The Watch S2 is equipped with the usual health monitoring features, including heart rate, SpO2 and temperature sensors. However, unlike other smartwatches out there, the wearable sports a body composition measurement feature that records data like fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, protein volume and more.

This is usually only available on smart scales but Xiaomi has managed to include it with the Watch S2 and requires users to place two fingers on the side buttons. Other health and fitness-related features of the Watch S2 include sleep and stress trackers, women’s menstrual cycle monitoring, breathing exercises as well as over 100 sports modes.
