To check sensor readings on the Redmi Watch 5 Active, you primarily need to use the Mi Fitness app. This app is designed to collect data from the watch's sensors, including heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO2), stress, and other health metrics. The Mi Fitness app provides a user-friendly interface for managing these features and offers detailed insights into your health and fitness activities[7].
Additionally, there is a specific app called the Redmi Watch 5 Active App, which is designed for seamless connectivity and real-time health tracking. This app allows for easy pairing with the watch, enabling features like fitness monitoring, notifications, and watch face customization. However, it seems to be less commonly referenced compared to the Mi Fitness app[1].
For troubleshooting sensor issues, such as when the sensor is not working properly, you might need to follow specific steps like restarting the watch, checking for physical damage, resetting the device, or updating the firmware. These steps can help resolve common problems without requiring additional apps[2][4].
In summary, while the Mi Fitness app is the primary tool for managing sensor readings, the Redmi Watch 5 Active App can also be useful for connectivity and customization purposes. However, for detailed health insights and sensor data management, the Mi Fitness app is more comprehensive.
