    HIGHLIGHT: Great battery life


    After affordable fitness bands, Xiaomi has now ventured into the smartwatch market in India with the Mi Watch Revolve. The product offers a simple yet trendy look, good battery life and the necessary features.

    The Mi Watch Revolve works with Android phones and iPhones. Keep in mind that this smartwatch mostly serves as a notification device, similar to the band. You will not be able to receive calls or reply to text messages or emails. The watch comes with its companion app called Xiaomi Wear Lite, which is available on both Google Play and App Store.

    The Mi Watch Revolve flaunts a large circular dial of 46mm and tracks sleep, heart rate, stress and other activity levels. There are no high-end features like SpO2 or ECG monitor. The watch offers common sports modes like cycling, swimming, treadmill, freestyle, walking, climbing and more. You can track your exercises while controlling music and alarms. Other apps include compass, weather, torch, etc.

    Xiaomi is offering a range of watch faces and straps. It comes in Chrome Silver and Black with a 1.39inch AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Overall, the display quality is great for the price. The colours are vivid with good brightness levels. The device is 5ATM water resistance and you can wear it while swimming. The body is made of stainless steel making it durable.

    The biggest highlight of the Revolve is the battery life. It is backed by a 420mAh battery that relieves you of the stress of charging your smartwatch every night. You can squeeze up to 20 days on a full charge, claims Xiaomi. But if you opt for GPS and other such features, you can expect to go on for three days. The watch gets fully-charged in under three hours.

    The Mi Watch Revolve shares a lot of features of the Mi Smart Band 5, which comes at one-fourth the price. If you care about just the features then the Mi Smart Band 5 offers more value for money. Having said that, if you are looking for a reliable budget smartwatch with all features of the Mi Band 5 and good battery life, then Mi Watch Revolve is the answer.
