Smartwatch for Xiaomi Phones: 1.69-Inch Fitness Tracker

Everything important, one glance away

• Glance at messages without the phone

  WhatsApp, Facebook, WeChat and SMS alerts land on the watch as they arrive. Read the first line, decide whether it needs an answer now, and keep moving. Incoming calls ring through to the wrist too, so the call you were waiting for does not vanish in a pocket.

• A big screen you can actually read

  The 1.69-inch full-touch color screen gives message text room to breathe. Swipe through longer messages, and read time, date and heart rate without bringing your wrist up to your face. It comes in blue and pink.

• Splash-ready for daily life

  The IP67 rating covers dust and water splashes, so rain, handwashing and sweaty workouts are no problem. It is a splash rating, not a swim rating, so keep it out of the pool and the shower.

Set up in minutes, not an afternoon

4. 4
   Choose your alerts

   Allow notification and call access in your phone settings, then pick which apps send messages to your wrist.

The buzz never really stops

The buzz that never stops

Your phone lights up in your pocket every few minutes. You pull it out, scroll, put it back, and by lunchtime you have checked it dozens of times. Half the time nothing was urgent. The one time it mattered, you missed it anyway.

A glance instead of a dig

The P8 Plus moves the first look to your wrist. Messages and calls appear on the 1.69-inch full-touch color screen, so you can see who is calling and decide whether it can wait. A tap rejects the call and your phone stays in your bag.

Less checking, more living

Between meetings and the commute, one glance tells you what needs an answer. The rest of the day your phone stays out of sight, and your heart rate sits on the same screen when you start moving. If you are stocking up on smartwatch chargers too, keep one by the bed so the watch starts every morning full.
