This is a quick video to share some of my experience, Pros and Cons after have been actively using the watch for over a month on iPhone. I've compared it with Android as well. It's intended to give you some ideas what the experience will be like when using it with iPhone. I like the design, battery life and features. The only decision whether to make a purchase comes down to the price for myself, I've pulled the trigger and give it try. So far so good, it's not perfect but that's what I after. The downside is Mi Pay has a lot more supported banks/cards in Ukraine than Australia...Hopefully it does help you as well, cheers

Very well delivered and detailed Wilson!
What do you think about the Amazit GTR 4.
Just tried it in HK on my vocation, not bad, light weight and fast. If wonder which one to get, I will prefer the GTR 4 over S1 for sure, thanks
Hi, thanks for a nice review. Just a general comment if you allow me, would be great if you decrease the music volume in your recording videos as it was sometimes challenging to hear what you are actually saying.
Thanks.
I'm sorry about that, unfortunately UA-cam doesn't have the option to lower the music volume once uploaded. I need to reupload the video in order to reduce the volume, may be you can try to turn on CC, although it's 100%, it will give you some ideas at least. I will keep that in mind for future videos, thanks
Thanks for the video! May I ask about Alexa on iOS, didn’t see you mentioning it.
It doesn't support app install on the watch when paired with iPhone, Alexa is actually an app apart from the apps in the watch app store, so Alexa will not be available unless you paired the watch with Android.
Hi, thanks for the video,
Can we answer calls via BT on the watch when connected to the iPhone?
Yep, sure you can. It’s not that loud but good enough when answering calls on train or shopping centre
Hi. Can you see the known contacts in case of incoming calls or just the number? In your call history, I didn't see any contacts.
I couldn't remember this sorry as I already sold the watch
Hello! I’m using the S1 but I see that I don’t have good synchronisation. For the weather app to update every time I have to open the app. I didn’t have this problem with my Xiaomi phone. I have no idea what I need to do to make it work as I’m new to apple, I’m using iPhone 13
To be honest with you, I’m having the same issue and it didn’t happen to miband which uses other app for syncing data. Apart from the whether issue I’ve also noticed it uses 2 Bluetooth connections for messages and calls while Android only uses 1! The sync time for watch faces, firmware updates, etc took twice as long! I’m not sure whether Xiaomi/70mai is going to fix their issues in the future, i will consider amazfit in the future otherwise.
Can you answer WhatsApp or Telegram calls when it's connected with an iPhone?
Do you have any issue with WhatsApp notifications not showing up by using with iPhone?
Hm...I already sold mine unfortunately, sorry
@@wilsoncheng1722 bought it. no problem at all with mine 👍🏽
Will the xiaomi pay work in Singapore?
only if you can Curve cards, otherwise sorry. I don't think it supports any banks in Singapore according to their page

@@wilsoncheng1722 that's unfortunate. Thanks for the help!
How can use Xiaomi pay in iphon not coming that option. Please explain?
only very limited banks support Xiaomi Pay, it's not available in AUS for example
Hi. Can u pick up and speak with iPhone ? Or is that only for android devices ?
yes, you can pick up calls from iPhone with the watch, it's loud enough indoor and outdoor as long as your surrounding is not noisy.
Hi. Can you use this as remote camera shutter on iphone?
Your answer is here

Thanks a lot for coming back so fast. I just bought the watch today and I’m connecting it to iPhone 13. I have 3 questions that would much appreciate your help with.
1- I did not find Amazon Alexa in Mi Fitness app. I have both watch and app up to date so is this something not compatible with iPhone? If yes that would be a bit strange as Xiaomi Sweden confirmed it is working!
2- Is there an easy way to reach the wallet/cards rather than going to the menu and searching for it since it’s not even in alphabetical order?
3- I noticed there’s always 2 widgets one black and one in colors (like sleep, steps..etc), what is the difference between both?
Thanks for coming back to my questions and thanks again for your support.
Q1: Alexa is considered as an watch app which only available when you pair it with Android Phones (install it automatically via MiFit Android App), same apply to the Watch app store (only has 4 apps) is also not available on iPhone.
Q2: If you're referring to credit cards, I'm not too sure as we don't have a supported card in AUS
Q3: They're just shortcuts to different detailed information e.g. heart rate, steps, sleeps. In short, widgets show summary, tap on them give you detailed info. Hope it helps, Like + Subscribe will be much appreciated, thanks
Hi, thanks again for coming back!
Q1: A bit strange as it is mentioned in Mi Fitness app it is available for iPhone?!
Q2: Yes I meant credit cards, thank you.
Q3: I understand the widgets part. What was not clear for me is why each widget , like sleep, being repeated twice in different colors, but I believe it’s just to change the look.
Finally for sure like and subscribe were done.. well deserved for your effort and support 👍
@ahmed kalei Q1: If you check out the video at 9:14 or the link below, you will notice "Amazon Alexa" is available on the Android table on the left as well as "Apps" just right below Xiaomi Pay. I'm using iPhone 13 as well but I couldn't see them on the Mi Fitness app, with that being said, my region/country is set to AUS, so might be slightly different than yours. Alexa works well and quick on Android, but can only show texts, it can't talk.

Q3: that's possibly the default settings, I might have changed them since, I couldn't remember now. Thanks a lot for your support by the way!
Thanks Wilson for the nice chat. Wishing you all the best in your channel and coming reviews 😊
@@AhmedKalei How are you satisfied now, using Xiaomi watch with iPhone?
Hi Guys,
I am recently purchased Xioami S1 active Watch and Mi App version MI Fitness 3.16.0i
facing issue for import Songs from Mobile to Watch. while importing iam getting message "couldnt import 0 songs"
Can any one please guide how to import song or how to install new music player ?
Unfortunately I sold it, can't test it, hopefully other can help, thanks
Can you answer call via Bluetooth on the watch? Thanks
Yes you definitely can, the only issue is you can only make calls from the watch to someone already called you because it can’t access your contact list and doesn’t have a dial pad
When use Iphone can we answer call via BT on the watch
Can you pay with it?
does support Mi Pay (Similar to Apple, Google or Samsung pay), but no supported card in AUS, in UK only curve card is supported, if you're in East Euro, you are lucky, there are a lot of support cards you can use
