In a world where every second counts, having a sidekick that keeps up with your daily grind isn’t just convenient—it’s essential. From tracking my morning runs to looking presentable in meetings and helping me burn extra calories at night, I need a watch that seamlessly adapts to every part of my day. We took the latest Xiaomi Watch S4 for a spin to see if it’s built for the everyday lifestyle of a Filipino who’s always on the go.

Designed for the fast-paced professional

The first thing that really stood out to me was how sleek and versatile it looks for meetings and events. But after testing it out, I realized I can not only switch the straps but also swap the bezels effortlessly to match any occasion. Now, I don’t have to look like I’m heading to the office when I’m out for a Sunday fun run.

The 1.43-inch AMOLED display is incredibly useful, providing clear visibility even under bright sunlight—perfect for checking my calorie progress during outdoor activities.

Speaking of running or working out, the classic rotating crown is a game-changer. I hate it when sweaty hands make touchscreens impossible to use, and Xiaomi nailed it with this feature. Navigating from notifications to calorie count during workouts has never been smoother.

Sports modes: More than just tracking

One of the biggest challenges of a busy lifestyle is maintaining a fitness routine, and sometimes I want to switch things up beyond lifting weights or running. The 150+ sports modes don’t just track my calories when I practice football kick-ups or sharpen my three-pointers like Curry, but with so many activities to choose from, they help me discover new ways to move every day. (Yes, I even tracked a yoga session with this!)

Battery life that keeps up

Xiaomi officially says the Watch S4 lasts up to 15 days on a single charge, and after a week of testing, I still haven’t needed to plug it in—it’s sitting at 50% battery. Honestly, I forget that this is a smartwatch that even needs charging, and that alone tells me that this is a reliable everyday companion. Perfect for those long workdays, gym sessions, or even out-of-town trips where you just don’t have time to think about charging another device.

Hold. Stop. Breathe.

Okay yeah, I’ve been talking a lot about keeping up with schedules, being on time, working out, and all that exciting stuff. But one thing I really love about the Xiaomi Watch S4? It also helps you pause.
In this fast-paced world, we’re always told to be on the go, but the breathing exercises on the watch remind you that it’s okay to take a break. Whether it’s 1-minute box breathing or a quick power nap, Xiaomi hit the nail on the head—sometimes, the best way to be productive is knowing when to stop.

The verdict

The Xiaomi Watch S4 doesn’t just tell the time, track calories, or help you keep up with your demanding schedule—it’s a true sidekick.

From managing work commitments to tracking health goals, it’s the perfect companion for anyone who wants to balance productivity, wellness, and a little bit of style along the way. Whether you’re grinding through meetings, squeezing in a workout, or simply reminding yourself to slow down and breathe, this sidekick has your back.
