MI Watches Revolve Design and Display:
Xiaomi has got it best when it comes to design and features. MI watches revolve a circular display with a thin black bezel bordering it. It is set inside a shiny metal body with two buttons on the right.
The button on the top of the revolving is the power button and it can also be used to bring up menus while using the watch. The second button is a shortcut key and can be assigned to a quick workout or a different function you choose.
The Mi Watch Revolve has a 46mm case which makes it bigger than some of the other wearables that are offered to you in the market and its big display is easy to read and packs in more content on each screen, it might seem and feel too big if you have skinny hands.
You might also unintentionally hit the watch while walking around, something I did in the first few days that I was using it. Xiaomi has raised the case around the 1.39-inch AMOLED display. It is bigger than you get in Mi Smart Band 5.
Which helps maintain it safe in the occurrence of accidental knocks. After 15 days of use, I can say that there are no scratches or damage on the display of my review unit.
