Expert opinion

Smart Band 10 counts pool lengths with an upgraded nine-axis motion sensor and AI stroke recognition, which Xiaomi says is 96% accurate, and it now shows your heart rate in real time while you swim. Heart rate broadcast sends live heart rate over Bluetooth to a bike computer or any other device that accepts the standard BLE heart rate profile. Ten on-wrist running courses and a live gap-to-target-pace display guide newer runners, while VO2 max, training load and recovery time are tracked across more than 150 sports modes. Sleep tools include a sleep score, daily to monthly trend reports and a 21-day sleep improvement plan. Xiaomi claims up to 21 days of battery life in typical use, 9 days with the always-on display and 8 days under heavy load. There is no built-in GPS, so the band cannot map a run or ride on its own, and Xiaomi lists no ANT+ support. Smart Band 10 suits parkrunners, pool swimmers and gym members who want a light band with useful training metrics and a battery that lasts for weeks.

Specifications

Battery life

Xiaomi claims up to 21 days in typical use from the 233mAh battery. That test checks heart rate every 30 minutes, leaves high-precision sleep, in-sleep breathing, all-day stress and all-day blood oxygen monitoring switched off, and records only 60 minutes of exercise a week. Turning on the always-on display cuts the claim to 9 days. The heavy-load figure of 8 days adds the always-on display, all the sleep and health monitoring, and heart rate checks every minute. A runner or swimmer using the full sleep tools should plan on a weekly charge, which takes about an hour.
