The home screen consists of three pages: the main time dial, a heart rate page, and a music control page. Swiping down from the top brings up the notifications panel, whereas, swiping up from the bottom brings up all of the quick controls. Quick controls include a flashlight, raise to wake, lock, DND, wake for 5 minutes and the Settings menu.
Long pressing the home screen will allow you to change up the watch face of the watch. You can also browse the large collection of Watch Faces inside of the Xiaomi Wear app. I like a lot of the watch face offerings inside of the Xiaomi Wear app. Press the single side button and it opens the main menu, which only consists of images rather than any text, which most people would be able to recognise easily, however, small titles below the tiles would have been appreciated.
Inside the settings menu, you will find options to set the brightness levels, vibration intensity, DND schedules and select heart rate monitoring intervals and more. The settings are pretty simple and can be configured to your liking within a few minutes.
Even though this is a smartwatch, there is no way to receive or decline calls, nor can you even reply to a notification. To do all of that you will be required to take out your phone from your pocket.
Coming to the Xiaomi Wear app. I personally liked the app as it had a simple interface and was easy to use. There are a lot of customisations that you can do with the app to make the watch feel much more personalised. The UI is clean and easy to navigate with there being a minimal learning curve to it.
All of the data is shown neatly inside the app with the help of coloured graphs and charts. The app does feel a tad bit behind in terms of showing sleep data, and I feel here Realme and Amazfit are much better options. Overall, the app is good, however, there is still scope for improvement.
