Xiaomi Unveils Affordable Global Smartwatch With 21-Day Battery Life

Xiaomi Smart Band 11 Active Launches Globally With Up to 21 Days of Battery Life

Xiaomi has introduced the Smart Band 11 Active, a new budget-friendly fitness tracker designed for users who want essential health and workout features without paying a premium price. With long battery life, broad smartphone compatibility, and multiple health-tracking tools, the wearable aims to be an attractive option in the affordable smart band market.

One of the biggest highlights of the Xiaomi Smart Band 11 Active is its battery performance. Under light usage, the device is rated to last up to 21 days on a single charge. For users who rely more heavily on health monitoring and notifications, Xiaomi estimates around 8 days of battery life from its 300 mAh battery.

That 8-day estimate is based on a more demanding usage pattern. In this scenario, the band is fully charged and reset to factory settings with the default static watch face. Advanced monitoring features are enabled, including sleep tracking for 8 hours per day, sleep breathing quality monitoring, all-day heart rate tracking with readings every minute, all-day stress monitoring, and two manual blood oxygen checks per day.

The test also includes regular daily activity, such as 200 notifications, 15 incoming calls, 3 alarms, 500 wrist-raise screen activations, one app sync per day, and 90 minutes of workout tracking per week. This means real-world battery life should remain strong even for users who keep several features turned on.

For fitness tracking, the Smart Band 11 Active offers 50 workout modes, making it suitable for a variety of activities, from walking and running to gym sessions and other exercise routines. It also includes a PPG sensor for tracking heart rate, SpO2 blood oxygen levels, sleep, stress, and women’s health.

The wearable supports both Android and iOS devices, which should make it easy for most smartphone users to connect and sync their health data. This cross-platform compatibility gives the Smart Band 11 Active broader appeal, especially for those looking for a simple fitness tracker rather than a full smartwatch.

The Xiaomi Smart Band 11 Active has officially appeared for sale in Poland, where it is priced at PLN 139, which is approximately $38. It is available in three color options. The fitness band is also expected to reach more European markets, with a likely Eurozone price of around €40, or about $45.

With its low price, long battery life, health-tracking features, and wide device compatibility, the Xiaomi Smart Band 11 Active could become a strong choice for buyers searching for an affordable fitness tracker in 2026.
