Verdict The Redmi Watch 4 is a cheap smartwatch that makes some nice design changes from its predecessor and is overall pretty likeable for something that behaves more like a fitness watch than smartwatch, though doesn’t quite outperform the similarly priced competition.

Verdict Xiaomi has refined the design to improve both the look and functionality of the Smart Band 8, and it’s a move that pays dividends.

Pros Mesmerising finish […]
Off the back of several middling wearables, the Watch S1 Pro could be Xiaomi’s opportunity to turn it all around with a smartwatch that offers plenty of functionality in a sleek design that not only undercuts some of its competitors in price, but can supposedly promise far more usage with a battery life of up […]
