Mate, this would be the 5th piece of technology I acquire thanks to your practical and, no-nonsense, yet entertaining reviews. Keep up the good work, mate.
I've had e Samsung galaxy watch active 2 recently. It got broken when I was having a bath. Shitty quality. Also that screen got scratches still, since the clock was more clumsy and thicker compared to this Xiaomi watch!
beautiful review! I've been considering getting the S1 watch but the people at the Mi Store couldn't explain the differences between the Active and the non-active. Your review made me decide to get the S1 version. kudos to you! :)
Yup. Just copped a S1 2 hours ago. Guy at the counter said the S1 had sapphire glass and that was it xD So far so good, and im impressed with the features.
After researching Samsung, Garmin, I found this video and I was sold. Premium build, sapphire glass, long battery life and great features and interface. Best of all much cheaper than the aforementioned brands. Went for the S1 silver, btw
Absolutely hate having a digital face on the "always on" screen when I have an analogue face when awake. I want it to keep the same look in either mode.
I just bought the S1 yesterday, came from a Samsung gear fit 2 Pro, and my my it is really nice... Has all the features of my gear fit and some... Love it!
Thanks for the review. What's the level of notifications sync with the phone? Can a notification be dismissed via the watch? Will it be dismissed from the phone as well?
Imagine first uploading a video on a Samsung midranger that hasn't even been announced yet. That'd be so silly, but that'd never happen to good ol' Chris, would it. Anyway, keep up the good work, I like your videos.
Would be nice to see a review of these watches the test the accuracy of the health apps such as heart rate and oxygen level. I recently bought and returned an Apple Watch series 7 because none of the health features could be set to constantly monitor and alert you if there was a problem. To me as a 75-year-old man these are what these watches a good four. I have an iPhone 12 pro to do everything else so why do I need one of these things if the health features don't work accurately.
If all you want is health features and not worried about "smart watch" features then get a Garmin. They can continuously monitor heart rate and last for weeks but they are expensive.
Nice review. How does it work with iphones? Any unusable features? I dont like Apple Watches so looking for different options. Huawei watches looks amazing but doesnt let iphone users to control almost nothing.
Samsung Is Getting Garbage Day By Day! I Used To Be A Samsung Fan Boi But Now I Just Hate Samsung, There're Removing Charger From Box, No Amoled Display In Midrange Phones And A 8MP Selfie Camera And The Shitti Exynos Processor!
@@joserascon3900 The big thing is that Alexa is not available (at least for me). Also there is no way to personalize anything like I saw some Android user do. The app works but is incomplete.
I'm stuck between one of these, the Amazfit GTR4, and the Huawei GT3, but I live in the US, does the Xiaomi work fine in the US? Because I have heard Huawei has some issues. I currently have the Honor Magic Watch 2 and it was great but started glitching on me after 2 and half years.
Nice watch! As a swimmer I would like to know if it keeps tracking the pulse under water and if it has a drill log (manual log of kicks and special exercises which a SM can not detect). Do you know any of that?
Did anyone see him posting a review on the galaxy a53 and immediately removing it from the public? I had a notification and it's still in my notification history lol
Sir, is it capable to control your iphone’s camera? if yes, will you be able to view the image on your watch before capturing? And lastly, does the camera able to control video on your iphone? Thank you.
Hi, thanks fir the review. Is it possible to use a custom picture and have it on always on display mode? I have this feature on my old Amazfit Pace and I love seeing my children on my wrist.
Hi there...quick question here, how you use the camera feature in Watch S1...any application need to install?? Tried but the display in Watch S1 blank.
Great review Mr B, how do rate this against the huawei watch gt3 (I think you've had that strapped to your wrist for the last....well, forever!)? Also, price and when are they on sale here in the UK? Chars.
Swiping up for the controls seems like anothet thing they've nicked from apple 🤣. They've managed to pull it off though. Beautiful watches and another top review uncle spurt
It's not like they had much choice what did you expect them to do? Down is notifications so it leaves up and to the sides and to the sides doesn't make sense so that leaves up
Just a warning to anyone considering buying these. I got the regular S1 and after a month it suddenly stopped reading heart rate and sp02 altogether. I'm now having to get it serviced.
Hello. I have Mi watch and I want to buy S1 Active. I wanted to know if the screen lights up when the notifications come. Without moving our arm. Because Huawei GT2 doesn't light up. Thank you in advance.
Didnt know if it was mention but is there any way to upload music to the device to play without the phone? Im new to Smartwaches so I dont know if its usually a Premium feauture. I Bought this device but I dont see any option to do this.
Hi. I bought this watch a few weeks back. It's great but I'm having a strange problem; it won't download new face watches. Simply says "couldn't apply". I've tried everything. Can some help please?!
Can anyone pls tell what is the screen size or watch face size for this s1 active inorder to order screen protector. I searched everywhere in google but no info. Pls help
How do you change units to miles instead of kilometres? Also did you find the heart rate monitor accurate as one time mine was reading 140-146bpm while I was lay down, my Fitbit was reading 76-83bpm and my Mi11 was reading 85bpm? Cheers
Hello ! Can anyone explain to me why when I ask for an update it says ,, Couldn't update.Try again ,, ... And when I try to download someone watch faces it says the same ...?

Keep up the good work, mate.
I know it comes down to cost but it seems silly to not have the tougher sapphire screen on a model that sports "active" branding
this is the diff b/w samsung and xiaomi for smartwatches.
Sounds silly, but I've had a glass watch screen for decades and never broken it.
I've had e Samsung galaxy watch active 2 recently. It got broken when I was having a bath. Shitty quality. Also that screen got scratches still, since the clock was more clumsy and thicker compared to this Xiaomi watch!

Interesting. I had the same experience with a Mi Store near me too.
🤣
Same to me. Xiaomi has to get serious on this
Yup. Just copped a S1 2 hours ago. Guy at the counter said the S1 had sapphire glass and that was it xD So far so good, and im impressed with the features.
The design of s1 active is damn good
After researching Samsung, Garmin, I found this video and I was sold. Premium build, sapphire glass, long battery life and great features and interface. Best of all much cheaper than the aforementioned brands.
Went for the S1 silver, btw
Are you satisfied with the watch? Thanks
That white is definitely prettier than the black one, but thinking if it will get yellowish or get dirty easily 🤔
The S1 is more durable but I really like the design of the S1 active. Might go on for that one.
I have Huawei Watch GT2 for more than 1 year. Now going to go to change - Xiaomi Watch S1 Active - NFC is great. I`m waiting for this !
How does it compare to the GT2?
Absolutely hate having a digital face on the "always on" screen when I have an analogue face when awake. I want it to keep the same look in either mode.
Is this possible?
@@Sebastian-hx4zx it is with some watches, I have the Amazfit GTR2 and it does this.
Who got a new notification when he uploaded the a53 review but then he set it to private
Excellent review, thanks! I have been looking forward to this watch. Odd item about the charging difference between the models.
Yea don.t buy it, buy a smartwatch running the Wear OS.
I just bought the S1 yesterday, came from a Samsung gear fit 2 Pro, and my my it is really nice... Has all the features of my gear fit and some... Love it!
What's the price if you don't mind saying?
@@AhmedAkram903 $269
@@vengellesenitsuga6362 damn that's expensive
Not worth it for me when Samsung, Fitbit and Huawei offerings are cheaper
Thats dollar price from websites, but where i live its around 150 to 200 dollars...
Just bought a active for 90€ :D
Thanks for the review.

Maybe, but their software arent.

That’s just not true the Apple Watch will notify you if something is off the only thing it can’t is constantly do a ecg
If all you want is health features and not worried about "smart watch" features then get a Garmin. They can continuously monitor heart rate and last for weeks but they are expensive.
When always on display, can it also go to full watch face when you lift it to your face. The OnePlus watch does this.
Nice review. How does it work with iphones? Any unusable features? I dont like Apple Watches so looking for different options. Huawei watches looks amazing but doesnt let iphone users to control almost nothing.
Dang I was so excited for the a53 5g notification I got
I need that and the A73

Awesome review, thanks! Can you access your Google calendar on these somehow?
Nice review. Just got the Active one, very nice watch. Too bad Mi Fitness on IOS is nowhere near as complete as the Android version.
really? how? what are the differences? i have not found any videos regarding that and i am an iphone user
@@joserascon3900 The big thing is that Alexa is not available (at least for me). Also there is no way to personalize anything like I saw some Android user do. The app works but is incomplete.
Can you answer iPhone calls on the S1 and talk from it?
Hey great review you help me to decide like always ❤
Uhh. Actually,,, really want to see the comparison between other smartwatches especially...in terms of health measurements accuracy activity..:)

Thank you for the many smartwatch reviews. They have helped understand which one suits me best. I owe you a pint.
What is the maximum distance between the phone and the smartwatch the watch receiving notifications and calls?
Hey!! Cheers for the review, i want to buy this for my father in law, do you know if active and regular have the same strap, will they fit each other?
2:41 pretty sure they do fella. 👍
Nice watch!
As a swimmer I would like to know if it keeps tracking the pulse under water and if it has a drill log (manual log of kicks and special exercises which a SM can not detect).
Do you know any of that?
Just ordered one for the NFC payments. Should have watched your video first. I already have the regular Mi watch, so no upgrade whatsoever.

How many AOD faces are available on S1?
Hi brother does it have the action to turn off bluetooth or it is always on feature? I can't find the setting to off its bluetooth
Hi Tech Spurt, can we listen to music without phone 🤔 3rd party app support like Spotify or TH-cam music ???
Do they have vibration?
I'm thinking of switching from amazfit, but I saw in a review no vibration motor...
Didnt know if it was mention but is there any way to upload music to the device to play without the phone? Im new to Smartwaches so I dont know if its usually a Premium feauture. I Bought this device but I dont see any option to do this.

Nice vid, Bro! Just two little questions: Can I change the watchface on the always-on state - and how strong is the vibration motor? Rock on!
That's the always on mode. You cant make your custom watchface appear during AOD mode.
@@AlMamunVideos Thanks, Al
Is it correct that other than the china version the global Version has no 4gb internal storage for music?
Can u review the alexa and can calculator be installed on this watch ?
Would it work good with iphone also?
Good review as always.
On a side note, You don't seem short. I've always pictured you as a skinny tall guy. 😂
Can we install 3rd party apps on either watch ?
Like Facer, Spotify and watchmaker
Bought watch is the same company, the same os. I go to Active, than the wireless charging, yes active for me. I think wireless is good and durable.
headsup... xiaomi's wear app does NOT SYNC with google fit, if that is something you'd like...
How do you change units to miles instead of kilometres?
Also did you find the heart rate monitor accurate as one time mine was reading 140-146bpm while I was lay down, my Fitbit was reading 76-83bpm and my Mi11 was reading 85bpm? Cheers
You might have a medical condition. Count your heart rate manually
Just bought the S1 active for £82. Fingers crossed.
do you recommend, looking at pulling trigger on one today? steps etc in your opinion good or bad?
Which smartphone were you using in the video?
This is the only alternative I would consider to replace my Galaxy Watch OG. No one else packs that battery life for a full featured smartwatch. Gj
Bro you not heard of Huawei? Best batteries about and watches
Which is that one? Great review!
Hi , is the watch able to make calls and play music?
May I know the price for US ?
Which one to purchase, S1 active vs Galaxy Watch 5?
Can you add music on the watch and play them internally?
Where do you buy this ?
can we call contacts with watch s1 active? or just Answer the incoming call?
