Ive been using the Redmi Watch for the last couple of days, and here is my in depth: review. Spoiler alert. I dont like the Redmi Watch and I dont suggest you get it. Want to know why please sit tight and watch while I tell you a thing or two about it., But before we get into the review, please show some support for me by hitting that subscribe Button turning on the notification bell and giving this video a thumbs up, your support is important to me.. Now lets get to this watch., So first things first lets get this thing naked.! Please note that this is an official unit, so that means the package you receive. Will be exactly the same as mine if you order one now, whether through the official Xiaomi site or some trustworthy platforms like Geekbuying.com or Aliexpress, all links are down below. On the back of the box. There are some highlights like multiple sports modes built in Xiao, Ai voice, assistant, 5ATM, NFC, etc, but many of them cant be used outside of mainland China. Open the box. We see the watch a detailed Chinese manual and a charging base. Thats all. Now move to the watch., I got to say its really lightweight and it has one of the best wearing comforts Ive ever had.. The strap is detachable, which gives you a wide range of choices. If you want to choose other straps., The back of the watch is no difference to other smartwatches that weve seen on the market.
There is a Redmi logo, a heart rate monitor and charging contacts. On the right side. There is a physical key and a mic. Nothing on the left, side. Long press, the physical key to turn on the watch.. The first time you power on it will show a QR code for you to download the App.. However, I guess there is a bug here, because when I scan to download even successfully downloaded for multiple times, I cant even find the APK file. When I finally found it I couldnt install. Later, I realized I had to delete all the characters behind the apk before downloading and then it installs itself correctly what a mess. So I would suggest you just go to Google Play or App Store to search Xiaomi Wear. Instead of scan the QR code. After that, just like other smartwatch apps, you have to fill out a bunch of your personal information before entering the main interface. Go to Profile, tap, Add device to add the Redmi Watch wait for a while, and it will be connected Easy peasy. Many people are wondering if the Redmi Watch supports English. Yes, it is.. If your phone language is English, then it will be English, but if your phone is in other languages other than English, then based on my test will be in Chinese.. As for the App, it has a really detailed user guide, also some workout courses and, of course, it records your daily exercises.
Enough about that lets. Move to the watch. Swipe down is the Notification. I really like the way how it shows the messages.. It displays. The number of all the messages you received if you want to check more details, just click in and scroll down to read the full information like the video shows. Swipe up. We get to see shortcuts like Torch, Raise to wake Screen, unlock DND, Wake for 5 minutes and the Settings you can change. Your watch faces, adjust, brightness or whatever here. Swipe left. We can see Heart rate, Sleep, Xiao, Ai voice, assistant Weather, QR code, Music control and Calories.. Swipe right is the same just in reverse, order. Short press. Once on the physical key. We can see all the built in Apps. Short tap to enter the App. Under the sports app. We dont see many sports modes here, but I guess its enough for daily use.. It also has an App to show your workouts details to train your breath, etc. What I really want to point out is the Xiao Ai Voice Assistant. I set the watch to English already and when I speak English to my surprise, it recognizes some of them, but funny thing: is it responds in Chinese.? If I speak Chinese, it understands too. Actually, the answer are pretty informative, but all in Chinese. So yeah not so friendly to international users. So far. All others seem not so much difference. To test the accuracy of the Redmi Watch.
I compared it with the Amazfit Bip, the Haylou Smartwatch 2 and even the Huawei Band 3 Pro, which has been my daily driver for years.. I tested Indoor treadmill Outdoor cycling and Sleep., And here are the results. Well thats. The interesting part, if judged from the Sleep data Redmi Watch is the least accurate one which is one hour shorter than the other three have recorded.. As for Indoor treadmill, they are almost the same., But I really want to complain. Is the Outdoor cycling.? I guess there is another bug here.. When I click Outdoor cycling. It says my watch is disconnected and then I tap Got it then nothing. Does that mean if I dont bring a phone with me, I cant do cycling, Thats ridiculous. Then I changed to Outdoor running mode. It seems work normally.. So for the outdoor cycling. I cant compare the data since it doesnt record properly., So to conclude.. For the good side, the Redmi Watch has a premium fit and finish feels really comfortable to wear.. It has a crystal clear screen, even under the direct sunlight. Since its larger than smart band, you can view more messages and have a better interaction with it.. The gesture control is intuitive, not that sluggish, as you may see, and its 5ATM waterproofing., But I still find its hard to recommend at the moment., Especially for international users. Thats, because some of the cool parts from this watch cant be used like Xiao, Ai voice assistant Nfc and multiple language support.
Other things like the App is not providing the most detailed and instructive information like the AMAZFIT or Huawei band, do looks less professional. And since its new, so the price is not going to be cheap. If you choose to buy now and with this price, it doesnt even have GPS, the Amazfit, Bip and Huawei Band 3 Pro we are using in this video. They all have GPS and they are cheaper and more professional.. Also because its new, you will run into some bugs here and there, though not a big issue, but still not good right.ZuLa2xX6ba0
