Such comprehensive review. Appreciate the data comparison with the ECG chest strap because not many channels actually go deep into the actually accuracy of the data. Subscribed!
To those affected by the rattling sound of the bezel: it is caused by the small "springs" inside the bezel (actually are simply springy metal stripes) which become loose if you remove/install the bezel a couple of times. So when they are loose the bezel has a little play which causes the rattling. A simple solution is to just slightly deform the center of those stripes toward the internal of the bezel, so that they will keep the bezel firmly in place.
5 weeks in and I am overall really happy with the watch and app from Xiaomi. I have noticed that by taking care to position watch corrcetly and tightening band when working out I get more reliable readings for heart rate. After workout it is back to normal more loose and comfy fit that has proved ok for everyday use.
Your videos are amazing! You go through so many valuable pain points and not only! Would love to see a comparison between the Fitbit Charge 6 and the last MiFit band 🙏
Excellent review.... thanks for not compare the watch with other different models or brands. Is great to see a comprehensive review focused only on the watch.
Very good video ! I would like to use the watch to go for a run and see my route when I'm home. Do I need to take my phone with me or can it just run and record on its own?
Thanks! You don't need to take your phone with you with the Xiaomi Watch S3 for outdoor runs as it has a built-in GPS antenna. After you come back and sync with your phone the app will show you the route on a map.
I’m not getting whatsApp notifications on my xiaomi S3 watch although i have turned on the notifications for WhatsApp theough the xiaomi app. Can you kindly guide me?
Hi! Check this video out which may be of some help: www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DZ75AWgQmMTE&ved=2ahUKEwjrt_Dh2-OIAxX1WEEAHc1zAyUQwqsBegQIDxAE&usg=AOvVaw3J2pUUv1xCyXZPLusmsPk_
How do the reminders for running mode work? Are they screen reminders or sound/vocal prompts? I went out for a first run today and did not notice any prompts. Thanks.
Hi! For me it just vibrated when I used the running reminders / alerts. If there was voice feedback the volume was probably so low that I never heard it as either run in the city or in a busy park - and I use normally bluetooth earphones connected to my phone as well so I wouldn't have heard it anyway...normally the watch vibrating was fine for me.
Hi! Yes it can receive notifications but can't reply to anyone from the watch itself. GPS antenna is on the watch, doesn't need phone to track outdoor location during activities.
@@thewearableist Thx! Video helped a lot. To start with I really like the layout as list feature, definitely more my style than the original cluster view. And I will for sure be spending time exploring the Workout menu. Interesting watch this 🙂
Hi! I've seen you can add custom goals and reminders for things like HR, pace, etc. for outdoor running. I don't remember seeing the ability to customise the data screens. See feature number 6 in this video: ruclips.net/video/h0VYs70wkWc/видео.html

You are absolutely right - thanks for asking the question so others in the comments are aware about this 🙌🏼
Thank you so much for giving us with so much information,i really appreciate the tests you did with the dual band gps.and the compare heart rate reading, i really get a lot of information watching your videos,
Which is the longest track, you can record? 5 hours? 10? 20? For example, when I go to a full day bicycle tour, is it possible to record the whole day, for example from 6am to 6pm?
Hi! There are lots of variables around battery life and the settings you chose on your watch (including the climate/temperature you're running in). For me, on average, the battery drained by around 3-4% for an outdoor run in the UK (raining at the time) lasting 35 mins with GPS on, always-on-display off, medium brightness when I did use the screen during the run. So just doing a rough calculation assuming your cycling sesh drains say 5% (conservative) every 40 mins and you start with 100% charge, theoretically (assuming you have similar settings and climeate as I did), the watch should last for approx 13 hours. Remember, just a rough calculation here using own experience so you might get less or more (possibly more) duration than that. Hope that helps 😀
