Score: 80/100
Livikey Fitness Tracker
Score: 71/100Rankings
The Xiaomi Smart Band 9 offers a bright 1.62-inch AMOLED screen, ultra-light design and long battery life for everyday fitness tracking. It sacrifices built-in GPS and a higher-resolution display, which may disappoint power users. Best suited for budget-conscious users who prioritize comfort and basic health metrics.
The Livikey Fitness Tracker is a budget-friendly smartwatch featuring a 1.3-inch display, up to 7 days of active battery life, and a rich set of notifications and sport modes. It lacks built-in GPS and its health sensors are less accurate than premium devices. Best suited for casual users seeking affordable basic fitness tracking.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers commend the Band 9 for its value-driven upgrades, especially the 1200-nit AMOLED display with ambient-light sensing, the 16 % heart-rate accuracy improvement, and the impressive 21-day battery life enabled by Bluetooth 5.4 and efficient sensors. They also highlight the stronger linear motor vibration and the lightweight aluminum frame, while noting the lack of built-in GPS and the smaller, lower-resolution screen as trade-offs against the higher-priced Pro variant.
Everyday users consistently praise the long battery life, feather-light comfort, bright outdoor-readable display, and reliable health tracking via the Mi Fitness app. Common themes include appreciation for the wide range of sport modes and water resistance, as well as the attractive color options. Recurring complaints focus on occasional app sync glitches, the absence of native GPS, and the modest screen resolution that feels low-end for notification detail.
“Packed with features”
“sleek steal”
Professional reviewers consider the Livikey a sleek, low-cost alternative that delivers solid battery life, a rich set of notifications, and multiple sport modes, though they note its lack of GPS, independent calling, and less accurate health sensors keep it from matching premium smartwatches.
Everyday users love the long battery life, easy notifications, lightweight comfort, and variety of colors, but they commonly encounter syncing hiccups, occasional inaccuracies in health tracking, and a feel of basic build quality.
