To change the region on your Redmi Watch 5 Active, you will need to use the Mi Fitness app, which is typically used for managing Xiaomi and Redmi devices. Hereâs a step-by-step guide:
1. Open the Mi Fitness App: Start by opening the Mi Fitness app on your smartphone. This app is essential for managing and customizing your Redmi Watch 5 Active.
2. Navigate to Profile Settings: Once the app is open, tap on your profile icon, usually located at the top right corner of the screen. Then, select "Settings" from the menu.
3. Select Region: Within the settings menu, look for the "Region" option. Tap on it to access the list of available regions.
4. Choose Your Desired Region: From the list provided, select the region you wish to change to. For example, if you want to enable features like Alexa, you might need to set the region to a country where such services are supported, such as the United Kingdom[2].
5. Confirm the Change: After selecting your desired region, you may be prompted to confirm the change. Follow any on-screen instructions to complete the process.
6. Pair Your Watch Again: After changing the region, you might need to reconnect your Redmi Watch 5 Active to your phone. Go to the watch's settings, select "System," and then choose "Connect to new phone" to pair it again[2][9].
7. Finalize Setup: Once paired, ensure that all necessary permissions are granted and that your watch is properly connected to your phone.
Changing the region can affect the availability of certain features and apps on your device, so ensure that you understand any implications before making the change. If you encounter any issues during the process, consider resetting your watch to its factory settings or reinstalling the Mi Fitness app[3].
