The evaluation should always be based on the experience we gain from the product and not the experience we would LIKE the product to have, especially when it is NOT stated in its features and specifications. This introduction is a response to the most downvoted comment as well as to some other reviews.

Redmi Watch 5, a watch from the expensive end of the budget category. Since I never had a smart watch before, I decided to make a dynamic start and buy the Watch 5, not the Lite or Active versions that cost 25-30€. Purchase price for this model was 92€. The differences are in the build, the screen, battery, and the quality of the individual components compared to other watches in the other subcategories.

Its screen is a 2.07'' AMOLED. I believe that when among some products, one offers such a screen, you go for that product. The screen has vibrant colors, the refresh rate is normal, and the responsiveness is satisfactory, although sometimes if I try to press a button in a hurry, I 'miss'. Since we are talking about a watch, it is important to emphasize that in the frequent cases when we are outside the house, its brightness does not disappoint and you can see very clearly; the automatic brightness, on the other hand, adjusts the appropriate level of screen brightness correctly and quickly.

It has a proper app for calls, giving you the option to make calls to recent numbers or choose among 100 favorite contacts you set in the Mi Fitness android app. The person you are talking to hears you just fine. The microphone generally works better than you would expect and does its job well in cases where someone is washing dishes but also talking on the phone via the watch, for example.

I know most of you are interested in the measurements and their accuracy. The device records various data such as calories, movement time, and step count, and the more 'medical' ones: oxygen, heart rate, heart rate variability, etc. This is somewhat relative because there must be many comparison parameters. In terms of movement and steps, I noticed that the measurements are almost spot on, comparing with an expensive phone I own (I say this in terms of good features one expects to find in more expensive models), but for calories, I think it depends on the individual, so those are approximate. On the internet, users generally report that it has good measurements regarding the rest, but according to the LOGICAL disclaimer of the watch, you should consult a doctor as the watch does not substitute for such a role.

Its build quality is generally good, the aluminum frame is durable, and the silicone strap is comfortable on the skin. Note that the strap can be changed simply by pressing a button on each side of the watch, so you won’t have any trouble at all.

Other functions: It has 150 workout programs so you can take your measurements. You can set specific goals or leave it open while also controlling the music or series you are watching on your phone. The watch has a small memory to store some songs, not large, but still, it is a positive small addition. You can view the notes you have entered in the app, remotely control your phone’s camera, set notifications for these, flashlight, stopwatch, alarm, compass, etc. It should be noted that you CANNOT download apps from the store; simply, when you delete an app, you can reinstall it.

Note: The European version does NOT support NFC, since if you check foreign sites you may see the designation 'region dependent' in the NFC field.

Finally, the Mi Fitness app is quite good and simple to use and definitely an essential tool, as through it you can set which apps you want to receive notifications from on the watch, notes, favorite contacts, you can download watchfaces (something like wallpapers but for watches), view the entire history of measurements and workouts, and set how often you want the watch to take measurements—if you want. The latter can also be done directly from the watch itself. I would advise you to enable the app's function in the background, something that both the watch and the app inform you about, but I think they make it confusing. Long press on the Mi Fitness app icon, tap App Info, and then Battery Usage. Select to allow activity and background activity. This may differ slightly depending on the brand of your phone but essentially it is the same.

The important thing I left for last is the watch's waterproofing. While I generally had no issue, as soon as I submerged it a little under water when I entered the sea, it restarted on its own and then chaos ensued. It became very slow, it received calls and had sound but the touch did not work. After a few hours, it broke down completely. I sent it back and it was replaced within 14 days. I don't know if this particular piece was defective; my girlfriend has the Watch 3 Active and has had no issues, so because of this, I would like to give it 3.5/5 if possible, but I give it 4 stars because the positive experience outweighs the negative.

It is supposed to be waterproof as that was the reason it was purchased, but after 2 months it broke down, the touch stopped working, and it started to get very hot

    I have had it for 4 months and so far it performs very well..! Its battery life is excellent! With only sleep tracking enabled and sometimes Bluetooth on, it lasts exactly 3 weeks for me.. It has unlimited exercise functions! The only bad thing is the screen because it has gotten some scratches.. so get a screen protector to protect it as much as possible..

    I am very satisfied with the watch. It is my first one so I have no point of comparison, but the measurements for heart rate and oxygen seem accurate based on some comparisons I made. I have almost all functions enabled and yet it lasts 9-10 days before a notification pops up that it has reached 20%.

    Now, as for endurance tests against water, dust, and sweat, it is too early to say since I have had it for less than a month.

    I had bought it as a gift for a friend exactly 13 months ago (February 2025). The watch has a very readable dial, making it very easy to use. Indeed. My friend himself has told me that he likes it very much and that it is very beautiful and comfortable. It is not heavy on the wrist. It is relatively accurate in its measurements. As for the battery, I am not sure how long it lasts (but it does last more than 3 days). Finally, it connects easily and quickly to any mobile phone.

    Charging lasts over twenty days, the measurements are ok but not very accurate. Fully waterproof, I've been using it for over 2 months now and even in pool swimming the watch hasn't had any issues. Minus one star for the measurements..

    This review is about the colour: Black

    I have had the watch for about 5 months. I had read the comments here and some say the battery lasts 2 days, others say 14, others say a month...

    and I have to tell you, probably everyone is right.

    I have done quite a few tests to see what's going on with our watch.
    To make the battery last at least half a month, do the following:
    1. turn off "always on display"
    2. turn off "raise to wake"
    3. set "Screen on for" to off
    4. turn off "Double tap to wake"

    now, if you want to go a bit further, continue with
    5. not many calls from the watch
    6. not many alarms on the watch
    7. not all your phone notifications ringing on the watch

    I haven't checked how much battery it uses when you go out for a run with GPS on. With exercising at home though, 4 times a week, it doesn't seem to use much battery.

    Finally, with all other settings for tracking stress, heart rate, sleep, breathing, oxygen open, it lasts for 25 days.

    I hope I helped you

    This review is about the colour: Silver

    The watch has very good features as presented, with a slightly shorter actual battery life, but for me, 14 days of duration is good. So far, so good... STAY AWAY FOR NOW, IT HAS A HUGE BUG. When a phone call is made through the watch and a second call comes in at the same time, the conversation on the watch is interrupted and transferred to the phone. Imagine this happening while someone is driving. We are waiting for new firmware. It is not a problem with my device since it was replaced with another that shows the same behavior.

    a very good value for money watch, its battery if for example when you don't use the watch you turn it off, it definitely lasts 30 days easily, all notifications come through, it doesn't miss anything, the phone sounds clear for its category, easy strap attachment and removal if you want to change them, I have nothing negative to say, it's worth it 1000%!!!

    The battery lasts 48 hours. From the first charge and after, with moderate use, it lasts about 48 hours, that is, two days and not up to 24 days as the company claims... latest update, after changes I made in usage and a restart (which is necessary for the changes to be registered), the battery lasts much longer. Right now, I'm on day 4 and the battery is at 80%!!!

    My wife is impressed! It is very beautiful with quality construction! It also has a large and high-quality screen, in terms of resolution, colors, and brightness! As for the measurements, it is also excellent! The watch is worth its money and more, which is not a small amount, but it is a high-quality watch!
    P.S. If you do chores or exercise, you can talk with volume and quality from the watch! Excellent! Xiaomi!!!

    71% battery when I got it, it ran out in two days. I charged it for the first time, again two days. I sent it back, they sent me a new one quite quickly. On the second day it disconnected and needed pairing again. €76 purchase. Also, I got it because it said you can set a custom image as a background, but you can't do that on a phone unless it has Xiaomi software. This was not mentioned anywhere. A bit expensive for what it offers.

    Update 8 days after the second watch. The battery lasts 2-3-4 days max with all notifications off. UNACCEPTABLE

    After the first month, it started disconnecting constantly. The app always shows that I need to grant permissions for proper operation even though I have them all enabled. In general, you get what you pay for.

    The battery lasts quite a while. It has some nice features for sports and so on. I don't know how accurate the calories are. I think the measurement is a bit optimistic.

    Purchased at €85, I have to say it is value for money. Very easy to use, it came with a 51% battery, with heavy use like a brand new watch and everything activated except for always on display (which I personally don't use), it went down to 20% after 8 days and charging took about 1 hour to reach 100%. Measurements seem accurate for steps, heart rate, oxygen, etc. The automatic brightness is a bit slow in certain conditions but it's not a problem. The screen is easy to read and there are also plenty of watch faces available for free.

    I have had it for about a month and something and I am very satisfied. Incredible battery life, at least 10-12 days without charging it and with quite a lot of daily use. I was also able to transfer my previous data from a watch of another brand, which was a big plus. Very good value for money and the color is amazing, it fits perfectly even on me who has a very small wrist (I use the second hole).

The evaluation should always be based on the experience we gain from the product and not the experience we would LIKE the product to have, especially when it is NOT stated in its features and specifications. This introduction is a response to the most downvoted comment as well as to some other reviews.

Redmi Watch 5, a watch from the expensive end of the budget category. Since I never had a smart watch before, I decided to make a dynamic start and buy the Watch 5, not the Lite or Active versions that cost 25-30€. Purchase price for this model was 92€. The differences are in the build, the screen, battery, and the quality of the individual components compared to other watches in the other subcategories.

Its screen is a 2.07'' AMOLED. I believe that when among some products, one offers such a screen, you go for that product. The screen has vibrant colors, the refresh rate is normal, and the responsiveness is satisfactory, although sometimes if I try to press a button in a hurry, I 'miss'. Since we are talking about a watch, it is important to emphasize that in the frequent cases when we are outside the house, its brightness does not disappoint and you can see very clearly; the automatic brightness, on the other hand, adjusts the appropriate level of screen brightness correctly and quickly.

It has a proper app for calls, giving you the option to make calls to recent numbers or choose among 100 favorite contacts you set in the Mi Fitness android app. The person you are talking to hears you just fine. The microphone generally works better than you would expect and does its job well in cases where someone is washing dishes but also talking on the phone via the watch, for example.

I know most of you are interested in the measurements and their accuracy. The device records various data such as calories, movement time, and step count, and the more 'medical' ones: oxygen, heart rate, heart rate variability, etc. This is somewhat relative because there must be many comparison parameters. In terms of movement and steps, I noticed that the measurements are almost spot on, comparing with an expensive phone I own (I say this in terms of good features one expects to find in more expensive models), but for calories, I think it depends on the individual, so those are approximate. On the internet, users generally report that it has good measurements regarding the rest, but according to the LOGICAL disclaimer of the watch, you should consult a doctor as the watch does not substitute for such a role.

Its build quality is generally good, the aluminum frame is durable, and the silicone strap is comfortable on the skin. Note that the strap can be changed simply by pressing a button on each side of the watch, so you won’t have any trouble at all.

Other functions: It has 150 workout programs so you can take your measurements. You can set specific goals or leave it open while also controlling the music or series you are watching on your phone. The watch has a small memory to store some songs, not large, but still, it is a positive small addition. You can view the notes you have entered in the app, remotely control your phone’s camera, set notifications for these, flashlight, stopwatch, alarm, compass, etc. It should be noted that you CANNOT download apps from the store; simply, when you delete an app, you can reinstall it.

Note: The European version does NOT support NFC, since if you check foreign sites you may see the designation 'region dependent' in the NFC field.

Finally, the Mi Fitness app is quite good and simple to use and definitely an essential tool, as through it you can set which apps you want to receive notifications from on the watch, notes, favorite contacts, you can download watchfaces (something like wallpapers but for watches), view the entire history of measurements and workouts, and set how often you want the watch to take measurements—if you want. The latter can also be done directly from the watch itself. I would advise you to enable the app's function in the background, something that both the watch and the app inform you about, but I think they make it confusing. Long press on the Mi Fitness app icon, tap App Info, and then Battery Usage. Select to allow activity and background activity. This may differ slightly depending on the brand of your phone but essentially it is the same.

The important thing I left for last is the watch's waterproofing. While I generally had no issue, as soon as I submerged it a little under water when I entered the sea, it restarted on its own and then chaos ensued. It became very slow, it received calls and had sound but the touch did not work. After a few hours, it broke down completely. I sent it back and it was replaced within 14 days. I don't know if this particular piece was defective; my girlfriend has the Watch 3 Active and has had no issues, so because of this, I would like to give it 3.5/5 if possible, but I give it 4 stars because the positive experience outweighs the negative.

It is supposed to be waterproof as that was the reason it was purchased, but after 2 months it broke down, the touch stopped working, and it started to get very hot

    I have had it for 4 months and so far it performs very well..! Its battery life is excellent! With only sleep tracking enabled and sometimes Bluetooth on, it lasts exactly 3 weeks for me.. It has unlimited exercise functions! The only bad thing is the screen because it has gotten some scratches.. so get a screen protector to protect it as much as possible..

    I am very satisfied with the watch. It is my first one so I have no point of comparison, but the measurements for heart rate and oxygen seem accurate based on some comparisons I made. I have almost all functions enabled and yet it lasts 9-10 days before a notification pops up that it has reached 20%.

    Now, as for endurance tests against water, dust, and sweat, it is too early to say since I have had it for less than a month.

    I had bought it as a gift for a friend exactly 13 months ago (February 2025). The watch has a very readable dial, making it very easy to use. Indeed. My friend himself has told me that he likes it very much and that it is very beautiful and comfortable. It is not heavy on the wrist. It is relatively accurate in its measurements. As for the battery, I am not sure how long it lasts (but it does last more than 3 days). Finally, it connects easily and quickly to any mobile phone.

    Charging lasts over twenty days, the measurements are ok but not very accurate. Fully waterproof, I've been using it for over 2 months now and even in pool swimming the watch hasn't had any issues. Minus one star for the measurements..

    This review is about the colour: Black

    I have had the watch for about 5 months. I had read the comments here and some say the battery lasts 2 days, others say 14, others say a month...

    and I have to tell you, probably everyone is right.

    I have done quite a few tests to see what's going on with our watch.
    To make the battery last at least half a month, do the following:
    1. turn off "always on display"
    2. turn off "raise to wake"
    3. set "Screen on for" to off
    4. turn off "Double tap to wake"

    now, if you want to go a bit further, continue with
    5. not many calls from the watch
    6. not many alarms on the watch
    7. not all your phone notifications ringing on the watch

    I haven't checked how much battery it uses when you go out for a run with GPS on. With exercising at home though, 4 times a week, it doesn't seem to use much battery.

    Finally, with all other settings for tracking stress, heart rate, sleep, breathing, oxygen open, it lasts for 25 days.

    I hope I helped you

    This review is about the colour: Silver

    The watch has very good features as presented, with a slightly shorter actual battery life, but for me, 14 days of duration is good. So far, so good... STAY AWAY FOR NOW, IT HAS A HUGE BUG. When a phone call is made through the watch and a second call comes in at the same time, the conversation on the watch is interrupted and transferred to the phone. Imagine this happening while someone is driving. We are waiting for new firmware. It is not a problem with my device since it was replaced with another that shows the same behavior.

    a very good value for money watch, its battery if for example when you don't use the watch you turn it off, it definitely lasts 30 days easily, all notifications come through, it doesn't miss anything, the phone sounds clear for its category, easy strap attachment and removal if you want to change them, I have nothing negative to say, it's worth it 1000%!!!

    The battery lasts 48 hours. From the first charge and after, with moderate use, it lasts about 48 hours, that is, two days and not up to 24 days as the company claims... latest update, after changes I made in usage and a restart (which is necessary for the changes to be registered), the battery lasts much longer. Right now, I'm on day 4 and the battery is at 80%!!!

    My wife is impressed! It is very beautiful with quality construction! It also has a large and high-quality screen, in terms of resolution, colors, and brightness! As for the measurements, it is also excellent! The watch is worth its money and more, which is not a small amount, but it is a high-quality watch!
    P.S. If you do chores or exercise, you can talk with volume and quality from the watch! Excellent! Xiaomi!!!

    71% battery when I got it, it ran out in two days. I charged it for the first time, again two days. I sent it back, they sent me a new one quite quickly. On the second day it disconnected and needed pairing again. €76 purchase. Also, I got it because it said you can set a custom image as a background, but you can't do that on a phone unless it has Xiaomi software. This was not mentioned anywhere. A bit expensive for what it offers.

    Update 8 days after the second watch. The battery lasts 2-3-4 days max with all notifications off. UNACCEPTABLE

    After the first month, it started disconnecting constantly. The app always shows that I need to grant permissions for proper operation even though I have them all enabled. In general, you get what you pay for.

    The battery lasts quite a while. It has some nice features for sports and so on. I don't know how accurate the calories are. I think the measurement is a bit optimistic.

    Very elegant - Clear display - Much more practical than the Mi Band 6 I had. Except for the calories, the other recordings seem accurate. The microphone has fluctuations in volume and many times the person on the other end cannot hear clearly.

    Purchased at €85, I have to say it is value for money. Very easy to use, it came with a 51% battery, with heavy use like a brand new watch and everything activated except for always on display (which I personally don't use), it went down to 20% after 8 days and charging took about 1 hour to reach 100%. Measurements seem accurate for steps, heart rate, oxygen, etc. The automatic brightness is a bit slow in certain conditions but it's not a problem. The screen is easy to read and there are also plenty of watch faces available for free.

    I have had it for about a month and something and I am very satisfied. Incredible battery life, at least 10-12 days without charging it and with quite a lot of daily use. I was also able to transfer my previous data from a watch of another brand, which was a big plus. Very good value for money and the color is amazing, it fits perfectly even on me who has a very small wrist (I use the second hole).
