Log in to your Xiaomi account and tap Reserve. If it shows “Success! You’ll be notified when the event starts,” that means you’re done.

Anyone interested, whether you plan to buy it or not, is highly encouraged to tap Reserve—it costs nothing anyway, and you can register first to get free gift eligibility:
For those who still aren’t sure how the Xiaomi Smart Band 11 and Xiaomi Smart Band 10 differ, here’s a quick breakdown.
The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 is 10.95mm thick and weighs 15.95 grams. The Xiaomi Smart Band 11 is reduced to 9.99mm, and the metal version weighs 15.58 grams without the strap. According to the company, the 11 series is the thinnest generation of Xiaomi Smart Bands in ten years. The display remains a 1.72-inch AMOLED with a resolution of 212×520, but peak brightness has increased from 1500 nits to 2000 nits, a 33% increase, so messages will be clearer to read in direct sunlight.
The battery life still lasts up to 21 days, and it also has 5ATM water resistance, with more upgrades in health monitoring.
The heart rate and blood oxygen sensors have been upgraded to new models, and Xiaomi says measurements are more accurate. It also adds sleep HRV (heart rate variability) monitoring; paired with AI sleep interpretation, it will directly tell you how you slept last night and what went wrong, instead of just throwing a bunch of numbers at you. It also supports all-day heart rate, blood oxygen, and stress monitoring, and still offers more than 150 workout modes. The system is based on HyperOS 4, and foreign media outlet Android Authority specifically noted that this generation’s notification syncing on iOS is much improved over previous generations, so iPhone users may want to keep an eye on it.
Although the Taiwan price hasn’t been announced yet, we can make an estimate based on the China pricing and last year’s Taiwan prices. The China version of Xiaomi Band 11 standard edition has a suggested price of RMB 299, with a first-sale price of RMB 289; the NFC edition is RMB 349, with a first-sale price of RMB 339; the ceramic edition and all-metal Unibody edition start at RMB 399. China prices rose by about RMB 20–30 compared with the previous generation. If the Taiwan version follows the same increase, last year’s Band 10 Taiwan prices for the three versions were NT$1,199, NT$1,399, and NT$1,599, respectively, so it should be between NT$1,200 and NT$1,700.
