Balancing Long Battery Life and Practical Features
When I first received the Honor Selected ROSSINI Smart Watch 2i, I couldn’t help but wonder: can this device, priced from 199 yuan, truly meet daily needs in terms of basic functions, health monitoring, and exercise tracking? After an in-depth experience, I am here to share this detailed usage report.
Basic Functions: A Stable and Reliable Daily Assistant
Message Notifications and Bluetooth Calling
In the message notification test, the ROSSINI 2i performed stably.
Notifications from WeChat, SMS, and other apps on the phone can be synced to the watch in real-time, with clear vibration feedback that is not overly strong. However, it does not support direct message replies, only allowing content viewing, which is somewhat lacking for scenarios requiring quick responses.
The Bluetooth calling feature is surprisingly good.
The built-in microphone on the watch picks up sound clearly, allowing the other party to hear my voice well in a relatively quiet environment. The speaker volume is also loud enough to maintain normal conversations even on slightly noisy streets. However, in very noisy environments, the call quality may decline, which is a common limitation for all Bluetooth headsets and watches.
Weather and Other Practical Features
The weather updates are accurate and timely, with data likely synchronized with the connected phone’s weather app.
Additionally, small features like remote photography, alarms, and stopwatches work properly without noticeable bugs or delays.
Notably, its NFC transit card and offline payment functions allow for easy payments or rides with just a wave of the hand, truly adding convenience to daily life.
Health Monitoring: All-Day Personal Guardian
Heart Rate Monitoring
The ROSSINI 2i supports 24-hour continuous heart rate monitoring, and in my tests, it consistently recorded heart rate changes and issued alerts for abnormal rates.
Compared to professional medical devices, there may be slight deviations in the values, but it is entirely sufficient for daily health reference.
Sleep Analysis
Sleep monitoring is a major highlight of this watch.
It not only records total sleep time but also analyzes deep sleep, light sleep, and awake periods. Checking the sleep report in the morning has become a recent habit of mine. The data aligns well with my actual feelings, such as on nights when I drank coffee late, the deep sleep time indeed shortens.
It is important to note that, like all smartwatches, its monitoring is indirect and periodic, not real-time medical-grade monitoring. If you have serious health issues, you should still seek professional medical devices.
Blood Oxygen and Stress Monitoring
Blood oxygen saturation detection and stress monitoring are also practical. Especially after long hours of work, checking the stress level on the watch can remind me to take a break. These features together form a comprehensive health monitoring system, which is very useful for health-conscious modern individuals.
Exercise Tracking: Multiple Modes to Meet Basic Needs
Walking and Running
I specifically wore the ROSSINI 2i for multiple walking and running tests.
The step count is highly accurate, consistent with manual counts and phone records.
Distance and calorie calculations are also within a reasonable range.
It supports 109 sports modes and can automatically recognize activities like walking and running. Shortly after starting to run, the watch will automatically ask if you are exercising and begin recording relevant data.
Exercise Data Display
After finishing exercise, detailed data can be viewed through the mobile app, including heart rate changes, pace, and step frequency. For most non-professional athletes, this data is sufficient to guide daily workouts.
However, its GPS positioning relies on the phone and cannot independently record exercise routes. If you need to track your running route without your phone, this watch may not meet your needs.
Battery Life and Charging: Say Goodbye to Battery Anxiety
Battery Performance
The official claim of 14 days of battery life is generally accurate under typical usage scenarios.
In my usage, with all-day heart rate monitoring and message notifications enabled, checking the time several times a day, it lasted 12 days before needing a charge. If more monitoring features are enabled and Bluetooth calling is used, the battery life will shorten accordingly, but it should last a week without issue.
This battery performance completely alleviates the common battery anxiety associated with smart devices, even on short trips, there is no need to carry a charger.
Magnetic Charging
The magnetic charging design is very convenient; simply bring the charger close to the back of the watch, and it will automatically snap into place.
The charging speed is also satisfactory, charging 40% in 30 minutes, and fully charging takes about 1.5 hours.
Compared to those that require precise alignment of contact points or use of dedicated bases, this magnetic design is undoubtedly more user-friendly.
Five-Dimensional Rating: A Comprehensive Review of Its Performance
Basic Functions: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Stable message notifications, clear Bluetooth calls, and accurate weather updates. Missing message reply functionality deducts half a star.
Health Monitoring: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 24-hour heart rate monitoring, sleep analysis, and blood oxygen detection are all included, with data accuracy sufficient for daily use.
Exercise Tracking: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ Basic exercise data recording is accurate, but lacks independent GPS; while there are many exercise modes, the analysis is relatively basic.
Battery Performance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Achieving 12 – 14 days under typical use far exceeds most smartwatches, completely resolving battery anxiety.
Cost-Effectiveness: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ At a price of 199 yuan, the features and experience it offers far exceed its price point, making it highly cost-effective.
Target Audience: Who is Most Suitable for This Watch?
If you meet the following criteria, the Honor Selected ROSSINI Smart Watch 2i would be a good choice:
Budget-Conscious Students: Want to experience smart watch features without spending too much;
First-Time Smart Watch Users: Do not need complex features, just basic practicality;
Health-Conscious Office Workers: Need features like sedentary reminders and heart rate monitoring;
Users Seeking Long Battery Life: Tired of charging smart devices daily.
Conversely, if you are a heavy user needing professional exercise data, independent calling, or eSIM functionality, you may need to consider higher-priced products.
After a comprehensive experience, my impression of the Honor Selected ROSSINI Smart Watch 2i is: it knows its positioning and does its best within a limited price range. While it may not have all the features of top-tier smartwatches, it excels in battery life, basic health monitoring, and practical daily functions, fully justifying its price of 199 yuan.
In the smart wearable device market, we often fall into the misconception that “more features are better,” but the ROSSINI 2i reminds us: what suits you is the best. It may not do everything, but it does what it can quite well.
What features do you value most in a smart watch? Is it essential to have eSIM independent calling, or do you think long battery life and basic functions are sufficient? Feel free to share your thoughts, and we can continue the discussion in the comments.
