Xiaomi's Android smartwatch Watch 2 is currently available for around 140 euros (RRP) - an unrivaled price, especially in view of the competition from Google and Samsung. But is cheap also good? We tested the Chinese challenger.

Xiaomi presented its Watch 2 for the first time at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February. The Android smartwatch has recently been available in a new, more elegant version with a titanium case and white - in our opinion, more of a sand or beige - strap, as well as additional functions. The latter should also be available in the previous versions with an aluminum alloy and plastic strap in either black or white via an update, but will not be available to all users.
