  • Impressive battery life lasting up to 14 days under typical use
  • Ultra-lightweight design (31g) providing high comfort for all-day wear
  • Built-in standalone multi-system GPS for accurate outdoor activity tracking
  • Strong value for money with features usually found in higher-priced models
  • Water resistance up to 5 ATM suitable for swimming

What we don't like about Poco Watch

  • Occasional inaccuracies in heart rate monitoring during high-intensity exercise
  • Sluggish software performance with visible lag in animations and notifications
  • Proprietary strap system that is difficult to remove and replace
  • Limited smart functionality with no support for third-party apps or replying to messages
  • Lack of speaker and microphone prevents taking calls directly on the watch
  • Syncing data with the Mi Fitness app can be slow

Verdict

The Poco Watch is a lightweight budget smartwatch weighing just 31g and featuring a vibrant 1.6-inch AMOLED display with a 320 x 360 resolution and always-on support. Key characteristics include 5ATM water resistance, a built-in multi-system GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou), and comprehensive health monitoring for SpO2, 24-hour heart rate, and sleep stages. Its main pros are the sharp, high-contrast screen, highly portable design, and an impressive typical battery life of up to 14 days. However, notable cons include occasional software lag, non-actionable notifications that cannot be replied to, and the absence of a microphone and speaker for taking calls directly on the wrist.
