Unboxing the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 with a full tour of the fitness tracker features and specs. If you want to keep tabs on your health on a strict budget, the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 could be a great cheap option.

That suppository style design allows you to snap on various straps - leather, stainless steel, fabric etc - as well as a pendant housing to turn this fitness band into a necklace. There's even a running clip accessory, if you want feedback on your posture!

The Xiaomi Smart Band 8 pairs with your phone (Android or iPhone) using Xiaomi's Mi Fitness app. You can customise the watch face and widgets, and that 1.62-inch AMOLED screen is a proper stunner for this budget price. It's a 60Hz display with auto brightness, maxing out at 600 nits.

The Smart Band 8 boasts the usual 24 hour heart rate and SPO2 tracking. And like the Xiaomi smartwatches, you have support for over 150 different kinds of sports tracking. Add in sleep and stress tracking, plus the usual alarms, timers, etc. and up to 16 days of battery life, and the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 is a tempting tracker.
