Xiaomi Watch 2chat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

Several users report the battery draining quickly, with one lasting only about 12 hours in flight mode and requiring a return, and others seeing roughly two days or less under normal use. One long-time Xiaomi user regrets the switch to Wear OS specifically because it ended the brand's long battery life reputation.

@Ringo-v8u

I had Huawei GT2 and I charged it once a week. With the same functions Xiaomi watch 2 pro should be charged every two days and if you use several functions of it together even it does not last one day. The cheapest smart watches are much better than Xiaomi watch2 pro. It does not worth to buy it.launch

I'm using this watch since yesterday. It's battery life sucks now. I hope it'll improve over charge cycles. I have an issue with green sensor (heart rate) if i use custom watchfaces like Watchmaker or Facer, the sensor works continuously. I think watchfaces forced to get heart rate and it drains battery too much. So i block the permissions to sensor for the watchface apps but also i want to see the heart rate by pressing a button. Is there a watch face like that?launch

I got it on sale for around £100. It's my first smartwatch, and I'm happy about it except for the battery life, which can barely last a whole day. I upgraded from a fitness band whose battery could last for one weeks now I'm trying to get used to it.launch

Multiple users report being unable to connect the watch to iPhones, or having WhatsApp calls fail specifically on Mi-brand or Apple phones despite working fine on Samsung. Some conclude the watch simply isn't well suited to iOS.

@Thunderlips77

Does anyone know what the best smart watch is to buy if you have an iPhone but don't want the Apple watch? Looks like the Xiaomi isn't compatible which is a shame. Please can someone let me know. Thankslaunch

I cannot connect it with Iphone 13 pro. Whatsapp calls does not work on the watch if connected to any Mi brand phone. I tried on Poco and Redmi no success with whatsapp calls on the watch. Tried with Samsung S21 and whatsapp calls are working on the watch. I want to know how to connect it with iphone and also what mobiles are compatible with it besides samsung.\n\nthankslaunch

Users want the ability to pair external heart rate sensors since the built-in sensor doesn't work over thermal clothing, and others question or complain about heart rate accuracy, with one returning the watch over inflated readings.

@Marek-Marek

I have a question does your heart rate sensor first detect a heart rate of 100-120 and then give you the actual value? I had a Xiaomi watch 2 Pro LTE and I returned it for this reason. It didn't matter whether the measurement was smart or every 1 minute.launch

Xiaomi please, add the possibility to pair external heart rate sensors to your xiaomi watch 2 pro i can't use the watch in winter bescause of that, the watch doesn't work over the thermal t-shirt. And if i put it under the termal t-shirt i can't see the watch, pls this is a must for so thousands of users. In addition is a big plus to those who want additional heart rate accuracy.launch

Some users report the Mi Fitness pairing process getting stuck partway through, and others see GMS update errors blocking connection even with a Xiaomi phone.

@lebazardeisaak

Hello, I bought mine second-hand (from Portugal) I am French, and it is impossible to connect to Mi Fitness it blocks at 12% of the process, do you know why? I tried everything, remove and put back the Bluetooth, reset the watch..\nthankslaunch

A user upgrading from an older Mi Watch Color noted the new watch lacks true always-on continuous heart rate monitoring, only sampling periodically, which is a step back from a previous model.

@AzeShorts

I got this watch, coming from a Mi Watch Color (first version, but CN region)\nThis watch is definitely an upgrade, but I've noticed a few annoyances.\n\nHeart rate has no true continuous option. Smart only measures once every 1-15 minutes, setting it to 1m changes that graphs from dots to ranges because it starts measuring more, but even the ol Mi Watch had true continuous HR tracking that was always on (you can check that the green lights stop flashing very often)\n\nAlso, a big one, I'd like to ask you about. You mentioned the Xiaomi Watch 2 has \"accurate\" sleep tracking, that lined up with your Oura ring 3? Do you mind sharing a bit about that. I can't find a video where you talked about it further. Because one letdown I've had is that the sleep tracking seems to show something that would not be very usual for a human sleep pattern, where my old Mi Watch showed Deep sleep early in the night, and REM later, as it should be. This watch shows lots of deep sleep late into the morning, and a lot of REM early, in this random pattern. And that's usually not how sleep works, but I am hoping you have some interesting data!launch

One user reports the watch occasionally lags or freezes when scrolling menus or apps, requiring a pause before it becomes responsive again.

@TeleeFONE

At times when I scroll menu or certain apps, my Xiaomi Watch 2 lags and froze and won't move, I had to stop for 1 second and it will un-froze again, is that normal?launch

A user reports the microphone works fine for WhatsApp voice messages but callers cannot hear them during actual phone calls made from the watch.

A user reports that Mi Fitness counts steps from both the phone and the watch together, duplicating walking data.

@vulesplit1

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.launch

A user switching from a Galaxy Watch 5 noted the watch's hefty size and weight and the lack of size options, which may not suit smaller wrists.

@firuzjalal

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)\n\nStylistically, it's a beautiful watch, nothing extraordinary, although i still like the sleekness of the galaxy series.\n\nBut 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.\nOuh, 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!\n\nHighly recommended watch where u can wear it and not think abt getting a same brand phone. Its a freeeee world!!! Hahahahha!launch
