Based on 1 year's data from Mar 19, 2026 How it works
The Redmi Watch 5 is a good option in your case. The Smartband 9 Pro also has GPS and is more comfortable. It doesn't get the Active; it doesn't have GPS and is the worst on the list. The Xiaomi Smartband 10 is the most comfortable on the list, but it doesn't have GPS. The Watch 5 takes up a good amount of space on the wrist, it's comfortable but doesn't have the same purpose as the other devices. And it's probably the most complete on the list. If price isn't a problem, the Redmi Watch 5 and Xiaomi Smartband 9 Pro. If it is, get the Band 10, but it doesn't have GPS. It's far from the Redmi Watch 5 Active; it has a rather poor LCD screen. And, if I'm not mistaken, the Redmi Watch 5 allows you to put music on it and play it independently of your phone.

The biggest difference is the size; the Watch 5 is much larger, while the 9 Pro is better and more comfortable. But both are very comfortable. And the Watch 5 has a better, more complex and complete system, in addition to looking more "Premium". Regarding the Watch 6, Xiaomi and its brands never make absurd changes between generations; they bet more on small evolutions that add up over time. The Watch 6 probably won't be much better.
Inside WearOS: - OnePlus Outside WearOS - Samsung (GalaxyFit3) - Garmin - Polar - Coros - Huawei - Amazfit - Xiaomi - Pebble Personal recommendation for Android WearOS? - OnePlus Watch 3 Personal recommendation outside WearOS? - Huawei Watch GT series - Amazfit Bip 6 - Amazfit Balance 2 (Up to 21 days, from my experience, it is a tank in endurance) - Amazfit Active 2 - Garmin Vivoactive 6, Venu 3 (4 rumored to be coming soon), Garmin Fenix series, Garmin Enduro series (usually MIP display but there is one with AMOLED display, can last around a month) - Redmi Watch 5 (up to 21 days or so) - Pebble Time 2 or Pebble Duo 2 (Upcoming release with E-ink Paper display, up to 30 days) Note that these recommendations are strictly battery life related. Functionality wise, you're gonna have to choose.
much better if yung bblhin mo yung redmi watch 5 lite kasi may built in gps nayun hindi mona kelangan ng phone pag tatakbo ka. pero if gusto mo may music storage at sariling gps din yung redmi watch 5 na bilhin mo.
Any Xiaomi or Redmi smartwatch wonβt have any subscriptions needed or available at all. Love my Redmi watch 5.
Imstatistifed with Redmi watch 5. Maybe would be even worth waiting for 6 global release as they copy apple watch look more... They work with iphone. And w my usage after some calibration of the battery last 2weeks.. π
