Customization Options

It does not support adding custom ringtones from external sources like playback files directly through the watch's interface. However, you can select from the available options to personalize your call notifications.Steps to Change Ringtone

3. Select Ringtone: Within the sound settings, you can choose from the available pre-installed ringtones.
Limitations
While the watch does not allow you to add custom ringtones from external sources, you can only choose from the built-in options. This means you cannot use a song or a custom audio file as a ringtone unless it is part of the pre-installed options or through a workaround similar to those used on Xiaomi phones, which might not be applicable here.Additional Features
The Redmi Watch 5 Active supports features like vibration and silent mode, which can be adjusted in the sound settings. You can turn on or off vibrations and switch between silent mode and normal mode to customize how you receive notifications.In summary, while the Redmi Watch 5 Active offers some level of customization for ringtones, it is limited to the pre-installed options.
