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To make matters worse, the factory system isn’t even at version 2.0, and the Fusion Center remains outdated.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.
