| Next model | — | Xiaomi Smart Band 11 (On sale in China, Hong Kong and South Korea — Europe date not yet confirmed) |
Pixel Watch 5 can detect when your heart stops and automatically call emergency services — a safety feature not found on Galaxy Watch or Apple Watch.
Three months of Google Health Premium comes with the watch, alongside a Readiness Score, HRV analysis, and blood pressure pattern tracking.
Google's cleanest Wear OS implementation with fast updates, Gemini on the wrist, Google Maps, and Google Wallet built in.
The Smart Band 10's 1.72" display peaks at 1500 nits — 200 nits brighter than the Band 9 — making it more readable in sunlight, all for around $40.
Continuous heart rate, SpO2, stress, and sleep tracking — all running for 3 weeks before charging. Seven more days than the already impressive Band 9.
Full functionality on both platforms via the Mi Fitness app, including notifications, sleep analysis, and health trends. Bluetooth 5.4 for improved connection stability.
The right pick depends on what you optimize for.
$40 vs $696 over 3 years.

10 sensors.
16g.
