Ziomi launched the Redmi Watch Ch5 in November 2024, but initially, it was only available in China. After the global release in January 2025, we got a unit for review and what we got is here.

The short story is: We were directly affected by this direct € 110 watch.
Conduct
Opening the Watch Ch5 introduced us to a beautiful aluminum alloy clock attached to the Lavender Purple TPU belt. Despite its € 110 worth of Tag Tags, it shows the impression of a more premium device.
Xiaomi has also provided us with two additional fast release stripes compatible with other devices in the same ecosystem: a cream made from Cowd leather and rose purple stripes featuring a Velcro textile design. Both complement the clock beautifully, but we found the purple version more versatile and mostly more durable.
Ziomi has accepted similarity with Apple Pal Watch Ch. On the one hand, the Redmi VCH Series may be confused with its distant rivals, which has its own achievement, but on the other hand the lack of originality is something frustrating.
Exhibition
The Redmi Watch Ch5 has 2.07 “AMOLED screen, which is the largest display in Ziomi Werable yet. It has a thin bezel at only 2 mm-as a result comes an 82% screen-to-body ratio, which helps make the case more systematically. Does
The 2.5D curved screen increases the size and utility, making it pleasant and easy to touch.
The screen reaches the impressive top brightness of 1,500 knit and refreshes at 60 Hz. This level of display quality is typical of a premium smartphone, and actually gives 5 edges against the Redmi Watch Watch Ch.
The LTPS panel allows some clock faces to dial at 5 Hz refresh rate, which expands battery life.
The colors look vibrant, and it is important to note that the face of the watch displayed in the Mi Fitness app on your smartphone looks just as stunning on the wearable device. In addition, there is always a display feature with two modes: always display and main performance.
They differ in their behavior when you raise your wrist. The first option always brightens the screen to display the display (AOD), while the second takes you directly to show additional visuals on the main screen.
The awakening acts perfectly with gestures – it is looking for a motion, understand when the wrist is reduced, and accordingly the display turns on and off.
S. SOFTWARE FITWARE AND HARD OWN
See 5 pairs of Redmi Mi Fitness app, which can be found on any app store. This is the main Ziomi application required for all health devices, which provide instruction and essential features such as Call Lent Management, Fitness and Health Tracking Matrix and Alarms.
The user interface of the clock is direct and user -friendly, which we appreciate. Each application icon shows its own design, which may appear chaotic at first glance; However, finding the app is quite easy. By pressing the rotating crown button, you can cause access to the app grid – this application can display with or without names, and there is also an option for the listing view. We found the default lt setting more effective.
Instructions appear immediately, but unfortunately, only a limited selection of the emojis function, so if your communication contains anything other than the letters and numbers, the symbols will not be displayed on the clock.
Ziomi introduced a new AFE chip (analog front-end), which gives 5.2% improvement in the accuracy of heart rate measurements and 10% in the accuracy of Sleep. However, sleep tracking is still absolutely inconsistent because the Redmi Watch Ch5 also responds to some movements. On the contrary, devices like Huawei V Watch Ch are actively monitoring the heart rate during the Sleep. Thus, if you are going to walk frequently at night, the Redmi Watch Ch5 can provide inaccurate reading.
Activity and Health Tracking
In addition, the device includes oxygen saturation and tension monitoring features of the blood; However, this should not be viewed as a medical-grade reading. With over 150 sports modes, Ziomi claims that it is an excellent choice for outdoor tracking thanks to built-in GNSS support.
The company has not announced what specific satellite paired with Werable. It is clear that it is not an American GPS or European Galileo, as the clock shows a little inaccuracy while running 5. This means that the Chinese Bido, mainly located for communication in China and is a potential candidate, not in Europe.
In terms of additional features, there are various courses designed for hobby runners, as well as breathing exercises designed for the average person. These features are well -designed and beneficial for both training and recovery.
The MI fitness app allows for a simple evaluation of all data, including visually attractive and understandable, including heart rate and sleep tracking.
Battery life and charging
We live in a world full of devices showing USB-C ports, though Ziomi has chosen to rely on the old-owned Pogo PIN charging solution. So the charger will be obsolete when the device eventually fails or replaced.
Luckily, the cable is not often required because the Redmi Watch Ch5 rarely needs to be charged. This warable facilitates an exceptional battery life, and the cable needs is needed every two to three weeks.
Ziomi emphasized that Werable can earn a 24 -day battery life, but that estimate is quite generous, assuming that most health tracking facilities are disabled. During our test, we are actively engaged with the device by going for a run, constantly monitoring the beats and stress levels, receiving instructions, and with the calls. This typical consumption still resulted in a 15 -day impressive battery life – in two weeks!
When it comes to charging, the 550mAh battery reaches full capacity in about 60 minutes. Only one hour downtime is really great for more than two weeks of use. When we always tested the Watch Ch 5 with the display (AOD), and the battery life was cut in half in about 9 days, which is more than the most warable.
However, there is no need for the AOD as we install, because the upbringing-to-vigilant gesture only works nicely and gives a look at the extra data on the clock’s face.
Judgment
Ziomi sells in some European markets in the Redmi V Watch Ch5 in 110D for Law, which looks like theft. It is an attractive, affordable, and long -lasting when the proper OS and advanced applications firmly cover the basic smartwatch functionality.
One is to say that it is very close to the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro (especially because the stripes work on both devices, making them more uniform). But having more options is not bad even if they are just about design.
So all the Redmi VCH Watch Ch5 instructions and basic health matrix tracking is a great device that brings excellent battery life. Yes, it is not ideal for fitness and sleep tracking, but at that price it will definitely find its customers.
