Xiaomi has announced that the Mi Band 8 can be worn as a necklace.
The company will likely sell accessories that let you hang the new Mi Band around your neck.
Some features of the fitness tracker may not work when worn like a pendant.

Xiaomi is all set to launch the Mi Band 8 on April 18. From the face of it, the tracker looks exactly like its predecessor, except for its redesigned strap mechanism. However, Xiaomi seems to have found a new way for you to wear the wearable — like a necklace.

No longer restricted to the wrist, the Mi Band 8 can now go around your neck. Xiaomi founder Lei Jun posted an image of the Mi Band 8 strung up like a pendant on his Weibo page. It looks like the company will also sell necklace accessories for the new Mi Band.
