Xiaomi Watch S3 Review | Best Budget Smartwatch 2024

[@justjuniorjaw]

They're giving this for free when buying any 14 variants, so it's good to see a review of this.

[@xuanchiang0206]

No way

[@edfaridabdul8fa618]

While stock last..not free all the time..take note 😊

[@martinmoylan339]

Free , nothing comes free

[@oKrikket]

I don't understand why they would go for a square UI design when the watch face is round.

[@Alex-hv3ir]

Because it's Xiaomi

[@NaveenPaudel]

​@@Alex-hv3irSir,what about battery backup,And I heard a rumors that it's bezzle falls.Does it?By comparing with Huawei GT4 please tell by their features.Because the price of Xiaomi watch S3 is half the price of GT4? What features are more in GT4 PLEASE TELL HONESTLY

[@torelliandreadogacademy42]

Perfect video!!! I would like to ask if there is a program for SUP (Stand Up Pandling) and if in the settings there is an option to increase the size of the letters and numbers as I have presbyopia and may not see it well without my glasses. Thank you very much!!! Hope you keep up the good work!!

[@Ramon314]

As much as I want to like this, my xiaomi watch s1 pro still feels more perfect for me. It just looks a lot better.

[@Csillabu]

Any chance that you'd review the Garmin Venu 3? Did I miss it? Do I need to send Garmin an email begging for them to send you review copies?

[@andikamichael]

how's the gps? can you run with it without your phone and track an accurate data like pace, HR and such?

[@killowatraibikio2855]

Also curious.

[@chimika5025]

how is it now?

[@przemeklewandowski7476]

Let me tell you few things about this watch that are not mentioned in reviews: - it has mp3 player functionality with support for bluetooth earbuds (you don't need phone to listen music while training) but capacity seems to be limited to 61 files only, which is extremely low despite 2gb internal storage, - same can be said about watchfaces - s3 can hold up to 22 different skins, despite plenty of memory available - the only way to upload custom watchfaces is to use modded mi fitness app, but I'm not sure if it's safe when you have your bank card attached - modded mi fitness also allows you to install additional apps, like calculator for example - nfc payment works even without phone connected to watch Overall it's a good smartwatch considering it's price, but it's not without flaws

[@achilles3140]

Thank you for the mini review. I wanted the watch primarily for Contactless payment and the fact it works even without the phone is a great feature.

[@omaraj8932]

Umm Im sorry but is there anyway to use the watch to pay while not having a mastercard card? Cuz I have a visa card and ordered it already 😢

[@przemeklewandowski7476]

@@omaraj8932 As far as I know it depends on the country - I'm using visa card right now but I'm from Poland, can't confirm for others

[@itisaporsche]

I live in US but recently had to go to Singapore for work. I saw one of these and had to have it. After 3 weeks I love it. I am selling my Apple Ultra on eBay...should get $400-$480 for it. The additional strap/bezel sets are hard to buy so far. Aliexpress has them but cannot ship to US.

[@djwarren5081]

I was in Sunderland the other day to see my mate. I actually thought about the scruffy little tech reviewer as I enjoyed a pint in Fitzgerald's. The folks up there are really friendly.

[@joewipat5452]

[@vlevi70]

Which is the longest track, you can record? 5 hours? 10? 20? For example, when I go to a full day bicycle tour, is it possible to record the whole day, for example from 6am to 6pm?

[@EruksTeejay]

This looks quite promising. I recently reviewed the Haylou Watch R8, and i think its a great contender to this Xiaomi S3, for more than half it's price.

[@dimaiogiovanni61]

Ottima recensione. Alla fine l'ho comprato. Giallo. Grazie.

[@PlantHoardingAdventures]

my biggest concern is do I have to open the app on my phone every 24 hours in order to be able to use the find my phone feature, I'm trying to upgrade from the mi band 7 and it constantly lets me down when trying to find my phone even when I have opened the app recently.

[@sekhouchan9442]

Will you be reviewing the Xiaomi Watch 2 and slight compare it with Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro ?

[@theeuropeancyclepaths8206]

Nice review. Thanks

He does not review this kind of craps! Go to Dominique Vetter in the Netherlands. He is a big Samsung fan boy.

Xiaomi watch 2 pro is wear os & esim. and a great price compared to other with the same features.

[@ssspe]

I've literally watched every review of Xiaomi watches and they're getting on the big stages of smart watches i personally like the watch 2 pro cuz of wear OS by Google and the price is cheap has good performance nearly flagship level

[@Simkets]

I don't understand why there is Watch S3 but not Watch 3 and Watch 3 pro when they have Watch 2 and Watch 2 pro. This watch is actually less powerfull than the last gen because it's an S version. I don't get it

[@jaspercas]

I've used a lot of mi bands, haylou before having an apple watch, now I'm using a samsung wearOS. The only thing that I would want from these kinda cheap "smartwatch" is to have some storage and a spotify port so I don't have to bring my phone when I just want to listen to music.

[@Imenijebitno108]

Is it worth of upgrading from Amazfit GTR 2e?

NFC Payments in the UK is a deal breaker for me as I wanted this over the watch 2, purely for 15 day battery life and NFC payments if they worked

[@wilvanwil]

works fine for me here in the Netherlands with my Mastercard creditcard linked to my Curve card

I've bought it 2 weeks ago to replace my amazfit gtr 3 and I must say it's been great, unbeatable considering the price. At that time I couldn't find any reviews so was a bit sceptical but I paid off 😊

I have a Xiaomi 12 Pro, should I get a Xiaomi smartwatch too or go for something different? Does it do anything special if used with a phone from the same brand?

[@-xYz--nk1gm]

no, there is nothing special. I have a Huawei watch, but the notifications there are very weak. This Xiaomi has much better ones. An equally interesting watch is Redmi Watch 4

[@RedVRCC]

@@-xYz--nk1gm thanks for the input, I have a fossil gen 5 smartwatch rn which surprisingly still works great and looks really good but it's starting to show its age. I know a lot of brands nowadays try to create these "seamless" ecosystems so I wasn't sure if there was special integrations regarding smartwatches of the same brand as your phone.

[@wilvanwil]

I got a Xiaomi 12 Pro as well, works fine together, also paying with the watch works for me now.(you will have to get a Curve credit card though, but fine for me, it does not work with Wear OS, or Google Wallet))

can you customise the watch face with external software, been after THE DIVISION watch face on a smartwatch for a while!

@TechSpurt I'd say it is so hight, 148HRT while you review device.

[@F01L]

How does this compare to the watch s1 active?

[@mirkomarjanovic3234]

I think it's just like 5% better at everything. Not worth upgrading, but worth it if you're deciding between the two if you don't own any. Few extra features, but nothing special.

[@F01L]

@@mirkomarjanovic3234 ohhh I have the S1 active and I bought it for roughly $50, So it’s not worth upgrading I guess.

[@onceafiend]

The last time someone said they were my uncle spurt, the police got involved!!

[@gabeBucur]

I have the S1, received one update and that was it. After a year the battery went from 10 days new to 4 days, same usage. Got a new watch under warranty. The only nice feature about this watch is that it has a sapphire screen, so it doesn't scratch. Other than that... wouldn't recommend xiaomi. Would rather go for amazfit, much better support.

[@camotech1314]

I heard amazefit is really good. I've got their sister brand watch ZeBlaze, it's super cheap and I get days of battery life. 😊

[@leedorney]

Interesting on Amazfit, hardly any do pay tho? 🤔

[@DerkuiDerkui]

Where do you buy the watch? Can't find it. I go to the Xiaomi website, but can't buy anything on there.

[@AceChina]

If you're American or Canadian you have to buy it from a reseller.

[@Rayu25Demon]

for me a rectangular screen is better also a magnetic strap is must. everytime i need to wash my hand it easier to remove the watch. i cant replace haylou RS4 plus yet.

[@rons7555]

Cheers !

[@leedorney]

I've an s1 sport and the battery lasts about 3 days after a year charges fast tho and the payment thing is handy once you get a Curve card.. generally ok but can't Bluetooth a chest HR strap to it like a Garmin can, nice display tho and is an ok watch 👍
