The Redmi Watch 5 Active offers a solid battery life, with a 470mAh battery rated for up to 18 days of light use and 12 days of heavy use, though real-world testing often results in around 10-11 days of use[1]. However, there are smartwatches that provide better battery life. For instance, the Redmi Watch 5 itself is reported to have a battery life of up to 24 days under typical use, though real-world testing shows it can last around 15 days with active health tracking features enabled[7][9]. Another example is the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro, which, while not a traditional smartwatch, offers extended battery life similar to the Redmi Watch 5.
In terms of other brands, Amazfit and Huawei often release smartwatches with impressive battery life. For example, some Amazfit models can last up to a month or more on a single charge, depending on usage patterns. However, these models might not always offer the same level of features as the Redmi Watch 5 Active.
The Redmi Watch 5 Lite offers around 7 days of battery life with Always-On Display (AOD) enabled, which is less than the Active model but still competitive in its price range[2]. Overall, while the Redmi Watch 5 Active provides good battery life for its price, there are options available that offer even longer battery life, often at a slightly higher price point or with different feature sets.
