Mi Watch Lite 2 Weeks Later: How Accurate Is It?? (GPS, Heart Rate, Sleep Tracking)

At just RM229 the Mi Watch Lite is a pretty affordable smartwatch. Let's find out how accurate the Mi Watch Lite is as an activity/fitness tracker.
BUY Mi Watch Lite from Dasher (Malaysia) on Shopee: bit.ly/3a5xjgY and Lazada: bit.ly/2Lw2Z4L

[@thomazpfborges]

I bought the Redmi Watch 2 Lite to practice windsurfing. However in training modes "sailing", "kite surf", "paddle board", "car race" and "kayaking" the GPS does not come into operation. The only outdoor sports that GPS works with are hiking, outdoor swimming, outdoor running, outdoor cycling, trekking, and trail running. It would also be better if the watch could display the instantaneous speed for these wind & water sports. It is a valuable information at the moment of training. And a device that has a standalone internal GPS should at least show the geographic coordinates on some screen. It may be useful in an emergency situation, when your windsurf equipment is broken and all you have is a waterproof vhf radio and the watch. When data from Xiaomi wear is transfed to Strava, "outdoor swimming" loses GPS data and is turned into "indoor swimming". A Bug to be fixed. Another outdoor Training modes that is NOT possible to activate GPS are: "water skiing", "water polo", "other watersports", "rowing", "powerboating" , "rafting", "ice skating", "horse sports", "paragliding", "parkour", "rock climbing" and "ATV". I have posted this feedback in Xiaomi forum, and they expect that the issue will be resolved in upcoming firmware updates. My firmware version is 1.1.98

Yes i get. I buy Amazfit GTS 2 mini. It will be stock from Germany at 26Jan from Aliexpress 😀

[@nickotuballa3418]

Use AmazFit application. That should sync it to strava.

[@shutthedoor2052]

same question

[@lancebrianbalictar1914]

I have been using the mi watch lite for 3 days now and very satisfied with it! My choices where mi band 5,bip, and mi watch lite. So far very good with the gps too! Worth the buy and looking for the release of morw straps and a screen protector

[@LimReviews]

Congrats on your smartwatch buddy!

[@halidahalbery8956]

Just purchased at from LazMall 😬 birthday gift for my husband .. im sure my husband loved it eheheh since us use redmi 🤭

[@tecnotravelers]

does the watch have autopause?

[@lancebrianbalictar1914]

Auto pause for what?

[@marijakoscak9972]

But Big downside is that in normal tracking does not have option to show Km only steps. You cab only see it in app. And even mi band have that option. :(

[@engr.zack3183]

Can the gps data from the watch be integrated to strava cycling record?

[@talih9168]

Thanks so much for this video! Really helped me choose.

[@udaymahesh9500]

good video, when will it launch is india? 1 question- can u plz suggest a smartwatch with onboard internal storage (mp3) under Rs. 10,000.

[@GoBenoit]

How can we synchronize it with Strava ?

[@m4rios916]

Which watch would you suggest for accurate sleep tracking? Is the samsung active accurate? Or the amazfit gts?

[@kimwarner6050]

My amazfit gts2 mini will be here next week. They're claiming 2 weeks battery life with AMOLED. If the battery life sucks I get the mi lite watch.

[@LimReviews]

Not sure you can do 2 weeks without AOD. Mine lasted about 6 -7 days with AOD.

[@spideyfanboy]

Hi can you review the Amazfit Bip U pro GPS accuracy?

[@aethankervy3237]

Can you connect it to Strava?

[@techytech07]

In fact Amazfit is Owned by Xiaomi so I believe the components will be very similar

Hi, how did you sync your Mi watch lite with your strava account ? Did you just manually add your gpx file or is there a way to automatically sync it ? Thanks !

[@aufajohan9528]

Hey there! Thank for the review! Im wondering if I leave my phone at home and I go out for a run with the gps on, will my watch still track and be connected? Since it’s not directly connected to my Bluetooth anymore?

[@ashekinabir5076]

Same question

[@tsukmakun7572]

The data will sync later so it doesn’t matter to leave your phone at home, it will still track and record your running exercise data.

[@cmyjones]

I'm not sure if they updated this sleep monitor but I was finding it to record my sleep after I got up to pee and also it will add an hour to the total sleep for the day if you nap. So i think it's been solved if you were having issues

[@kmjoe]

Hi there, I tried having the activity tracking on for my outdoor cycling, the battery depleted after 11hrs. Would be great if you could battery life test. In addition, It didn't capture my nap of about 2hrs while it's meant to be able to, would be good if your could test that as well.

[@nexusace_]

It doesn't track naps

[@danielgarcia.mp4]

For iPhone, do you prefer Zepp/Amazfit App or Huawei app. I'm thinking to buy Honor Watch ES (I have already bought the Bip U Pro but I really like the amoled screen of the Honor)

mi watch Lite--- should all the watch screen when paired show the same data. seems while exercising; I see time calories on watch only but can't get it on my phone; at the same time. i MUST turn off the watch to see all the data on the phone app. OK but why share data so not to interrupt the exercise program . Calories and time is way off; the phone app vs. the watch while the watch is on. Normal. Can this be corrected. so each mirror the other ?

[@gpdude]

thinking to buy that one

Use the watch during your running and then report the HR.

[@jimjimmis5071]

no reviews about sea swimming, anywhere, in any watch :-(

[@erkinaksoy3976]

I hope mine isn't broken but it's heart rate monitor is terrible during strength workouts, it starts off okay but when you really start to break a sweat somehow the heart rate drops to sixties which is practically a joke.

[@MountainParameters]

I guess the downside of reviewers who live at sea level is no attention to the altitude function. In another review he mentions it did not appear to work properly, but it also seems he did not change altitude much. I seem to be having trouble finding any information of user experiences with the altitude logging in the app.

[@hermanstokbrood]

Why don't you just buy one and return it when it doesn't work properly?

[@markojamesdimen7238]
