After launching the product in China in July, Xiaomi finally announced the global rollout of the Smart Band 7 Pro.
Also known as the Mi Band 7 Pro, the wearable is a little
more smartwatch than fitness tracker. It packs a much larger 1.64-inch AMOLED
screen compared to its namesake, with a revised UI, always-on display
capabilities, and a convenient ambient light sensor that adjusts screen
brightness on the fly.
Its fitness tracking kit includes all-day SpO2 and heart
rate monitoring, built-in GPS that should appeal to runners, and 117 sport
tracking modes that might interest particularly fussy users. There’s also an
on-device running coach which gives users of varying experiences a choice of
ten pre-planned programs to build stamina or improve performance.
Other niceties include a 5ATM water resistance rating for
swimmers and up to 12 days of battery life for those who forget to charge their
band. Those who really push the product can reportedly expect just under a week
of endurance.
The Smart Band 7 Pro is everything Mi Band fans have
clamored for in previous iterations. But all these upgrades come at a steeper
price.
The Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro goes on sale in Europe for €99
(~$97) from the company’s various sales channels. In comparison, you can find
the stock Mi Band 7 for around €55 (~$54). Whether you feel that ~80% premium
is valid, the Smart Band 7 Pro’s price puts it up against the established
competition in the form of the Fitbit Inspire 3.
