So far, it looks like it’s a redesigned version of the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro.
Distinctive features of the PlayStation tracker
The main visual difference in the limited edition version of the tracker is the strap, which is adorned with PlayStation’s signature buttons and the company’s logo. In addition to the themed strap, it also comes with a standard black strap, a commemorative card, and a charging cable. It remains unknown if the software has been modified to integrate with the PlayStation gaming theme.

It has a 1.74-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 60Hz and brightness up to 1200 nits. The body of the tracker is made of aluminum for lightness and durability, and the 5 ATM water resistance allows you to use the device while swimming.
Health and Fitness Features
