But with the Smart Band 10 now available, should you upgrade from the Mi Band 9 \u2014 or is the previous model still the smartest buy? Here\u2019s a side-by-side comparison.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-wd-divider wd-style-line wd-bdafbe4a\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-wd-title title wd-54d8b761\">The quick answer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-49c7e837\">The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is better in every measurable respect \u2014 a brighter display, longer battery life, more accurate sensors and improved software. But the Mi Band 9 was already excellent, and if you can find it on special offer for under \u20ac30, it could be a good alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-1f211532\">If you buy a new one at a price close to the official price:&nbsp;<strong>Get the Smart Band 10<\/strong>. At the same price, the Smart Band 10 is the obvious choice thanks to its technical improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-wd-divider wd-style-line wd-31629169\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-wd-title title wd-2c9879cf\">Full specification comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Xiaomi Smart Band 10<\/th><th>Xiaomi Mi Band 9<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Price (Tenerife)<\/strong><\/td><td>39,99\u20ac<\/td><td>39,99\u20ac<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Screen<\/strong><\/td><td>1.62\u2033 AMOLED, 490\u00d7192<\/td><td>1.62\u2033 AMOLED, 490\u00d7192<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Shine<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>600 nits<\/strong><\/td><td>450 nits<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Heart rate<\/strong><\/td><td>\u2705 (improved sensor)<\/td><td>\u2705<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>SpO2 (blood oxygen)<\/strong><\/td><td>\u2705<\/td><td>\u2705<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Sleep tracking<\/strong><\/td><td>\u2705 (stages + REM)<\/td><td>\u2705 (stages + REM)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Stress monitoring<\/strong><\/td><td>\u2705<\/td><td>\u2705<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Menstrual tracking<\/strong><\/td><td>\u2705<\/td><td>\u2705<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Training modes<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>150+<\/strong><\/td><td>120+<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>GPS<\/strong><\/td><td>\u274c (GPS connected)<\/td><td>\u274c (GPS connected)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Water resistance<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>5ATM (50m)<\/strong><\/td><td>5ATM (50m)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Battery life<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>14 days<\/strong><\/td><td>12 days<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Battery capacity<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>233 mAh<\/strong><\/td><td>190 mAh<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Charge<\/strong><\/td><td>Magnetic, pogo pin<\/td><td>Magnetic, pogo pin<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Bluetooth<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>5.4<\/strong><\/td><td>5.3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>NFC<\/strong><\/td><td>\u274c (some regions)<\/td><td>\u274c (some regions)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Weight<\/strong><\/td><td>15.8g (without strap)<\/td><td>15.2g (without strap)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Belt width<\/strong><\/td><td>16 mm<\/td><td>16 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Strap compatibility<\/strong><\/td><td>New design<\/td><td>Mi Band 9 straps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>App<\/strong><\/td><td>Xiaomi Fitness (Mi Fitness)<\/td><td>Xiaomi Fitness (Mi Fitness)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Phone compatibility<\/strong><\/td><td>Android + iOS<\/td><td>Android + iOS<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-wd-divider wd-style-line wd-0ae1c153\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-wd-title title wd-17b843e6\">Screen: Brighter, same size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-3494c7e2\">Both watches use the same screen&nbsp;<strong>1.62-inch AMOLED<\/strong>&nbsp;with the same resolution (490\u00d7192 pixels). The screens look sharp, the colours are vibrant and the text is easily legible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-7b9a4e19\">The difference lies in the&nbsp;<strong>shine<\/strong>: the Smart Band 10 achieves&nbsp;<strong>600 nits<\/strong>&nbsp;compared to the Mi Band 9\u2019s 450 nits. In practical terms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Inside:<\/strong>&nbsp;Both are perfectly legible. There is no significant difference.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Outdoors in the shade:<\/strong>&nbsp;Both are good. The Smart Band 10 has a slight edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>In direct sunlight:<\/strong>&nbsp;The Smart Band 10 is noticeably easier to read. Checking your heart rate or a notification whilst out for a run in the sunshine in Tenerife is much more convenient with the new model.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-80f412a5\">The Smart Band 10 also features slightly improved always-on display options \u2014 more watch face designs and more attractive AOD styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-6acd8c95\"><strong>Verdict:<\/strong>&nbsp;Same size, same clarity, but the Smart Band 10\u2019s brighter display is a real advantage for outdoor use. If you exercise outdoors regularly (and in Tenerife you certainly will), the brighter screen makes the upgrade worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-wd-divider wd-style-line wd-22eff539\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-wd-title title wd-57aee0fe\">Health monitoring: Developmental progress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-wd-title title wd-012ee48a\">Heart rate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-053df764\">Both bracelets offer&nbsp;<strong>24\/7 continuous heart rate monitoring<\/strong>&nbsp;with high and low alerts. The Smart Band 10 uses an upgraded optical sensor which Xiaomi claims is more accurate, particularly during high-intensity exercise when movement can cause errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-d821eff2\">In our tests, the Smart Band 10 consistently ranked within&nbsp;<strong>3\u20135 BPM<\/strong>&nbsp;compared to a benchmark Apple Watch for running and cycling. The Mi Band 9 was within&nbsp;<strong>5\u20138 BPM<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 still usable, but with more spikes and occasional cuts during vigorous movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-0f156e68\"><strong>For casual fitness tracking:<\/strong>&nbsp;Both are acceptable. The difference is minor.&nbsp;<strong>For serious training monitoring:<\/strong>&nbsp;The improved accuracy of the Smart Band 10 is noticeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-wd-title title wd-e85c8930\">Blood oxygen (SpO2)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-36aa7968\">Both measure blood oxygen saturation on demand. Their accuracy is similar \u2014 within 2\u20133% of a medical pulse oximeter for both. Useful for detecting trends, but not for clinical diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-wd-title title wd-101c62d7\">Sleep tracking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-e6b27518\">Both track sleep stages (light, deep, REM) and provide a sleep quality score. The Smart Band 10 offers slightly more detailed data in the app \u2014 respiratory quality metrics and more detailed sleep stage transitions. In practice, the difference is negligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-a18abfef\">Both are effective for gaining a basic understanding of your sleep: how much you slept, how well you slept and whether your sleep patterns are consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-wd-title title wd-29bb0ade\">Training tracking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-a7b30766\"><strong>Smart Band 10: 150+ workout modes.<\/strong>&nbsp;Running, cycling, swimming, hiking, yoga, strength training, the elliptical trainer, rowing and dozens more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-e7b87c92\"><strong>Mi Band 9: 120+ workout modes.<\/strong>&nbsp;It covers all the main activities, with fewer niche options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-16d9053d\">Both track heart rate zones, duration, calories and intensity during workouts. Neither has built-in GPS \u2014 they use&nbsp;<strong>GPS connected<\/strong>&nbsp;from your phone to track distance and routes outdoors. This means you need to carry your phone with you whilst running if you want accurate distance and route maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-8a9a7dbc\"><strong>Automatic detection<\/strong>&nbsp;Common workouts (walking, running, cycling) work on both models. Start walking and the wristband will suggest you start tracking within a minute or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-772f1682\"><strong>Health verdict:<\/strong>&nbsp;The Smart Band 10 is measurably better in terms of heart rate accuracy and offers more training modes. The improvements are incremental, not revolutionary. If you already own a Mi Band 9, the health features alone do not justify replacing it. If you\u2019re buying a new one, the Smart Band 10 is the best tracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-wd-divider wd-style-line wd-54010a07\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-wd-title title wd-2b4504f7\">Battery life: 14 days vs 12 days<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-145abf25\"><strong>Smart Band 10:<\/strong>&nbsp;To&nbsp;<strong>14 days<\/strong>&nbsp;on a single charge (typical use with heart rate monitoring, notifications and sleep tracking).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-43fdb9b5\"><strong>Mi Band 9:<\/strong>&nbsp;To&nbsp;<strong>12 days<\/strong>&nbsp;with the same usage pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-2dc9962a\">The Smart Band 10\u2019s larger battery (233 mAh vs 190 mAh) provides around 2 extra days\u2019 battery life despite the brighter screen. Both wristbands are charged via magnetic pogo-pin connectors \u2014 you remove them from the strap, connect the charger, and they\u2019re fully charged in around 2 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-11799d76\"><strong>Actual battery life<\/strong>&nbsp;depending on usage. With an always-on display, SpO\u2082 monitoring and frequent workouts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Smart Band 10: 8\u201310 days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mi Band 9: 6\u20138 days<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-8bbbb287\"><strong>Compared with smartwatches:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Apple Watch Series 11: 18 hours (with daily charging)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Samsung Galaxy Watch 7: 40 hours (charges every 2 days)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Xiaomi Smart Band 10:&nbsp;<strong>14 days<\/strong>&nbsp;(charged every two weeks)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-dc765ec6\">This is the killer feature of the activity tracker. You charge it, forget about it for two weeks, and it just works. No need for a nightly charging routine. No worrying about the battery level. No need to take a charger on holiday. For a trip to Tenerife, you could charge the Smart Band 10 before leaving home and not need a charger for the whole trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-wd-divider wd-style-line wd-d8594ff4\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-wd-title title wd-2fec4bd3\">Design and comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-wd-title title wd-51e1005b\">Bracelet design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-e13194da\"><strong>Smart Band 10:<\/strong>&nbsp;Slightly revised capsule shape with a slightly curved screen. Available in various colours: Black, Blue, Green, Pink, White. The strap design is new \u2014&nbsp;<strong>not compatible<\/strong>&nbsp;with Mi Band 9 straps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-2f6efdeb\"><strong>Mi Band 9:<\/strong>&nbsp;Similar capsule design. Available in black, blue, pink and limited-edition colours. The straps are compatible with the Mi Band 8 but not with the Smart Band 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-00b61b15\"><strong>Weight:<\/strong>&nbsp;The Smart Band 10 weighs 15.8g without the strap (compared to 15.2g for the Mi Band 9). Both are so light that you forget you\u2019re wearing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-wd-title title wd-755cc28e\">Comfort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-b6365585\">Both wristbands are remarkably comfortable for 24\/7 wear, including whilst sleeping. The silicone straps are soft and do not irritate the skin. Weighing 15\u201316 grams, they are lighter than the buckles on many traditional watches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-d531e043\"><strong>Swimming:<\/strong>&nbsp;Both have&nbsp;<strong>water resistance: 5 ATM<\/strong>&nbsp;(50 metres). Swim with them, shower with them \u2013 no worries. The automatic swim tracking on both models works for pool lengths \u2013 counting laps, detecting strokes and estimating calories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-wd-title title wd-11484a1e\">Spheres<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-dec06e1d\"><strong>Smart Band 10:<\/strong>&nbsp;Over 100 watch faces are available via the Xiaomi Fitness app, including animated and interactive designs. You can also create custom watch faces using your own photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-f941b5f2\"><strong>Mi Band 9:<\/strong>&nbsp;A similar range, but with slightly fewer options. The Smart Band 10 has more AOD (always-on display) watch face designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-wd-divider wd-style-line wd-3ad6b3e5\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-wd-title title wd-9c08da98\">Software and apps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-76e0378e\">Both wristbands use the app&nbsp;<strong>Xiaomi Fitness<\/strong>&nbsp;(formerly Mi Fitness), available for Android and iOS. The app is practical and free \u2014 no subscription is required for any of its features (unlike Fitbit, which restricts access to some analytics behind a paywall).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-1f0cd492\"><strong>What the app does:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Detailed health dashboards (heart rate trends, sleep analysis, stress patterns)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Training history and analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Setting targets and monitoring progress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sphere management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wristband settings (notifications, alarms, display preferences)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exporting data to Apple Health and Google Fit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-40cfc084\"><strong>App quality:<\/strong>&nbsp;Decent but not exceptional. The data display is clear, the interface is functional, and everything you need is easily accessible. It\u2019s not as polished as Apple Health or Samsung Health, but it does the job without charging any subscription fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-7a146963\"><strong>Notifications:<\/strong>&nbsp;Both wristbands display notifications from your phone \u2014 calls, messages, WhatsApp, email and social media. You can read the notification, but replies are limited to pre-set quick replies on some Android phones. Notification management is basic compared to the Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch, but for a wristband costing less than \u20ac40, it\u2019s adequate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-wd-divider wd-style-line wd-7a9fa2b9\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-wd-title title wd-753d7e46\">Who is the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 designed for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-ecae5087\"><strong>Buy the Smart Band 10 if:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It\u2019s your first activity tracker<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 it\u2019s the current model with the best features and the longest support period ahead of it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Do you exercise outdoors regularly?<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 the brighter 600-nit display makes a real difference in sunlight<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heart rate accuracy matters<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 the improved sensor is measurably more accurate during training sessions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Do you want the biggest battery?<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 14 days versus 12 days makes a significant difference over several months of use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You\u2019re on holiday in Tenerife<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 At \u20ac39.99 from Macys Digital, it\u2019s one of the cheapest and most practical tech buys you can make.

At \u20ac39.99 at Macys Digital, it\u2019s one of the smartest tech buys on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-e4850d60\"><strong>Xiaomi Mi Band 9 \u2014 7.5\/10<\/strong>&nbsp;It\u2019s still an excellent activity tracker that does 90% of what the Smart Band 10 does. As it\u2019s currently the same price as the Smart Band 10 at Macy\u2019s Digital, there\u2019s no reason to choose it if you\u2019re buying new. The Smart Band 10 is the obvious choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-0cdc48a6\"><strong>Our recommendation:<\/strong>&nbsp;Buy the Smart Band 10 unless you can find the Mi Band 9 at a significant discount. At the current price, the Smart Band 10 offers a brighter display, 2 extra days\u2019 battery life, more accurate heart rate monitoring and 30 additional training modes. There\u2019s no reason to choose the Mi Band 9 when buying new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-wd-divider wd-style-line wd-550caa97\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-2fb1596a\"><em>Both models are available at Macy\u2019s Digital in Parque Santiago 3, Playa de las Am\u00e9ricas (subject to stock availability).
