but with this watch I can go running without my phone and then once I get home I can pass the data onto my phone? because I would like a watch to use only once or twice a week to go running without a phone at this type of price

[@_icscata_]

Yes, it has its own independent gps tracking. All the activity data will sync to Health / Strava.

[@rhoeXV]

did it work without phone??

Come on, this Redmi Watch 4 have: Calling through the watch, 20 days battery life; independent GPS built-in, and look at the price comparing to Apple Watch everyday charging, easy fragrances. Sometime you just need to press to the watch and answeing a short sentence.

Hello! I have a question! Could it be a headset: (Redmi Buds 4 Active) and the clock: (Redmi Watch 4) is connected to the phone at the same time?

Yes...the phone can detect automatically which one is the watch and which one is the earpiece

Hello, I would like to ask you in which country you have configured your MI fit application because I have just acquired a xiaomi watch 4 (Chinese version) and I have no other way to connect it to my phone than to set my application to China and the problem is that sometimes the watch switches to Chinese and I have no other way than to reset it to change the language.

[@TechBrothersReviews]

Hello. The watch switches to Chinese because the language on your smartphone is not English right? The smartphone should always be in English and the watch will be in English too.

[@TechBrothersReviews]

Did you connect your watch to your smartphone via an app? You also need to go to the Bluetooth menu on your phone, and there you need to connect to the Redmi Watch 4. Make sure that you have given permissions to receive/make calls and notifications for the Mi Fitness app. If nothing helps, try reset the watch to factory settings and reconnect it to your smartphone.

[@alexiskyleespiridion1266]

Hello, could I ask what does the default theme mean in display settings? Thank you.

There's a description below - "When Always-On display is on, priority will be given to the default watch face".

no not the mi band they are not ad good as the lower model in terms of battery. i used mi band 3,5,7. battery gets worst

[@corpingtons]

Wow

[@sheikh.180]

Are you sure that it doesnt have hyperOS? Because I just saw another video and it booted up the deivice with hyperOS logo on screen

[@TechBrothersReviews]

Wow, you are right. I just checked and there is a logo of Powered By HyperOS from Xiaomi when the watch boots up. I am a little confused, because the system, functions, settings, animations, and icons of the Redmi Watch 4 are completely the same as on the Xiaomi Smart Band 8, and Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro, which do not have HyperOS. In addition, there is no mention of HyperOS in the Redmi Watch 4 on the Mi.com official website. It's really weird.

[@sheikh.180]

@@TechBrothersReviews yeah I was also confused. I guess they did this because the core Mi band user doesnt feel things are different. Like the v1 of harmonyOS as it was almost same to the last EMUI. Anyway I was going to buy redmi watch 4 but was confused because of this as my device got upgraded to HyperOS so wanted to be in the eco system. Thanks for the confirmation. And overall a great review. Thanks 🙂👍🏻

[@SkillzV2.0]

@@TechBrothersReviewsthere is actually a mention of hyperOS system being used on it, both in china and global version. I think its on the fine prints perhaps but i do recall seeing it. As for the icons being the same, honestly they kept the UI… having hyperOS on a smartwatch may not make that big a difference…🫤

[@tabbofii]

Can you lock the screen from touch? I know you cant do that on Xiaomi Bands since they don't have a button. But most smartwatches with physical buttons let you lock the screen, preventing unlocking it with touching, and then you can unlock the touch screen with a button on the watch. Can you do that here?

[@Techparator]

When you turn the watch away from your face, it turns off automatically. Or you can turn off the clock by touching the screen with your palm.

I have one of these watch, as I already had others cheaper and one more expensive in the genre, I even have preference in analogs like my Speedmaster. He came in the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5g offer package, and has the worst bracelet among them all, nothing practical, which makes me set aside in the choices

[@kavithawazo663]

Should I buy the global version?

[@TechBrothersReviews]

If you need a voice assistant, you're probably better off buying the global version. Otherwise, the functions of the Chinese and global versions are almost the same.
