Xiaomi releases new budget smartwatch in Europe with optional NFC and 21 days battery life

Xiaomi has extended availability of its latest Smart Band wearable to a new market. To recap, the company introduced the Smart Band 11 in China on September 3. Later that same month, it listed the same fitness tracker on its global website. However, it waited until mid-October before releasing the Smart Band 11 internationally.

Now, the Smart Band 11 has landed in Europe. Specifically, the wearable is available to purchase in Spain for €59.99 (~$67). Unlike the Smart Band 10, the Smart Band 11 has arrived in Europe with optional NFC connectivity, too. Xiaomi has not confirmed the extent of tap-to-pay support, though.

With that said, the Smart Band 11 NFC retails for €79.99 (~$89), making it as expensive as the Smart Band 10 Pro (curr. $80 on Amazon). Not only that, but the Smart Band 11 NFC costs 60% more than the regular Smart Band 10. For reference, the standard Smart Band 11 is 20% more expensive than its predecessor.

Also, Xiaomi is not currently selling its ceramic edition in Europe, despite mentioning it multiple times on its Spanish product page. All variants ship with a 2,000-nit AMOLED display and a 233 mAh battery rated for up to 21 days of battery life. Moreover, Xiaomi always pre-installs over 150 sports modes and promises seamless integration with Apple's ecosystem. Please see Xiaomi's website for more details.
