Redmi Watch First Impressions: Watch Out

Xiaomi has been in the wearables space in India for a really long time now. Its Mi Bands have cemented their position as value-for-money fitness trackers. Xiaomi also recently launched a smartwatch called the Mi Watch Revolve to cater to an audience with a higher budget. The company has now launched the Redmi Watch which sits right between the Mi Bands and the Mi Watch Revolve while promising to record fitness information with the same accuracy. The Redmi Watch also happens to be the first smart watch under the Redmi brand. I got to spend some time with the Redmi Watch, and here are my first impressions of it.

Redmi Watch Price in India

The Redmi Watch is priced at Rs.3,999 in India. It is available in three case colours (Black, Blue, Ivory) and four strap colour options (Black, Blue, Ivory, Olive). I had an all-black Redmi Watch with me for review.

Xiaomi has gone with a square dial for the Redmi Watch which is quite common among smartwatches at this price point. The body of the Redmi Watch is made out of plastic and is tightly sealed making it water-resistant up to 5ATM of pressure. The LCD screen measures 1.4 inches diagonally and has 2.5D curved glass on it. The case sides are flat with only a single multi-function button on the right.

The underside of the Redmi Watch has sensors and charging pins
