The Mi Band Pulse maintains the same design aesthetics with its predecessor, though the company has incorporated an optical heart rate sensor with the new generation, making the wristband heavier by 0.5 gram- it is highly unlikely that a user will feel the change. This new feature allows the device to monitor users’ heart rate, while simultaneously track activity and unlock their phones.

The Mi Band Pulse is equipped with IP67 certification, meaning that it is waterproof as well.

When it comes to the battery, the size remains the same, lasting up to 30 days with a single charge, which sounds adequate enough for the particular device. Steps and calories burnt counter -phone notifications too- are also being included.

This assumption relies on the company’s respective post, asking followers of its Facebook page if they’d like to see the much-touted fitness tracker in their region.

The device will set you back only US$16 and will initially roll out in the Chinese market on November 11, with more countries presumably to follow as mentioned above. In addition, the wearable is available in five color variants for the user to opt for; orange, pink, blue, green and baby blue.
