Redmi Watch 5 Lite, 1.96" Amoled, Advanced in-Built GPS, 5 ATM, 18 Day Battery, Bluetooth Calling with AI Noise Reduction, Always on Display, Black

Have used Fitbit versa, Samsung Active 2 earlier (both over 20k) this watch at 3.4K is a killer! Provides accurate results, doesn’t count steps when you are in your car or doesn’t have unnecessary features. The customization options on DND and flip to activate is what amazed me and even the ultra power saver mode that saves your battery like a charm. The call quality is great, and screen resolution is unmatched. The watch has an inbuilt GPS that provides you great accuracy in data, also HR monitor. The notifications provide you the option to filter using the app which ones you wish to get. Also, the strap quality is as good as my Samsung watch. What I liked the most is excellent battery backup. I have used it with all the features on, for one week with a single charge. If you put on DND and keep Bluetooth off, I’m sure 15 days it would surely last. Cons: the speaker for calling is placed below the watch that makes it inaudible if you have tied it tightly. Should have been better. The app says you may monitor your BP with the watch but watch doesn’t have such feature (may be they should remove it) Should provide a screen guard along, hard to find one in the market. It’s ok if they charge more or at least provide such option to buy along. Should have been provided an option to customise the physical button for actions. Overall, I recently used boat watches also which clearly lack in terms of accuracy and battery both. Hence this one is a clear winner. Updating this review after over a month’s extensive usage: Activity tracking: works like a charm, automatically detects your walk or cycling and notifies you, and the GPS tracker works like a charm, showing entire trail of your walk or cycling. The Hearteate monitoring accuracy is good too though it really doesn’t monitor it continuously in real time. The watch also has a flashlight mode which works really well. The app and interface is seamless so far and charge lasts over a week with always on display turned on. Never had any sort of charging anxiety as such. My wife uses a 50k worth garmin watch, and believe me it lacks some features that this watch provides. The camera feature is very useful for selfies.

I'm writing this review after using the watch for 4 months. Pros: 1. Battery life is excellent. You can use it in AOD mode for 7-8 days in light-medium usage. Full charging takes like 90 minutes in one go. 2. Display is vibrant and crisp. The AMOLED used is excellent. 3. The watch is very light and you can wear it easily 24/7 without any irritation. 4. The GPS is mostly accurate. Don't expect pinpoint accuracy but if you're using it for basic features like step counting, calories burnt then it works fine. 5. The sensors work fine. Cons: 1. The volume on bluetooth calls is a bit on the low side. You can use it properly in quiet places but forget about using it in loud areas. You'll have to switch to your phone there. 2. AOD brightness is a bit low. It works fine indoors but you won't be able to see it all under sunlight. There is no option to adjust AOD brightness level either. 3. Sometimes the step counter will malfunction and fail to reset the step count after midnight. I have had this happen twice in my 4 months of usage. 4. The number of watchfaces in the app is a bit lacking. There should have been more options available. We can't install watchfaces from outside sources either. 5. Bezels are a bit on the thicker side. Redmi should work on this. It's a good watch overall but don't expect features that are in Samsung or Apple smartwatches that are 5-10x the price of this watch. It's a value for money product if you're looking for a basic smartwatch to do basic stuff and just track your fitness.

A good quality watch with almost all necessary features like built in gps accurate trackers, calling features etc. A very good battery life & water proof , good for swimming without any worrying.
