Xiaomi ships over 1 million Mi Band fitness trackers in just 3 months

Xiaomi already shipped over one million Mi Bands since the device went on sale on August 18 to November 28, according to the fitness tracker’s official Weibo account. At its peak, it sold 103,000 in a single day.

To put that into perspective, only about 3.3 million fitness bands and activity trackers were sold between April 2013 and March 2014 in the US, according to the NPD group (h/t Recode). Fitbit is the bestseller in the American market, making up 67 percent (roughly 2.1 million units) of sales in that one-year period.

While those stats don’t account for shipments outside the US, it looks like the RMB 79 (US$13) Mi Band is well on its way to the top spot as the world’s bestselling fitness tracker, especially as it reaches more countries. It’s still only officially available in China, for now, and will go on sale in Hong Kong and Taiwan tomorrow.

Xiaomi also reports the total number of recorded steps accumulated by all Mi Band users surpassed 80 billion.
