Is the Redmi Watch 5 Really Beautiful but Useless for Fitness Tracking?
The chip inside is identical to the one in the Watch4, but it falls short compared to the 9Pro. The Bluetooth version comes with 300MB of memory, and unfortunately, the updated operation logic feels just as unintuitive as the S4. Lag is noticeable, auto-brightness frequently misbehaves, and Bluetooth calls are plagued with issues.
To make matters worse, the factory system isn’t even at version 2.0, and the Fusion Center remains outdated. Oh, and let’s not forget—it’s also $100 more expensive than before. The only improvements? Xiao Ai can now speak, and the screen bezel is slightly thinner. But honestly, I couldn’t tolerate the confusing operation logic, so I ended up returning it [Disappointed R].
Feel free to ask if you’d like details about any specific problems!

I feel like the Redmi Watch 5 is a bit disappointing, especially since the fitness tracking doesn’t seem up to par with its competitors. It’s odd that the chip is the same as the Watch4 when the 9Pro clearly outperforms it. The lag and auto-brightness issues mentioned really resonate with my experience too. Overall, it seems like they could have done better.
I feel like the Redmi Watch 5 is a bit of a mixed bag. It looks good on paper, but the performance issues and outdated software really hold it back, especially for fitness enthusiasts who need reliability. I hope they address these problems soon because the potential is there, but it’s frustrating right now.
I was really hoping for more from the Redmi Watch 5, especially since it looks sleek. But the fitness tracking issues and software problems seem like deal-breakers for me. It’s disappointing that they haven’t improved on the chip or fixed basic bugs like Bluetooth connectivity. I might wait for the next model before considering this one.
Wow, that’s disappointing. I was considering the Watch 5 for fitness tracking, but the lag and Bluetooth issues sound like dealbreakers. Xiaomi really needs to step up their software game—hardware looks aren’t enough these days.
That’s disappointing to hear, especially since the design looks so sleek. I was considering upgrading from my Watch 4, but the lag and Bluetooth issues sound like a dealbreaker. Maybe I’ll wait for the next model if they don’t fix these problems soon.
Wow, sounds like Xiaomi dropped the ball with this one. I was considering upgrading from my Watch 4, but the identical chip and lag issues make it seem pointless. Shame about the fitness tracking too – guess I’ll wait for the next model.
Wow, sounds like Xiaomi prioritized looks over functionality again. I was considering this watch for workouts, but the lag and Bluetooth issues are dealbreakers. Shame they didn’t upgrade the chip properly—sticking with my old fitness band for now!
Wow, sounds like Xiaomi prioritized looks over functionality again. The lag and Bluetooth issues would drive me crazy—what’s the point of a fitness watch if the basics don’t work? Shame they didn’t upgrade the chip or fix the software from the Watch 4.
Wow, that’s disappointing to hear about the Watch 5. I was considering upgrading from my older model, but the lag and Bluetooth issues sound like a dealbreaker. Xiaomi really needs to step up their software game—hardware looks great, but what’s the point if it’s frustrating to use?
