Unboxing and hands-on review with Xiaomi's Imilab KW66 budget smartwatch, which promises to deliver one of the best battery life performances of any watch as we hit 2021. However, that's with very basic use - if you actually use the fitness tracking features etc, expect closer to 2 weeks. All the same, a fortnight of smartwatch action per charge is still one of the greatest returns you'll find outside of the Huawei Watch GT 2 series. It's certainly better than the TicWatch, Amazfit and Realme S.

Here's a link to check out the watch in more detail: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001344559179.html

That said, the Xiaomi Imilab KW66 is limited on the features front. I couldn't get the notifications to work, while the fitness/exercise trackers are also basic vs many rivals. This is definitely a smartwatch for casual users, who prioritise battery life and design over functionality.
