Xiaomi added the Mi Band 2 will also vibrate if sitting for too long – a reminder to make sure you keep moving.

Xiaomi’s Mi Band 2 uses Bluetooth 4.0 to connect to a user’s phone, and comes with an estimated 20 days of battery life on a single charge. The device is IP67 water-resistant with replaceable silicon straps.

Xiaomi’s new activity tracker is priced slightly higher than its predecessors at $23 (RMB 149). The original Mi Band previously went on sale for $13.
