![]() The battery life is one of the best aspects of the smartwatch and is also reasonably accurate in terms of counting steps. The straps are uncomfortable, but can be changed. We liked the display of the device although some may find it a little chunky. The pros of Mi Watch Revolve outweigh its cons. So we also consider that to be a big positive. Even with a lot of notifications and always-on display enabled, the difference between the duration that the battery lasted was not considerable. If you have only a few notifications synced to the watch and disable the always-on display you can easily get two weeks of battery from the device. We would have to be a little vague here and say that the duration of the battery lasts according to how many tasks you make the smartwatch do. Now, let’s talk about the battery of the smartwatch. There wasn’t a noticeable lag during our time with the smartwatch. We were notified timely of all the activity on our smartphone that we had opted on the app to be shown on the watch. Although such aspects of a smartwatch can never be taken too seriously, this was surprisingly correct most of the times. There were times when it correctly guessed that we were ‘Exhausted’ or had ‘Moderate’ levels of energy. The smartwatch can also record ‘Energy Levels’ and for this, it takes into account a number of other aspects like how much the user has slept, exercised, and how much their stress level has been. ![]() Sleep tracking is available on the device and it gets segregated in various phases like Deep Sleep, Light Sleep and Awake. According to the company, the stress level is calculated on the Mi Revolve smartwatch by recording the heart rate variability and comparing it to the activity intensity data. The device also recorded our BPM and stress level at all times. However, we couldn’t do the same for distance, as during the time we were using the smartwatch, we were still avoiding the outdoors because of the ongoing pandemic. We actually counted our steps every day and then compared our count to the one on the smartwatch, and we never saw too much of a difference between the two numbers, so that’s definitely a plus. Although no smartwatch or fitness tracker can be completely accurate in terms of counting the steps or movement, Xiaomi’s offering does a fairly good job of it. This proves to be useful in situations where you think you have lost your smartphone.Ĭoming to the performance of Mi Watch Revolve, it worked accurately in terms of counting our steps and the number of times we stood up. Mi Watch Revolve also comes with the Find Phone feature and using this, you can make your smartphone ring loudly. This is quite a thing to consider if you are thinking of buying the smartwatch. Another downside of the watch is that while it notifies the user about new messages and incoming calls on their smartphone, it doesn’t have the ability of letting them reply to these. Since we use an Android smartphone, we had to download the Xiaomi Wear App to pair our watch to our handset. Mi Watch Revolve is compatible with Android 4.4 or iOS 10 and above. It also has an in-built compass which is useful for outdoor activities. For connectivity, the device comes with Bluetooth 5 LE. It packs a 420mAh battery and is water resistant up to 5ATM. The smartwatch weighs 60g when the straps are attached to it and 40g when they are not. We think that this is a very useful feature, especially in case the battery of your smartphone runs out. The Mi Watch Revolve comes with GPS and GLONASS, which basically means that you can track your footsteps even when the device is not paired to your smartphone. Mi Watch Revolve specifications and performance We particularly found it hard to sleep with the watch on because of its uncomfortable straps and because it was slightly big in size. This was biggest con in terms of the design, but then on the upside, you can change the straps of the smartwatch in case you encounter a problem. According to the company, the straps of the watch are 22mm wide and are made of a rubber-like material that was rather uncomfortable. The smartwatch is available in Midnight Black and Chrome Silver colour options and we got the former one for review. Flip the watch over and you will see the heart rate sensor of the Mi Watch Revolve on the back of its dial.
