Redmi Watch 5 Active — Detailed Features Overview

Design and Display:

The Redmi Watch 5 Active boasts a sleek and sporty design tailored for an active lifestyle. It features a 1.47-inch AMOLED touchscreen display with a resolution of approximately 368 x 198 pixels, delivering vibrant colors and sharp details. The screen has excellent brightness levels, making it easily readable even under direct sunlight, and supports an always-on display mode for convenience. The watch is designed with a lightweight yet durable polymer frame and a comfortable silicone strap that is sweat-resistant, ensuring it stays comfortable during workouts or all-day wear. The overall build emphasizes a balance of sturdiness and style, suitable for casual and fitness-oriented users alike and is available at Mobihub Electronics Kenya.

Health and Fitness Tracking:

The Redmi Watch 5 Active is packed with comprehensive health-monitoring sensors. It features a 24/7 heart rate monitor powered by advanced PPG sensors, capable of providing continuous real-time heart rate tracking with alerts for abnormal heart rates. The watch supports SpO2 (blood oxygen) monitoring, allowing users to check their blood oxygen saturation levels—a useful feature for altitude adjustment or health monitoring during sleep.

Additionally, it includes sleep tracking that analyzes sleep stages such as deep sleep, light sleep, and REM, offering insights into sleep quality and tips for improvement. The watch also has a stress monitoring function that uses heart rate variability to assess stress levels, helping users manage their wellbeing.

Fitness and Sports Modes:

The Redmi Watch 5 Active supports a wide range of sports and workout modes — usually over 100 different activity types. This includes running, walking, cycling, swimming (thanks to its 5 ATM water resistance), yoga, hiking, and even more niche activities like dance or cricket. The watch can automatically recognize certain workout types and start tracking without manual input, enhancing usability during spontaneous exercise sessions.

For runners and cyclists, the watch provides GPS tracking to accurately map routes and track pace, distance, and calories burned. It also features an integrated Pedometer to count daily steps and motivate users toward movement goals.

Smart Features and Connectivity:

Running on a custom lightweight operating system, the Redmi Watch 5 Active offers seamless smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth. Once paired, it provides notifications for calls, messages, emails, and apps directly on the wrist, allowing quick glances without needing to pick up the phone.

The watch supports music controls, so users can play, pause, or skip tracks on their phone’s music app from the watch. It also offers weather updates, alarm clock functionality, timer, stopwatch, and a find-my-phone feature.

Battery life is notable — the Redmi Watch 5 Active can last up to 10 days on a single charge under typical usage, thanks to efficient hardware and software optimizations. Charging is done through a magnetic dock, making it convenient to juice up between uses.

Durability and Build:

The device is rated with 5 ATM water resistance, meaning it can withstand pressures equivalent to a depth of 50 meters. This makes it suitable for swimming and general water exposure but not for diving.

The watch glass is made from corning gorilla glass or a similar toughened glass variant to resist scratches and everyday wear. The strap is quick-release, allowing users to swap bands easily to customize style or fit.

User Interface and Customization:

The Redmi Watch 5 Active features a user-friendly interface with swipe and tap gestures. Users can customize watch faces extensively, choosing from dozens of available designs or downloading new ones through the companion app. These watch faces can display useful info like time, date, weather, step count, heart rate, and more.

Users can also customize workout settings, notifications, and health alerts to tailor the experience to their preferences.
