The duo comes with an accelerometer, an ambient light sensor, a compass, and an optical heart rate sensor. Additionally, the Redmi Watch 2 also has a gyroscope and an SpO2 sensor. Thanks to an energy-efficient screen, the latter is rated to last for 12 days on regular usage as opposed to 7 days on the former. However, users can get up to 12 days of endurance on the Redmi Watch by enabling a power-saving mode. It is quite possible that you mainly use your Redmi Watch 2 Lite during sporting occasions such as running, fitness or cycling, for example. Then, of course, you'll want a band that is comfortable and ensures that the skin can still breathe well. This is possible with our Redmi Watch 2 Lite sports band. It is made of silicone material that is light, soft and flexible, as well as water-resistant. This makes them suitable for any situation. The extra ventilation holes in this band allow the skin to breathe better, improving wearing comfort. A Redmi Watch 2 Lite strap made of stainless steel We've been putting the Redmi Watch 2 Lite through its paces to see if this is a cheap smartwatch worth considering. Here's our full verdict.

The gesture-based UI on the proprietary software is easy to get to grips with, so living with it isn't a taxing time. You do have to live with those laggy, slightly slow moments scrolling through screens, but it's a cheap smartwatch that performs solidly in this department. Sensors: Optical heart rate sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, electronic compassGPS / GLONASS / Galileo / BeiDou During our usual cycling test with the smartwatch, we noticed large deviations in comparison to a Polar H10 chest strap as a reference device during high dynamics, i.e. strongly fluctuating pulse values (interval training). Whereas the strap outputs readings of 122 (average) and 156 (maximum) for the activity, the smartwatch outputs 75 and 112. These are differences that are absolutely unacceptable to this extent and actually make the smartwatch unusable. And that's not all: Even for the resting pulse, the Redmi Watch 2 Lite initially showed significantly too high values compared to the reference in the first of our two testers It's a neat and tidy smartwatch in appearance. Crucially doesn't feel cheap, the screen is reasonably good quality, and it is one you should be able to wear 24/7 indoors and outdoors no problem. Both Redmi Watch and Redmi Watch 2 pair with smartphones via Bluetooth 5.0 and Xiaomi Wear application. They can be used with any handset running Android 5.0+ or iOS 10.0+.So is it worth spending more on the latest Redmi Watch 2 or should you save some penny by settling down for the Redmi Watch? We try to answer this question in our detailed comparison of these two wearables’ specifications Redmi Watch 2 vs Redmi Watch: Detailed Specs Comparison REM: need to turn on advanced sleep monitoring in additional settings on Xiaomi Wear/Xiaomi Wear Lite App to have this feature.*Battery life test data has been obtained from 70mai Labs. Actual results may vary. They are 5ATM water-resistant and have a single physical button on the right side. Further, the front is fully occupied by the screen, whereas the rear houses a pogo pin for charging and a window for the biometric sensor. So how well does the Watch 2 Lite perform? Well, we'd say actually not that bad overall, but if you want supreme accuracy on all fronts, unsurprisingly, you're not going to get that here.

On the watch, you can swipe down from the main watch screen to view new notifications and you can clearly see where notifications have come from. In more heavy use, the Watch 2 Lite will go for up to 5 days. Our testing time definitely veered more on the heavy side and we'd say those battery claims are accurate. The single button on the right side is used to call the menu. Pressing the button for three seconds opens the system menu for turning off and restarting. By default, the menu presents itself in many small icons without textual explanation. Three icons are displayed in a row, which provides for sufficiently large touch surfaces. The menu is scrolled through via a vertical swipe.

On top of these, it is not only smaller but also lighter in weight. ATM water resistance: Redmi Watch 2 Lite has a water resistance rating of 5ATM (50 meters in depth). The rating is based on standard GB/T 30106-2013

As a running watch, you can set up alerts based on time and distance and set goals based on time, calorie and distance. After a 3-second countdown you can scroll through to see information like pace, average pace, heart rate, stride, cadence and data from your previous kilometre. Typical mode battery life data was measured as follows: The watch was set to default factory settings. Sleep monitoring, 30-minute interval heart rate monitoring and non-stop stepThe data doesn't look the prettiest in the app, but the data is accurate enough, despite there being few real useful actionable insights/ While sleeping heart rate impressed, heart rate monitoring during the day seemed a bit more unreliable, tagging us in general with a resting heart rate 10bpm over our usual. You''re also getting stress data, which is powered by heart rate variability measurements, which suggested there weren't very many stressful parts of our day, but doesn't offer any really useful insights around why it's monitoring your stress.

Despite being slightly smaller than the original, the Remi Watch 2 flaunts a larger 1.6-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 320 x 360 pixels. The Redmi Watch from last year sports a comparatively tinier 1.4-inch TFT LCD panel with a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels. Unlike some budget smartwatches, the Watch 2 Lite does work with iOS and Android devices and our experience was spent largely with the latter. While heart rate and SpO2 measurement are standard nowadays even in even cheaper smartwatches, integrated GPS and more than 100 sports modes are quite eye-catching. There are also some practical features like music and camera control as well as breathing exercises, which are also not uncommon on other smartwatches. Once you're set up, which is something that was nice and painless to do, it's worth heading into this app, particularly if you want to make sure features like notifications and incoming call alerts are enabled as well as some of the more advanced health monitoring features.Recently, Redmi launched a budget smartwatch called Redmi Watch 2 . It is the successor to Redmi Watch from 2020. The new model is costlier than its predecessor. For extra cash, it brings some improvements over the original product. Redmi Watch 2
