Xiaomi Band 9 Pro Field Test: Does It Have Any Issues in Malaysia?

Many people ask why not go for the mainland version, but the international edition has certain features removed. Still, for most users, this watch primarily serves as a tool to track fitness performance and manage notifications. Honestly, would I even use NFC or load apps onto my watch? 😅 Plus, I was concerned about potential damage during online shipping, so I decided to play it safe and purchase from a store instead. 🎉

Here’s my take after using it for a week:

The app interface is sleek and straightforward, clearly displaying key daily stats. What’s fun is its quirky way of illustrating how many calories you’ve burned in terms of food equivalents—clever and motivating!

Sleep tracking has quickly become part of my morning routine. It gives me insights into my sleep quality, breaking down deep sleep and REM cycles with reasonable accuracy. While it might not be perfect, it’s certainly helpful for understanding my rest patterns.

For swimmers, this feature shines. The watch records detailed metrics like speed, distance, stroke count, and even swimming styles—all while staying waterproof up to 5 ATM. Just remember to input your pool length before jumping in!

As someone who hits the gym post-work when time allows, I’ve only tested the fitness center-related functions so far. However, the variety of exercise modes available is impressive, offering highly specific categories tailored to different workouts.
