On our phones for instance, we get frequent updates for our apps through the Play Store or the Apple Store depending on your operating system. These are pretty useful but aren’t exactly limited to phones. Smartwatches also receive occasional updates and in this post, we talk you through the simple process of updating your Redmi Watch 2 Lite to the latest firmware. Worth noting is that Xiaomi doesn’t really push out regular updates to its watches, at least not as often as say its Android smartphones that need to get monthly security patches. To update your smartwatch, you will need to have it paired to your phone and connected. We have a post that guides you through the steps to achieve this and you can check out our setup and unboxing post here.

One issue I have had with the Redmi Watch 2 Lite is the hit-and-miss notification when there is a new update available for the watch. Sometimes, the app notifies you of a new update available but oftentimes, you just have to manually check.
