Redmi hosted an online event yesterday to announce the Note 11 series. The company also announced its second-gen smartwatch at the same event. Here, we will be discussing the key specs, features, expected price, and availability of the Redmi Watch 2 in Nepal.
Redmi Watch 2 Overview:
Design and Display
Redmi has made some significant changes in the display department. The Watch 2 weighs 31 grams and sports a bigger 1.6-inch square display than its predecessor. Not only is the display larger here, but it also uses an AMOLED panel instead of LCD, thus resulting in better colors.
Also, the bezels around the display have been trimmed for a better screen-to-body ratio. In terms of watch faces, Redmi says you can choose from over 100+ options.
Health and Fitness Tracking
Redmi Watch 2 comes with all the health and fitness tracking features that we expect on a budget smartwatch. It supports 24-hour heart rate, blood oxygen saturation level (SpO2), and sleep monitoring. It also comes with menstrual cycle tracking, stress monitoring, step counter, and more.
On top of this, the Watch 2 has a total of 117 sports modes. And since it is 5ATM rated, you can wear it when swimming as well. It even has a built-in GPS (dual) to track your workout trails. This smartwatch can also automatically detect a few workouts.
Getting to the battery, Redmi Watch 2 packs a 225mAh cell and the company is claiming up to 12 days of endurance on normal usage. The being said, it can only last up to 7 days on heavy usage and a mere 18 hours with GPS turned on. It juices up via a proprietary 2-pin charger.
