Redmi Watch 5 Active Smartwatch, 2.0 Inch LCD Display, 18 Day Battery, 140+ Sports Modes, Heart Rate and SPO₂ Tracking, 5ATM Waterproof, Bluetooth Calls, Fitness Tracker, Sleep Monitor - Silver

It's overall a good watch - and a great price. Only 2 very minor issues: the watch strap included was very fiddly, so I bought a different type of strap, which was under £10 :-), and I don't know if it was the firmware update that messed with it, but it misses counts when using my exercise bike. It could be that it is step-counting and my bike is static. Works well on the treadmill.Good battery life. Lasts about three days with 3–4 times a day on the bike & treadmill (trying to drop some weight) Bought this after Huawei app for my Band 8 added loads of extra crap on it. Keeping an eye on the Mi Fitness app, though. Can never be too careful.I recommend checking the permissions on your phone.

What a cracking watch. I bought this for my partner but I've had one for 6 months and love it.It might take a bit of patience to set it up on the software side. There's a couple of videos on YouTube that'll help a lot. But it's not difficult.I use the watch to make and answer calls and it's been flawless. Just remember to adjust the volume settings on your phone WHILE in a call.The audio is good for both parties. The only small limitation that I've found is that you can only import a max of 10 contacts to the phone. Anyone else you'll have use the phone, although you can type a phone number directly into the watch. I have trouble remembering the date never mind a pile of phone numbers!There's a host of watch faces that you can use and it's even possible to import a photo to use as a background for the watch face!My partner uses hers to record how many steps and how much sleep she's completed. I actually removed those features from my setup as I don't need a watch to tell me that I woke up at 3am and didn't get back to sleep untill 5:16am😁. The heart rate monitor might be useful though for people of our vintage.I find the strap to be a bit of a faff to get lined up. It's a press fit. I have replaced the straps on both watches for normal ones. If you plan to do likewise then you need to know the size required to fit the lugs is 22mm.I wear varifocal specs which obviously I remove at bedtime. I have an Amazon echo device which shows the time, but I can't read it without my glasses. Nor can I read a normal watch face. I can however read the font that I installed on my watch in the dark, without my specs.Battery life is exceptional. I charge mine every couple of weeks.I've got so used to answering calls on my watch over Bluetooth I nearly went out in the car without my mobile phone!

The media could not be loaded. I bought this as I wanted a cheapish smartwatch that worked. I have a redmi note 10 pro phone and it connects to this flawlessly.It might not have all the bells and whistles of your hundreds of pounds watches, but this does what I want. It vibrates when I get an email or message (normal text messages or WhatsApp). It shows the first bit of wording of the email/text. It vibrates when I get a call (being a bit hard of hearing this is superb for me).Step is near my wife’s Apple Watch. Heart sensor is in line with a finger monitor I tried.it tells the weather and battery per left.If you are looking for a cheaper watch I highly recommended this.I’ve had a couple of those sub 20 pound watches and they are so poor compared to this.Happy 😃

I really really really love this watch. Unfortunately, it is a bit large for my hands. The battery lasts ages, calls are clear on it, it tracks sleep pretty accurately. I don't like the strap. It's fat and not fancy at all.i really should rate it a 4.4.

Big LED watch and quite heavy compare to the one I got before. Would prefer the Lite version stripe as the Active one is not as easy to put on.

Worth buying it. Good specs, Fitness tracker works great. Overall a good product. Strap is a bit of concern, often feels loose or may come off.

Ivee had the latest watches from Apple and Samsung (battery life under a day) through the years. Fitbits were a disappointment and the Amazfit weren't what I needed.This watch is amazing! Insane battery life, alarm function (sound or vibrate), timers, WhatsApp and banking notifications (plus any others I want to enable), okay for the shower, easy to read, and the battery life is incredible... absolutely brilliant, and at under £30 it's the bargain of the year.Highly recommended, proper pleased with this!!

The Alexa app stops responding with a "can't connect allow app to run in background" error message after a short while. Both the Alexa app and the Mi Fitness app have all the permissions including to run in the background. Other than this the watch is great, but I wanted Alexa, so I'm returning this watch.
