XIAOMI Redmi Watch 5 Lite review - Xiaomi

Review of the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 Lite


Summary of user reviews:

Positive points:

  • 6 out of 6 users talk about the quality/price ratio. This is clearly the point that comes up most often. Many believe that the watch rivals models sold much more expensively.
  • 5 out of 6 reviews highlight autonomy. Some people talk about 3 to 4 weeks with typical use, which is becoming rare today on a connected watch.
  • 4 users directly mention the quality of the AMOLED/OLED screen: good brightness, clear display, readability in direct sunlight and rendering considered very serious for the price.
  • 4 reviews speak of simple and fluid use: easy synchronization, clear menus and a pleasant Mi Fitness application on both Android and iPhone.
  • 3 users particularly appreciate the comfort on the wrist: light, discreet watch and pleasant to wear even all day or while sleeping.
  • 2 reviews highlight the GPS, considered quick to capture and sufficiently precise for running or classic sports use.
  • 2 users highly appreciate the customization of the dials with numerous watchfaces available.
  • 1 user highlights the practical side of the physical button to avoid involuntary touch activations in the shower or while sleeping.

Negative points:

  • 1 user recalls that the precision remains lower than that of a high-end Apple Watch, particularly for sports or certain advanced data.
  • 1 feedback criticizes the white bracelet, considered elegant but quite messy on a daily basis.
  • 1 user finds voice functions like Alexa or wrist calls rather gimmicky in real life.

Shared/mixed points:

  • Advanced connected functions divide slightly. Some people like the microphone, speaker and Alexa, while others find these functions of little use in everyday life.
  • GPS is considered good for leisure use, but no reviews speak of “ultra sporty” precision comparable to high-end specialized watches.

Advice :

The Redmi Watch 5 Lite seems above all to seduce with its general balance. Successful screen, enormous autonomy, comfort, ease of use and complete functions… for a very low price. Frankly, this is what comes out in almost all the reviews.

On the other hand, if the objective is to obtain ultra-in-depth sports data or precision equivalent to premium models such as Apple Watch or high-end Garmin, you must remain realistic: this is not your field.

But for someone who wants a simple, pleasant and effective connected watch on a daily basis without blowing their budget, the feedback is frankly very good.
