11 Healthcare Wearables India is Wearing Now

4. Xiaomi Mi Band and other budget fitness bands — Value-first trackers

Budget fitness bands keep health tracking accessible. Devices like the Mi Band are favourites because they measure steps, sleep, heart rate and sometimes SpO2 at very low prices. They suit students, daily-walk commuters and people who want a simple nudge toward moving more between meals. Battery life on these bands often stretches for days, which helps users who forget to charge devices during busy work weeks. The low price point and mass availability make them common gifts and monsoon-sale purchases across India. Users should know that cheaper sensors may not be as accurate as higher-end devices, but for basic behaviour nudges, they work well. If a medical issue is suspected, don’t rely on a budget tracker alone — seek clinical tests.
