It’s been a while since I told you about my experience using the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 to track my running during the Xiaomi POP Run 2023. Now, I’m back to give you another exciting update and review. As a content creator and fitness fanatic who is frequently on the go, I’m always on the lookout for a fitness tracker that works smoothly with my active lifestyle. The Xiaomi Smart Band 8 PRO appears to meet these requirements.
Here’s the complete pack of the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 PRO.
Firstly, I wanted to have a larger smartwatch display, and the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 PRO didn’t disappoint. The 1.74″ large AMOLED display with a 73% screen-to-body ratio makes it easy to glance at notifications and track fitness data, crucial for staying connected and informed while juggling content creation and workouts.
The lightweight design (22.5g) and slim body (9.99mm) ensure comfortable wearability during various activities, even while traveling.
Resolution: 336 × 480 pixels, 336 PPI

Speaking of travel, I’m currently here in Ilocos Sur for another trip with blogger friends, and man, I have not charged this Band 8 Pro since I left Manila.
This Xiaomoi Smart Band 8 PRO prides itself on its 14-day battery life. Wow! The 14-day battery life is a game-changer, eliminating the need for frequent charging, especially in unfamiliar locations. And its 5ATM water resistance means I can worry less about damaging it during sweaty workouts or unexpected rain showers.
Here are some energy related performances.
Battery type: Lithium-ion polymer battery

Also, my favorites are its latest health monitoring features! The upgraded health monitoring features are also a big plus. From sleep tracking to heart rate monitoring, I can stay mindful of my well-being throughout the day, ensuring I’m in top shape to create engaging content and conquer fitness goals.
The Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro offers sports tracking at the professional level. Even if your primary reason for purchasing is to have a stylish smart watch, running enthusiasts can choose their preferred running pace before starting a run with the help of the smart running function, which provides pace reminders to help them stay on course.
Additionally, 10 on-wrist running courses are included with the gadget, providing users with clear, scientific running instructions while working out. To further ensure that you are better prepared for the next activity, the integrated 3D exercise animation provides clear visual direction as you walk through your warm-up and stretching before exercising. This is way above my expectations.
But what truly stands out for me is the support for 150+ sports modes and the built-in GNSS with running courses. Whether hitting the gym, going for a run, or exploring a new city by foot, the Smart Band 8 PRO can track my progress and even suggest running routes, even while traveling, turning any journey into a potential training opportunity.
5ATM Water Resistance. For those of you asking, 5ATM indicates a device can withstand pressure equivalent to a depth of 50 meters (approximately 164 feet) in static water. It can handle everyday exposure: rain, splashes, sweat, and showering. It can also handle shallow water activities, such as swimming in pools or in the ocean.
The newly designed widgets and customizable straps (9 color options) also add a touch of personalization, allowing me to tailor the band to my unique style. Personally I love this gray strap.
This Milanese design is also a good alternative to match with your outfit. You have to purchase it separately.
The Xiaomi Smart Band 8 PRO is priced at P3,699. It’s affordable and an impressive upgrade from its predecessor. The Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro can also be accessed and connected through the Mi Fitness app or via Bluetooth 5.3. You can download it for both Android and iOS. (Android 8.0 or iOS 12.0 and above).
All things considered, the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 PRO looks like the ideal partner for fitness enthusiasts and multimedia creators like me, providing a seamless combination of comfort, design, and functionality that’s suited for an active and mobile lifestyle.
