As the owner of a smartwatch from one of the companies, I wondered if a cheaper alternative could be found for it – and then I came to the Mi Watch Lite smartwatch from Shiomi.
The watch is equipped with a 1.4-inch screen, its body is made of plastic polymer, and it has a metallic operation button and a display of five different designs. It supports both Android and iOS devices, and connects easily through the Xiaomi Wear app, which allows you to control the various settings and features of the watch, analyze the data it has collected and receive version updates when they come out.
The smartwatch supports receiving alerts from various phone applications (including WhatsApp, Facebook and email) and allows the user to choose to answer, mute or reject a phone call. The watch supports Hebrew, which is important for those whose contacts and messages they receive are written in Hebrew.
With the help of the app I set (very easily, it should be noted) which alert would be attached to each app – so I could read the WhatsApp messages I received without touching the device. I was also able to control the music I played on the device and answer calls without having to take the device out of the bag.
The watch has a Polymer-Li 230mAh battery and a long battery life of up to nine days in normal use.

However, with intensive use of full days and stock of battery alerts it lasted less than nine days – which makes a lot of sense. The clock is charged to full state within two hours. It is also equipped with a variety of sensors, including measuring heart rate, energy consumption of the body and monitoring sleep and its quality level during the night.
In addition to these data, the watch has built-in smart training programs that help the user improve their fitness and track their progress by monitoring 11 built-in sports modes, including running, treadmill, exercise bike, walking in the field and swimming in the pool, along with a program for proper breathing practice. I did a number of workouts with the help of these programs, and at the end of them I received various data, including the duration of the workout and the number of calories burned. Recommended retail price: NIS 349.
