For weeks, the Mi Watch Beige (BHR4723GL) has been my constant companion. I’ve worn it during intense workouts, long days at the office, and even while catching up on sleep. This review aims to provide a balanced perspective, highlighting both its strengths and areas where it could improve.

The Mi Watch Beige boasts a vibrant 1.39-inch 326 ppi display, which remains crisp and clear even under direct sunlight. The Always-On Display is a welcome feature, although it does impact battery life. The selection of over 100 watch faces is impressive, allowing for significant personalization. The ability to customize and even use live watch faces adds a nice touch. Beyond aesthetics, the health tracking features are extensive, covering heart rate monitoring (24/7), sleep tracking, stress monitoring, and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) testing. The GPS functionality is accurate and reliable, making it a great companion for outdoor activities.

The battery life is a standout feature. Xiaomi’s claims of 16 days of regular use and 50 hours with GPS and sports tracking proved mostly accurate during my testing. I consistently exceeded a week on a single charge with moderate use, including daily heart rate and sleep tracking. The GPS performance was impressive, providing accurate location data during runs and hikes. The responsiveness of the touchscreen was generally good, although occasional minor lag was noticeable. The health data tracked seemed accurate, aligning with similar devices I’ve tested. The SpO2 readings appeared consistent, though I’d recommend not relying on it solely for health diagnosis and always consulting with a medical professional. The comfort level is also excellent. The band is lightweight and breathable. The adjustable band size caters to most users, and the light weight made it suitable for prolonged wear.

Pros

• Excellent battery life
• Accurate GPS tracking
• High-resolution display
• Comprehensive health tracking features
• Lightweight and comfortable design
• Wide selection of watch faces

Cons

• Occasional minor lag in the interface
• Always-On Display impacts battery life
• Micro USB charging (rather than USB-C)

The Mi Watch Beige (BHR4723GL) offers a compelling blend of features, performance, and long battery life at an attractive price point. While it’s not perfect – the minor interface lag and the use of Micro USB are noticeable drawbacks – its overall performance and feature set make it a strong contender in its price range. I would comfortably recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and reliable smartwatch with excellent battery life and comprehensive health monitoring capabilities.
