Smartwatch Features

Normally, we'd start with the watch's appearance, but the Mi Band 5's smart functions are what set it apart.

The Mi Watch Lite has a limited number of watch faces to pick from. However, future versions may include more.You can receive notifications for calls, texts, and apps, as you would expect from a smartwatch. It functions as a camera shutter, allowing you to walk away from your phone and capture the photo with your watch instead of the camera timer. It can also be used to regulate your music.

Xiaomi claims that the battery will last up to 9 days on a single charge, which takes about 2 hours.

Fitness Tracking

Steps, calories, heart rate (which is 24-hour), and sleep tracking are all available on this watch. More advanced functions such as VO2 Max (blood oxygen levels) and Sp02 are absent.

There are 11 sport options to choose from, but you can't design your own training programme. The watch, however, is water-resistant to 50 meters, allowing you to use the swimming mode. Even better, it has GPS (and GLONASS) onboard, as well as a compass, accelerometer, barometer, gyroscope, and PPG sensor, making it the ideal companion for outdoor running, walking, and trekking.More and more, we're seeing Fitness aspects integrated as well. Breathing sessions of 1 to 5 minutes are available on the Mi Watch Lite, and they may be programmed to a rhythm of your choice.

Xiaomi Mi Watch Lite Design

The Xiaomi Mi Watch Lite resembles the Fitbit Versa 2 or 3 as well as the Apple Watch 6. On a square display with rounded corners. The crown features a gloss finish with a curved edge. Around the 1.4-inch touchscreen panel, the bezels are quite large. Speaking of which, instead of AMOLED, you'll find an LCD. Because Xiaomi is a budget brand, we think this was done to keep the device's price low. Furthermore, it is better for the battery.

Despite the fact that it is not an AMOLED display, the display is bold and bright. The brightness can be changed. The touchscreen is snappy and easy to use.

As you might think, there is no scrolling feature; instead, you must flick between screens or menu items.

Physically, the lone physical button is located on the right side of the case. Both the casing and the band are made of plastic. Because the strap is removable, you can switch up your look if you prefer a different color. Because the strap's system is proprietary, you're forced to use Xiaomi bands. It's worth mentioning how comfortable this watch is!
