About this deal

Unlike some budget smartwatches, the Watch 2 Lite does work with iOS and Android devices and our experience was spent largely with the latter. 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

The original Redmi Watch only supports 7 sports modes. But its successor Redmi Watch 2 arrives with a whopping 117 sports modes. 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 step

A Redmi Watch 2 Lite strap made of stainless steel

Without the strap, the Redmi Watch and Redmi Watch 2 measure 41 x 35 x 10.9mm and 39.1 x 34.4 x 9.98mm in dimensions respectively. In other words, the newer model is a bit smaller in form factor. This product and its features are not designed to be a medical device, and are not intended to predict, diagnose, prevent, or cure any disease.

There's just a solitary physical button the side of the case to turn wake up and turn off the touchscreen display, but it's not a crisp AMOLED one you'll find on premium smartwatches. It's a 1.5-inch, 320x360 TFT display, which is actually bigger and offers a higher resolution compared to the Xiaomi Watch Lite.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 The data doesn't look the prettiest in the app, but the data is accurate enough, despite there being few real useful actionable insights/

When you're tapping and swiping on that screen, responsiveness is fine, but there is some lagginess when scrolling through screens and your notification feed. It's not the worst we've seen at this price, but it's certainly not a buttery smooth experience. 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 and has been tested by the China National Horological Quality Supervision and Testing Center. It can be worn in the swimming pool, while swimming near the shore, or during other shallow-water activities. However, It cannot be used in hot showers, sauna, or diving. Furthermore, avoid the watch being directly impacted by swift currents during water sports. The water-resistant level is not permanent and may decline over time. 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. 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+. Supported Exercises: Outdoor Running, Treadmill, Outdoor Cycling, Indoor cycling, Freestyle, Walking, Trekking, Trail run, Pool swimming, Open water swimming, Elliptical, Rower, Jump Rope, HIIT, Yoga

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. 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 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.

Both screens support touch inputs and they use a gesture navigation system. Unfortunately, we only have the official PPI count for the Redmi Watch, which happens to be 323. 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 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. Most importantly, the wearable has a considerably better battery life with 12 days of endurance. On top of these, it is not only smaller but also lighter in weight.
