TL;DR The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro is now rolling out globally after debuting in China earlier this month, though still not in the US.
The budget-friendly tracker adds a brighter AMOLED display, improved accuracy, new tracking tools, dual-device syncing, and up to 21 days of battery life.
The Smart Band 10 Pro standard version starts at €79.90, and NFC and Ceramic editions start at €99.90.
As more users burn out on oversized smartwatches and daily charging habits, fitness trackers are back in the spotlight. Xiaomi’s Smart Band lineup has always been about packing surprisingly capable features into cheap wearables, and the Smart Band 10 Pro continues that trend. Following its debut in China last week, the budget-friendly tracker is now heading to global markets. Though still not officially available in the US, its timing aligns with a surging interest in band-style fitness trackers.
Xiaomi’s Pro model Smart Bands continually creep closer to smartwatch specs each generation. The Smart Band 10 Pro does so by boosting brightness up to 2,000 nits. It maintains the 1.74-inch AMOLED display size from the 9 Pro, but the tracker itself is impressively compact at 9.7mm thick and 21.6g without the strap, making it both thinner and lighter than last year’s model. Xiaomi even offers a new ceramic edition alongside the standard aluminum finishes, continuing the company’s push toward a slightly more premium feel.

Other upgrades this year include an updated PPG sensor, HRV monitoring, and expanded sleep insights. Xiaomi is also partnering with cycle-tracking app Clue to offer shoppers a three-month Clue Plus membership bundled with the Smart Band 10 Pro.
