Smartwatches represent a new generation of technology: With these small, digital all-rounders, you can read your e-mails and text messages, log your health data or make phone calls. But that’ just the beginning: these watches can detect when their owner falls and call for help in an emergency. At the same time, they also look chic.
Available in a slim, minimalist round design or as an angular variant, smartwatches are a handy companion during sports, at work or during leisure time. These electronic wristwatches monitor sleep, serve as a navigation system and are capable of playing music. They are usually linked to a smartphone and must be compatible with its operating system. The performance spectrum is far greater than that of an analog watch from classic watch manufacturers.

Once again, Xiaomi is breaking the established rules and spoiling the competition’s business, as no one offers such devices for that kind of money. The Mi Watch Lite is the cheapest branded smartwatch with integrated GPS on the market. It comes at a similar price as the less well-equipped Mi Band 6.
The trade-offs? Positive. The display is only an LCD, but the colors are bright and aggressive, and only in direct comparison with AMOLED you will see that they can be a bit more vivid. There are also compromises in the user interface: the menus move in steps and not smoothly like on a smartphone. The casing is made of plastic, yet it looks good. The main focus here is the very interesting price-performance ratio, although the watch is primarily intended for rather undemanding users and beginners.
