Mate, just watched this review of yours and I have to admit ... Your channel deserves a lot !!! And I love it, the review is great and the video quality as well as the video quality too is amazing 👍🏻👍🏻💯
I bought this watch on NZ 2 years ago for 200 NZD. Still going strong, with a month between charges. My wife's Samsung almost twice the price barely lasts 2 days Bought the Redmi note 8 pro about a year before that, and that's still going, no issues. Xiaomi is pretty good brand, a lot of performance for fraction of status phones
So kind of you to notice this. Yeah, I care about people's opinion and do my best to help where possible. Apparently I am not always that fast, but... 😎
Thank you for clarifying the voice assistant support. I looked everywhere but cant seem to find any info on how to activate the voice assistant. Do you also know how to use the watch as camera shutter?
Hey Allan, thanks for the comment. In fact both features are not fully ready to be used yet. I've tried a beta version, but it's still a few weeks away from official release. THere should also be Alexa coming at a later stage.
Great video! Just a basic question: can you still control the music while using another app? Like skipping a song while running or using the cronometer. I think this is one of the major limitations of the MiBand, where you need to close and reopen again each app every time
@@TechMishka Thanks a lot! Unfortunately I just discovered you cannot do it with the timer / stopwatch app as it doesn't work in the background, and for me it's essential in the gym. Guess I'll need to go for Tizen/Wear devices sacrificing the battery life then
Thanks for a great year of great reviews and really helpful information my friend. You helped me out more than once. Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. All the best! :-).
Hey Dene - thanks so much for this comment. I was just thinking about how many things happened in the last months. Thank you too for the overwhelming support and being around to watch these videos. WIshing you good health and many good moments in 2021.
I use a small motorized dolly (like this th-cam.com/video/zwMl0IsC5SE/w-d-xo.html) and Sony ZV1 (being good enough to film in high bitrate and lightweight enough to be driven by the dolly)
Great review. I am curios, though, how well push notifications work and how much did you manage to test it? As a sports fan, I am thinking if some live scores notification would be able to get through to the watch?
Yes you can get live score alerts through Google, just search for your team then click follow, when your team are playing you will get live alerts of kick off, goals, half & full time ect.
@@TechMishka What can you do with phone message notifications that appear on the watch? Send back preset replies? Type a custom reply with an onscreen keyboard? Thanks
Hi Mihail, one question regarding the notifications coming on this watch: the screen will turn on when a notification comes to the watch or you just feel the vibration and you have to press one button to wake it and check that notification? Thanks in advance!
@@TechMishka One more thing: can you transfer a few songs on the 1Gb memory available that the watch has or is just for something else and it does not have this option? I'm thinking on pairing with wireless headphones and listen while running...
Since my previous comment, I went ahead and bought this exact model, even the color. I love the way it looks in person, and how light it is one wrist. In the basics, it does good. I mean, all the essentials are there, and unless you're not obsessed with medical-grade tracking, you're fine. I bought mine on eBay, used in excellent condition, for 50 Euros. You can't go wrong, really, with that price.
Partially, just 140 characters. The Mi Watch released in India even had a problem when there are 2 or more Whatsapp messages it would just show "3 messages from 2 chats" without possibility to actually see the messages. Same with the Chinese version that came out a year ago, Xiaomi didn't fix any bugs.
@@s-plus that's shitty. I was hoping this version would show the full message. So there's not much difference from the Watch Color, right? Is it worth the price difference?
@@DJdiSouZa Maybe Xiaomi fixed this in the EU version, you need to check this, but they didn't fix it in the Indian version even a year after the Chinese version. Obviously they can't be trusted to "fix" issues. EU version is actually cheaper.
@@s-plus that's why I'm waiting for this global Mi Watch version to come out. Because for the price it seems a really nice option comparing with the Amazfit GTR 2 or the Honor Magic Watch 2. But as a social media guy that I am, I want to make sure i get a watch that can read full messages.
@@DJdiSouZa I've had the Indian Mi Watch version, and I have both the Honor Magic 2 and Samsung Active 2. For the notifications the Samsung is definitely by far the best, because the notifications are the longest and you can actually reply to them. It also displays pictures in Whatsapp notifications. Mi Watch has a nice and accurate stress tracking, much better than Honor or Samsung, and an OK sleep tracking, better than Samsung. But that's about it. The deal breakers are the buggy raise to wake feature (often lights up when it shouldn't, and you have to raise your hand really high for the watch to light up) and very short range Bluetooth connection with your phone. Honor has a much better app than the other two.
Nice review, but... have I not been paying attention or there was no word about notifications and how they perform on varios apps? Also, the display, can it be set to always on? How is the battery life then?
Great review! Which one would you choose, this one or Amazfit GTR 2? I have read somewhere that GTR 2 has problem with weather widget, it doesn't refresh, does Mi Watch have that problem?
If you keep the location services ON, the widget should well refresh. Both devices are wonderful. The Mi Watch may be a bit more accurate in terms of GPS tracking.
Is there a workaround for it to be connected to Strava ??? I have been tempting to buy the GT2e since it has a lot more advance running courses.. but it cannot yet connect to strava.. atleast at the moment
I'm using this modded version with my BIP - forum.xda-developers.com/t/mod-4-4-mifittcxexport-based-on-oficial-mifit-to-export-workouts-to-file-strava.3857636/ It supports track exporting to Strava.
Thanks for answering to all those comments. Question - is there a way to have some apps (games) as I have tend to really enjoy some classes sometimes? Thanks again
Hey mate, excellent question, but I will have to disappoint you - no games and apps for ths one available. There are some apps for Wear-OS based watches (like TIcwatch, Galaxy Watch 4, etc). Ot maybe the older Galaxy watches based on Tizen.
i have my mi band 4 and i always need to bring my phone with it to track my distance. have you tried your mi watch cycling workout and check whether or not it tracks your distance while cycling even if it is not connected to your phone? thanks
Bro, l need your help. Do sport modes actually work? I mean like they have around 100 plus modes but how to they even work properly? Do all modes work similiarly?
Many watches do my friend but there has to be a choice in the market. Many people don't want a speaker on their watch, so why have one built in when it can be taken out and the price be reduced. All the best.
@@DeneF I guess it all comes down to, what you are looking for and how you are going to use it. So many choices and options out there. I personally like to have options to answer my calls on my phone or watch.
Well - it's about priorities. This one seems to be a bridge between trackers and smartwatches and does the job right. I guess the main competitor will be the Huawei Watch Fit.
Many people don't use all those features, hell, most of my friends with Apple Watches only called or did stuff the first few weeks after purchase. AAAND you get a huge battery life out of these, for me this is almost perfect, wish there was NFC and you could switch albums.
Is it possible to upgrade the regular version to the international one? And what are the differences between these two besides available languages ? Thank you for the amazing review
@@khalidoudra I would search on tech forums, I know that there is a Russian mod called m0rtal v1.2 (as I am using it right now) it added cyrillic support to the chinese versions for example, they are now working on adding Alexa voice assistant. I didn't research it well enough, but I am sure there are others too!
Hello, i have a question. Can you set the alarm clock from the watch itself not using the phone/ when it s not connected to phone ( like on mi band 4) i hope you'll answer. Thank you
Hi @Tech4All. I am interested in Xiaomi Mi Watch, or Huawei GT2, or something else that you could suggest. The main fittures that I need, except for the sports/fitness, is the sleeping monitoring and breath (and even respiration) monitoring. I have read that the GT2 has not only time of deep/light/etc sleep, but also shows indications e.g. for apnea. Can you confirm it? And also, does the Mi Watch has similar apps? It interests me a lot. Thank you in advance!
You are looking at quite advanced data for sleeping and I'm not quite sure if it supports it. But I remember that breathing during sleep is now being measured by the devices supporting the Zepp app (mostly amazfit devices)
Hi again Mihail I’ve since bought one of these and have noticed an issue with the GPS. It takes a while for it to connect when outside but if the Application is open on my phone it connects straight away. Surely that cannot be right as that sounds like connected GPS?
Hey Michael, thanks for your comment. Often the GPS on the watch is being supported by the GPS in the phone in order to quickly lock position. When the phone is away, it should also work - the usual time it takes is between 15 and 60 seconds if there are not too many buildings around. Anything more than that will make me think of a hardware problem.
Hi again Mihail another issue I’ve had is the music controls. Sometimes the watch disconnects from the phone when on a workout and I can’t control music on my phone. Did you encounter anything like this during use?
Is there a similar smartwatch that also has GPS, smart assistant and also music storage that isn't too expensive around this price range? (Don't need 3rd party apps or payment)
Hi Mihail. On the app it says I can link Strava as a connected app. How do I sync my workouts to the Strava app? I also believe Strava works on the Amazfit GTR2 and 2E. Is this correct?
Hey Michael, thanks for the comment. I haven't used the Strava option on Xiaomi Wear Yet - but I believe workouts get automatically synced. As for Amazfit - you are right - the Zepp app supports the feature since a long time.
You should mention if you can do intervals while running! It is very important feature and most amazfit watches don't offer this option BTW. Thank you in advance!
Hey Offir - this was the closest I managed to find around. The watch doesn't seem to be available globally yet. Hopefully it will appear in the coming weeks.
@@TechMishka Hey mate. Thanks for awesome review. Is it possible that this is the watch you reviewed? a.aliexpress.com/_ms5qnBL Seems to be already available to order from China. Please let us know, I could order one ASAP 😁
Do I need to always keep the watch app open? If i log out from the app but leave bluetooth on, is watch still connected to the phone, or logging out of the app disonnect watch from the phone?

The interface is interesting. But I wish there's the option to have the list with the name of the app. Cause getting used to this one takes time.
Hey, I have one question. Can you change the menu from icons to a list?
It used to not be possible back when it was new. Perhaps it is now possible.
How do you change to from celsius to fahrenheit? Is it because region is set to China in order to pair?
Depends on your phone's localization. If you are based in the USA - it will show Fahrenheit.
Is it good for its price? Instead going for gt2 pro?
For the price, yes. GT2Pro though is still more premium hands down.
Yes, it's good for the price. The GT2 (non-pro) is a little more expensive and packs a little more features.
Someone said that I should go for Fossil Gen 5 or Samsung Active 2. The Gt2 pro/gt2 UI is laggy
Is there any problems if i use in the same time an Amazfit band with zepp app?. I mean can i use this Watch and Amazfit band in the same time?
Sure, this will work.
Would you pick the Mi Watch or the GTR 2?
Currently rocking the original GTR and want to upgrade
GTR 2 bro
GTR 2 had the option of calls, you can also store music, offline voice controls, and Alexa (Alexa will be in the GTR 2 when we get an OTA update)
Still quite many bugs. At this point of time the Mi Watch experience is better. With some decent updates, the Amazfit GTR2 will get better.
@@TechMishka thanks for your reply. I got the mi watch yesterday. I skipped the gtr2 because of tiny font size
@@SergeiOzerov can you change the font size of gtr2? Or gtr
When is it coming to Amazon USA?
Not sure if it's coming at all. I can only see the Lite version there.
Ok
Is there a different link on place to buy?
Try Amazon.
Is there a similar smartwatch that also has GPS, smart assistant and also music storage that isn't too expensive around this price range? (Don't need 3rd party apps or payment)
Maybe Ticwatch E3 fits well your needs.
What can you say about active calories counter? Does it work on this watch or not???
It works, but since it is all based on algorithms, I've never really focused on these.
@@TechMishka well, people are also interested to know about active calories, if the watch is able to track them or not.
2:02 which phone is that?
It's Oneplus 8 Pro.
@@TechMishka thanks
Hi does this watch has gallery? So you can watch photos from your phone on watch? And how Long battery last? Thanks
There is no gallery option. As for battery life - it is discussed in the video. You can expect between 4 and 7 days with normal usage.
Does it have a map on the watch. I do lots of rough trail runs and sometimes get lost. I don't carry my phone because I have ruined a couple.
No maps on this one. Check something with WearOS.
Hi Mihail. On the app it says I can link Strava as a connected app. How do I sync my workouts to the Strava app? I also believe Strava works on the Amazfit GTR2 and 2E. Is this correct?
Hey Michael, thanks for the comment. I haven't used the Strava option on Xiaomi Wear Yet - but I believe workouts get automatically synced.
As for Amazfit - you are right - the Zepp app supports the feature since a long time.
Thanks for the awesome review!
The only thing I missed was your opinion about the Altimeter / Barometer and Compass functions? Do they work properly?
They do, yes. You are right - I didn't show them thoroughly enough. Results are good and they are well responsive.
Great review. Got my watch today. Only downside is the update doesn't work. Can't figure that out.
It worked fine here, but took like a lot of time
You should mention if you can do intervals while running! It is very important feature and most amazfit watches don't offer this option BTW. Thank you in advance!
I couldn't find the feature here either.
Hi .. Can we use it in sea ? And ıf we use, would it affect it's lifetime ?
It should be fine. Haven't tested it myself though.
Can you interact with notifications on the watch?
You can't...
Thanks for the video ! Are you able to connect the Mi Watch to Zepp app (Amazfit app) ?
You need the Xiaomi Wear app
You are not...
does it have a pre-installed tempered glass? tnx
Nope.
tnx
How's the Spotify integration? Can you control it through this watch? Thank you!
I use TH-cam music, it works perfectly. 👍
I heard XDA made a mod for it
I do use spotify and its work well with this smart watch
Mi band 5 also can control any music player, of course this one also can
If Spotify is running on the phone - the watch can let you pick the next track or the previous one.
your buying link is for the old "color watch"
Not the Old, but the Chinese version...
@@d8l2s9 sorry but it is the old color from 2 years ago.by the way I love your Chanel and I think you do very good reviews
Hey Offir - this was the closest I managed to find around. The watch doesn't seem to be available globally yet. Hopefully it will appear in the coming weeks.
@@TechMishka Hey mate. Thanks for awesome review. Is it possible that this is the watch you reviewed?
a.aliexpress.com/_ms5qnBL
Seems to be already available to order from China. Please let us know, I could order one ASAP 😁
The buy link from aliexpress has comments saying it is a scam seller?
You mean Mi Global store? Looks like they have pretty high rating. I doubt they will risk their reputation...
Hi Is it possible to stop all measuring in this watch and use only the clock?
Not everything, but yeah - generally you can disable a lot of the tracking features.
Do I need to always keep the watch app open? If i log out from the app but leave bluetooth on, is watch still connected to the phone, or logging out of the app disonnect watch from the phone?
There's no need. Usually the syncs may happen in the background.
