Why buy each?

Fitbit Edge

Larger AMOLED display with always-on option

A 1.34" AMOLED screen, 46% larger than the Charge 6's, with an optional always-on mode and a physical button.

Built-in GPS, ECG, and an altimeter

Multi-system GPS for phone-free runs, an ECG app for AFib checks, SpO2 and skin temperature sensing, and an altimeter for elevation.

User-replaceable battery

Up to 7 days per charge, a 5-minute top-up for about a day of use, and a battery you can replace yourself when it wears out.

Xiaomi Smart Band 10

Brighter AMOLED at under $40

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.

21-day battery with health monitoring

Continuous heart rate, SpO2, stress, and sleep tracking — all running for 3 weeks before charging. Seven more days than the already impressive Band 9.

Works with iPhone and Android

Full functionality on both platforms via the Mi Fitness app, including notifications, sleep analysis, and health trends. Bluetooth 5.4 for improved connection stability.
