Smart gadgets have long and firmly become as necessary as a TV, a telephone, as electricity itself. So smartwatches, seemingly quite recently representing the seventh wonder of the world, are increasingly becoming an everyday routine. Of all the creators of smart watches, the most famous, affordable manufacturer is Xiaomi. The editorial staff of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" offers you an overview of the best Xiaomi smartwatches for 2020.

What is a smart watch and their main functionality

A smart watch, or as they are also called, smart watches, is a mobile device with a screen that is compatible with a smartphone. The majority of devices work as an addition to your phone, performing the following types of tasks:

• Inform about received messages (SMS, MMS), calls. After all, sometimes, for example, if the smartphone is out of the direct access zone, in a bag, or the user may be busy driving the car, then answering a call will take a long time. The phone will need to be taken out, unlocked, and if the call or message is of an unwanted nature, put it in its place by repeating complex manipulations with it. Some models also have support for mobile phone calls.
• Quick access to the most common daily functions, calculator, timer, alarm setting.
• The simplest "reminder" about an appointment, a necessary purchase or a planned call.
• Information display of exchange rates, weather forecasts, sports competitions and their results.
• Health monitoring - heart rate monitor, counting calories burned or consumed, pedometer, determining the start, duration of training.
• Laying, determining the route if this electronics with a GPS tracker. This feature is very useful for children, as it allows you to accurately determine their location.
• Listening to music, composing a playlist, controlling a smartphone player.
• Working with branded applications developed for such a gadget.
• Game functions.
• Displays the current time.
• Compilation of lists of upcoming purchases, payment for them using the NFC function.
• Searching for a missing phone in the room or installing an application that signals to the phone about the distance from its location, that is, a function that helps not to lose the phone.

All of the above possibilities are workable with a smartphone, but there are gadgets with the function of the phone itself, that is, they are equipped with a SIM card slot. Moreover, a number of sellers on AliExpress offer devices with a built-in camera. However, gadgets of this kind can be equated with spy devices. It should also be understood that the more functions and capabilities a model has, the faster its battery will drain. The usual operating time of a smart watch without recharging is a day or two, although now there are devices that can last up to 5 or more days.

Main characteristics and device of the watch

A smart watch consists of the following components;

1. The outer shell (case), the strap are the main requirement for these nodes, a beautiful appearance and hypoallergenic material for their manufacture. As a rule, they use metal, leather, silicone, plastic. The best manufacturers make the strap removable so that you can change the style.In appearance, models are of a certain gender orientation, for men, women or unisex. Case design is conventionally divided into two categories, made as an electronic device and in the style of a watch with hands. The latter are also analog clocks, they have mechanical hands, performing the function of a sensor of incoming messages, a telephone call. The type of case also determines the moisture and dust resistance of the gadget. So some allow you to immerse yourself with them in water for a short time, others only tolerate short-term splashes of water.
2. The display - like on any other similar devices, smartphone, tablet, is one of the most important parameters, especially since the convenience of handling smarts directly depends on the size of its dial. As a rule, LCD, OLED, SuperAMOLED or monochrome e-papier matrices are used in its manufacture. As a rule, inexpensive children's watches are equipped with the latest matrices, because this technology provides high image contrast with a long service life of the device without recharging.
3. Operating system - if the watch works as an addition to a smartphone, then it does not need an OS. Independent gadgets are equipped, as a rule, with Android, iOS less often with Windows Phone. Android models can often work in conjunction with the iPhone, but then some of their functions are cut. The manufacturer can also offer a proprietary OS. These include Garmin, Tizen, MTK.
4. Processor - its power, the number of processor cores determine the speed of the gadget, its battery life. The popularity of Xiaomi models in their balanced power / time ratio.
5. Physical, random access memory - the number of downloaded applications, saved media files, documents depends on them.
6. Battery - Provides long battery life
7. Built-in sensors - illumination, heart rate, movement, accelerometer, GPS provide additional opportunities for working with the watch.
8. Communication modules - for communication with a smartphone (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi), payment systems (NFC), external headsets (headphones).
