What we don't like about Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro

  • Lacks support for third-party apps, limiting its functionality compared to Wear OS or Apple devices
  • Inaccurate tracking data for high-intensity heart rate and GPS route consistency
  • High price point that makes it a 'tough sell' compared to established rivals like Samsung or Apple

  • NFC payment support (Xiaomi Pay) is restricted to specific banks and Mastercard only
  • Chunky and heavy design that can be uncomfortable for sleep tracking or small wrists

Verdict

The Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro is a premium smartwatch featuring a 1.47-inch AMOLED display with a 480x480 resolution, protected by sapphire crystal and housed in a 316L stainless steel frame. It is powered by a 12nm processor running MIUI Watch OS, offering a rotatable crown with haptic feedback, 5ATM water resistance, and a 500mAh battery providing up to 14 days of typical usage. Key pros include its elegant classic watch design, vibrant 600-nit screen, dual-band five-system GPS, and convenient wireless fast charging. However, some users note cons such as inconsistent heart rate and GPS tracking accuracy compared to high-end rivals, a lack of extensive third-party app support, and a bulky 46mm chassis that may feel oversized on smaller wrists.
