The Redmi Watch 5 Active is equipped with a heart rate sensor that allows for continuous monitoring of heart rate, providing users with real-time insights into their heart health. While the watch does not explicitly offer alerts or notifications based solely on heart rate data, it can track and display heart rate variations throughout the day. This feature is useful for monitoring workouts, daily activities, or simply keeping an eye on heart health.
To enable continuous heart rate monitoring on the Redmi Watch 5 Active, users can follow these steps:
1. Access the Heart Rate App: Press the side button to access the apps page, locate the Heart Rate app (represented by a red icon with a white heart), and tap on it to open. Alternatively, users can access the Heart Rate widget by swiping left from the watch face until they find the widget with a red heart icon[1][4].
2. Configure Continuous Monitoring: Within the Heart Rate app, scroll through the menu and tap on "Settings." Here, users will find the "Continuous Monitoring" option, which is typically off by default. Tap on it to activate continuous monitoring. Users can choose from options like "Smart" for automatic monitoring based on activity, or set intervals of 1 minute, 10 minutes, or 30 minutes[1].
3. Interpret Heart Rate Data: The watch will continuously monitor heart rate according to the chosen interval and provide readings. Users can view their heart rate data directly on the watch or through the Mi Fitness app on their smartphone, which offers more detailed insights and trends over time[4][6].
While the Redmi Watch 5 Active does not provide specific alerts for heart rate anomalies, users can monitor their heart rate data to identify any unusual patterns or changes, which can then be addressed by consulting a healthcare professional if necessary. The watch's comprehensive suite of health and fitness features, including sleep tracking, stress monitoring, and over 140 sport modes, makes it a valuable tool for maintaining overall health awareness[6].
