The Apple Watch has been the undisputed king of smartwatches for quite some time. It's not without criticism, though - many users are displeased with short battery life and a lack of cross-platform functionality. The stage is set for a smartwatch that is reasonably priced, with great health tracking and connectivity. Enter the Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro.
Straight out of the box, the Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro just oozes style. The stainless steel case uses a combination of brushing and polishing to distinguish between sides, and the result is a sumptuous blend of bright and muted hues..
The 1.47-inch AMOLED display is covered with sapphire crystal, and looks superb. Colours are vivid and defined, and motion is accurately portrayed. There's 600 nits of peak brightness on offer, which is pretty good, although we did struggle to make out some aspects in bright light.
