@@a_embleton foreal lol like I was I have UA-cam premium I might as well try out the music because I was on Google play music and I didn't like that but when they made a huge rebrand I decided to take the dive
Hi i have had the bluetooth only model for about 6 weeks now. I love it. It is comfortable to wear (i have a large wrist that helps), tracks sports easily. If i turn off the always on display i get nealry 3 days between charges. Charging takes about 30 mins from 10% to 100%
Hi thx for the awesome review. Ive been wearing this watch for under a month now. Always been a fan of the xiaomi universe. Im very satisfied with this as compared with my galaxywatch 5 based on 2 reasons: Battery Life & Sync with Mi Fitness App without any other conditions (like how Samsung holds u ransom to own a Samsung phone in order to utilise all the functions properly...blegh). The fitness and health functions on this watch is really great, it even has that body temperature reading that ACTUALLY works on the watch itself (unlike samsung's still empty promise) Stylistically, it's a beautiful watch, nothing extraordinary, although i still like the sleekness of the galaxy series. But my main gripe is 2 things: the hefty size and weight, which can be felt when wearing it and also the lack of size choices, as it comes with only 1 size. So people with smaller wrists may find it really out of place wearing it. Lucky enough for me, i fall in the middle category of wrist size, it still looks big though, but I've gotten used to it. My overall rating for this watch 8/10. I would personally recommend this over a Galaxy. Ouh, before i forget...battery is GREAT, although Xiaomi, i hope u could do 1 better with the charging port...it still is a dot click kind, lets step it up with the magnetic kind next round ya! Cheerios! Highly recommended watch where u can wear it and not think abt getting a same brand phone. Its a freeeee world!!! Hahahahha!
Having tested myself and seen reviews of many smartwatches for years. There are only two watches I can really recommand. Garmin forerunner 965 and Huawei Watch GT3PRO. Get the garmin if you more into sports and have a larger budget. Get the Huawei if you like style, built materials, basic functions and have a lower budget. Both watches have very accurate tracking and battery.
yeah the S1 pro never got updated.. sill 11 months in nothing no new watch faces.. no 3rd party apps to get any watch face. Like they just forgot it. So I would go with Huawei or Amazfit gtr 4
@@Danny-BigD Amazfit Balance now ;) But so far, good experience with Amazfit. My GTR 4 got regular updates and the Balance finally has NFC, so an use it for wireless payments.
See im here to see if the new model of xiaomi watch has fixed its issues with the heart rate monitor or energy level monitor as the s1 watch that i have me and lots of people have had and still have issues with those issues for many years with no wear os update ever came through meaning if your saying the new watch still has these issues all these years later then those issues are unlikely to ever be fixed meaning i will not be upgrading yet until i see those issues permanently fixed for the community
Nice video!! I am wondering if you could do a comparative about the xiaomi watch s1 pro and xiaomi watch 2 pro. I think would be very helpful to people like me that is undecided between this two smartwatches. Thanks!!
I will definitely be getting this to match with my newly acquired Xiaomi 13T Pro and Xiaomi Pad 6. BTW UA-cam Music is great and it saves an extra subscription to Spotify.
I'm undecided whether to buy the Amazfit Balance or the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro which one will be the best in your opinion in general in terms of price, quality and functions for the price
They're both great options, and you really can't go wrong with either one. They're priced the same, I think, and that's where the big differences lie. The Amazfit can do almost everything the Xiaomi can, but and excels in battery life, but actually falls short everywhere else. The Xiaomi has wear OS, so much more apps, including Google apps like maps, Waze and Google Wallet. While Amazfit has a payment app, it's nowhere near supported as Google Wallet. The Xiaomi also has an LTE version, which allows you to go running and leave your smartphone at home, and not worry about missing calls, or being unreachable or isolated in case of emergencies. I personally like the design of the Amazfit Balance more, but not enough to pick it over the Xiaomi.
What watch would you suggest for casual use(spotify listening and have some fun features). Xiaomi 2 pro , pixel 2 , huawei gt 4 or a galaxy 6 ? I'm with the 7pro phone and atm the old Pixel watch 2 has some random problems with it.
Really wish I had waited and got something like this watch than the Fossil Gen 6 last year (or when ever it was). When I got the thing it wanted to install wearos 3 a week in and I instantly lost access to google assistant and battery life could hardly make it through a single 18hr period.
Do not buy xiaomi they do not respect privacy. Their app is the only solution and you need to accept to give your data to make it work unless it don t even give you the time !
I love how this watch looks like an ordinary watch and yet packs such a great punch but about that Google music app how does it work and what is it supposed to do?
Hi, I wanna ask about synchronization. Can watch synchronization of data as steps, hr, activity, sleeep to Google fit ? Is possible using Mi Fitness(Xiaomi Wear) or using watch? Thanks
Hello ! I liked the review about that smartwatch. What i really need and want to know is the NFC method payment through the watch, because i have ING debit card(Maestro) and most of the NFC works only with Mastercard which requires CVC(that security code) when you have to install on Mi Fitness App. for that watch, because for ING is not required that CVC, so i must know for sure if it's possible to use the NFC funcion for payments with Google Wallet ? which i have it also through my Samsung S22 Ultra ! I really like that smartwatch and i want to buy it, is not expansive but it must worth the cost if it has Google Wallet included as i saw in the video ! If someone already has it, please let me know if the NFC function really works also for Maestro ING app. ? Thank you. 😬🤔🙏🏻
@@thabiso_morele not sure about the 3, but on the GTR 4/GTS4 and the new Balance, you can. You can transfer mp3 files onto the watch and play them. No support for music streaming apps though as their watches aren't running wearOS.
Well, at least it is lighter than the Samsung galaxy watch 6 classic and has a better battery than most top end Smart watches for a much better price too..
Mi Fitness application counts steps (Data source) from the phone Redmi Note 11 and smart watch Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro together so the walking data (step count) is duplicated. Any chance to fix this BIG problem.
Thanks for the great review! Looks like Samsung has some catch-up to doi n some areas. I may have missed it, but how many GB is the storage in this smartwatch? I read somewhere it is 128 GB. Really? Is this correct?
the case is stainless steel, the glass I think is gorilla glass 5, but I'm not sure, it's definitely not sapphire. Not too sure about the back, it doesn't say anything on the specs.
@@vakama94 Thanks for the information. Admittedly it uses a proprietary OS, but the Xiaomi S1 Pro does appear to have superior build quality together with a very long battery life.
@@terrym540 that is correct, my guess is that this Watch 2 Pro is Xiaomi testing the waters to see if there's interest in WearOS, at which point they would probably invest in something with better specs.
I ordered this watch, it's a great looking watch with Wear OS . Unfortunately it's drawback is the lousy Health tracking and sleep tracking. I hope they can/will improve this with a software update. It's useless for people who want good health tracking
I bought this watch but had to return it. Maybe I had the wrong piece, I don't know, but the battery only lasted about 12 hours and that was in flight mode (disable WIFI, GPS, BT), laid in the box. I thought I had some app stuck or something, but even after a factory reset it didn't fix it.
I mostly have it to see who is calling as I ride motorcycles a lot. Then attend calls when I am working and not taking the phone with me (fold3) which is a bit heavy for morning runs.
Hope they keep a line with their own OS. I don't want to have to charge my watch every day. Only to have some extra features you probable don't ever use.
7:25 is gold.
🤣
LMAO
lol
UA-cam music is actually great lol I switched from being a Spotify guy a while ago
Same! I use UA-cam a lot and so using UA-cam Premium was a no brainer for me. 2 birds 1 stone 😅
The algorithm has too much data already for me to move.
UA-cam premium for the win

Looks boring tbh but seems to do everything the big boys do as well! Why pay more?
What about sleep tracking and blood oxygen levels?
Does both very well so far, had about a week and data seems spot on.
I will definitely be getting this to match with my newly acquired Xiaomi 13T Pro and Xiaomi Pad 6. BTW UA-cam Music is great and it saves an extra subscription to Spotify.
How about gps accuracy?

Do not buy xiaomi they do not respect privacy. Their app is the only solution and you need to accept to give your data to make it work unless it don t even give you the time !
Love your videos mate, Keep it up! I don't think there is any video where you haven't used the word "Shenanigans" Lol!
Finally Xiaomi with Google Pay
I love how this watch looks like an ordinary watch and yet packs such a great punch but about that Google music app how does it work and what is it supposed to do?
got thi8s watch 2 days ago, fckin love it, so cool, i have the silver model with the leather strap and this thing looks absolutely gorgeous
Hi, thanks for the great review. Please suggest an affordable Watch (Under 100 GBP) focussed on fitness.
Is this even available for sale? I can't seem to find it being sold anywhere!
I also have baby chicken wrists. Which one out of all the ones you've tested do you think fits the best and is the most comfortable?
Could you please tell me more about heart rate sensor accuracy as compared with Samsung watch 6
It's not that great actually, I own one and am disappointed about it. In other departments it's a cool and great watch. Just not for sport fanatics
I happen to use UA-cam Music.....I chucked Spotify out on it's arse lol
7:25 hmmm
I use YT music...the music videos and karaoke feature is cool. I transfer playlists over from a free spotify account though lol
Hi, I wanna ask about synchronization. Can watch synchronization of data as steps, hr, activity, sleeep to Google fit ? Is possible using Mi Fitness(Xiaomi Wear) or using watch?

Tic watch pro 5 or Xiaomi Watch 2 pro?
Does the watch have an ecg or will that come via an update? Greetings
Has it got flick gestures like the ticwatch where you can read your messages up and down by flicking your wrists?

huavei watch is best 12 days battery on gt3 only shame they block payment and google
I'll stick with my amazfit GTR3 pro. 12 days battery life and mic and speaker for making and accepting calls. Great review as ever though 👍
Can you play music without your phone?
@@thabiso_morele not sure about the 3, but on the GTR 4/GTS4 and the new Balance, you can. You can transfer mp3 files onto the watch and play them. No support for music streaming apps though as their watches aren't running wearOS.
@@thabiso_moreleI used to own one before switching to garmin tactix, and yes you can transfer files to amazfit and play locally
I got mine at 179.4 GBP converted from my country price nice fit with redmi note 12 pro plus
Where can you buy these ? Why do I seem to be struggling 🙈
Well, at least it is lighter than the Samsung galaxy watch 6 classic and has a better battery than most top end Smart watches for a much better price too..
Will you review Amazfit Balance aswell?
Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro or Samsung Watch 6 Classic 47mm?
can you adjust the vibration level?
Nice looking watch at least
The black one does look somewhat bland, I would recommend the silver version.
Love the vid but 5 ATM is basically 50m WR which is not recommended for even showers let alone snorkelling
Great Video, Subscribed
Hope they release it in India, It'll sell like hot cakes
Currently it's impossible to use UA-cam without premium so why would I not YT Music if it's included in the price? :)
Mi Fitness application counts steps (Data source) from the phone Redmi Note 11 and smart watch Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro together so the walking data (step count) is duplicated. Any chance to fix this BIG problem.
I use UA-cam music used to be a Google play music person and switched over. I think like many things Google do it's very good
Where is the rotating bezel on this watch?
Is any chance to remove mobile Data Source in Mi Fitness application as application count steps from watch and mobile together.
When can we buy it?
can you pay with google pay with this watch?
yes
Thanks for the great review! Looks like Samsung has some catch-up to doi n some areas.
I may have missed it, but how many GB is the storage in this smartwatch? I read somewhere it is 128 GB. Really? Is this correct?
Nope. Its 32 GB. The actual storage will be less though.
Does it have a 'Recovery time' metric?
Does it have lte built in?
Does it support esim
Yes
Yup, but only on Vodafone and EE in UK, bloody expensive though...
What material is the case made from, and is the screen, and back just ordinary glass?
the case is stainless steel, the glass I think is gorilla glass 5, but I'm not sure, it's definitely not sapphire. Not too sure about the back, it doesn't say anything on the specs.

Is there any watch for Android that can show on its screeng what I am recording with my phone?
U got nfc on this?
