The Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5, released on 27th November, 2024, is an eagerly anticipated addition to Xiaomi’s wearable lineup. This smartwatch is designed for users who seek a balance between fitness tracking, smart functionality, and affordability. Although it lacks cellular connectivity, the Watch 5 offers a range of features that make it a strong contender in the budget smartwatch segment.

Design and Build

The Redmi Watch 5 is designed with a focus on simplicity and durability. It has a compact body measuring 49.1 x 40.4 x 11.4 mm, making it comfortable to wear for extended periods. Weighing only 42.2 grams, it is lightweight and unobtrusive on the wrist. The watch comes with an IPX8 water resistance rating, meaning it can withstand submersion in water, making it suitable for swimming and other water-based activities.

Available in two colors, Midnight Black and Matte Silver, the Watch 5 has a minimalist design that can easily complement various styles, whether you’re in a workout session or at a casual outing.

Display

The smartwatch features a 2.07-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 320 x 385 pixels, offering a decent pixel density of approximately 250 ppi. This ensures that the screen displays information clearly and crisply, even in direct sunlight, thanks to its peak brightness of 500 nits. While the display is not AMOLED, which is common in higher-end models, the IPS LCD panel still provides vibrant colors and wide viewing angles.

Features and Performance

The Redmi Watch 5 runs on Xiaomi’s HyperOS, a custom operating system designed to offer smooth performance and intuitive navigation. While the exact internal storage capacity is unspecified, it is expected to be adequate for managing apps, notifications, and fitness data without lag.

Although the watch lacks GPS, Wi-Fi, and NFC, it supports Bluetooth 5.3 with A2DP and LE, ensuring efficient and stable wireless connectivity for syncing with smartphones and other devices. This version of Bluetooth also enables better battery efficiency, which is crucial for a device that is worn throughout the day.

Health and Fitness Tracking

Xiaomi has equipped the Redmi Watch 5 with essential health and fitness tracking features. It includes an accelerometer for step counting and motion detection, a heart rate monitor for continuous heart rate tracking, and a SpO2 sensor for measuring blood oxygen levels. These features cater to both casual users and fitness enthusiasts, providing vital health data and insights during workouts.

Battery Life

One of the standout features of the Redmi Watch 5 is its battery life. Powered by a 470 mAh non-removable battery, the watch is expected to last several days on a single charge, depending on usage. This makes it a reliable companion for those who do not want to charge their wearable every day.

Conclusion

The Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 is positioned as an affordable yet functional smartwatch, ideal for users who prioritize health tracking and basic smart features over advanced connectivity options. Its lightweight design, durable build, and robust battery life make it a solid choice for budget-conscious consumers looking for a reliable wearable device. While it may not boast high-end features, the Redmi Watch 5 offers excellent value for its price, making it a worthy addition to Xiaomi’s growing lineup of smartwatches.
