Xiaomi - Watch 2 Pro (Bluetooth version)

I bought a bumper protector, basically a shell for the watch for like 2 buck on AliExpress. I charge the watch every 2 days and I get about 20% battery left before I put it on the charger. I have raise to wake on. If I disabled that and run the watch in the Battery saver mode I can get to the 60 hour mark easy. In terms of battery performance I think not much has changed. I find once I update and reboot a few times over a period of a week or two the battery performance returns to normal. I knew ahead of time that getting a Xiaomi watch was going to suck in the terms of software updates. Not a big deal for me since I use it mostly for fitness tracking. I go swimming with mine 5 times a week. The only real issue I have is that they did not fix the notifications issue for like a year now. Basically this was the best watch for the cheapest price by far at the time it was released.

It's a great watch but now it's almost the end of xiaomi support for this watch

What i understand xiaomi support for 2 years and the watch was released almost 2 years ago

(I use Xiaomi watch 2 pro BT version) For me my sleep tracking has been working mostly fine. I have only used it like 5 days, and one day it said I woke up 2 hours before I did, but else it's pretty accurate. And the Xiaomi watch 2 just got the Wear OS 5 update (as the last one bc its no longer update supported in a couple days, and idk why, but the Xiaomi watch 2 pro LTE version dont get it, only the Bluetooth version)

My gps won't even work with the standard 150 modes app, but it works with fx maps or other apps. Bought it used for 50 bucks though, so can't really complain much. 😅

Xiaomi Watch 2 is a great watch. This watch has NFC, good enough battery life. There are several apps for hiking on WearOS 4. So, I think this watch would fit.

I have the xiaomi watch 2, it isn't very good at tracking health metrics. Often gives inaccurate numbers. After the latest update to WearOS 5, I do notice one improvement, the battery life is a little better. I almost bought the one plus 3 because of the 5 day battery life but I think I am going to wait for the next major release and see what improvements they come up with.

The watch is perfectly fine if you can get over the battery that doesn't last more than a day.

in my opinion still keep in mind i'm not an expert in the matter its a great watch keeping in mind the price its one of the cheapest ones on the market with this high of quality , my honest yes easy to mod with wear os tools using adb just best supports apks everything just not directly as a dev i highly recommend but those are just my thoughts :3

I recommend xiaomi watch 2,it is about half of your budget ,top tier, easy to set ,all features needed ,my goto for first time Hope u have a great day, random person who reads this :3

Hi, I was using Xiaomi Watch 2. Xiaomi says 2 year of software support and It's already been 1 year. The watch is still in WearOS 4.0 You can download Spotify, WhatsApp, Gmail, Keep Notes and Samsung Internet Browser (These apps are most important for me) If you want to use these apps you shouldnt look to these bands/watches Yes you can watch YouTube because it has a Internet browser in it. You can sideload some apps (Not sure which ones can we sideload)

There is so many (for me) bugs, if you want to see the list dm me, I'll send Xiaomi Watch feedback Telegram channel link.

I charge mine every other night.

In my experience the watchface and compilations can also make a huge difference in battery use. That said I don't think I've seen anyone report the advertised 62 hours on this watch. Best I've done is slightly above 50 or so hours, but around a day seems more typical for other users. For me I switched to charging it in the evening before I go to bed and I have around 10% left 48 hours later. Biggest issue for me is that while there have been security updates there are also known bugs that have gone unfixed since the 4.0 release. For me that's a warning flag about the future support of the device.

Great advantage i must say of this xiaomi watch is the very fast charging. When you charge during a shower it's ready for another day and night..

I have no complaints about the xiaomi watch 2, it looks bright and does a very good job for a small price. I will try sleep tracking again. Wear Os 5 is good for a few years i think. Today i noticed the GPS of the Xiaomi is a little less accurate than Oneplus 3, but not a big problem.
