Xiaomi has made its Mi Band 3 (Review) fitness tracker available to buy via partner offline retail stores in India.

At the launch event, Xiaomi said the Mi Band 3 will be made available via Mi Home and offline stores soon. Gadgets 360 has learnt that the fitness tracker is now available to buy via offline stores. The development comes on the heels on new festive season discounts for offline stores from the Chinese company.
