Xiaomi Redmi Watch Move specifications and in-depth review

Xiaomi Redmi Watch Move

Manufacturer: Xiaomi

The Xiaomi Redmi Watch Move is a lightweight smartwatch from Xiaomi's Redmi lineup, weighing just 25 g and housed in a compact 45.5 × 38.9 mm case. It sports a 1.85″ AMOLED display with a resolution of 390 × 450 px and a pixel density of 322 ppi, paired with an always-on display option and touch input. The band is replaceable, and the watch is designed for general consumer use rather than children or specialist activities.

On the health and connectivity side, the watch includes a heart rate monitor, blood oxygen tracking, sleep monitoring with reports, step counting, calorie burn estimation, and automatic activity detection. Bluetooth 5.3 handles pairing with both Android and iOS devices, while NFC, Wi-Fi, and GPS are absent. The 300 mAh battery supports wireless charging and is rated for up to 14 days of use. The watch holds an IP68 rating with a waterproof depth of 1.5 m, and the companion app — available free of charge — covers goal setting, coaching, food and water tracking, period and fertility notifications, and music playback control.

Pros
  • The 1.85″ AMOLED display with always-on mode and a pixel density of 322 ppi provides a sharp, constantly visible screen on the wrist
  • At 25 g with a compact form factor and replaceable band, the watch is easy to wear throughout the day
  • Wireless charging removes the need for a physical charging cable
  • A 14-day battery life reduces how often the watch needs to be recharged
  • IP68 waterproofing with a 1.5 m depth rating means the watch can handle water exposure reliably
  • The free companion app covers a wide range of wellness tools including women's health features, food diary, water tracking, coaching, and goal setting
Cons
  • No built-in GPS means outdoor activities cannot be tracked by location without a paired phone
  • The absence of a gyroscope, barometer, and compass limits the watch's usefulness for more detailed sport or outdoor tracking
  • Distance tracking and pace measurement are not supported, reducing utility for runners and cyclists
  • No NFC means contactless payments are not possible
  • Fall detection, ECG, and irregular heart rate warnings are absent, limiting health safety features
  • The watch is not compatible with Windows or Mac OS X, restricting desktop connectivity options
Who is this for?

This watch is well suited to everyday users who want a lightweight, comfortable device for general wellness tracking without the bulk of more complex wearables. Its sleep tracking, step counting, calorie monitoring, and women's health features make it a practical choice for those focused on daily health habits rather than intensive sport. The 14-day battery life and wireless charging will appeal to users who prefer low-maintenance wearables, while the IP68 waterproofing adds enough durability for daily wear including exposure to water. Call answering, wrist notifications, and phone-finding support also make it a reasonable companion for users who want basic smartwatch connectivity throughout the day.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who rely on built-in GPS for outdoor activities such as running, cycling, or hiking will find this watch inadequate, as it lacks both GPS and route tracking. The absence of a gyroscope, barometer, cadence sensor, and elevation tracking also makes it a poor fit for those who need detailed athletic performance data. It is equally unsuitable for users seeking advanced health monitoring, as there is no ECG, fall detection, or irregular heart rate warnings. Those looking to make contactless payments will be disappointed by the lack of NFC, and users who need their wearable to work with a Windows or Mac desktop environment will find compatibility options limited.
