Good sports watch at a favourable price
I hope the review will be read by Xiaomi. I have tried unsuccessfully to post a review in the Xiaomi account.
I have been using the Redmi Watch 5 lite for about 1 month. It replaces a Redmi Watch 2 lite that broke after 28 months.
I use it as a sports watch and heart rate monitor, as well as sports documentation. For the price, the functionality is very good, not much less than some watches that cost €200. The watch has various sensors from which fitness data is derived: IR pulse measurement on the wrist, IR SPO2 measurement, movement and position sensor, GPS. When running, walking or cycling, the distance, speed, pulse and steps are recorded.
I am a rower and use the "rower" (Ergo) function, which records the strokes, frequency and pulse. With the "Rowing" function (outdoors), only the heart rate is recorded. What is that for? I expect for rowing: Distance, speed, pulse, strokes. The watch can do that! Hopefully there will be an update that makes this possible.
When walking and running, the watch shows implausible heart rate data, much too high. A comparison with my Polar chest strap also confirms this.
There are even more functions that I don't use: sleep, stress, breathing, weight (manual input), vitality value, blood pressure (manual input)
There is a confusing number of watch displays (band display). I use Corner office.
The watch can display a calendar. Unfortunately only the Xiaomi calendar from the mobile. I use the Google one.
The watch measures calories, steps, movement. I haven't yet found out how to set the daily goals.
The wristband takes a bit of getting used to, but it's OK for me.Pro
