Xiaomi Mi Watch Lite
₦42,000.00
The Redmi Watch 2 Lite runs a proprietary operating system. The app “Xiaomi Wear” is required for setup on Android while “Xiaomi Wear Lite” is required for iOS. For our test of the Redmi Watch 2 Lite, we primarily used the iOS app. We have definitely seen better smartwatch apps for both iOS and Android.
After the obligatory registration or login into the user’s Xiaomi account, the smartwatch can be easily set up. Simply tap on “Add Device” in the “Profile” menu and then select the Redmi Watch 2 Lite in the list. After that, the pairing process via Bluetooth starts, which is self-explanatory and went smoothly in our test of the Redmi Watch 2 Lite.
Five watch faces are preinstalled on the watch. Many more can be selected and transferred free of charge via the app. In addition, the smartphone app can be used to turn app notifications on and off and configure them, customize the widgets, and change the menu layout from grid to list, among other things.
The app can also be used to set how sensitive the display should be and how often it should turn on automatically when the user raises the arm, which almost always works reliably in practice.
The Redmi Watch 2 Lite is primarily operated via the touchscreen. On the home screen, you can swipe horizontally through various widgets that provide information about the heart rate, blood oxygen level, weather, and activities, as well as directly start a workout. A swipe down brings up notifications, and a swipe up brings up the control center with night mode, flashlight, and more.
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.
In addition to the pulse, SpO2 and sports tracking, which are discussed in more detail below, the menu offers apps for all-day stress tracking (must be activated via the app), breathing exercises, a cycle calendar, weather information, alarm clock, stopwatch and timer, as well as an electric compass, a phone locator function and a flashlight (display lights up white). In addition, the music playback and camera (including delay up to 5 seconds) of the connected smartphone can be controlled on the wrist.
