Third-party reviews

What we like about Mibro Watch X1

  • High-quality 1.3-inch AMOLED display with vivid colors and good sunlight visibility.
  • Excellent battery life, lasting up to 14 days with normal daily use.
  • Attractive, lightweight design that resembles a rugged sports watch.
  • Great value for the price, often cited as one of the best budget smartwatches.
  • Solid water resistance (5ATM), making it suitable for swimming and showers.
  • Wide range of 38 sports modes to choose from for activity tracking.

What we don't like about Mibro Watch X1

  • Software and app experience (Mibro Fit) is sometimes seen as inferior compared to competitors like Mi Band.
  • Basic music controls can be difficult to use smoothly.
  • Lacks advanced communication features such as a speaker and microphone for answering calls directly.
  • Accuracy of health sensors (SPO2, heart rate) can be inconsistent for serious medical or high-performance tracking.
  • Limited customisation options within the dedicated app.
  • Weather and GPS synchronization issues reported by some users.

Verdict

The Mibro Watch X1 is a budget-friendly smartwatch featuring a 1.3-inch AMOLED HD touchscreen with a 360x360 resolution, housed in a lightweight 52g zinc alloy and plastic body. Key characteristics include 5ATM water resistance, a 350mAh battery offering up to 14 days of daily use, and comprehensive health monitoring for heart rate, SpO2, and sleep across 38 sports modes. Its main pros are the vibrant display quality, impressive battery longevity, and affordable price point. However, notable cons include occasional screen responsiveness lag, the lack of built-in GPS (relying on a connected smartphone), and the absence of a microphone or speaker for direct voice calls.
