The specifications and some of its main features at the back. Xiaomi is known for his good quality. For its budget price, so it would be interesting to see how their watches will do.

It lasted me about 8 days, which is pretty decent for a smart watch at this price. Setting up the watch is very easy, simply turn on the watch and scan the qr code on the screen on my iphone.
This sends me directly to the xiaomi rear, light app and the apple app store. It is also compatible with android phones. All we need to do now is to set up an account and when that’s done head over to profile and add device, the watch should pop up by itself. So all we need to do is to select it and accept the pairing and that’s all there is to it. We can start using the watch, it’s, not a big watch, so it sits nicely on the wrist. The bands are very comfortable. The display will automatically switch on when we turn the wrist and it’s got a 1.4 inch display with a resolution of 320 by 320 pixels with a pixel density of 323 ppi.

Unfortunately, though, you can’t download more apps to the watch, starting with the workout app. This app helps you to record particular workouts, such as running on the thread mill, outdoor running swimming and more to start an activity. We first get the three seconds countdown timer, so we can get ready in the activity panel. We can see the time spent heart rate, distance and amount of steps you have taken.

The xiaomi watch light also boasts outdoor apps, such as an in built compass and a barimetric air pressure, app, which is ideal for tracking and camping. The music app is compatible with most music players, i’ve used tidal with no hiccups. It has basic remote functions such as playing the next and previous song play and pause, as well as controlling your music volume. It also shows the title of the song you’re currently playing, which makes it convenient, so you don’t have to whip out your phone all the time. It also has basic functions, such as an alarm mode where you can set multiple alarms and have it repeat throughout the days in a week, and with that you will only get a few vibrations on your wrist. You will notice some lag, especially when setting a timer or an alarm so scrolling to get the right numbers winds up being too laggy, which makes it difficult to get the settings right.

The text is nice and clear and you are able to scroll down to read longer text. However, if the message is too long, it is not possible to read the whole message without taking out the phone next let’s give ourselves a phone call and see what happens. The watch does not have an inbuilt mic, and so it only allows us to reject the call. One feature that i like the most is the find phone app which enables you to search for your phone as long as it is in bluetooth range to find your phone tap, the tab to search function and your phone will automatically beep wait if you misplaced your Phone somewhere else, let’s take a look at the xiaomi watchlight phone app. The ui and data are easy to use and looks well thought out and planned.

Looking watch a full charge gave me more than a full week of usage with everything switched on and always connected by bluetooth. The display is bright and vibrant, with a good resolution and for a cheap price. It looks more expensive than it is it’s. A simple looking watch with a good amount of features and gps, so the tracking data is useful and the graphs and charts are nicely presented in the phone app. The menu is simple and quick to navigate and the apps in the watch are useful, but i wish we can add apps like carrot, fit and other apps that can be downloaded if you are looking for a smartwatch for daily use, minimal design and offers a lot Of features for its budget price, this watch is for you or can be used as a gift.
