Wearable smartwatch and bands have become both a fashion and a part of the daily lives of many. These pieces of plastic possess the ability to keep track of one’s fitness as well as do the traditional time telling.
Xiaomi is among the most successful companies when it comes to wearable electronics. Besides the smart bands it makes in its own name, they have collaborations that produce similar products. An example is Huami and Haylou.
Now, it has announced that its Mi Band 4 has become the best-selling fitness bracelet in the world.
