Xiaomi Watch S4 Review: The Best All-Around Smartwatch for Fitness and Style

💡 **First Impressions: Unboxing Experience**
The sleek metal bezel paired with an AMOLED Retina display delivers a premium feel that’s hard to resist! The 46mm face is bold and versatile, perfect for both formal and casual settings. While the silicone strap that comes out of the box isn’t my cup of tea, I swapped it for a magnetic quick-release woven band—there are tons of options online to suit your style. Customizing it to reflect your personality has never been easier!

📱 **Smart Features: Real-Life Testing**
– **Health Management:** Around-the-clock heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring, plus a new “stress tracking” mode. As a working professional, I tested it during my lunch break, and my stress levels dropped by 20%—impressive!
– **Sports Modes:** With over 150 types of activities covered, this watch has got you sorted for any workout.

During a cycling session, the GPS accuracy was on par with high-end sports watches. Plus, its ability to automatically detect swimming strokes? Pure genius!
– **Lifestyle Assistant:** NFC makes subway rides or door access seamless, while notifications like WeChat messages and texts appear right on your wrist.

You can even use it to remotely control your phone’s camera—handy for group selfies!

🔋 **Battery Life: A Game-Changer**
Heavy users will only need to charge every two days, but in light-use mode, this beast can last up to seven days! In a real-world test, three hours of continuous outdoor activity drained just 15% of the battery. No more lugging around chargers when traveling—a dream come true for frequent travelers.

💰 **Value for Money: Final Thoughts**
This device offers incredible value for money. Some have called it an oversized Mi Band, but upon closer inspection, the features are comparable, with the added bonus of being able to reply directly to WeChat messages. It’s practical, functional, and far from being a mere “pretty face.

” If you’re swayed by its striking design alone, it’s absolutely worth the investment. Thanks to subsidies from Pinduoduo and government programs, you can snag one for as low as ¥688. Don’t hesitate—grab yours today!
