Introduction

Losing or damaging your smartwatch charger is incredibly frustrating. This review focuses on a replacement 1-meter charger cable (Model Number: xian) designed for compatibility with the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 2, Redmi Watch 2 Lite, Redmi Smart Band Pro, and Xiaomi Band 7 Pro. After several weeks of use, I’m ready to share my experience with this affordable and seemingly practical solution.

Features

The xian charger cable boasts a few key features. It’s a simple, no-frills design, focusing on functionality. The 100cm (3.3ft) cable length is generous, offering flexibility in placement. The most important feature is the built-in voltage regulator (PTC), which promises protection against overcurrent and short circuits, safeguarding your valuable smartwatch. This is crucial for preventing damage to your device’s battery.

Performance

The charging speed is comparable to the original charger. I didn’t notice any significant difference in charging time. The cable felt durable enough during my testing; it hasn’t shown any signs of wear or tear after several weeks of consistent use. The connection to both the watch and the USB port is secure and snug, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnections. The promised protection from overcurrent and short circuits provides peace of mind.

The cable’s length is definitely a plus, allowing me to charge my watch conveniently without being constrained to a wall outlet directly next to my bed. It’s also convenient for charging on the go, if I am using a laptop or a portable power bank.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Affordable price, sufficient cable length, built-in voltage regulator (PTC) for safety, reliable charging speed, compatible with multiple models.
• Cons: Basic design (some might prefer a more premium-looking cable), no fast charging capability.

Final Verdict

The xian replacement charger cable is a solid choice if you need a reliable and affordable replacement for your Xiaomi/Redmi smartwatch. While it lacks fancy features, it delivers on its core function – charging your watch efficiently and safely. The built-in protection is a key selling point. If you’re on a budget or simply need a dependable backup, this charger is a worthy contender. I would recommend this product for its simplicity and functionality.
