Hi i have had the bluetooth only model for about 6 weeks now. I love it. It is comfortable to wear (i have a large wrist that helps), tracks sports easily. If i turn off the always on display i get nealry 3 days between charges. Charging takes about 30 mins from 10% to 100%
@@a_embleton foreal lol like I was I have TH-cam premium I might as well try out the music because I was on Google play music and I didn't like that but when they made a huge rebrand I decided to take the dive
Having tested myself and seen reviews of many smartwatches for years. There are only two watches I can really recommand. Garmin forerunner 965 and Huawei Watch GT3PRO. Get the garmin if you more into sports and have a larger budget. Get the Huawei if you like style, built materials, basic functions and have a lower budget. Both watches have very accurate tracking and battery.
yeah the S1 pro never got updated.. sill 11 months in nothing no new watch faces.. no 3rd party apps to get any watch face. Like they just forgot it. So I would go with Huawei or Amazfit gtr 4
@@Danny-BigD Amazfit Balance now ;) But so far, good experience with Amazfit. My GTR 4 got regular updates and the Balance finally has NFC, so an use it for wireless payments.
Hi thx for the awesome review. Ive been wearing this watch for under a month now. Always been a fan of the xiaomi universe. Im very satisfied with this as compared with my galaxywatch 5 based on 2 reasons: Battery Life & Sync with Mi Fitness App without any other conditions (like how Samsung holds u ransom to own a Samsung phone in order to utilise all the functions properly...blegh). The fitness and health functions on this watch is really great, it even has that body temperature reading that ACTUALLY works on the watch itself (unlike samsung's still empty promise) Stylistically, it's a beautiful watch, nothing extraordinary, although i still like the sleekness of the galaxy series. But my main gripe is 2 things: the hefty size and weight, which can be felt when wearing it and also the lack of size choices, as it comes with only 1 size. So people with smaller wrists may find it really out of place wearing it. Lucky enough for me, i fall in the middle category of wrist size, it still looks big though, but I've gotten used to it. My overall rating for this watch 8/10. I would personally recommend this over a Galaxy. Ouh, before i forget...battery is GREAT, although Xiaomi, i hope u could do 1 better with the charging port...it still is a dot click kind, lets step it up with the magnetic kind next round ya! Cheerios! Highly recommended watch where u can wear it and not think abt getting a same brand phone. Its a freeeee world!!! Hahahahha!
Just bought it after owning Galaxy Active 2 and Galaxy Watch 4 classic for about 4 years, it's a great upgrade at a very reasonable price. Wish I could have found the TicWatch 5 PRO or Enduro at that price, but it'll do fine.
I will definitely be getting this to match with my newly acquired Xiaomi 13T Pro and Xiaomi Pad 6. BTW TH-cam Music is great and it saves an extra subscription to Spotify.
Nice video!! I am wondering if you could do a comparative about the xiaomi watch s1 pro and xiaomi watch 2 pro. I think would be very helpful to people like me that is undecided between this two smartwatches. Thanks!!
See im here to see if the new model of xiaomi watch has fixed its issues with the heart rate monitor or energy level monitor as the s1 watch that i have me and lots of people have had and still have issues with those issues for many years with no wear os update ever came through meaning if your saying the new watch still has these issues all these years later then those issues are unlikely to ever be fixed meaning i will not be upgrading yet until i see those issues permanently fixed for the community
Really wish I had waited and got something like this watch than the Fossil Gen 6 last year (or when ever it was). When I got the thing it wanted to install wearos 3 a week in and I instantly lost access to google assistant and battery life could hardly make it through a single 18hr period.
I'm undecided whether to buy the Amazfit Balance or the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro which one will be the best in your opinion in general in terms of price, quality and functions for the price
They're both great options, and you really can't go wrong with either one. They're priced the same, I think, and that's where the big differences lie. The Amazfit can do almost everything the Xiaomi can, but and excels in battery life, but actually falls short everywhere else. The Xiaomi has wear OS, so much more apps, including Google apps like maps, Waze and Google Wallet. While Amazfit has a payment app, it's nowhere near supported as Google Wallet. The Xiaomi also has an LTE version, which allows you to go running and leave your smartphone at home, and not worry about missing calls, or being unreachable or isolated in case of emergencies. I personally like the design of the Amazfit Balance more, but not enough to pick it over the Xiaomi.
What watch would you suggest for casual use(spotify listening and have some fun features). Xiaomi 2 pro , pixel 2 , huawei gt 4 or a galaxy 6 ? I'm with the 7pro phone and atm the old Pixel watch 2 has some random problems with it.
Do not buy xiaomi they do not respect privacy. Their app is the only solution and you need to accept to give your data to make it work unless it don t even give you the time !
I love how this watch looks like an ordinary watch and yet packs such a great punch but about that Google music app how does it work and what is it supposed to do?
Mi Fitness application counts steps (Data source) from the phone Redmi Note 11 and smart watch Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro together so the walking data (step count) is duplicated. Any chance to fix this BIG problem.
@@thabiso_morele not sure about the 3, but on the GTR 4/GTS4 and the new Balance, you can. You can transfer mp3 files onto the watch and play them. No support for music streaming apps though as their watches aren't running wearOS.
I ordered this watch, it's a great looking watch with Wear OS . Unfortunately it's drawback is the lousy Health tracking and sleep tracking. I hope they can/will improve this with a software update. It's useless for people who want good health tracking
Hello ! I liked the review about that smartwatch. What i really need and want to know is the NFC method payment through the watch, because i have ING debit card(Maestro) and most of the NFC works only with Mastercard which requires CVC(that security code) when you have to install on Mi Fitness App. for that watch, because for ING is not required that CVC, so i must know for sure if it's possible to use the NFC funcion for payments with Google Wallet ? which i have it also through my Samsung S22 Ultra ! I really like that smartwatch and i want to buy it, is not expansive but it must worth the cost if it has Google Wallet included as i saw in the video ! If someone already has it, please let me know if the NFC function really works also for Maestro ING app. ? Thank you. 😬🤔🙏🏻
Hi, I wanna ask about synchronization. Can watch synchronization of data as steps, hr, activity, sleeep to Google fit ? Is possible using Mi Fitness(Xiaomi Wear) or using watch? Thanks
I mostly have it to see who is calling as I ride motorcycles a lot. Then attend calls when I am working and not taking the phone with me (fold3) which is a bit heavy for morning runs.
the case is stainless steel, the glass I think is gorilla glass 5, but I'm not sure, it's definitely not sapphire. Not too sure about the back, it doesn't say anything on the specs.
@@vakama94 Thanks for the information. Admittedly it uses a proprietary OS, but the Xiaomi S1 Pro does appear to have superior build quality together with a very long battery life.
@@terrym540 that is correct, my guess is that this Watch 2 Pro is Xiaomi testing the waters to see if there's interest in WearOS, at which point they would probably invest in something with better specs.
Thanks for the great review! Looks like Samsung has some catch-up to doi n some areas. I may have missed it, but how many GB is the storage in this smartwatch? I read somewhere it is 128 GB. Really? Is this correct?
Well, at least it is lighter than the Samsung galaxy watch 6 classic and has a better battery than most top end Smart watches for a much better price too..
I bought this watch but had to return it. Maybe I had the wrong piece, I don't know, but the battery only lasted about 12 hours and that was in flight mode (disable WIFI, GPS, BT), laid in the box. I thought I had some app stuck or something, but even after a factory reset it didn't fix it.
Hope they keep a line with their own OS. I don't want to have to charge my watch every day. Only to have some extra features you probable don't ever use.
7:25 is gold.

Good to see more channels covering the watch. I wonder if this will be updated soon to Wear OS 4.

What about sleep tracking and blood oxygen levels?
Does both very well so far, had about a week and data seems spot on.
Finally Xiaomi with Google Pay
What watch would you suggest for casual use(spotify listening and have some fun features). Xiaomi 2 pro , pixel 2 , huawei gt 4 or a galaxy 6 ? I'm with the 7pro phone and atm the old Pixel watch 2 has some random problems with it.
For that the Watch 2 Pro is excellent, sports tracking it's not that great unfortunately

Hi, thanks for the great review. Please suggest an affordable Watch (Under 100 GBP) focussed on fitness.
Looks boring tbh but seems to do everything the big boys do as well! Why pay more?
Love your videos mate, Keep it up! I don't think there is any video where you haven't used the word "Shenanigans" Lol!

Is any chance to remove mobile Data Source in Mi Fitness application as application count steps from watch and mobile together.
I'll stick with my amazfit GTR3 pro. 12 days battery life and mic and speaker for making and accepting calls. Great review as ever though 👍
Can you play music without your phone?
@@thabiso_morele not sure about the 3, but on the GTR 4/GTS4 and the new Balance, you can. You can transfer mp3 files onto the watch and play them. No support for music streaming apps though as their watches aren't running wearOS.

Tic watch pro 5 or Xiaomi Watch 2 pro?
Can it be used with Tesla app 🤞?
Will you review Amazfit Balance aswell?
Could you please tell me more about heart rate sensor accuracy as compared with Samsung watch 6
It's not that great actually, I own one and am disappointed about it. In other departments it's a cool and great watch. Just not for sport fanatics

Does this do blood pressure?
I happen to use TH-cam Music.....I chucked Spotify out on it's arse lol

Yes
Yup, but only on Vodafone and EE in UK, bloody expensive though...
I use YT music...the music videos and karaoke feature is cool. I transfer playlists over from a free spotify account though lol

U got nfc on this?
When does it come out in the US markets?
Looking at the relationship between the US and China, probably never
