ACTIVITY trackers are one of the simplest ways to take control of your health.
Right now, the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is just £34.93 on Amazon, giving the big-name brands a serious run for their money.

For context, the Fitbit Charge 6, which offers many of the same core features, is currently on sale for £98.99, down from £139.99.
That’s still a decent price, but when the Xiaomi does the essentials for a third of the cost, it’s hard to justify spending more.
If you’ve been eyeing a Fitbit but don’t want to drop nearly £100, this is a smart swap.
I spotted this gem sitting high on Amazon’s best-selling activity trackers list, and it covers all the essentials.
You get a bright 1.72-inch AMOLED display, and fitness features like 24/7 heart rate tracking, sleep monitoring, and over 150 exercise modes.
Like the Fitbit Charge 6, it’s water-resistant up to 50m, so you can take it swimming, and it’ll track your heart rate in the pool, which is a rare feature at this price point.
It works with both iOS and Android, and keeps you connected with smartphone notifications, alarms, and reminders to move.
It’s no fad either, research shows fitness trackers could help predict the likelihood of dementia by spotting changes in movement and sleep.
Spotting those patterns early could help you make important lifestyle changes sooner.

And it keeps up without constant charging, the Xiaomi tracks trends with up to 21 days of battery life, compared to around seven on the Fitbit.
It also powers up in about an hour, so you’re not constantly tied to a charger.
The Fitbit Charge 6 does go further with extras like built-in GPS, Google Maps, Google Wallet, and YouTube Music controls.
So if you want those smart features baked in, it might be worth the extra spend.
But if you’re focused on tracking your activity, sleep, and workouts with a long battery life, the Xiaomi punches well above its weight.
And it’s not just me, the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 has earned a 4.5-star rating and racked up over 1,000 sales in the past month, with buyers clearly impressed.
One reviewer wrote: “I’ve purchased fitness trackers over 5 times the price, this is the best fitness tracker anywhere near this price.”
Another added: “I’m very happy with it. Does everything I want it to do and only needs charging once every two weeks.”
For a budget-friendly tracker to cover the basics well, this model punches well above its weight.
It’s not the only bargain I’ve spotted turning heads on Amazon, with a TSA-approved power bank recently dropped from £130 to just £30.
