Score: 81/100Rankings
The Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 Active offers an 18-day battery and a sizable 2-inch LCD, delivering solid fitness tracking and Bluetooth calling at a budget price.

Professional reviewers consider the Popglory Smart Watch an excellent low-price option for users who need basic fitness and notification features, especially praising its live sleep tracking, AI voice commands, and hands-free calling. However, they caution that the health sensors lack medical accuracy, the lack of GPS limits serious training, and the companion app offers only limited functionality, making it less suitable for power users.
Everyday users generally enjoy the watch for its affordable price, reliable step and heart-rate tracking, and convenient call and notification alerts. Common praise centers on the large screen, easy navigation, and live sleep data, while recurring complaints focus on inaccurate health metrics, absence of GPS, app sync issues on iOS, short battery life, and concerns about the cheap build quality.
“the affordable tech wearable you need”
“great gift”
Professional reviewers commend the Redmi Watch 5 Active for its impressive battery endurance, extensive sport modes, and functional Bluetooth calling, positioning it as a strong value proposition in the budget segment. However, they also point out that its low-resolution LCD, modest screen-to-body ratio, and plastic construction prevent it from competing with higher-end models that offer AMOLED displays and premium materials.
Everyday users generally appreciate the long battery life and comprehensive fitness features, especially the 140+ sport modes and health monitoring. Common criticism centers on the LCD screen quality and the perceived cheapness of the plastic case, with some users wishing for more detailed GPS capabilities.
