Xiaomi has switched to Google’s Wear OS for the Watch 2 Pro, and it’s a solid smart wearable ready to compete with Samsung’s Galaxy Watch6 Classic. Furthermore, the Xiaomi watch costs €270 for the Bluetooth model and €330 for the LTE-ready one – the Samsung watch exceeds the €400 threshold.
Get the watch in black with a fluoroelastomer strap or silver with a leather strap and Xiaomi’s proprietary wireless charger.
In the foreground the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro has the standard 1.43-inch 466x466px OLED display with a maximum of 600 nits. It is housed in a 46mm casing. Xiaomi has opted for the brand new 4nm Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Plus chipset, which means the Watch 2 Pro should be suitable for some OS updates. It also works smoothly and quickly.
There is a rotating crown flanked by two pushers on the right side of the watch. The crown is very smooth to turn and is easy to get used to. A tap on it brings up the app grid, and swiping up and down moves the grid accordingly. It’s as good as navigating a watch, outside of Samsung’s rotating bezel.
Xiaomi has equipped the Watch 2 Pro with a skin temperature sensor, a body composition sensor that until now was only available on the Galaxy Watch series and a dual-frequency GPS, more similar to the more expensive Garmin watches.
Finally, Watch 2 Pro packs a powerful 495 mAh battery, a full 70 mAh larger than the Galaxy Watch6 Classic’s battery. Xiaomi claims that the Watch 2 Pro could last up to 65 hours on a single charge in Bluetooth-only mode, which is impressive for a Wear OS device. We’ll be sure to check this out in our review, among various other aspects of its performance. Do not go anywhere!
