Sony and Xiaomi launch PlayStation fitness tracker for fans in China

A fitness tracker has dropped from Sony in collaboration with Xiaomi. This is a PlayStation-themed wearable, celebrating PlayStation’s 10th anniversary in China. It’s essentially Xiaomi’s Smart Band 9 Pro, but with a design that carries elements of the iconic gaming brand.


A design built for fans

As shared on Weibo, at first glance, this tracker looks like a standard Xiaomi device. However, it is the PlayStation branding is that sets it apart.

The fitness band arrives in a commemorative blue box, with two strap options: one featuring PlayStation’s familiar button symbols and logo, and a plain black one if you’re feeling low-key. The package also includes a commemorative card and a charging cable, rounding out what feels more like a collector’s set than a typical gadget.

The device itself sticks to Xiaomi’s usual sleek and lightweight build. It’s only 8mm thick and weighs just 24.5 grams, so it’s not going to weigh you down. With water resistance up to 5 ATM, it’s swim-friendly, and the 1.74-inch OLED display is bright and crisp, even in sunny conditions.

It’s still a fitness tracker at heart

Under the hood, this is very much a fitness tracker. It does what you’d expect: heart rate monitoring, SpO2 tracking, and sleep analysis, plus menstrual cycle tracking for those who need it. It’s equipped with GPS and supports over 150 sports modes, so you’ll have no trouble logging your workouts. Xiaomi has lots of experience here.

Another thing the device gets right is battery life. It lasts up to 21 days on a single charge, which is always handy if you’re not great at remembering to plug things in.

As mentioned, this is essentially a Smart Band 9 Pro wearing a PlayStation outfit.. You can check out our full hands-on review of the Xiaomi device on this link.

Mostly about the looks

If you’re expecting some big changes or PlayStation-related features on the software side, you’re out of luck. The PlayStation branding here is all in the design—there’s no sign of gaming tie-ins or tweaks to the interface.

Right now, this tracker is only available in China. There’s no word from Sony or Xiaomi about a wider release, so if you’re outside China, you’re either waiting or searching for a reseller.

This collaboration feels more like a collectible for PlayStation fans than anything groundbreaking. It’s a solid fitness tracker with some unique branding. Whether it becomes available globally is anyone’s guess, but for now, it’s a niche product for a specific market.
