Unboxing the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 with a full tour of the fitness tracker features and specs. If you want to keep tabs on your health on a strict budget, the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 could be a great cheap option.
That suppository style design allows you to snap on various straps - leather, stainless steel, fabric etc - as well as a pendant housing to turn this fitness band into a necklace. There's even a running clip accessory, if you want feedback on your posture!
The Xiaomi Smart Band 8 pairs with your phone (Android or iPhone) using Xiaomi's Mi Fitness app. You can customise the watch face and widgets, and that 1.62-inch AMOLED screen is a proper stunner for this budget price. It's a 60Hz display with auto brightness, maxing out at 600 nits.
The Smart Band 8 boasts the usual 24 hour heart rate and SPO2 tracking. And like the Xiaomi smartwatches, you have support for over 150 different kinds of sports tracking. Add in sleep and stress tracking, plus the usual alarms, timers, etc. and up to 16 days of battery life, and the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 is a tempting tracker.

Enjoyed your review! I've had Mi band 3,4,6, and 7. Love them all! ( except for the 6 which failed from water impregnation! But certainly had the best watch faces available ever! ) I primarily control my music with my mi band, take pictures remotely, and track my sleep with it. Love my Mi Bands!!!

Same. I’ve had them all and only the 6 let me down with water, however, hot baths, showers and saunas I’m sure do not help the seal(s). I went back to the 5 and waiting for the 9 as my kids got the 7 and 8 while dad went back to the 5! 5 is basic (for 2024) but I only use it for jump rope, freestyle and and indoor cycling and it’s good enough. Love the bands for what they are! I’m waiting on the 9 ❤ Only downside for me was going from Zepp to MiFitness and the migration. I lost from 2015 to 2019 data which was gutting but most of the had migrated to Apple Health so not alllll was lost. I went back to zepp…

Does it have a Wheelchair activity yet? As a wheelchair user, it's always kind of annoyed m how it'll track something like tug of war, but wasn't able to track rolling. :) It's a frustrating thing, because there's a formula you can use to convert walking miles to rolling miles. it works out that 1 walking calorie = 0.857 rolling calories. So you would just have to modify the walking activity to turn it into a rolling one.

Great review. I've been getting back into wearing proper mechanical watches but I miss the tracking and notification pop ups of a smart band so this seemed like a good option as it looks quite a bit more like a bracelet than a smartwatch (at least if you get the right kind of replacement strap), so it wont look as weird if I wear it with a watch in the other wrist

​@@shaunrichardson2440 If you have a Mi Band 5, 6 or 7, I don't recommend buying it. Because it's not too different in terms of features, just a bigger and brighter screen. But if you don't have one, the Mi Band 8 is very good in its price range, the only comparable good competitor is the Huawei Band 8.
