Okay, I’ve extracted the text content from the provided HTML. Here it is:
“However, when I worked out with the magnetic band, the fit wasn’t as tight, and accuracy did seem to falter as a result. As you can see in the map above, there were a few times the Smart Band struggled to keep up with my chest strap, especially at peaks in my interval workout.”
“Regrettably,we’re still left without built-in GPS.”
“Unfortunately, there’s still no onboard GPS tracking on the device, which holds it back compared to something like the Fitbit Charge line. Despite my hopes and dreams, xiaomi seems to be saving outdoor workout tracking for its Pro models, so runners and cyclists might want to peek at the 10’s siblings before committing. Serious athletes aren’t likely to shop this device anyway, but built-in GPS would make it a more powerful option.With that said, it’s also roughly a third of the cost of Fitbit’s Charge 6, and leaving off GPS may be one way it retains such an approachable price tag.”
“Brains and battery”
“The Smart Band 10 packs in a thoughtful mix of features that, once again, make it feel more capable than its price tag might suggest. It offers all the basic tools I’d want on my wrist including alarms, calendar, weather, timers, and a flashlight, plus music and camera controls. It works with both Android phones and iPhones via the Mi Fitness app.On my Pixel 9, syncing was fast and reliable, but the experience is best if you’re already in the Xiaomi ecosystem. With support for the Xiaomi Smart Hub, you can use the band to control compatible smart home devices right from your wrist.”
“With the exception of NFC support, the Xiaomi smart Band 10 offers a good range of basic smart features.”
“Even outside the Xiaomi bubble, though, the device still delivers a polished experience. Notifications, calls, and calendar alerts land instantly, and wrist-based music controls are helpful during a workout or grocery run. When I didn’t want distractions, I used the silent mode toggle and custom vibration patterns. My personal favorite is the “Good day” alarm option, because who doesn’t want to start with a good day? I had hoped this would be the year NFC support finally made its way to the global model, but no luck. The longer digital payments exist and gain popularity, the more of a knock it seems for a device to not have it available.”
“What I absolutely love about the Xiaomi Smart Band line is the battery life. Compared to my usual go-to devices,the extended use between charges feels like a luxury. Despite the larger, brighter display and added features, the Smart Band 10 still offers up to 21 days on a typical charge, or about 9 days with the Always-on Display enabled. Charging is quick too, thanks to the magnetic charger that tops off the 233mAh battery in under an hour. Battery longevity has always been a Mi Band hallmark, and Xiaomi clearly isn’t ready to compromise on that front.”
