Xiaomi Mi Watch Performance and Functionality

Performance and Functionality

Operating on a proprietary OS, the Xiaomi Mi Watch is equipped with a range of sensors that enhance its functionality. These include an accelerometer, gyro, heart rate monitor, barometer, compass, and a SpO2 sensor, offering comprehensive fitness and health tracking capabilities. The heart rate and SpO2 sensors, in particular, make it easy for users to monitor their cardiovascular health and blood oxygen levels, which is increasingly relevant for fitness enthusiasts.

Although it lacks a camera, the Mi Watch has a loudspeaker for audio notifications and calls, although there is no 3.5mm headphone jack. Connectivity is facilitated via Bluetooth 5.0, supporting A2DP and LE (Low Energy) for efficient pairing with other devices. While it does not include a WLAN capability, it compensates with built-in GPS and GLONASS, ensuring accurate tracking of outdoor activities like running and cycling. The inclusion of NFC extends its utility to contactless payments and interactions with compatible devices.
