Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro

The Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro is a super-affordable fitness band that incorporates features typically found in more expensive watches. It sports a large 1.74-inch AMOLED display with Always-On functionality, built-in GPS for standalone tracking, and continuous SpO2 monitoring. It tracks over 150 workout modes, sleep stages, and stress levels. With up to 14 days of battery life, it is targeted at budget-conscious consumers and beginners wanting comprehensive activity tracking without a significant investment.

Its high score for value makes it a top contender in the entry-level category, though it lacks advanced coaching and premium build materials.
