30-Day Battery Xiaomi Smartwatch | Imilab KW66 Review

Unboxing and hands-on review with Xiaomi's Imilab KW66 budget smartwatch, which promises to deliver one of the best battery life performances of any watch as we hit 2021. However, that's with very basic use - if you actually use the fitness tracking features etc, expect closer to 2 weeks. All the same, a fortnight of smartwatch action per charge is still one of the greatest returns you'll find outside of the Huawei Watch GT 2 series. It's certainly better than the TicWatch, Amazfit and Realme S.
Here's a link to check out the watch in more detail: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001344559179.html
That said, the Xiaomi Imilab KW66 is limited on the features front. I couldn't get the notifications to work, while the fitness/exercise trackers are also basic vs many rivals. This is definitely a smartwatch for casual users, who prioritise battery life and design over functionality.
Check out my reviews of the best smart watches to hit the UK in 2020 and stay tuned for plenty more wearables coverage in 2021. What do you think of Xiaomi's budget smartwatch? Let me know your thoughts below and check out my other affordable watch reviews.

bro, smaller channels make some of the most interesting things. They put so much effort into what they have.

[@charli1802]

Very small channels put infinite effort and don't get anything.

Hey Chris. Love the reviews. When you do the watches could let us know if they link up with Strava. Strava is a industry standard. Cheers

Considering its Christmas I think the deer was quite on point. Unless you filmed this in summer, you sneaky lark.

[@nenadmojsovski]

I just bought the watch and its amazing for its prize tag - i get every notification -the watch faces are plenty and pleasing -heart rate is 100% accurate -pedometer works superb, kilometres are accurate -training modes are fine and enough -dont forget the premium quality of materials and design ❤️ Overall great experience to have this watch if you're not looking for anything over 50$

Hi could you tell me if tells the total calories burn for the day or just when you are working out

[@nenadmojsovski]

@@whiteorchids3811 yes it does, when u swipe left once, there's a window that shows: steps, kilometers and calories burnt measured throughout the day and resetting at midnight but it's all synced on your phone

Looking forward for this budget watch! Thanks man, like your vids!!! Works well with iOS?

[@faiq006]

Yes

[@TOTAL457]

Great video. I had Fitbit Versa 2 and did not work after 1 year and paid €300 for it. I decided that I will buy a 'cheap' smartwatch which is pretty good.

[@Stevo675]

Thanks for the video and advice - Decided to go with the Honor Gs pro instead

[@danijel124]

Thats like comparing apples and potatoes loolz :P

[@nipunaratnayake2375]

I know this is quite an old device, but got great deal on 11:11 sale so bought it. used it with heart beat and sp02 monitoring on for 12 hrs per day and can able to use around 10 days from a single charge. Screen is not so brightness in direct sunlight but if you put a matching watch face it's not a deal breaker. Haven't faced any connectivity issus so far and personaly I like the sanitery reminder feature which i use as a reminder to drink water and standup. (I'm SE) , also I haven't checked it by Putting inside water, but had washed it with direct splash and no problems so far, hope this help some one..

[@mr_merini658]

Tysm it helps me for choosing one👍🙂

[@chanseasim728]

thanks for review ur best videos

[@Ruddy_Games]

pretty awesome value, seeing it for £35 in UK, considering the mi band 5 sells for roughly 25-30 thats kind of a steal.

Is there any model of Xiaomi Smartwatch that compare to Garmin 5 or have the features of climbing or trekking.

[@seawinds12]

i have this watch and everything works great

[@less3117]

I just bought a LEMFO LF28 (they sent the updated LF29) and I like it. It used this Android app on phone. I can get all notifucations to work except Gmail, which seems to work occasionally. I Replaced that with Outlook, chose it in 'app reminder' > ' select more app', in phone app, along with my banks app, and works great. The 'GloryFit' app has around 60 dials, about 15 are usable to me (not all have heartbeat or steps on dialface. Sleep function, pedometer, etc, all seem to work well. Accuracy??? One of the better smartphone apps.

[@Molko]

custom own watch face is so cool :)

[@ashfx1112]

This is literally the haylou smartwatch but with different software. this is probably made by 1 factory and rebranded by many software companies....

[@TechSpurt]

Yeah, seems to happen a lot these days, definitely get a lot of deja-vu covering these cheaper devices

This looks exactly like the Haylou Solar watch. Even the app looks exactly the same. The only difference is that this watch has tons of watch faces compared to 5 for the Haylou.

[@worsenary1449]

How's it hold time away from a Smartphone, I bought a cheap one off amazon (not this one), and it was 15 minute out in 4 days, very poor..

[@siamese605]

This is the exact same watch as several others on Amazon, just rebranded. I got the “Yamay” brand of it for $36 on Black Friday. Decent but you can’t hold on to anything if you want it to track on a treadmill or elliptical. Notifications only work some of the time.

[@estrellaperezhernandez425]

Hi, How to activate the sleep mode? I need help plis

[@rfh9560]

No wonder Xiaomi doesn’t put their name on it, it doesn’t do the most basic right, notifications are the main feature of a smartwatch. What good is two weeks battery if it only tells you the time? Just get a normal watch then. Great video though

[@hitwondatalkditingdem]
