Xiaomi has just introduced a new addition to its wearable lineup in the Philippines, the Xiaomi Smart Band 10.
Positioned as an all-in-one smartwatch for health and athletic tracking, could this be your next budget-friendly fitness partner? Read more to find out!
Let’s start with its design and build, the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 features an aluminum alloy frame for the Black, Silver, and Rose variants, while the top-end model comes in a ceramic build.
The watch we have here is in the Rose color, as you can see below.
Out of the box, users get a TPU strap for the standard variants and a fluororubber strap for the premium version. On top, the device is protected by 2.5D reinforced glass, adding durability.
Both models are just 10.95mm thick, but they differ slightly in weight, the metal version weighs 15.95g, while the ceramic model is a bit heavier at 23.05g (excluding the strap). Apart from that, the band fits wrist sizes from 135 to 210mm.
Now let’s move on to the display. Up front, the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 sports a 1.72-inch AMOLED pill-shaped screen with a 212 × 520 resolution and 326 PPI, and a 60Hz refresh rate with a 73% screen-to-body ratio.
Not only that, but it reaches up to 1500 nits peak brightness, which makes it usable even under the bright sun. Also, the screen supports over 200 customizable watch faces that you can choose from.
While the bezels are fairly minimal, giving the display a roomy feel, the screen is still relatively small. This means that reading longer notifications or emails may not be the most comfortable experience.
However, in our experience, swiping through menus, checking steps, or changing settings is smooth. It also comes with a few built-in mini-games.
The band connects via Bluetooth 5.4 and pairs with the Mi Fitness app for syncing your health data and customizing settings.
It works with Android 8.0 or later and iOS 12.0 or above, making it compatible with most smartphones.
For durability, it features a 5ATM water resistance for daily water exposure like accidental rain or handwashing.
When it comes to fitness, the Smart Band 10 supports 150 workout modes, including 6 that can auto-detect common activities like walking, running, and cycling.
It also offers on-wrist running courses with different speeds and difficulty levels to help users train better. You can also track your VO₂ max, training load, and recovery time to better understand your performance.
One standout feature is the heart rate broadcast, which lets you share your live heart rate via Bluetooth to supported gym equipment or apps.
For swimmers, the band is equipped with a 9-axis motion sensor that enables advanced swim tracking, including real-time heart rate monitoring and up to 96% lap count accuracy.
Sensor-wise, it’s well-equipped for everyday use since it includes an accelerometer, gyroscope, electronic compass, optical heart rate and SpO₂ sensor, and an ambient light sensor. However, it lacks built-in GPS and NFC support.
As for battery life, the Smart Band 10 uses magnetic charging and takes about 1 hour to fully charge its 233mAh battery.
Using the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 can last up to 21 days based on our standard testing. But if you keep the Always-On Display turned on, expect the battery to drain faster.
The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is priced at PHP2,499. It will be available in Xiaomi physical stores starting July 4, 2025, while online sales in shopping apps in the Philippines will begin on July 27, 2025.
We think it’s a solid option for users looking to stay active without spending too much. While it may not offer the advanced features found in more expensive smartwatches, its long battery life, lightweight design, and wide compatibility make it a practical choice for everyday fitness and health monitoring.
