In terms of fitness features, the Smart Band 7 offers more than 110 modes and five auto-sensing modes (outdoor running, walking, treadmill, rowing machine, elliptical). Smart Band 8 expands its offering to more than 150 modes, adapting even better to user preferences.
Both bands offer similar functionality in terms of health monitoring, but only the Smart Band 7 highlights SpO₂ tracking and some features in sleep tracking.
Smart Brand 7 features heart rate monitoring, SpO₂ monitoring, sleep monitoring (deep sleep, light sleep, REM and naps), sleep breathing quality monitoring, women’s health monitoring, and stress monitoring.
Smart Brand 8 stands out with its scientific sleep monitoring, day-long stress and heart rate monitoring and women’s health management features.
Finally, regarding their technical features, both bracelets are water-resistant with 5 ATM resistance and use the Mi Fitness application. Smart Band 7 uses Bluetooth 5.2 BLE and is compatible with Android 6.0 and iOS 10 onwards. Smart Band 8 uses Bluetooth 5.1 BLE, compatible with Android 6.0 or iOS 12.0 and newer.
In this case, Smart Band 8 can be worn both on the wrist and around the neck as a necklace, or with a special strap attached to shoelaces. This allows you to retrace your steps more carefully without having to show the bracelet all the time.
