The Redmi Watch 5 was introduced in China in November last year, and now Xiaomi has finally made it available in the international market. This smartwatch features the largest screen in Xiaomi’s lineup and boasts the thinnest bezels to date. Specifically, it has a 2.07-inch AMOLED display, a clear improvement over the 1.97-inch screen found on its predecessor.
Bright Display for Better Visibility
The display also offers a good level of brightness. While the previous model had a maximum brightness of 600 nits, the Redmi Watch 5 peaks at a brightness of 1,500 nits. Xiaomi claims that this enhanced brightness allows for better visibility, even in direct sunlight. Additionally, the smartwatch’s screen-to-body ratio stands at 82%, which further improves the viewing experience.
More Than Just a Pretty Face
However, the impressive display is not the only feature that stands out in the Redmi Watch 5. Xiaomi highlights that the device is crafted to provide a top-notch smartwatch experience. It includes an advanced linear motor that offers precise yet silent haptic feedback, along with a dual-microphone setup that reduces noise for clearer phone calls.
Focus on Health and Fitness
Xiaomi has also prioritized health and fitness tracking in this model. The Redmi Watch 5 introduces a new self-developed heart rate algorithm, which is claimed to be 5.2% more accurate than the previous version. Moreover, the company asserts that the smartwatch can monitor sleep quality with over 10% improved accuracy.
When it comes to fitness, the smartwatch features more than 150 sports modes, including specialized options like running and cycling. It also includes a 5-system GNSS, which Xiaomi says enables accurate tracking for outdoor activities (Fitbit Inspire currently priced at $79.95 on Amazon). Additional features of the Watch 5 include a 5 ATM water resistance rating, local music playback, a battery life of up to 24 days, and a sleek design. The smartwatch will be up for sale starting January 15, with a price in the UK set at £89.99 (about $110).
