The king of reviews!! I just bought my galaxy watch 4... but these xiomi watches were definitely on my radar.. but seeing this .. I kinda have regrets 😅
hey, i have a question. Has image delays? have you encountered such problems? i heard some people saying something about that and i wanted to know your experience with that. thaanks !!!
Heya It's rare that I get to keep what I review but Xiaomi let me keep the watch. I can say I have experienced no issues at all. Nothing. The watch does lack functionality (because it is entry level) But it's never stalled, lagged or given me any issues at all
Hey From the app I see connect to Strava via the third party data in the settings. Google fit: I cant see a direct connection. From research you can use an app to sync it or try through Zepp life. There are also links for Huami but I need to play with this more Music with headphones through watch: No unfortunately
Heya I would assume it has a good level of accuracy. I can't comment to that as it speaks to an expertise I don't have. But I am sure they would not put something sub par
Sorry for the late reply. I have been trying to check and I do not think so. The message notification is not as thorough as a Samsung or apple but again it's not even close to the price
Heya So I can't answer 100 Percent accurately but I can give you my insight. Generally these devices all use the same tech when it comes to heart rate, pedometer etc, so I don't think there will be a major, if any difference. The reason Samsung etc are so much more expensive is because of different items like screen and battery etc (as well as brand tax)
How accurate is the step tracking on this watch? I just got the Mi Band 8 from this company and am already a bit weary of the steps being horribly off. I am still testing the watch, but when I went for a 5k step walk with the watch on and a tally device in the other hand to count each step- the watch was always either 200-400 steps behind or just didn't count the steps at all. That being only one test, I'm hoping it was a fluke and will keep testing for the remainder of the week...I know the mi band 8 is only $50, but I was hoping it could at least keep track of steps somewhat reliably. In the event i return this watch, I would love any suggestions for a watch that could fit these criteria- $150 or less (pretax of course) 1.4 to 1.8 inch screen (36-46mm) oled or amoled screen Reliable step tracking at least 5 day battery life GPS is not necessary, but isn't opposed either.
Heya Sorry you have a bad experience with the band. It goes on things I am not an expert in but let me try. The steps use a pedometer which basically works on movement rather than actual steps. You want the little dial to go back and forth to register the steps. So the best thing to do is make sure you are swaying your arms when walking (not extreme or silly but make sure your arms are moving). Honestly I would not be surprised if the top tier watches all the way to the entry level use the same pedometer in the device.
Heya So you need to ensure your app and device are both to the same country or it will not work. If India is not there (I'm sure it is), use Dubai for both app and device
Hi there, can I kindly ask, do I have to be wearing the watch for it to vibrate when a notification comes through? Sometimes I wear a cuff under my watches and have found some don't vibrate if the watch can't detect that I'm wearing it. cheers
Hi! I’ve got this one this week, but I have problems with the Bluetooth connection… I dunno understand why, on an iPhone, it is disconnected once I close the Mi Fit app - which makes the Found My Phone feature almost useless😩 is it normal, or the watch isn’t working right? Because I had a smart band before paired with the same iPhone and such problem didn’t happen… thank you in advance!
Heya So I had mine on Andriod. But when experiencing these types of issues it's best to clear the device. Factory reset the watch and then in the phone forget the device. Start from new and that should do the trick Also ensure the watch is up to date etc
Hi bro, today i got the redmi watch3 but the problem is this when i put it on charge it start from 64 to 84 but after that it is not charging up so please advise what i need to do for this please give me a good advise
Heya you saying it's not charging fully or at all? The points are magnetized so you have to put it on correctly. But if you are putting it on correctly and it's not charging fully you should return it for a replacement
i would like to hear how the a call sounds like. i mean i would like to hear you talk to some one on it. and how does it work in a pool. im a swimmer and i need it ro be waterproof enough to stay 2 hours right under the water surface.
@@WootDini thanks for the info. i still wanna actually hear it for my self. Another reviewer said he had the watch on in a pool and nothing happend....i like you review just wish that it wasn`t just talk about the watch, but also included actual tests....
Heya bud. So I have tried everything and cannot seem to change it. From what I have seen, you are not the first to make this comment and people have raised the issue. I will reach out to Xiaomi and ask them if they can try do a firmware update as it should not be that big of a change

Galaxy is good :) I have seen them in action and they defo awesome.
I like the simplicity of xiaomis

Can you sync to Strava or google fit? Also can you listen to music with wireless headphones off it?
Hey
From the app I see connect to Strava via the third party data in the settings.
Google fit: I cant see a direct connection. From research you can use an app to sync it or try through Zepp life. There are also links for Huami but I need to play with this more
Music with headphones through watch: No unfortunately
Hi there
How detailed are sleep tracking results?
Heya
I would assume it has a good level of accuracy. I can't comment to that as it speaks to an expertise I don't have. But I am sure they would not put something sub par
@@WootDini Thank you for your response
Does this support double tap feature to wake?
Just tried it. Double tapping screen wakes watch or turn on display
Does it show emojis in message notifications?
Sorry for the late reply.
I have been trying to check and I do not think so.
The message notification is not as thorough as a Samsung or apple but again it's not even close to the price
compatble with alexa?
There does not seem to be any voice recognition on the watch. I cannot use "ok google" so don't think Alexa would work
Can it receive Microsoft teams notifications?
Heya, I dont think so, it will only share calendar events, sms and app notifications from what I have seen
Does it lose any performance after a few months?
Hey
I still use mine.
Battery lasts a little less but the performance is the same
Is it possible to make phonecalls with messenger or whats up?
Heya
So far I can only receive normal calls. I can't make calls at all
Yes, same for me, Messenger and WhatsApp only leaves a notification on the watch.
@@torstenedvardsson1480 yea , unfortunately it is a limitation. But it's a fraction of the cost of its competitors
Are these really accurate compared when it comes to heart rate, tracking steps, etc to more expensive smartwatches like Samsung Galaxy Watches?
Heya
So I can't answer 100 Percent accurately but I can give you my insight.
Generally these devices all use the same tech when it comes to heart rate, pedometer etc, so I don't think there will be a major, if any difference.

Does this watch have esim
Heya
Not from what I can see
Hi! Is this good for swimming? Thanks!
No issues to swim with :)
It have only a outdoor sport activity? How can I add other sports?
Hey
It's not about picking a sport. It's about the metrics it tracks like heart rate, spo2 etc
Quick question: Can you read Outlook emails on this? Thanks.
Heya
Not read but it does give notification of meeting or message recieved
@@WootDini Thanks a lot.
@@WootDini another quick question, is there a preview of the message notifications? Or the sender, etc.? Thanks again
Can the watch band be replaced?
Yez
Official website never has any stock !
@@ciaransmyth99 I'd recommend buying it from daraz, I bought mine the quality is the same

I bought this watch in Dubai. But I am unable to configure in India. When I choose region as India watch does not find the device. Any solutions?

Tested this for you.
Irrespective if wearing or not it vibrates
Is there games on yo watch?
Elo
No games no
Sadly cannot install additional widgets like CGM alerts.
It is a very basic model yea :) it's function more than sophistication

Start from new and that should do the trick
Also ensure the watch is up to date etc
Website says LCD not amoled
Watch 3 active is lcd and watch 3 is amoled
See there was a reply to clarify
Hi bro,
today i got the redmi watch3 but the problem is this when i put it on charge it start from 64 to 84 but after that it is not charging up so please advise what i need to do for this please give me a good advise
Heya you saying it's not charging fully or at all?
The points are magnetized so you have to put it on correctly. But if you are putting it on correctly and it's not charging fully you should return it for a replacement
@@WootDini yeah it was not fully charging but now i changed the adapter and now it is charging fully thanks bro
Welcome and I am glad :)
Should it be charged before first turning it on please? I can’t find this info anywhere
Hey
Always best to fully charge before first use.
i would like to hear how the a call sounds like. i mean i would like to hear you talk to some one on it. and how does it work in a pool. im a swimmer and i need it ro be waterproof enough to stay 2 hours right under the water surface.
Hey call is fairly clear but not cell phone clear.
But definately not going to work under water
@@WootDini thanks for the info. i still wanna actually hear it for my self. Another reviewer said he had the watch on in a pool and nothing happend....i like you review just wish that it wasn`t just talk about the watch, but also included actual tests....
When they decide to add like 2Gb storage and TWS connectivity then it will make more sense at least to me
Heya :)
If I can ask, why would you want on board storage and tws. My understanding is tws is more for audio
@@WootDini so that I can be able to connect to wireless earphones, listen to local mp3s while I run. duh 🙄
Hahahahaha washing them dishes does build up a sweat!
Lol did it again the other day
R5 coin gave me the perfect dimensions
Lol best I had :)
Can you listen to music?
Elo
From this watch no
Shot boet
Welcome :)
Great watch. Any idea how to set the clock to 24hr and make the date read DD/MM/YYYY. not. MM/DD/YYYY
Heya bud.
So I have tried everything and cannot seem to change it.
From what I have seen, you are not the first to make this comment and people have raised the issue.
I will reach out to Xiaomi and ask them if they can try do a firmware update as it should not be that big of a change
Have worked out set phone to 24hr and watch then changes. There is no longer a select date config for new samsung. Maybe that's the issue
