Professional reviewers commend the DX2 for its kid-centric design, emphasizing the dual cameras, AR monster-detector game, and a wide selection of watch faces that spark creativity. They also praise the 16-hour battery and comfortable strap, but criticize the absence of Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, the tiny 1.44-inch display, low-resolution cameras, and limited storage, which place it at the bottom of its segment rankings.
Everyday users consistently highlight the watch's fun factor-children love selfies, filters, and AR games-while parents value the long battery life and sturdy strap. Recurring complaints focus on the quickly-filled memory, low-quality media, lack of wireless sharing, and the small screen.
“"super fun features"”
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.
