The Redmi Watch 5 Active is suitable for swimming in certain conditions. It features a 5ATM water resistance rating, which means it can withstand water depths of up to 50 meters. This makes it suitable for swimming in pools or shallow water activities near the shore[1][4][7]. However, it is not recommended for use in hot showers, saunas, or while diving, as these conditions can compromise its water resistance[4][7].
Despite its water resistance, the Redmi Watch 5 Active does not have specific workout modes for tracking water sports or swimming activities[1][4][7]. This might be a limitation for users looking to monitor their swimming performance.
Additionally, the watch includes a feature to remove excess water from the speaker after exposure to water or sweat, which is useful for maintaining its functionality after swimming[3]. Overall, while the Redmi Watch 5 Active can be worn during swimming, it lacks dedicated swim tracking features.
