Redmi Watch 5 Lite arrives with an AMOLED screen, Bluetooth calling, and GPS

Xiaomi's Redmi launched the Redmi Watch 5 Active last month, and today, the brand introduced the Redmi Watch 5 Lite.

The Redmi Watch 5 Lite looks similar to the Watch 5 Active but packs an always-on AMOLED display instead of LCD. It measures 1.96" diagonally and is brighter with 600 nits peak brightness. Its resolution is also higher (502x410 pixels) and supports 200+ cloud watch faces, of which 50+ are customizable, and 30+ are always-on (AOD).

The Redmi Watch 5 Lite runs HyperOS and is compatible with smartphones running Android 6 or iOS 12 and above. It also comes with Alexa and has emoji and Hindi language support. Additionally, it supports Bluetooth calling and features a speaker and two microphones for environmental noise cancellation (ENC) to facilitate clear calls.

For health and fitness tracking, the Redmi Watch 5 Lite has a heart rate sensor and supports 150+ indoor and outdoor sports modes. It can also track swimming performance since it has 5 ATM water resistance.

The rest of the Redmi Watch 5 Lite's highlights include a multi-functional side button, in-built GPS, SpO2 sensor, and Bluetooth 5.3. The smartwatch packs a 470 mAh battery, advertised to offer up to 18 days of endurance under typical use and 12 days under heavy usage.

The Redmi Watch 5 Lite's dial weighs 29.2g without straps, which are made of TPU and have an adjustable length of 135-200mm. The smartwatch comes in Black and Light Gold colors, while the straps come in Candy Pink, Mint Green, and Lemon Yellow.

This is a smartwatch with microphone and speakers that need extra seals selling for only $50. I doubt you can find a "real watch" with better water resistance for $50.
