Xiaomi has a new fancy smartwatch, the Xiaomi Watch 5.
The Xiaomi Watch 5 was announced in China alongside the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. This one has a classic circular design with a 1.54-inch AMOLED screen with a smartphone-like 60Hz refresh rate, 480 x 480 resolution, and 1,500-nit peak brightness.
It is 5ATM water resistant, only weighs 56g (without the strap), 12.3mm thick, and has a synthetic sapphire crystal glass to protect the screen.
The watch has two chips. There’s the Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 for most tasks and a power-efficient BES 2800. Paired with the 930mAh battery, it can last for up to 6 days on a single charge, or 18 days under power-saving mode.
It runs on HyperOS 3 and offers features like an ECG sensor, heart-rate tracking, SpO2, stress and sleep tracking, supports over 150 sports modes, and full-color offline maps.
For connectivity, we have WiFi, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS, NFC, and support for eSIM.
It is then available in different looks and matching straps and comes in Black and White colorways with either rubber or leather bands.
The Xiaomi Watch 5 with the rubber strap is available in China for CNY1,999 (~Php16,800), while the leather model with eSIM comes in at CNY2,299 (~Php19,300).
