Cons
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
There is no Google Play or the usual Wear OS app catalogue. Calls require a phone within Bluetooth range because the watch has no independent LTE connection. Mi Fitness features can differ between Android and iPhone.
NFC does not guarantee support for every payment card. Check the supported banks and countries before buying; this is not a Wear OS watch with Google Wallet.
The advertised 24 days refers to light use. Xiaomi rates normal use at 12 days; frequent calls, an always-on screen and extended monitoring reduce that time.
Heart rate, SpO₂ and sleep estimates help track habits but do not replace medical diagnosis. Strap fit and wrist movement affect accuracy.
How do we assess advantages and disadvantages?
Our editorial assessment draws on specifications, manufacturer documentation and available material about the model. It does not imply our own laboratory testing. We distinguish physical RAM from virtual expansion; features and box contents can vary by market. Reference prices are conversions; check the store for the final price of an offer.
