    Redmi Watch 4 for the win... I own the Amazfit GTR2e, GTR 4 and the Balance... A lot of features are paid like aura and watch faces. The app is cluttered and all watches are super slow on bluetooth connect... The Redmi Watch 4 is super quick on connect and pretty precise and got a simple app and crazy battery life. Love the tiles setup on Redmi but could wish for more watch faces and a bit annoyed on the date format MM:DD :( Love that the Redmi have a crown and auto brightness. Also loves when I put my phone in DND the watch also goes in DND 👍 Sleeptracking is also better on Redmi since I work nightshifts, amazfit didn't recon that I slept in the day
