Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5

Genuinely impressive product. Exceptional value compared to similar options priced 10x higher

Excellent buy!!! Honestly wasn’t expecting such quality after trying so many smartwatches. Highly recommended

This is a good watch, £40, tells the time, doesn't need a battery replacing every 8 months, can make and recieve phone calls, gives me updates and I use the timer function quite a bit for work:)How accurate or not the rest of it is doesn't really bother me.Looks good, feels good. Works well for what I use!Thank you:)

I've had a few smart watches and they've annoyed me with a lack of configuration. This one is very configurable. Battery life is really good. I honestly cannot find a fault with this.Verry happy with my purchase!

This is a £40 smart watch/tracker. Mostly it's very good like the other reviews suggest, however there are two glaring (to me) issues that mean I will be returning it.1: the step counting is woefully inaccurate. It varies between double counting heavier strides and entirely ignoring lighter walking. I've repeatedly walked across a room several times using my normal stride and it's counted no steps when I've counted 40. Then I'll intentionally walk with a heavier stride and watch it double count steps. Moreover it will count steps when I'm engaged in over activities using my hands but not walking. Overall it's wildly inaccurate and that makes me doubt the accuracy of it's other sensors like calories burnt.2. I can find no way to set the date format to DD/MM (UK/EU style) rather than MM/DD (US style). This appears to be a common issue with Xiaomi devices based on Google searches, cropping up as far back as 2017, with no resolution offered by the company. That suggests strongly that this is a company who doesn't care about customer feedback. Yes it's a small thing, and this is a cheap watch, but showing the correct date is core functionality of a watch and the fact this hasn't been fixed despite years of issues with past devices gives me 0 hope it will be fixed now.So, I'll be returning the watch and getting a different model from another brand.

It is pretty good. But... I was looking for a tracker to rival my 10 year old Garmin Forerunner 235, and I don't think this is it. I have no idea how to manually lap on this watch, and the VO2 max estimator doesn't seem to work which is a bit annoying. It is very good at handling calls and is responsive, but I don't know whether I would buy it again.

I need to stop being gullible. I really believed the reviews, not just on here but YouTube as well. This watch is not all that. But my main problems with it are as follows:* The Android app it needs to function drains the battery absurdly quickly, and I wasn't even playing around with it excessively. Something to do with the permissions it needs to run constantly in the background and being poorly optimised.* Some of the measurements it provides are simply wrong. Like Oxygen saturation (SpO2) for example. The watch consistently gives readings 3-5% ABOVE the one from a medical grade (A&D) oximeter provided by the NHS. This is dangerous. Well outside any sane margin of error. It could indicate that someone is fine when their oxygen saturation is an emergency.* Date format is American (MM/DD) not British (DD/MM), and it cannot be changed. Nowhere in Settings allows you to change this. The correct date format is a fundamental requirement in a watch. I don't think I've ever come across an electronic device before that so blatantly ignores locale settings and forces the American format. I don't live in America. I live in the UK. I bought the device from Amazon UK. WTH? Seriously.* The vibration is insanely weak. Useful for notifications when wide awake (you can just about feel them), but this thing is NOT going to wake you up. It's so pitifully weak on max vibration strength that you're not even going to dream there's a wasp buzzing around your wrist.
