The Redmi Watch 5 Active is equipped with both a heart rate sensor and a blood oxygen (SpO2) sensor, which are essential for monitoring health and fitness metrics. However, the watch does not explicitly support simultaneous monitoring of heart rate and SpO2 in real-time. Instead, you can measure these metrics separately.
To monitor heart rate, you can access the Heart Rate app on the watch by swiping up from the watch face or navigating through the apps menu. Once in the app, you can view your current heart rate and set up continuous monitoring options, such as Smart, 1-minute, 10-minute, or 30-minute intervals[1][4].
For SpO2 measurement, you need to access the SpO2 feature within the watch's health monitoring options. This typically involves navigating to the SpO2 measurement section and following the on-screen instructions to take a reading[3].
While the watch can track both heart rate and SpO2, these measurements are typically taken at different times based on user input or scheduled intervals. The data collected is synced with the Mi Fitness app, allowing you to view detailed health metrics over time[3][7].
In summary, while the Redmi Watch 5 Active supports both heart rate and SpO2 monitoring, it does not offer simultaneous real-time monitoring of these metrics. Instead, you can take separate readings for each metric as needed.
