   A value for money basic smartwatch. Best in this price segment.
   I’m writing this review after using the watch for 4 months.Pros:1. Battery life is excellent. You can use it in AOD mode for 7-8 days in light-medium usage. Full charging takes like 90 minutes in one go.2. Display is vibrant and crisp. The AMOLED used is excellent.3. The watch is very light and you can wear it easily 24/7 without any irritation.4. The GPS is mostly accurate. Don’t expect pinpoint accuracy but if you’re using it for basic features like step counting, calories burnt then it works fine.5. The sensors work fine.Cons:1. The volume on bluetooth calls is a bit on the low side. You can use it properly in quiet places but forget about using it in loud areas. You’ll have to switch to your phone there.2. AOD brightness is a bit low. It works fine indoors but you won’t be able to see it all under sunlight. There is no option to adjust AOD brightness level either.3. Sometimes the step counter will malfunction and fail to reset the step count after midnight. I have had this happen twice in my 4 months of usage.4. The number of watchfaces in the app is a bit lacking. There should have been more options available. We can’t install watchfaces from outside sources either.5. Bezels are a bit on the thicker side. Redmi should work on this.It’s a good watch overall but don’t expect features that are in Samsung or Apple smartwatches that are 5-10x the price of this watch. It’s a value for money product if you’re looking for a basic smartwatch to do basic stuff and just track your fitness.

   Overall good but distance feature need to be add on each watch face
   Overall, the watch is good for beginners. It allows you to track walking and running with the built-in GPS and heart rate feature. The GPS connection is quick, and the watch faces are well-designed.One area for improvement: Currently, only GPS-enabled walking and running activities show the distance covered. On the watch faces or even in the Fit app, when tracking steps without gps, it only displays the step count and not the total distance covered throughout the entire day. That’s the only drawback I noticed.

   Disappointing Experience with Several Missing Features and Bugs
   1. No Auto-Lock Feature: The watch lacks an auto-lock feature, such as unlocking by holding the side button. This is problematic in situations involving water (showering, washing hands, or rain), leading to accidental touch issues.2. Missing Auto-Brightness: At this price point, an auto-brightness feature is expected. Its absence impacts battery life, as brightness cannot adjust automatically to ambient light.3. No Compass or Water Reminder: Basic features like a compass and water reminder are missing, which are typically standard in smartwatches at this price.4. Inaccurate GPS: The GPS accuracy is subpar, affecting activity tracking.5. Software Bugs:Step counter issues: After completing 3260 steps yesterday, the stats failed to reset after midnight, showing yesterday’s data incorrectly. (As you can see in the image).Sleep tracking: The watch inaccurately recorded a nap while I was awake and moving regularly.Each time you make or receive a call, the volume automatically resets to the minimum. You have to manually increase it after every call, and there is no option to permanently set it to the maximum.Additionally, Xiaomi’s app only provides a basic breath quality score, whereas Amazfit offers more detailed information. In Amazfit, I found insights like how many times I experienced poor breath quality along with the specific times. Xiaomi’s app needs to offer more detailed data and insights for a better user experience.6. Google Calendar Sync Limitations: The watch only syncs events from Google Calendar but does not sync tasks, limiting its productivity functionality.Given these issues, the watch does not meet expectations at this price. The software is particularly disappointing. In comparison, Amazfit provided much more accurate tracking and better app data. I used Amazfit for 2 years, but due to a display issue, I decided to buy a new one and wanted to experience the Hyper OS ecosystem. Being a Xiaomi phone user, I expected more from their smartwatch, but the experience has been underwhelming. I hope future updates address the bugs and improve feature accuracy.In Amazfit, the Zepp OS provides additional features like app installations, which add value. However, I don’t see any unique features in Xiaomi’s Hyper OS. It feels as simple as what you’d find in other smartwatches in the ₹1,000-₹2,000 range like Fastrack, Fire-Bolt, Noise, Boat, or similar brands. There’s nothing special or any additional features like the ones Zepp OS offers. Xiaomi’s Hyper OS seems more like hype than actual innovation.It also lacks animated watch faces, which are common in other smartwatches. They really need to improve several aspects.After 9 months of usage speaker stopped working.
