In addition to new smartphones and tablets, Xiaomi also presented new wearable devices: the Xiaomi Band 9 Pro sports band and the Xiaomi Watch S4 smartwatch.
Xiaomi Band 9 Pro
Xiaomi Band 9 Pro - as the name suggests - is a band by definition, but in my opinion it is something more, simply an inexpensive smartwatch. The band has a rectangular, aluminum housing with a 5 ATM water resistance class and interchangeable straps, which allows you to easily change its style. The display has a diagonal of 1.74 inches and a resolution of 336x480 pixels, and most importantly, it is AMOLED, so it offers good colours, contrast and high brightness - up to 2000 nits. The new Band is equipped with Bluetooth 5.4 and GPS connectivity and the necessary sensors: gyroscope, compass, accelerometer and pulse oximeter. The band monitors over 150 sports activities, heart rate, sleep, blood oxygenation and menstrual cycle. Of course, it also shows the time and notifications from the phone, allows you to control music or the camera and find your phone. The 350 mAh battery is supposed to provide up to 21 days of operation, or up to 10 with Always On Display mode turned on. Depending on the finish of the band, the band costs 399 or 449 yuan, or 56-64 USD.

Xiaomi Watch S4
The Xiaomi Watch S4 is a more serious, more expensive and better equipped device. It has a classic, round aluminum casing with a 5 ATM tightness, with a removable ring surrounding the dial. This ring can be replaced with another, and with it the watch faces also change - to match the color and style. The AMOLED display has a diameter of 1.43 inches, a resolution of 466x466 pixels and a brightness of up to 2200 nits. Xiaomi Watch S4 has more modules than the band described above. In addition to those listed above, there is NFC, as well as optional LTE with eSIM support. The 486 mAh battery is supposed to last for 7 or 3 days (this is in LTE mode), while the version of the watch without LTE will work for up to 15 days (or 5 with Always On Display). Of course - the watch offers similar fitness and sports functions as the new band. Xiaomi Watch S4 is priced at 999 or 1199 yuan (LTE version). After conversion, it is 140-169 USD.
