Who would buy a Xiaomi Mi Band for more than 400 euros if you can buy the latest model for a small fraction of that? They say that there is everything in the world, including extravagant people with a lot of money who would be willing to pay to have an exclusive product.
And it is that the most expensive Xiaomi Mi Band in the world shares a lot with the standard model, but it has a couple of things that make it different and unique. Do you want to know what it is?
This Xiaomi Band costs more than 400 euros, but it has gold and diamonds
As part of its new “Golden Collection”, Xiaomi put up for sale through Youpin (its crowdfunding platform) a Mi Band that costs 438 euros. Why such a high price? Because this activity bracelet has a protective case and a clasp closure that uses gold and diamonds .
Actually, what Xiaomi sells is a couple of luxury accessories that can be ordered for the Xiaomi Mi Band 4, 5, 6 and 7 . The bracelets are still the same ones that are sold on Amazon and other stores for 60 euros or less, without any improvement in their characteristics. Even so, these luxury Xiaomi Smart Bands have quality certification and evaluation by the manufacturer and the jewelers who designed them.
Xiaomi’s golden collection was made in partnership with the China Gold mining company and the China Academy of Arts. According to Xiaomi, the goal is to create exclusive, luxury, artistic and modern handcrafted accessories for its devices. Besides, the collection not only includes accessories for the Xiaomi Band, but also for other company products. In fact, the cheapest item costs almost 11 euros, a gold-plated brooch.
This is a rather curious decision on the part of Xiaomi, since normally third parties design these types of luxury accessories. In addition, the company does not specify if the proceeds from this collection will be used as a donation for the Academy of Arts, another charitable cause or if they will keep the money for themselves. Whatever it is, the fact is that you can now buy a gold Xiaomi Smart Band for a modest price of 438 euros .
By the way, these luxury editions are only available in China and it is quite difficult for them to reach the global market. Would you buy any? If your answer is no, but you are interested in getting a Xiaomi Band 7, then go and buy it on Amazon right now for less than 60 euros.
