The functionality is great. The build quality is good and battery life is almost 3 weeks. This is what everybody needs.

Xiaomi is best

Love the watch but box was Torn Apart

Water proof supercool battery backup of 20 days

Battery life is amazing, its almost been 29 days since i first charged it and its at 12% as of writing this review - amazed

I had high hopes based on the reviews here but the watch was shockingly bad in terms of battery life and it's primary function as a wearable. The battery falls rapidly if the screen stays on for a bit dropping a % point per min. While I was setting it up, the watch showed that I burnt 2 calories despite the watch sitting on the bed. The step counts seems fine but can't see how the watch would last more than 3-4 days with normal use. Going to have to return this. A common issue that I have with most wearables on the market is that they force you to sign in and create a profile to be able to use the watch. This is a breach of privacy that is being normalized.

Good

Let’s face it — Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro is a good product overall, but whether it suits you depends entirely on which features matter most to you. I bought it for two main reasons: step tracking (my primary motivation, as it helps keep me active) and simply to tell the time. Technically, I don’t need anything beyond that. While I appreciate the additional features, they’re irrelevant to me — and more importantly, I don’t fully trust their accuracy. The watch looks great, and it’s easy to customise with a range of interchangeable straps. The screen is probably its best feature — bright, sharp, and highly legible. However, the interface isn’t particularly intuitive. I’ve owned several generations of Fitbits, and I can say that even some older models are more user-friendly and functional. My main issue is the inaccuracy of the step count. I tested it using three different methods: an analogue pedometer, an old Fitbit, and manually counting my steps. All three gave consistent results — but the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro consistently under-counted, sometimes by a factor of 2 to 6. It counts well the exercises, but any other "normal" walking is inaccurate. Because of this inconsistency, it becomes very difficult to interpolate or estimate your actual step count with any confidence. The floors climbed data is also inaccurate and unreliable. Another issue: if you forget to synchronise the band before going to bed, the next day’s data will not be synced to Apple Health — where I have over eight years of step-tracking history. This is a serious flaw that should be addressed, especially for users committed to long-term health tracking. Overall, considering its price, the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro is a good device — sleek, affordable, and with a great display. But if accurate step counting is a priority for you, think twice before purchasing it.
