The Redmi Watch Move is Xiaomi’s latest smartwatch. It is the cheapest model in the company’s lineup in markets like India, including Redmi Watch 5 active and strangely Redmi Watch 5 Lite, which is the most expensive.
The Redmi Watch Move makes some big claims despite an incredibly low -price tag of INR 1,999 (~ $ 23). Xiaomi claims that this model offers the best heart rate monitoring accuracy, the best step counter accuracy, the best performance and the best battery life in the section.
We will meet them, but let’s start with the first design. As it appears that every smartwatch Xiaomi makes these days, the Redmi Watch Move Design is very inspired by Apple Watch. Everything from glass curvature, the corners of performance, the edges of the clock, and even the size of the strap are close to the apple designs.
This is always the result in the same strange conversation about someone, so that you ask what you are wearing, after that it is not really an Apple Watch after an embarrassing entry, but only a show that is twenty times less. I am sure that for some people it can be a supporter instead of a con; Ultimately, imitations are present for prolonged luxury watches in the form of luxury watches. But if it is not your jam then you may be disappointed.
The straps are colorful with the clock, and you can choose from one of the four different color options. The straps have an Apple Watch Sport Band-style design, but with a buckle instead of a stud. They also have a very convenient release mechanism that requires a button pressing, and the strap is easily separated from the clock.
Being a budget device, the Redmi Watch Move Body is completely made out of plastic. You still get an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
A new addition for Redmi Watch design is a rotating crown on the side, which can definitely be pressed as a button. I did not find the rotating feature particularly useful because dial is rather hard and difficult to move. It only scrolls through screen content, which you can do very easily using touchscreen.
Following the display, the Redmi Watch Move has a 1.85 -inch AMOLED display with 390 x 450 resolution and 60Hz refresh rates. The performance is excellent with bright, vibrant colors and fantastic viewing angles. The high resolution makes the text and the clock faces look super smooth and the glow is enough. The display contains large -scale bezels around 3 mm, but most clock faces help hide it very well.
Unfortunately, there is an issue with performance, and it lacks automatic brightness. The panel can be quite bright, but you have to adjust the brightness manually. You can get with a medium glow that is still visible outside and does not blind you at night but it is far from the ideal.
The display always supports-on mode, which is easy. This clock reacts well at the bend of the wrist to check time. However, on our unit, the performance sometimes turns on, even though the wrist has not been rotated and I often found myself walking with a completely burnt panel. This is most likely that there is a calibration problem with the accelerometer and it can be fixed with a software update.
The watch has a built -in speaker and a microphone. The speaker becomes enough loud for information and calls and can even tickle a little with its reevaluation.
Hyperose software on the Redmi Watch Move is quite good. The UI on the clock is well excluded and easy to use. The same can be said about the Mi fitness app for Android and iOS, although the annoyance of creating and logging in an account remains.
The app offers you a ton clock face to use; Xiaomi claims that there are more than 200. There are many good and you should find at least something that takes your fans. Some clock faces also come with their own AOD mode, although most of the defaults only uses one.
The Redmi Watch is a super quick to download and enables a new watch face from the app, in which the entire process is often under two seconds. However, the clock can only store two additional watch faces that are already installed, and you cannot remove those four to make it to place. This passes through the face of all those 200+ clock, as you have to immediately remove to set the place for the next one immediately.

One of the four pre-installed watch faces is AI-Janit, which is part of limited AI functionality on this watch. You can speak a prompt and the watch will create an image for you. The process is slightly slow and you cannot only bicycle through them because it will only create an image at once and if you want more alternatives you will have to rebuild the prompt.
Despite this, I was having fun in generating some images until I hit the range of 30-free tests, after which the clock asked me to get a monthly membership of $ 2.5 ($ 2), if I wanted to produce more images. It is also not a Xiaomi membership, but some company is called AI Zone that the image generations.
The same company also handles other AI features, which is AI Q&A. This is a limited version of AI Chatbot that works more or less like Siri because you can only ask it a question at once. This is also not very good because I asked it time in a particular city and it told me that it could not do it, which is really helpful in coming from a watch.
The Redmi Watch Move is not like Alexi’s Ziaomi’s more expensive watches. If there is something that you use yourself a lot, then it will not be a clock for you.
Then there are all fitness features. The Redmi Watch Move has a monitoring of the underlying heart rate with blood oxygen sensors. Using data from both, it can also track other things, such as your stress, vitality and sleep. Xiaomi claims that the cardiovascular monitoring is 97% accurate, the highest in its orbit. It is not an easy way to verify that in addition to straping itself into the ECG machine, so I will take the word Xiaomi for this.
Finally, you get your normal stack of activities that can be tracked, in this case with auto-detection for 140+ six, including outdoor running, walking, walking, outdoor cycling, rowing, eggs, and jumping rope. The only thing to disappear from that list is swimming, which the clock will not track for any reason.
The Redmi Watch does not have the underlying GPS in the move, so it depends on your phone to provide information about the location. This means that you have to put your phone on you to use the location tracking features.
Xiaomi claims 14 days battery life. After about a week of use, I still had about 54% of the battery left, so I would say that the claim seems accurate. The charger is just a thin USB cable that attachs magnetically to the back of the clock.
Thought on everything, I think the Redmi Watch is fantastic for the move price. INR 1,999 is very low for facilities and functionality on the proposal here. I was affected by the limit of display, software, battery life and fitness-tracking features. It lacks some things like GPS and Alexa that offers more expensive models of Xiaomi, and are very derived to take the design seriously. But if you can see those things then it is an extraordinary good value.
