Redmi Watch 5 Active: Too Cheap or too BASIC? [REVIEW]

[@themyth3686]

I don't like always on display anyway. I'll consider buying it soon

[@TechMishka]

Then this one sounds like the right for you

[@dragosc8326]

The biggest drawback for me, even for the Lite version is the missing of auto brightness, considering there's no shortcut to adjust it.

[@TechMishka]

Agreed! Drives people nuts!

[@firdauszainudin7118]

​@@TechMishkaDoes redmi watch active 4 has no auto brightness too?

[@medhatgobara]

13 days charge and continue,,, still 22% Really good 👍

[@user-jq9wz7ld7f]

How is your experience? What is the disadvantage u notice it?

[@medhatgobara]

@user-jq9wz7ld7f Good, It shows every little notification on your phone, You can call and receive phone calls, It shows caller's name Mic is really good , But, no apps in the watch You can see notifications only

[@TechMishka]

Great 👍

[@Nelsonforce77]

Does it work with the WhatsApp app? And is it supposed to be better or worse than the lite version?

[@TechMishka]

It can show notifications from Whatsapp. And the Lite is much better.

[@mayanguddeti4564]

What is a good smartwatch under 100$ AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS with 4g or gps and good software

[@TechMishka]

No 4g, but the GPS is nice indeed.

[@asgartantua4748]

can i used this for running? without bringing my phone.

[@TechMishka]

Sure

[@johnhabib1745]

I'm trying to decide between this and Mi Band 9, what would you recommend to get?

[@TechMishka]

This has GPS, and this is a big deal.

[@livingthingsplay]

Same here I'm in between those 2. I don't mind anything sport related (don't do sports at all) just want to have a cute time day display with timer, control Spotify with it, and that's all I care overall

[@HafizaRahaFatima786]

Wanna receive calls from this watch..is this possible??

[@humayonkhan343]

Thanks for review ❤

[@TechMishka]

My pleasure 😊

[@Arysathecreator]

I have a question, does the camera allow you to see the photo? And does it have a gallery?

[@TechMishka]

No, it doesn't show a preview. And doesn't have a gallery app

[@tornado7066]

Can it automatically answer calls through the setting in numberpad on the phone?

[@TechMishka]

I didn't see such an option there. Might depend on the brand/is too.

[@renatobrasa]

If you are going to use AI voce for other languages, just dont add them. Captions are more important then AI voice over, so hire/use something to make official at least English captions.

[@TechMishka]

I believe it is something down to KZbin. I was told that auto dubbing will be wnaed for my channel, looks like it is ON now

[@LuxEtVeritas2001]

Between mi band 6 and this one, which is better?

[@TechMishka]

This one is newer and has better hardware

[@EllaryMorata-i3d]

When global version of Redmi 5 and the eSIM version releases, I hope you can review them!

[@TechMishka]

I will for sure. But I doubt there will be eSIM globally.

[@JohnRioXyrielCargamento]

this is still have a gps without connect in bluetooth?

[@TechMishka]

Yup

[@yhakak]

Thanks for the review! Would you say I should wait for the band 9 pro global over this?

[@TechMishka]

Yes, definitely

[@dhaval4570]

Great detailed video, subbed ! Had a question does it provide constant heart rate while running ? And if so at what interval is the heart rate updated ? Please do answer.

[@TechMishka]

Yes, it measures continuously during workout.

[@dhaval4570]

@TechMishka it updates in how many seconds can you please check and tell me :)

[@leeseetak]

At this price, it can do almost everything a smart watch can do, will opt for this instead of overprice apple watch

[@TechMishka]

The price is indeed too tempting

[@bicatu]

How about Review of the regular 5 version?

[@TechMishka]

Still not out. Testing the Lite version now.

[@bicatu]

@TechMishka unacceptable. You should be able to review inexistent products as well :) Thank you. One aspect you could add that I haven't seen in other reviews is comparing the 5 lite with the regular 4 to see if the missing features are really that impactful

[@DeneF]

Many thanks. Just curious. Does it have any IP rating? Thanks.

[@TechMishka]

Xiaomi's website says 5ATM water resistant. It's the only official statement I can see

[@LionelBalak]

Which is better? This or the 5 lite???

[@TechMishka]

The Lite

[@majasdolittle2498]

Just ordered It’s really cheap and it’s Amazon sells now

[@TechMishka]

Yup

[@uzzielledelacruz]

Can u use ur own watch (photo)face?

[@TechMishka]

Yeah

[@ainorbrianmeman1866]

Is it good on ios?

[@TechMishka]

It is

[@rakat04]

When can we expect the review of Xiaomi band 9 Pro? The global version is available in the UK, Japan and some other countries.

[@TechMishka]

On its way ☺️

[@NotTheRealMiniBloxia]

@@TechMishka I am waiting in the review as well

[@juanitoeldronero]

No me funciona Alexa, no sale 😢 que puedo hacer, dice que no disponible en la región, pero si yo uso varios dispositivos Alexa :(

[@TechMishka]

You will have to live without it...

[@Someguywithdreams1234]

Hello bro should i get this watch because i can get for 31 dollars Is it good value for money if i get it for 31 dollars

[@TechMishka]

Totally!

[@jz6246]

This or xiaomi band 9? Super torn between the two as they are priced closely. Or any other recommendations within the price range? Thank youuu!

[@TechMishka]

I'd go for the band 9

[@jz6246]

@ hoping you’d do a video comparing them side by side. Any other recommendations in this price range, sir? Nonetheless, thank you so much for the reply. Much appreciated!

[@HMZMEERREACTSS]

Please do a review of black Shark GS3 Watch

[@TechMishka]

I'll see what I can do about it

[@jefemuga416]

here just before christmas shopping to see if I should order it. thanks for the good review. I do feel like you beat up on the watch a little too much. remember that this baby is very affordable.

[@TechMishka]

I try to be as objective as possible. Mi Bands are also very affordable.

[@rydhwan]

Finally, my life’s work has paid off-I’ve become the chosen one to witness the ultimate Xiaomi Redmi Watch review before anyone else. Does this mean I get a free watch now, or just bragging rights?

[@kiokokinama8427]

Lol😂

[@TechMishka]

😂

[@amrsalem2590]

Is alexa available in any other regions+ what is the difference between it and the lite one❤ +love ur vedios so much and one last thing can i reply on notifications with fast replys?

[@TechMishka]

No fast replies, mate. The Lite is much better.

[@AyukaAmameth]

yoo review the redmi watch 5 lite its soo new

[@TechMishka]

Yeah ♥️

[@ילדיגורודיש]

8TH

[@TechMishka]

😍

[@MADba111]

So just yesterday I got Huawei band 9 and today I've found Redmi Watch 5 Active for an even lower price on Aliexpress. Now I'm torn whether I should return Band 9 and get this one. Buyer's remorse is real. This sucks and I hate this feeling ಠ_ಠ

[@bobrozentuin4056]

The Huawei Band 9 is more accurate. Keep it.

[@TechMishka]

Keep the band 9

[@kamiranrekani7220]

Bro it's cheap comparing to price and its specific

[@TechMishka]

Yup!

[@EllaryMorata-e5t]

Do the lite version this time! 😊

[@TechMishka]

Sure thing ♥️

[@haroldchantioco6134]

That smartwatch is crap. It wont sync my runs on strava, however some aerobics or weghtlifting it sync on my strava.

[@TechMishka]

This is weird 🧐

[@AnasHelal123]

Dont you have to use the mi fitness app?

[@BRSPro]

It syncs from Mi Fitness app

[@nedimbecirevic87]

it looks huge on hand

[@TechMishka]

☺️

[@NotTheRealMiniBloxia]

I’m in 3rd place

[@TechMishka]

♥️

[@ajimonjoy6514]

[@TechMishka]

No dedicated app. You can receive and review notifications though

[@moso0258]

[@TechMishka]
