The smartwatch can couple the alarm clock function with sleep recording by offering a "Smart Wake" function that wakes within a 10-minute window before the set alarm time if the sleep phase is not deep. This function uses the sleep data to select an optimal wake-up time.
The alarm can be set and used directly on the watch, and the watch can also trigger the alarm without a smartphone in the room, as the alarms are stored on the watch. The Mi Fitness app is used to set up and manage the alarms, but the alarm itself works independently of the smartphone once it has been set on the watch.
The device has a water resistance of 5 ATM (to a depth of 50 metres), which means that it is suitable for swimming in the pool or shallow water and does not need to be removed. A special swimming mode is not explicitly mentioned in the available information, but it supports more than 150 sports modes, which may include swimming. The water resistance allows it to be worn while swimming, but not in hot showers, saunas or when diving.
The Smart Band 9 is water-resistant to 5 bar, which corresponds to a diving depth of 50 metres. It can be worn while swimming in the pool or near the shore, but is not suitable for hot showers, saunas or diving. Water resistance may decrease over time.
Yes, the resting heart rate can be measured with the device. It has intelligent heart rate monitoring, which also records the resting heart rate when continuous measurement is switched on by automatically measuring the heart rate at regular intervals.
The Xiaomi Smart Band 9 does not require a membership or a base fee. All functions are included after purchase, there is no €49.99 per year or month plan.
You can refuse access to just about everything, either via the app or via Android. A Xiaomi account is required, but it is possible to refuse to synchronise data via the app. Access for the camera is just for triggering photos by the watch, there is no access to files (except for audio files if authorised, only for playback commands by the watch).
The product includes a timer and stopwatch function, which can be used for interval training like HIIT or Tabata. However, it does not specifically mention an interval timer feature designed for these workouts. You can use the timer function to manually set intervals for your workouts.
I'm not sure if you can set the battery charge level per cent on the basic screen without selecting a different watch face. This function is not explicitly mentioned in the available information.
For a German user manual, I recommend contacting the official Xiaomi website or support. You may be able to find the information you need there or make an enquiry.
Yes, the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 can record sleep. It offers extensive sleep tracking functions, including measurement of total sleep time, individual sleep phases (light, deep and REM) and average heart rate and oxygen saturation levels during sleep. In addition, sleep is rated with a score and a word grade, and there are comparisons with previous nights and other users in the same age group. After at least seven consecutive nights, a "sleep animal" is also assigned, which represents the sleep character and sleep rhythm.
I would advise you to buy new bracelets anyway, I don't think it's ideal.
I have a wrist circumference of 10cm and it worked, but it's a very cheap design.
The Xiaomi Smart Band 9 is basically also suitable for children, but the size of the wristband should be taken into account.
- The bracelet of the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 is available in sizes 135-210 mm, which makes it suitable for most wrists of children and adults.
It is important to note that the band width should be adjusted to the wearer's wrist to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
The Xiaomi Smart Band 9 does not have a built-in GPS tracker. Location tracking and GPS navigation features are absent on this model, but it does offer other fitness tracking features such as heart rate tracking, oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and over 150 sports modes.
No, the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 does not have a built-in GPS module. This information is confirmed by several sources, which clarify that the device does not have a GPS function.
