Mi Watch Revolve,1.39 AMOLED Screen,5ATM Water Resistant,VO2 Max,First Beat Motion Algorithm,Stress & Sleep Management, Chrome Silver

The watch looks very nice, but that’s its best feature. Tracking so far looks to be pretty good. GPS is so-so, not very precise, but usable.The main problems is that despite the Bluetooth 5 this watch loses the connection with a phone very easily. I can be just 4 meters from the phone, which is in another room, but just around the corner from the door, and the watch loses the connection all the time. You literally have to have your phone within several meters from you and be in the same room if you want to get your phone notifications on your watch.For comparison, the cheap budget Honor Band 5 that I also have doesn’t lose Bluetooth connection even when 15m or 2 rooms away from the phone.The vibration motor is weaker when compared to the much smaller Honor band, even when set on an Enhanced setting. I can’t rely on the alarm of this watch to wake me up with its weak vibration. The top of the watch vibrates more than the bottom that’s in contact with the arm. It looks like the internal position of the vibration motor wasn’t well thought out.The watch also doesn’t respond properly to “raise to wake” (even when sensitivity is set to high). Often it doesn’t turn on when I raise my hand. I have to raise it very high for display to turn on. But, on the other hand, it goes on constantly when I’m washing my hands, as my hands move, which it shouldn’t. After a few days it becomes frustrating, so you have to turn on the always on display (which is very good), but the battery will go down to 4 days, max 5 if you use it lightly.The notification system is not very good – some message notifications like from Whatsapp will come as “3 messages from 2 chats”, “5 messages from 3 chats”, without the possibility to see the individual messages. That’s pretty dumb for a smart watch… The cheap Honor band shows individual notifications just fine, and it’s always a bit faster to show a notification. But you do have a much bigger display than on a band…Besides the heart and sleep tracking, which look pretty accurate, the watch can track your energy and stress levels, supposedly based on the HRV algorithms. I’m not sure they really correspond to the experience how I feel, but you can track it and try to improve your wellbeing.The step counting isn’t very accurate. I did a few tests where I myself counted the steps, and the watch counted on average 6-7% more steps than I did, whereas the Honor band counted around 1% more.Overall, if you want to use this watch ONLY for workout and wellbeing tracking (and keep in mind that the watch can track ONLY 10 most basic workouts!) then it’s an OK option. It has some advanced algorithms for tracking the energy and stress, besides the sleep and HR (no SpO2 blood oxygen tracking though). But, to be honest, you can do the same workout tracking with 4-5 times cheaper smart bands like Honor or Mi bands… It’s a more advanced band with a big screen that looks very nice, and can also show more details on the watch itself, without needing to look into the app.But, if you want to use this watch as a smart watch (and you would probably want because of its large screen and good looks) then I don’t think it’s worth its price. It’s almost less functional and less smart for notifications than 4-5 times cheaper smart bands, and it doesn’t have a mic and a speaker for bluetooth calling like some other smart watches in this price category. The weak Bluetooth connection and vibration motor make it less practical as well to use it as a smart watch.I can’t recommend it.

Pros:1. Brighter display2. Design Looks premiumCons:1. No blood pressure monitor.2. No Spo23. Only 4-5 face watch are good out of 1104. Don’t detect steps properly. Most of the times it doesn’t detect the steps5. Watch strap quality is ok not good6. 23% battery drained in last 24 hours. So 14 days battery backup is lie

After getting it in the first lot at 9998, it has been more of a disappointment. However lets chk the good things first:1. Good looks.2. Decent number of features.3. Battery life as mentioned is ok but still have to see through 2 weeks.4. Multiple tracking endpoints…. Now i am forcing myself to think of some more…However, the cons:1. Steps are not accurate. I was sitting for an hour and it counted around 50 steps.2. Notifications is complete garbage. It does not show any details of the txt or whatsapp. This is a really big disappointment.3. 90% Watch faces sucks.4. Unable to track daytime sleep properly.5. Call facility via bluetooth not available.6. Could not find the camera sync option.7. Strap felt itchy on my skin.8. Feels bulky to wear. Cant wear for the entire day.9. Sometimes display goes off even if i have kept the display on option enabled.10. It is unable to detect raised hand always and does not show the time upon doing that.11. DND does not work. Even if it is on, i keep getting notifications….. Well the list keeps growing…In short, MI can overcome a lot of these cons by improving the software. As of now, not recommended.
