Pros
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
Xiaomi Watch 5 has a round 1.54-inch AMOLED screen with a 480 x 480 resolution. You can check notifications and workout data on your wrist, while built-in navigation records routes without a phone.
Wear OS provides Google Play, maps and compatible watch apps. The 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage leave room for apps and downloaded music; NFC supports Google Wallet where the country and bank are supported.
Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 and BES2800BP share processing duties, while the 930 mAh battery is rated for up to 6 days in smart mode or 4 with AOD. Sapphire glass and EMG gesture control add to the Wear OS features.
