Pros
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
Redmi Watch 5 has a 2.07-inch AMOLED screen with a 432 x 514 resolution. The large rectangular display is convenient for notifications, music controls and checking workout data.
Xiaomi rates typical use at up to 24 days, which suits anyone who prefers not to charge a watch every evening. Frequent calls and extensive workout tracking reduce battery life.
It works with Android and iPhone through Mi Fitness and handles Bluetooth calls. It suits notifications, workouts and daily activity tracking without needing a large collection of watch apps.
Built-in satellite navigation records routes without a smartphone, useful for runs and walks. Support for five satellite systems helps with positioning.
An aluminium frame and crown give it a traditional watch feel. The 60 Hz display makes menus smoother, while automatic brightness adapts to indoor and outdoor use.
