgraded sensors—and notably, it delivers real-time heart-rate monitoring underwater. Runners can enjoy ten pre-set on-wrist training courses with varying intensity, while VO₂ max, training load, recovery time and sleep analysis—including a 21-day sleep improvement plan—add richness to its health offerings. It also offers all-day monitoring of heart rate, blood oxygen levels, stress, and even menstrual cycle tracking, complete with smart alerts.

One standout addition is heart-rate broadcast—a feature that streams your real-time heart rate via Bluetooth to compatible apps or equipment, like a bike speedometer, giving fitness enthusiasts serious performance data. Meanwhile, personalised sleep guidance developed in collaboration with international sleep authorities means it’s not just counting hours, it’s helping improve rest.

Beyond fitness, intelligence and connectivity edge this band higher. It runs on HyperOS 2, which links neatly with Xiaomi’s ecosystem—letting you control headphones, smart home devices, and media, as well as acting as a phone finder or camera remote. There’s a fun side too, with a huge range of watch faces (even mini-games) and a satisfyingly customisable linear motor for richer haptic feedback.

Battery life is a bona fide strong point. Xiaomi quotes up to 21-day endurance in typical use, and even with Always-On Display turned on, you can expect around nine days—an impressive return for such a bright, capable screen. That means you’re freed from frequent recharging, which in real life is rarely fun.

As for cost, global markets see the Smart Band 10 priced around the entry-level fitness tracker mark, with Australian retail listings suggesting an RRP of roughly A$78. That positions it as one of the most affordable wearables with this feature set, especially given the breadth of its health tracking, customisation options and robust build.

Altogether, the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 upgrades the core strengths of the line with meaningful improvements. Swim-ready lap tracking, guided workouts, ecosystem control and one of the most generous battery promises all arrive in a slim, stylish package—at a price that remains highly accessible.
