首次打开智能手表包装时，您会在包装盒中找到以下物品：

设置和日常使用(Setup & Daily Use)
在开始使用Redmi Watch 2 (Redmi Watch 2) Lite之前，您唯一需要做的就是为其充电。手表充满电后，您可以将其打开并开始将其用作普通手表。
您可以使用触摸屏控制Redmi Watch 2 Lite中的所有内容。首先(First)，向下滑动以查看即将到来的通知。然后，向上滑动以调出快速设置菜单，您可以使用该菜单打开免打扰(DND)模式、打开手电筒、打开抬起唤醒(Raise to wake)或唤醒 5 分钟(Wake for 5 mins)以保持显示屏开启、设置闹钟并访问其余的设置。
您还可以向左或向右滑动以查看其他小部件，例如您的活动心率、当前天气和健身目标。您可以稍后使用智能手机应用程序更改这些设置。
要访问Redmi Watch 2 Lite的全部功能，您需要下载并安装适用于Android智能手机的Mi Fitness / Xiaomi Wear应用程序或适用于 iPhone的Wear Lite应用程序。(Wear Lite)
使用软件(Using the Software)
从Play Store或App Store下载应用程序后，您需要创建一个 Mi 帐户并通过该应用程序将手表与智能手机同步。该过程很简单，您可以使用手机号码或电子邮件来创建帐户。使用该应用程序，您可以下载最新的固件来更新您的手表。
该应用程序的界面是用户友好的，甚至有点过于简单。在应用程序内，转到设备(Device)部分（屏幕底部）并将您的智能手表与智能手机同步。
之后，您可以首先通过更改表盘为您的Watch 2 Lite选择新外观。(Lite)
您应该注意的下一个重要部分是通知和呼叫(Notifications and calls)。您可以在此处启用或禁用智能手表上的通知和来电提醒。您可以选择可以将通知从手机发送到Watch 2 Lite的应用程序，或者一次启用所有这些应用程序。
在手表上，向下滑动以查看您的通知和它们来自的应用程序。很遗憾，您无法回复或删除手表中的通知。尽管如此，这仍允许您在锻炼时查看通知，并查看是否有任何紧急情况需要您立即关注。
您还可以通过应用程序调整健康监测(Health monitoring)设置，包括心率、睡眠、血氧、压力跟踪等。如果您不喜欢使用单独的应用程序来跟踪您的经期，您现在可以使用Mi Fitness应用程序来为您完成。此外，还有一个启用空闲警报的选项——如果手表感应到您已经超过一个小时没有移动并敦促您移动，它会振动。
您可以在应用程序中做的另一件很酷的事情是将您的Mi Fitness应用程序与Strava链接。连接两个应用程序后，您可以在两者之间共享锻炼和统计数据。要在您的Redmi Watch 2 Lite中启用Strava ，请打开应用程序并按照路径配置文件(Profile)>连接的应用程序(Connected apps)> Strava。
您可以在应用程序中执行的其他操作包括自定义手表触摸屏上的小部件、将应用程序的菜单布局从网格更改为列表，以及启用手表上的“抬起(Raise)唤醒”功能以在每次抬起手腕时唤醒屏幕。
智能手表功能(Smartwatch Features)
除了通知和来电提醒之外，Redmi Watch 2 Lite支持的最有用的智能手机功能可能是天气更新、查找手机和音乐播放控制。后者允许您在不取出手机的情况下更改曲目和控制音乐音量。查找手机的功能对许多人来说似乎不是一个方便的功能，但我个人喜欢通过按一下按钮来定位放错位置的手机的能力。(locate a misplaced phone)
Watch 2 Lite还有摄像头控制、闹钟、秒表、定时器和手电筒。尽管您可能不会经常使用这些功能。总体而言，即使您使用Watch 2 Lite没有获得很多智能手表特定的功能，但您获得的功能可以完成工作。
健身追踪器功能(Fitness Tracker Features)
Watch 2 Lite是一款面向健身的小工具。有超过 100 种锻炼模式可用于运动跟踪。运动模式包括跑步机、泳池游泳、瑜伽和划船等室内活动。Redmi Watch 2 Lite可以通过启用(Lite)GPS跟踪、Glonass、Galileo和BDS卫星系统来改善您的户外活动。
Watch 2 Lite在健康监测方面也很出色。负责心率监测的光学传感器可在工作、锻炼甚至睡觉时测量您的心率。自从手表监测您的血氧水平以来，睡眠跟踪变得更加准确。(Sleep)
表现(Performance)
除了在Watch 2 (Watch 2) Lite上安装更新时出现一些小问题外，软件性能在测试期间似乎很稳定。但是，当您在屏幕上滑动或滚动选项时，手表有时会让您感到沮丧，并且该过程感觉滞后且有点慢。似乎当您收到大量通知时，手表会不堪重负并显着变慢。
如果这是您的第一个智能可穿戴设备，您可能不会注意到这些小不便。将其视为一种妥协——您仍然可以获得一款功能丰富且价格低廉的不错的智能手表。
电池寿命(Battery Life)
Redmi Watch 2 (Redmi Watch 2) Lite配备 262 mAh 容量电池和磁力充电器。Redmi声称这款电池在典型使用模式下可以使用长达10天，在重度使用模式下可以使用长达5天。典型使用模式意味着你不做任何高级睡眠监测，禁用连续心率监测和压力监测，每周只使用大约 30 分钟的GPS跟踪。(GPS)
在启用上述所有功能的第一天测试后，电池仍保留原始电量的 81%。即使您打算大量使用手表，也可能需要 5 到 7 天才能再次充电。如果您只使用Redmi Watch 2 Lite智能手表功能，您的续航时间可能会更长。根据亚马逊(Amazon)上的客户评论，如果您轻松使用高级监控功能，这款手表一次充电即可使用数周。
您应该购买 Redmi Watch 2 Lite 吗？(Should You Buy Redmi Watch 2 Lite?)
小米红米手表 2 (Redmi Watch 2) Lite对于那些只需要基本功能的用户来说，是一款物超所值的智能手表。如果您正在寻找可以用作第二部手机的独立智能手表，您应该寻找其他地方。但是，如果您正在寻找一款可靠的入门级智能手表，Redmi Watch 2 Lite是一个不错的选择。凭借简洁的外观、简单的设置过程以及数量惊人的运动和健康追踪功能，它是市场上其他廉价智能手表(budget smartwatches)的有力替代品。

If you’re not an experienced user of wearable electronics, you probably don’t need some features that an expensive smartwatch offers. To begin with, you can get yourself a budget watch like the Redmi Watch 2 Lite, and see if you actually need a smartwatch or if it’s the social standards that dictate your desire to have one.
In this Xiaomi Redmi Watch 2 Lite review, we’ll cover this gadget’s specs, smartwatch & fitness tracker features it offers, and help you decide whether this smartwatch is the right fit for you.
Xiaomi Redmi Watch 2 Lite: First Impressions & Specs
If you just need a wearable to track your sports activities, you’re probably better off getting yourself a Fitbit or something similar, like the Mi Band 6. However, if you prefer the look and style of a smartwatch, Xiaomi Redmi Watch 2 Lite is the perfect pick for you.
Redmi Watch 2 Lite is an excellent entry into the world of smartwatches and a great representative of Xiaomi Wear. It’s not too sporty or bulky but overly classic-looking — perfect for any outfit or activity. Moreover, it’s water-resistant enough to take it to the swimming pool with you, and you don’t have to worry about taking it off every time for a shower.
Watch 2 Lite focuses on fitness tracking and live notifications, comes with a user-friendly app, and is one of the most affordable smartwatches on the market. But first, let’s look at the full list of specs of the Redmi Watch 2 Lite.

If this is not your first smartwatch, you’ll notice that the Redmi Watch 2 Lite lacks certain Wear OS features, like the ability to answer calls or take photos. However, the Watch 2 Lite makes up for it with plenty of indoor and outdoor activity tracking features and a price tag that you can’t beat.
Design & Unpacking
When it comes to design, the Redmi Watch 2 Lite looks similar to the Amazfit Bip series, only the Redmi Watch’s body is a little more rectangular. The smartwatch’s exterior is rubber, plastic, and curved 2D glass. You can pick your Redmi Watch 2 Lite in black, ivory, and blue and pair it with a strap in black, ivory, blue, pink, olive, or brown. The TPU band is light and feels nice and smooth around the wrist. After a while, you’re bound to forget you’re wearing a watch.
If you actually forget you’re wearing the Watch 2 Lite and pop into the shower, you should be fine since the watch has a 5ATM water-resistant rating and can withstand pressures equivalent to 50 meters.
There’s just one button to turn the display on and off. The touchscreen display controls the rest of the functions. While the display isn’t AMOLED like you’ll find on premium-tier smartwatches, it’s still big and clear. Also, it’s a higher resolution than its predecessor Xiaomi Mi Watch Lite.
What’s in the Box
Here’s what you’ll find in the box, when unpacking your smartwatch for the first time:
- Redmi Watch 2 Lite smartwatch body
- Redmi Watch 2 Lite strap
- Magnetic charging cable
- Xiaomi user manual
The Redmi Watch 2 Lite is a neat little watch with a minimalistic appearance that you can wear 24/7, no matter what activity you’re doing. It’s lightweight and has every health sensor you might need for fitness tracking.
Setup & Daily Use
The only thing you need to do before starting using your Redmi Watch 2 Lite is charging it. Once the watch is fully charged, you can turn it on and start using it as a regular watch.
You can control everything in your Redmi Watch 2 Lite using the touchscreen. First, swipe down to see the upcoming notifications. Then, swipe up to bring up a quick settings menu which you can use to switch on the DND mode, switch on the flashlight, switch on Raise to wake or Wake for 5 mins to keep the display on, set the alarm, and access the rest of the settings.
You can also swipe left or right to see the rest of the widgets, like your active heart rate, current weather, and your fitness goals. You can later change these using the smartphone app.
To access full functionality of the Redmi Watch 2 Lite, you need to download and install the Mi Fitness / Xiaomi Wear app for Android smartphones, or the Wear Lite app for iPhone.
Using the Software
After you download the app from the Play Store or App Store, you’ll need to create a Mi account and sync your watch with your smartphone via the app. The process is easy, and you can use either your mobile number or your email to create the account. Using the app, you can download the latest firmware to update your watch.
The app’s interface is user-friendly, even a little too simplistic. Inside the app, go to the Device section (bottom of the screen) and sync your smartwatch with your smartphone.
After that, you can start by choosing a new appearance for your Watch 2 Lite by changing the watch face.
The next important section you should pay attention to is Notifications and calls. Here you can enable or disable notifications and incoming call alerts on your smartwatch. You can handpick the apps that can send notifications from your phone to the Watch 2 Lite, or enable all of them at once.
On the watch, swipe down to view your notifications and the app they’ve come from. Unfortunately, you can’t reply to or delete notifications from the watch. Still, this allows you to view notifications while you’re working out and see if there’s anything urgent that requires your immediate attention.
You can also tweak the Health monitoring settings via the app, including heart rate, sleep, blood oxygen, stress tracking, and more. If you don’t like using a separate app to track your period, you can now use the Mi Fitness app to do it for you. Plus, there’s an option to enable an idle alert — the watch will vibrate if it senses that you haven’t been moving for over an hour and urge you to move.
One more cool thing you can do in the app is link your Mi Fitness app with Strava. Once the two apps are connected, you can share the workouts and stats between the two. To enable Strava in your Redmi Watch 2 Lite, open the app and follow the path Profile > Connected apps > Strava.
Other things you can do in the app include customizing the widgets on the watch’s touchscreen, changing the app’s menu layout from the grid to list, and enabling the Raise to wake feature on your watch to wake the screen every time you raise your wrist.
Smartwatch Features
Outside of notifications and incoming call alerts, the most useful smartphone features that the Redmi Watch 2 Lite supports are probably the weather updates, find phone, and music playback controls. The latter allows you to change tracks and control the music volume without taking out your phone. The feature to find your phone might not seem like a handy feature to many, but I personally love the ability to locate a misplaced phone with a press of a button.
Watch 2 Lite also has camera control, alarm, stopwatch, timer, and flashlight. Although you likely won’t get to use these features often. Overall, even though you don’t get many smartwatch-specific features with Watch 2 Lite, the features you get do the job.
Fitness Tracker Features
The Watch 2 Lite is a fitness-oriented gadget. There are over 100 workout modes for exercise tracking. The sports modes include indoor activities like treadmill, pool swimming, yoga, and rowing. Redmi Watch 2 Lite can improve your outdoor activities by enabling GPS tracking, Glonass, Galileo, and BDS satellite systems.
The Watch 2 Lite is also great at health monitoring. The optical sensor that’s in charge of the heart rate monitoring measures your heart rate while working, exercising, and even when you’re sleeping. Sleep tracking has become more accurate since the watch monitors your blood oxygen levels.
Performance
The software performance seemed solid during testing, aside from a few hiccups while installing the updates on the Watch 2 Lite. However, the watch can sometimes frustrate you when you’re swiping through screens or scrolling through the options, and the process feels laggy and a little slow. It also seems like when you get a lot of notifications, the watch gets overwhelmed and slows down significantly.
You might not notice these minor inconveniences if this is your first smart wearable. Think of it as a compromise — you’re still getting a decent smartwatch with lots of features and a low price.
Battery Life
The Redmi Watch 2 Lite comes with a 262 mAh capacity battery and a magnetic charger. Redmi claims this battery can last up to 10 days under typical usage mode, and up to 5 days under heavy usage mode. The typical usage mode means that you don’t do any advanced sleep monitoring, disable the continuous heart rate monitoring and stress monitoring, and only use about 30 minutes of GPS tracking per week.
After the first day of testing with all the above-mentioned features enabled, the battery still retained 81% from the original charge. Even if you plan on using the watch heavily, you’ll probably go 5 to 7 days before you have to charge it again. If you only use the Redmi Watch 2 Lite smartwatch features, you might last longer. According to customer reviews on Amazon, the watch can last weeks on a single charge if you go easy on the advanced monitoring functions.
Should You Buy Redmi Watch 2 Lite?
Xiaomi Redmi Watch 2 Lite is a great budget smartwatch for those users who only need the basic functions. If you’re looking for a standalone smartwatch that can function as a second phone, you should look elsewhere. However, if you’re in search of a solid entry-level smartwatch, the Redmi Watch 2 Lite is a great pick. With the neat look, simple setup process, and a surprising amount of sports and health tracking features, it’s a strong alternative to other budget smartwatches on the market.
